On closing eyes immediately
became conscious of brilliant white light, far off;
and I did not see this light as I have seen other
visions. It seemed at the other end of the “wire”,
and there was great happiness and rejoicing. At this
end I reflected somewhat of that Love. Then I became
conscious of colours, a mosaic it seemed, and tones
corresponding to those colours. Afterwards these
colours became a mass of flowers which fell by me,
and out of the sky troupes myriads of people, but
there was not the brilliance of the first light.
I was tired when starting.
Kept silent for a time, then
realized I was seeing with an entirely new set of
eyes—part of that “subtle body” on which I have been
working recently? Former visions impressed upon
upper fore-part of head. This part now still, while
something about lower part of face and shoulders
looked at pyramid shaped rocks rising out of
darkness, the apex no lighter than of an evening.
Read a bit from “Moonstone”.
Put it away, with an automatic “Thank you”, as
though somewhat was done for me and start work. |

I regard again with “subtle
body”, this time from chest and stomach region, and
see a garden walk leading down to a gate in a stone
and cement wall. I see apple trees—no, in shape
between an apple and an olive—I see bits of grey
moss on their trunks. A hill rises back of this. I
sense a water trough to my right and slightly back
of me,* then find myself looking from centre
of my back and see the home, of stone, I think, with
posts supporting balcony. There shade trees all
around, they seem like sycamores, the bark is white
flecked. To my left the ground slopes downward and
this is an orchard.
*back of water trough,
with roadway between, a shed for vehicles, space for
three, I see no horses.
A wonderfully peaceful, homey
scene, the entire scene in nature’s colors, most
realistic I have yet seen. |

As an experiment use forehead.
Two horses, first bay, second
black, in darkness on left-hand side of shed, in
lean-to, feeding from a manger, their rumps toward
me. The private roadway leads over slight rise
between path and shed, a pile of loose stones next
to lean-to, a cherry tree growing beside it, the
path to gate dropping lower and lower from roadway
and at a slight curve-angle to left. |

ugliest word I know, it is not [illegible].
