I have a friend here who had a vision one night years ago.
He was going through the worst time of his life, a time of violence, drugs, and
alcohol. One night, drunk and drugged, he passed out in his bathroom, onto
the cold hard tile. He lay there a long while, unable to move, thinking
this might be the end for him. But in a misty cloud, four men suddenly
appeared before him. He knew they had to be angels. They looked
somewhat like Indians, though not like any he had ever seen before. They
had flowered nests on their heads, carried flowered ropes, and wore various
kinds of skins at their waists. They were fantastically beautiful.
One of them reached his hand out toward my friend, and lifted him off the floor
of the bathroom, which had completely disappeared around him in the blue
fog. They told him that this was the only time they would be able to help
him, and that unless he could get his life together, the next time could be his
last. And then they faded away, leaving him standing there stunned.
It worked. He fully believes it was a real event, that it actually
happened; but he says, it doesn't matter whether it was real or just an
incredible dream, the effect was the same. He made an abrupt and complete
change in his life, and is still doing very well.
Even though several years had passed, he was still able to describe the Indian angels to me in great detail, and asked me to draw them for him as best as I could. I still haven't completely finished it.
