The question very often arises, "If an angel comes from above, does it descend outwardly before a person; or manifest within a person in the heart?" The "lift" which brings a soul down and takes it back to heaven is situated within; that "lift" is the breath; the soul comes to earth with the breath, and with the same breath it returns. Those among human beings who are not even aware of their own breath, how can they know who comes within themselves and who goes out? Many seem wide awake to the life without, but asleep to the life within; and though the chamber of their heart is continually visited by the hosts of heaven, they do not know their own heart; they are not there.
