Angels, fore and aft

Month, Day: 182, Names, Names (Justice) 

Koran, Kaf

We created man: and we know what his soul whispereth to him, and we are closer to him than his neck-vein.

When the two angels charged with taking account shall take it, one sitting on the right hand, the other on the left:

Not a word doth he utter, but there is a watcher with him ready to note it down:

And the stupor of certain death cometh upon him: "This is what thou wouldst have shunned"--

And there shall be a blast on the trumpet,--it is the threatened day!

And every soul shall come,--an angel with it urging it along, and an angel to witness against it 5--

Archetypal 2

Month, Day: 182, Perfection, Might (Glory) 

Further on an archetypal notion: 

These journeys have no visible ending in the world of time, but the severed wayfarer—if invisible confirmation descend upon him and the Guardian of the Cause assist him—may cross these seven stages in seven steps, nay rather in seven breaths, nay rather in a single breath, if God will and desire it. And this is of “His grace on such of His servants as He pleaseth.” 12
