In my vision we were facing east and I noticed something queer and found out it
was two men coming from the east and they had wings. On each one's breast was
a bright star... They had an herb in their hands and showed it to me saying, 'Behold
this; with this on earth you shall undertake anything and accomplish it.' As they
presented the herb to me they told me to drop it on earth and when it hit the earth
it took root and flowered. You could see a ray of light coming up from the flower,
reaching the heavens, and all the creatures of the universe saw this light.
