757. As we have seen, this evasion does not mean that the phenomenon is a "something" that suddenly as if by magic springs out of "nothing"; it is on the contrary a creation that, with an input of mental forces, became possible in a situation in which the physical forces were not enough. The appearance of a "miracle" is just as natural a thing as any other form of creation, but could not be released if the previously mentioned mental beings beyond the physical plane did not exist. These superterrestrial beings – which incidentally were also mentioned by Christ when he said, "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation" – constitute, as we have said, the Godhead's sensory tools in situations in which the sensory powers of the physical beings are not strong enough. These are also the beings that are described as "angels" and are sometimes symbolised as human-like beings with wings. These wings symbolise their superterrestrial nature as beings that can "move" between their home, "heaven", that is to say the aforementioned mental or spiritual sphere, and the physical or terrestrial sphere.
      On account of this invisible host of beings, which actually surrounds the physical spheres, no living being can be cut off from its connection with the Godhead. These beings constitute the Godhead's sensory tools in all situations in which we cannot find understanding in our physical fellow beings, or where these beings are not able to be the Godhead's rightful tools for sensing us. These mental beings are therefore in particular the sensory tools through which the Godhead perceives our intimate, solitary appeal or prayer to him. That these solitary appeals or prayers are not always immediately and "miraculously" heard goes without saying. As we pointed out previously, we often drown out or neutralise our intimate, solitary appeals to the Godhead with an excessively noisy and harmful behaviour towards our neighbour, with the result we make it very difficult to obtain the desired granting of the prayer. But in all circumstances in which our intimate appeal to Providence is not disturbed by our antipathy, indignation or anger towards other beings, and it does not collide with the particular way in which our fate is decided at this moment, every normal prayer will be heard by the Godhead, which means it will perceived by these mental beings. And we will be helped, supported and guided in all circumstances in which we cannot be helped by physical means.
      It is therefore actually correct when the Bible says, "Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you". Every natural or normal prayer will be heard, but not always in the way that the person praying would wish it, but as God would wish it, which means in the way that in the long run will be the greatest blessing to the person praying, quite regardless of what he might think about how the prayer has been answered at the moment.
