Background
A description of the experience
Wisdom is greater than fate (those who think about the immortal part of themselves recognize the angels as brothers, God as a father, and the body as a servant). For the better part of us is created in the image of God like the angels. Those who engage in contemplating these things and dwell on eternal matters, removing the soul from sensible things, will be removed from corporeal contagion and dominate the stars. They will see the clouds and the stars of heaven beneath their feet.[Grua]
