This is the reason why a seer or mystic is often able to know beforehand his own condition, and the condition of others - what is coming, or what has passed, or what is going on at a distance; for he knows the language of sound and color. Now the question is: On which plane does he know the language of sound and color? In what way do they manifest to him? One cannot restrict this to a certain law, and at the same time it has a certain law. Where does he see it? He sees it in his breath.
