Speed. Hit the ground running and be ready to evade.

Stupid mistake is to top in wonder and watch them begin to flit across the path in front of you. They generally send enough muscle to match your crimes.

The black wings can be killed in battle, but you dont have that kind of energy to waste.

But if you are given a guide, and you only are if you attempted with all your ability to right your life's wrongs, they will be a soul with enough muscle to fight back.

They will also have a life still, that allows them to visualize modern weapons into the transitional realm. Something neither the soul nor the black wings can. A 12ga pump imagined into the transition region, works very well. otherwise you will end up with a sword or something stupid imprinted to the region from the runners past.

Mistake of the guide are to try to follow along close to the soul and maintain communication as they attempt to fly out of the transitional gauntlet which is a darker band of reds and oranges shaped into a giant tube shape. They need to fly to a light or white region and leave and fly out of the transition arena a fast a possible. If you have no guide you may 'still take up the word of God' but running away very fast to the exit is best. They tell you not to fly to the light because they have evil spirits and wish you to get caught. There will be no lit green exit signs.

The wings will hang at the entrance and try to get behind you and also up above until the point the arena becomes more light, so they cant be seen. Your only communication with the soul should be to tell it to go as fast as it can and dont look back, while you clear the beasts that get close to it. If you have been called to this, once the soul escapes,its over. You go back and the wings must avoid you.

But be warned, even if you can manage to get there to guide, without being called, there will be far to many of them, because the soul made no effort to clear its wrongs. Then they will take you and the soul, and you will not return and your body in the physical world will die.

Write these things and keep them.
