Angels can't die yet I imagine it. A psychiatrist at that place once told me it was a projection. Like with movies. Light passes through the film and it gets bigger on the screen. I guess he was saying thought and faith have that kind of power. But he had no fucking idea who he was dealing with.
In the excerpt from Ellen Datlow's "The Best Horror of the Year Volume 3," the speaker reflects on the concept of angels and mortality, expressing a paradoxical idea that while angels are deemed immortal, the speaker can still envision their demise. This thought provokes a deeper exploration of the power of imagination and belief, likening it to the projection of images on a screen, as explained by a psychiatrist. It suggests that thoughts and faith can manifest in profound ways.
However, the speaker feels that the psychiatrist's insight is superficial, indicating a disconnect between the professional's understanding and the speaker's true nature or experiences. The frustration implies that the nuances of personal belief and perception may be beyond conventional psychological interpretations, highlighting the complexities of the human psyche when it comes to faith and the supernatural.
