Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
master of speech! It is an easy thing for your talent of speech to make a bear
out of a wolf, as the saying was and is among us.
[GGJ.05_182,14] I have told you my dream that I really had very truly and
openly, and you have now an easy task to do with it whatever you wish. Do
you know, to make a prophet afterwards is truly not such a great art; for one
can as a good speaker use all the circumstances very finely and thus, as
they say, create an idea off the bat from the air, which in its own way does
not leave anything to be desired. Frivolous, shallow-thinking people equipped
with little experience would get stuck there and caught; yet the very cold,
calm common sense devoid of all passion and fear of a much-experienced
person needs more than just an excellent speech by a young and certainly
also very eminent, talented person.
[GGJ.05_182,15] To be honest, what you have said to me about my dream is
not at all to be rejected, and it is very much worth the effort to consider it
more deeply; but I will contradict you with something from my many
experiences and knowledge. If you can explain it to me in a satisfactory way
and means, then we will be able to soon become able to deal with one
another!‖
[GGJ.05_182,16] John said, ―Wait, friend, in order to convince you some
more of the inner spiritual life-force of the soul in the human body, I will now
tell you in minute detail, taking it from out of your soul, what you just wanted
to tell me as a contradiction to the claim I made to you and as an, in your
opinion, hard-to-crack explanation of your vision! For every untrue word you
can quite cheekily give me a slap around the ears!‖
[GGJ.05_182,17] Hiram says, Then tell us! Truly, I would be highly curious,
however without the slap around the ears that you suggest for incorrectness;
for all such justifications and chastisements are foreign to us and have never
been ours, except in cases of the most urgent defense! Tell me therefore with
a very good and cheerful mood what you know about my secret experiences
and adventures!‖
Chapter 183
[GGJ.05_183,01] John says, ―Well, so hear me patiently! You see, you, as
yourself a bit of a magician, like all your companions, undertook a journey a
few years ago, before you had become acquainted with the pharmacist
Aziona in Greece. You went to Egypt with a sorceress called Klia, at which
opportunity you found only a very weak reward because of the too great
shallowness of the magical arts of you and your helper!
