caught and consumed.
[GGJ.05_230,07] Whoever follows this will also reap what has now been
shown to you most clearly and eternally keep it in constant increase. Now tell
Me, My dear Epiphan, how you have understood and taken this in!‖
Chapter 231
[GGJ.05_231,01] Says Epiphan: ―Great Lord and Master! Great was Your
previous miracle for our physical best – but even greater is Your wisdom in
this teaching given to us; for it proves to us Your divinity an incomparable
amount more intensively. You showed us indeed unmistakably with the
miracle that You must be filled with the strength and power of God, otherwise
such a deed would have been impossible for You; but with this lesson You
have shown us that You are directly the One whose thoughts and ideas form
the certain established firm counter-pole!
[GGJ.05_231,02] I and surely also Aziona and Hiram have now understood
very well what You, oh Lord, have said to us about our certainly very

[GGJ.05_231,03] Look, great Lord and Master! We now know what man has

[GGJ.05_231,04] Those who were before us have certainly known nothing
about this teaching and lived according to their material desires. What can
their other-worldly fate be other than the sad capture from the side of Your
counter-pole? Who will, whoever can free himself from it, and when? What
do the many people tell in general, who, because they originally were more
spiritual, have also more easily turned towards the purely spiritual and thus
after the casual laying aside of this material body have gone over to Your
main pole very easily and unhindered? If I count up all those according to the
books in which the pious and purely spiritual great people are described, I
hardly reach the sum of a hundred thousand! But what is that is comparison
with the number of those who have been consumed by the counter-pole for
an unthinkably long time? There I ask nonetheless every only somewhat
