you as a gift here should be a general good for everyone who lives in this
valley!‖
[GGJ.05_269,02] At this we rose and went a considerable distance up and
into the valley. There we came to a steep cliff which had a large crevice
about a good man‘s height from the ground, in which one could easily climb
over some fast fallen stones. We were then soon in the very spacious
crevice, behind which a great, grotto-like cave opened up.
[GGJ.05_269,03] And I now said to those who had come along, ―Look,
through this cave you can go very comfortably and fully without danger! Only
towards the end the cave will become a little bit narrower, but it is
nonetheless wide enough to be able to let an ox go through it. In the middle
of the cave path it will certainly be somewhat darker than here; but so much
light nonetheless comes in that every one of you will be able to notice the
places where he should put his foot.‖
[GGJ.05_269,04] We now wandered through the cave without any adversity,
and when we were at the end of it and came out into the open air, we saw a
very easy and fully safe slope, overgrown with sparse grass and moss, to the
plateau, which indeed looked very wild, but which was actually very good,
because it would only be crossed very seldom by some hikers and therefore
our inhabitants of the high village could come down into the deep valley all
the more unnoticed.
[GGJ.05_269,05] When Barnabe and all who were with him saw this, they fell
on their knees before Me and said, ―We thank You, oh Lord, from all the
depths of our hearts; for You have shown us an unspeakably great
benevolence in that You have shown us this new and safe path and You
have released us from the greatest torture which the previous terrible path
caused us!‖
[GGJ.05_269,06] I told them to rise and said to them, ―As I have now shown
you all here a new, safe and also more comfortable path to walk, thus I also
show you all a single true, good and safe path to eternal life!
[GGJ.05_269,07] This path I show you with only a very few words, and these
are: Be good and gentle in your hearts! Love God above all and each his
neighbor as himself; for the whole Law and all the prophets consist of this!
Then believe that I am He who was promised by God and prophesied about
by the prophets, and you will have opened the gate and the path to the
kingdom of God which has now come to you, just as another path was
opened and shown from this valley into the depths of the Earth!
[GGJ.05_269,08] It goes without saying that all the Laws of Moses are bound
together in the two commandments of love; for whoever loves God above all
else, will certainly avoid everything that is sinful and no longer sin against the
