mountain peak would be deeply covered by them. – A garment will certainly
never be able to be pinned together by the great and proud mountain tops!
[GGJ.05_174,15] This comparison is indeed somewhat extreme; but it
nonetheless describes the relationship of an intellect which thinks itself to be
high and wise above everything and that of a humble one, which seems quite
unassuming before the eyes of the highly wise and prudent humanity. But
while the high intellect stares far into the air and is surrounded equally thickly
by mists of its purest view, the humble intellect performs immediately good
things and becomes brighter and finer after every task and more serviceable
for the future. Among you, as it seems to me, intellect seems to have a great
resemblance with the highest mountain peaks, which are only very seldom
free of clouds, and therefore it should be somewhat difficult for you to test the
full truth of this exactly, of which you should accept one truth as the full and
undoubted truth! – Of which opinion are you?‖

[GGJ.05_175,01] Says Aziona: ―Well, that would then depend on whether it
was fully dependent on my will or not! Certainly we do not easily accept
something if we have not seen some striking effects of it beforehand. Now,
there is by no means a lack of visible effects for the reasons that I have
given; my food larder is full of edibles, and now here the wine from the purest
water! That would be, as one says, very prettily tangible proof of it! But now it
only depends on knowing clearly whether you then do not possess some
very secret specifics, through the addition of even a very small amount of
which all pure water must become wine! It will probably not be the case here;
but one cannot totally resist such a thought at the observance of this pure
miracle; but as long as one cannot do that, the total certainty is just as much
nothing as the effect of this full faith well described by you! And therefore I
see in advance only too well that all we inhabitants of this place will never be
able to create the taste of wine in even a drop of water!
[GGJ.05_175,02] We are indeed situated here as miserably as possible – our
food consists only of goat milk, fish and water; for nothing else is available in
this complete desert – but we are satisfied with this in our very purest natural
condition. This does not exclude the experiences which we have made many
times in other places. We went far and wide across all the world; for we were
singers and magicians, and I learnt the art of apothecary in Athens, to
prepare certain secret specifics, with which one was able to perform a
number of miracles for the many lay people.
[GGJ.05_175,03] Short and sweet, I am, as simple as I may appear here
now, equipped with a large amount of all sorts of knowledge and
experiences! I know the herbs of life of the king snake and know the miracle
