Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_180,02] Aziona says, ―But Hiram did not only see the light alone,
but instead also the matter of the shapes as they are here! With which eyes
did he see these?‖
[GGJ.05_180,03] John says, ―When we arrived today about three hours ago,
you and another number of your neighbors were present; only Hiram was not
there. When midday came, everyone hurried into these huts for the sake of a
scant midday meal; only you remained to look after us. If Hiram had been
among those who had received us here with you, you would have seen
earlier how at times one can also see and perceive material forms with the
spiritual eyes of the soul. But now that must be shown to you little by little; for
it now depends on the old saying that Rome was not built in a day.‖
[GGJ.05_180,04] Aziona asks, ―Yes, dear, wisest friend, but why would I
have seen that earlier if Hiram had also been present at your arrival?‖
[GGJ.05_180,05] John says, ―Yes, you know, all that has its own very wisest
ways! Hiram would have immediately recognized us as those whom he had
seen in his dream of light, and then our conversation would certainly have
immediately gone in another direction, and we would then obviously have got
to talk about this point earlier. But now we have only come upon it later, and
so for quite natural reasons you can also only get behind this secret only
later!‖
[GGJ.05_180,06] Aziona says, ―Yes, that is certainly something quite
natural; for everything in the world is so! The later one begins a task that
demands a particular time period, the later one is finished with it!‖
[GGJ.05_180,07] John says, ―But there is another reason here that you
cannot see so quickly yet; but with time however you will then see it clearly,
only you have to above all acquire a little more patience! For only with
patience can one finally conquer the whole world inside and outside of one‘s
being.‖
[GGJ.05_180,08] Aziona says, ―Patience, truly is not my weak point – for
there was always a great lack of it; but if it must be so, then I can also be
patient!‖
[GGJ.05_180,09] John says, ―You actually wanted to say that patience is not
your strong side, but really only a very weak side for you, which soon and
easily gives way, - isn‘t that true, my friend Aziona?‖
[GGJ.05_180,10] Aziona says, ―You don‘t need to seek appropriate
knowledge of the language among us; for we speak only according to the
only speech customs, and that is, as far as meaning is concerned, almost
everywhere somewhat different. But because you have just spoken to us
