(3) And close to me approached, even as before, The very same who had entreated me, Attent to listen in their countenance. I, who their inclination twice had seen, Began: "O souls secure in the possession, Whene'er it may be, of a state of peace, Neither unripe nor ripened have remained My members upon earth, but here are with me With their own blood and their articulations. I go up here to be no longer blind; A Lady is above, who wins this grace, Whereby the mortal through your world I bring. But as your greatest longing satisfied May soon become, so that the Heaven may house you Which full of love is, and most amply spreads, Tell me, that I again in books may write it, Who are you, and what is that multitude Which goes upon its way behind your backs?" Not otherwise with wonder is bewildered The mountaineer, and staring round is dumb, When rough and rustic to the town he goes, Than every shade became in its appearance; But when they of their stupor were disburdened, Which in high hearts is quickly quieted,

(39) By this song I invite or cite the Reader into the other life; there he himself will also be of that choir or chorus, and then first will he give credit to this spirit. What he does not understand here, that he will there behold [for himself].

(6) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;

(4) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;

(6) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;

(5) But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

(92) 'And now, my son Methuselah, call to me all thy brothers And gather together to me all the sons of thy mother; For the word calls me, And the spirit is poured out upon me, That I may show you everything That shall befall you for ever.'

(15) ¶When he had called the people unto him, with his disciples also, he said unto them,

(1) THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven,

(262) 327 To say: Disown not N., O god; for thou knowest him and he knows thee. 327 Disown not N., O god; for he knows thee. 327 To (thee) it is said: "The transitory." 328 Disown not N., O R`; for thou knowest him and he knows thee. 328 Disown not N., O R`; for he knows thee. 328 To thee it is said: "The Great (One) is altogether destroyed." 329 Disown not N., O Thot; for thou knowest him and he knows thee. 329 Disown not N., O Thot; for he knows thee. 329 To thee it is said: "He rests, the solitary." 330 Disown not N., O Horus, the pre-eminent (pointed); for thou knowest him and he knows thee. 330 Disown not N., O Horus, the pre-eminent (pointed); for he knows thee. 330 To thee it is said: "The unfortunate." 331 Disown not N., O thou who art in the D.t; for thou knowest him and he knows thee. 336. Disown not N., O thou who art in the D.t; for he knows thee. 331 To thee it is said: "The damaged." 332 Disown not N., O bull of heaven; for thou knowest him and he knows thee. 332 Disown not N., O bull of heaven; for he knows thee. 332 To thee it is said: "This n-star." 333 Behold, N. comes; behold, N. comes; behold, N. is ascended. 333 N. is not come of himself. 333 It is a messenger who is come to him; it is a divine word which will cause him to arise. 334 N. has passed by his broad-house; the fury of the great sea has avoided him. 334 His fare is not accepted in the great ship; 334 the palace of the Great cannot ward him off from the way of the d.w-stars. 335 Behold, therefore, N. has attained the heights of heaven. 335 He has seen his uraeus-serpent in the boat of the evening sun; it is N. who has journeyed in it. 335 He has recognized (his) uraeus-serpent in the boat of the morning sun, it is N. who has bailed it out. 336 The blessed dead (?) have witnessed to him; 336 the hail-storm of heaven has taken him away, it (lit. they cause) causes N. to approach to R`. 9. MEANS WHEREBY THE DECEASED KING REACHES HEAVEN,

(43) is [as follows]: O ye Conquerors and your Sons, abiding in the Ten Directions, O ye ocean-like Congregation of the All-Good Conquerors, the Peaceful and the Wrathful, O ye Gurus and Devas, and ye DakinTs, the Faithful Ones, Hearken now out of [your] great love and compassions: Obeisance, O ye assemblage of Gurus and DakinTs; Out of your great love, lead us along the Path.

(6) So from the lights that there to me appeared Upgathered through the cross a melody, Which rapt me, not distinguishing the hymn. Well was I ware it was of lofty laud, Because there came to me, "Arise and conquer!" As unto him who hears and comprehends not. So much enamoured I became therewith, That until then there was not anything That e'er had fettered me with such sweet bonds. Perhaps my word appears somewhat too bold, Postponing the delight of those fair eyes, Into which gazing my desire has rest; But who bethinks him that the living seals Of every beauty grow in power ascending, And that I there had not turned round to those, Can me excuse, if I myself accuse To excuse myself, and see that I speak truly: For here the holy joy is not disclosed, Because ascending it becomes more pure.

(3) Repeat thou these [verses] clearly, and remembering their significance as thou repeatest them, go forwards, [O nobly-born]. Thereby, whatever visions of awe or terror appear, recognition is certain; and forget not this vital secret art lying therein.
