Zorel's insight into the Creation.
After I explained such to Cyrenius, Zorel, who all the time was lying there motionless like dead, started to move and became the appearance of someone who was transfigured, to such an extend that even the present Roman soldiers were placed in great reverence by his appearance and one of them said: "This person looks like a sleeping God!"
2
Cyrenius also said: "Truly, an undescribable elated human picture!"
3
Finally Zorel opened his mouth and said: "Thus he is standing perfected in his wisdom before God, who only now recognises, loves and adores Him!" After this there was a pause.
4
After the pause Zorel continues speaking and says: "My whole being is light, and I see no shadow, neither in me nor outside me; since also around me everything is light. In this all-light, however, I see a holy light of all holiest lights; it shines like a mighty sun, and in it is the Lord!
5
Previously I thought that my friend and guide is a human soul just like we are; it is just that in my previous state there was still a lot of deception in me. Only now I recognise the Guide! He is not with me anymore, but in the sun I see Him, who is holy above holy! Endless crowds of the most perfect light-spirits are gliding around this sun in all directions and in smaller and wider circles. What infinite majesty! O humans! To see God and to love Him above all is the highest joy and the highest bliss!
6
But now I do not only see all heavens, but my view is also penetrating into the creation of the only almighty God. I can see this our meagre earth through and through and see all islands and main lands of the whole earth. I see the bottom of the seas and everything that exists below it, all the many creatures in the sea from the smallest to the largest. Which infinitive variety lives among them!
7
I can also see how the gras is build by all kinds of small spirits, which are quite joyfully and hardworking. I see how the will of the Almighty obliges them to be hardworking, and see the precisely defined objectives and work of each of the countless many spirits. Like the bees working on their wax cells, these little spirits work on and in the trees, bushes, grasses and plants. However, they all doing this if seized and penetrated by the will of Him, who was my Friend and Guide on the narrow and thorny road of my self-trials of life up to here and now resides in this never reachable sun which is His primordial light from where His will reaches into all infinity.
8
Yes, He is the only Lord, noone is equal to Him! Big and small must follow His will. Nothing exists in the whole of infinity, that could oppose Him. His power is above all and His wisdom can never be understood. Everything that exists is from Him, and there exists nothing in infinitive space of His creation, which has not arisen out of Him.
9
I see the forces coming from Him like the rays of the rising sun in the morning, penetrating all direction with lightening speed, and where the rays reaches something, it starts to stir, to become alive and to move, and soon new forms and shapes arise. However, the form of humans is the boundary- and end marker and its forms is a real form of heaven; since the whole heaven, which boundaries are only known to God, is also a person and each society of the angels is also a perfect human.
10
This is a great secret of God, and who does not stand on the spot where I am standing now, for him it is impossible to understand and comprehend such; since only the purest spirit out of God in man can comprehend and understand and see what the spirit is and what there is in him and outside him, and how it originates and remains, and why and what for! Nothing exists in the whole of infinity which would not be there for man; everything is aimed at man and his always and everywhere needs."
