However how will I baptize you on the beach? Then the angel of Life said to him, When the stream of the Jordan returns to his bed, I will go with you, and you will baptize me and you will pronounce on me the name which your mouth celebrates.
When the water had returned to its place, John and the angel of Life advanced into the river. But at the same time, attracted by the splendor which radiated around him, the fish of the river and the birds on both banks celebrated in these terms the angel of Life: Hello to you, angel of Life, blessed be the stay where you come from, and blessed be the place you are going to!
And John, hearing the voice of fish and birds on both banks, recognized that it was the angel of Life who had come to him, and he said to him: Ah! you are the one in whose name I baptize?
He replied, In whose name are you baptizing? And John said unto him, Has a name which has been revealed unto me; in the name of Mano Semir name which will later be revealed to many others.
Put on me the hand of justice and the right hand which gives salvation, and pronounce on me the name of the plant which you sowed in your name, so that in your name, the first as the last creatures be confirmed.
The Angel of Life answered him: If I lay hands on you, you would die. And John said to him, I have seen you, I have had enough; I saw you, that’s enough for me. I ask you the truth; I want you to distinguish me from you and the place where you come from, but also that you introduce me to the living room where you are going. Shape my heart, have mercy on me and reveal to me the mysteries of kings; tell me about Fercho, the Lord of Light, tell me what are the orbs and Ferchos of the earth, what is the hierarchy that exists between them and the geniuses of water; how living fire sparkles in the middle of water, why Life makes it its home; finally let me know which is the oldest and which is the largest.
At these words, the angel of Life himself removed the cloak with which John was covered, and after having thrown his own garment in the Jordan, garment of flesh and blood, he clothed the prophet with a stole of splendor; he put on her head a very pure tiara of light. Then the angel of Life went to the living room of splendor, to the region of light, and John left with him.
Now, when John saw the fish of the river and the birds of the sky around him on both sides, he was afraid, and had some regret at having come.
This is why the angel of Life said to him, Why do you fear for your flesh and your blood, from which I am stripped? do you want me to return this mortal body to you John answered him; Glory and honor to the man who stripped me of my envelope of flesh and blood; glory, praise, honor to him who clothed me in the stole of splendor, who covered me with a pure cloak of light.
But I am grieved for the children I have left, because who will support them after me? The angel of Life said to him, The same regret that you experience, your children will also experience it. John said to him, You see in the bottom of your heart, you judge in the interior of souls. The heart, the entrails, the veins, everything is as clear to you as the sun. know even the substance of the hair, you who trained it. Your eyes penetrate the light like darkness. Then the angel of Life, revealing to him the mysteries of water, took some in his hand, mixed sand with it from the shore and anointed John’s body with it; after which he resumed the path of the abode of light and splendor; always accompanied by Jean.
When Fetah-hai, deprived of its splendor, stripped of its light and relegated by life in solitude, when, I say, Fetah-hai saw the travelers approaching his prison, he descended from his throne, and raising the voice to bless them, he said to the angel Life: Glory to you! angel of Life, happy the place where you come blessed the place where you go! Let me also find with Sovereign Life. Alas! it repels me and does not allow me to go up to it.
The angel of Life then said to John: I entered into communication with this genius that life favors. He therefore owes him:
You were like a special man, I raised you to the rank of kings! And then he gave him his orders. Then John said to Fetah-hai: Life favors you, you and the genius, your father; and it is by his order that you are here. Then the angel of Life, taking his course towards the living room of splendor and light, arrived at the abode of Abatur.
As soon as he saw him, Abatur descended from his throne, raised by the hand of a thousand thousand geniuses and myriads of myriads of Aeons. As the angel of Life urged him to ascend to his sublime throne, Abatur asked him to speak about him when he returned to Life.
The angel of Life answered him: As soon as I have fulfilled my commission with Life, the sons of peace will come and raise your throne.
Yes, he added, as soon as I have answered your prayer, two angels will come to you from the sky, who will speak of you to sovereign life and will teach you that the angel of life has come to you. and revealed to you the mysteries of the truth.
However, the angel of Life, always accompanied by John, was advancing towards the living room of light, when four men, all children of Life, namely: Aïn, Haï, Schum-haiï, Ziv-haï and Nehur-haï , approached them, and, taking John by the hand, placed him in the living room of splendor and glory. They said to themselves: Come, let us see the man who comes from the world, the just, the Faithful, who has not allowed himself to be drawn into the midst of bad examples, and under the empire of Abatur.
Let us clothe it with splendor, cover it with light. Then shaking their bright robe on him, they surrounded him with the fire of life, of infinite and ineffable fire. In this state of splendor and glory, John exclaimed: I beg you, o First life, Second life, Third life. Iufin Iufafin, Sam Mano Semiro, eternal vine, evergreen tree, Uzar and Fetah-hated, you who have the secrets of Life, who take care of the plants of Life, which are the cornerstone of the Palace of Life, i beg you by the feelings which animate me for you, by this wealthy hour where I am, by this stay where you have raised me, that all the just and faithful men who have been marked with the sign of Life, who have received the baptism of purity, on which the name of the sovereign and first Life was pronounced, that all these men, I say, go up and come to share my lot! Glory to Life! She is pure in all her works, as well as the man who has been towards her. Amen
