ABOUT TRUE WISDOM AND THE APPARENT WISDOM OF THE SUN-SAGES. THE LAW OF INCEST AMONG THE SUN-DWELLERS, A TRICK OF SATAN'S. THE PURPOSE OF THE LORD'S COMING.
The whole party now begins to move, and we proceed slowly.
2
(While on the way, the three sun-daughters ask Me): "Good and wisest Lord, Master and Father of your children, why are your two sweet daughters so quiet and do not ask you any questions? Is it because they already know everything and possess great wisdom? Our great sages, too, speak very little, but when they do, one word from them weighs more than ten thousand words from us! This is probably the case with your two very sweet daughters."
3
(Say I): "Yes, you are almost right. However, there is a difference. These two already possess in abundance what your top sages in their most profound mysticism only just suspect, but would scarcely dare to express.
4
For the type of wisdom your sages possess is not real wisdom. It is a sort of secretiveness that does not lead to any knowledge I could truly approve of. On the contrary, some of the laws of your sages are such that would make you quite unsuitable for My Kingdom.
5
You, of course, do not commit a sin if you strictly observe what your laws demand. However, these have already deviated from the original laws and are now as distant from them as heaven is from this world. You still have your original shape and a mighty will, but your so-called principal sages are generally not much good now, although there are a few communities that have still remained faithful to their original laws. And so these two sisters here are very much wiser than your greatest sages.
6
For they are full of love, and during their lives on earth they did not have sexual intercourse with their brothers and fathers, which they considered a major sin and for which I punish severely without mercy in eternity. The earth-dwellers say: 'Cursed be the one who commits incest!' But with you, incest is a law given by your sages. See what great mistakes they make? Therefore, they are not as wise as they think, and the reason for My coming to you is to show them their great absurdity."
7
(Say the three): "Sublime Lord and Master of your children, are you also a lord over our sages and our vast, magnificent world, that you want to give us different laws?"
8
(Say I): "Yes, My daughters who are still undefiled by incest, Satan has found a way also into this pure world, and has already corrupted many communities. Therefore, I, as the Lord also over this world, have to come Myself to sweep clean its soiled ground. Otherwise, all of you would soon lose your original nobility and, with it, the eternal life of the spirit, the chances for which have already become very weak in many of your communities. If Satan wants to catch a man, he does it by means of a certain arrogance of wisdom and then through unchastity. His designs with you have been extremely clever, but I assure you, nothing can escape My eye!
9
All of you, including your sages, have become very sick; and this is the case in many of your large communities. Your procreation, which originally was purely spiritual, has now become grossly material; it has become an abomination.
10
Among My children on the earth, which you call the 'Sacred Planet,' incest is considered the most wicked crime, and before Me it is the most terrible, so much so that I want one who commits incest punished irrevocably and without mercy, with temporal and eternal death through fire. And this terrible, purely satanic vice has become a law in your world!
11
Do you imagine that I, as the primordial source of all existence and the very essence of order, can condone such a law? That is why I now come to you - to save you or to pass judgment forever. No wonder your spirits exclaimed that the Most Terrible was among this party! However, they were not good spirits, but spirits led astray by Satan himself. I am not the Terrible, but only Love to the innocent. However, to those who have My Word and My Law, yet ignore it, I am the Eternal Judgment!"
