[2] Now I asked Phoikas to tell about it, and at once he began as follows: “Lord and Master, what I saw was wonder upon wonder and completely different than how men imagine the life in the beyond. [3] The angel that You appointed to me, led me into his sphere which is a complete world in itself over which he himself is also the ruler and rules completely like a little king. I was taken by him in my soul without having the feeling whatsoever that I was missing my body, for my heavy body could certainly not have undertaken such trip. I know therefore also for sure that the body is only a heavy and often very clumsy garment that is given to the soul as protection so that he can develop himself in it in the right manner. However, it (the body) does not stand in the life itself but actually entirely out of it because it is dead in itself. [4] The angel spirit led me away to a solar system that was completely unknown to me, where also planets were orbiting around a sun, just like here, and he showed me very clearly that the right care for this region was entrusted to him, for everything obeyed very precisely to his word. By that, all power flowed into him, solely by merging his will with Yours that he recognized as the only true and right one by which he thus had no trouble to submit to the higher will and to execute it. All the wonderful sorts of animals and plants that I saw were his thoughts. After they were in a certain way examined by You and determined that they were true images of Your basic thought, he placed them outside of himself and fixed them by holding the thoughts fast in himself and gave them a material form. So something was created. [5] I saw for instance how the angel formed a new planet in himself that has to serve as a habitation for future people. He showed me how that thought is developed – just like when an artist forms an image in himself and imagines it in all details. But since he strives to only express what is also just and right according to You, he united himself in his heart with You, the all ruling Father of eternity, and presented in a certain way his plan to You. You said to him, although not in words but in the spirit: ‘It is good and just according to Me, do it so.’ And immediately the spirit of the angel in him was moving, he filled himself with great willpower, and on the sun, that was under his authority, there was a roaring and a ball – the future planet – that detached itself from it. It was thrown away and joined in orbits that corresponded exactly to the image that I saw before. [6] In this creation with You and also in You, he experiences the greatest possible bliss, for only by this, every angel spirit can be like You a Creator and become more perfected. [7] Although it is not given to us to feel even one atom of that bliss, for we would not be able to bear it, I nevertheless re eived a clear image now that it is only in activity – in You and outside of You, in the unifying chain of the highest blazing love for You and by that also for Your creatures – that the bliss can be found and felt, but not by doing nothing or by inactively admiring the creation. If we only would stare at the creation and would not try to understand it through activities, Your greatness, o Lord, would pull us down instead of making our progress possible. [8] I will therefore make effort with all my might to find the right unifying link of the chain by the full love for You, o Lord, and for my fellowman, so that also I may once be capable to be active in Your Kingdom like that angel spirit, because that good heavenly friend explained very clearly to me that this is possible and that each one of Your creatures can do this, so that I well understood it and I will thus never more give up that goal that can be reached. (GGJ Book 25, chap. 37)
