- In the place where I arrived,
seated around a long table, there were some men who were praying, under
the guidance of He whom they called "Master" : a majestic figure which
stood out amongst them, with a beard, long hair, and an
inscrutable face.
For me, there wasn't a place around the table,
however, I saw an inviting stone on the ground and there I sat down,
right in front of He, who was the Lord Jesus
.
(1)
Everyone began to pray and I also
participated in their prayers. At a certain point, the Master looked at
me, bowed His head towards the table before me, He opened something that
was similar to a register, then He wrote three things in three different
spaces, raising every time, His gaze towards me. The men closer to Him
and also all those who had their backs towards me, turned around
together and looked at me radiantly, full of joy, and exclaiming, they
said to me : " He has accepted you! He has accepted you! He has written
you in all the three spaces of the register. "
I was full of joy,
happy, even though I didn't understand profoundly and completely the
meaning of all that was happening to me. Then the Master handed to me
with His right hand, a kind of writing-pad and said to me:
" Now you
read."
I understood that I had to read, really me, by myself. I took
the writing-pad shyly, fearing that I couldn't know how to satisfy the
Master. It was a hard and difficult moment for me. I began to read the
first page, but my reading wasn't fluent because I didn't understand
well. The Master insisted however, until I read better, and so I
recommenced from the beginning and read correctly.
All of a sudden I
found in my hand, something like a small blue-shining board on
which there weren't written words, but square signs in relief,
unknown to me, like engraved on the surface itself. These signs I could
see with my own eyes and feel with my finger tips, but I couldn't
decipher them or none the less read them.
Therefore I stopped not
knowing how to go ahead; I felt regret for not knowing how to bring
about the conclusion that the Master had asked of me. But, some of
the first men, turned to me and said: " We will help you, be at
peace."

It was only after seven months
that, with amazement, I saw again those characters  on a table of ancient alphabets in an encyclopeadia which had
recently been acquired at home : 
characters corresponding, as from the document reproduced
here, to the letters , among the southern semitic characters :
"He" and
"Heth" .
I
discovered then, thanks to the research of my wife, that they
specifically indicated two verses of Psalm 119 (118), from the
Holy Bible.
The only Psalm of its nature, in which, in a constant
tension of love and fear, the servant of the Lord asks and obtains that
God reveals His teachings to him directly, in the deepness of his
heart.
That Psalm so became my fervent and constant
prayer. |
