I thought that I was right and fell asleep again. And I saw the same altar in the shape of a bowl and water bubbled at the top of it, and in it were many people endlessly. And there was no one whom I might question outside of the bowl. And I went up to the altar to view the spectacle. I answered that I wondered at the boiling water and the men who were burning but remained alive.
Men wishing to obtain virtue enter here and, fleeing the body, become spirits.
As he was saying these things to me and the boiling increased and the people wailed, I saw a copper man holding a lead tablet in his hand. To him was given authority over the water and over those men in mortification. And I found that I understood well. And I said that it was good to speak and good to hear and good to give and good to receive and good to be poor and good to be rich. For all things are woven together and all things are taken apart and all things are mingled and all things combined and all things mixed and all things separated and all things are moistened and all things are dried and all things bud and all things blossom in the altar shaped like a bowl.
