But it is a الكهنة light, not us, for we know that there are some who receive it, and who are of our order. So we should know that there are some creatures after long life, and of whom we know nothing. But even so, there are some who are so clear in their understanding that they can see clearly what we see. And even so, there are some who are so clear in their understanding that they can see clearly what we see.
