John came forward and said: "My Lord, how then are the souls of the righteous guided through the spheres of the rulers when they leave the body?"
2Jesus answered: "When a righteous soul that hath received the mysteries of the Light departeth from the body, it becometh a stream of light and soareth into the height.
3"And when the rulers of the spheres see it, they are terrified by the splendor of its light and they cannot approach unto it.
4"And the soul giveth unto them the seals and the passwords of the mysteries, and the gates are opened before it, and it passeth through all the spaces unto the Kingdom of the Light."
