The disciples said unto Jesus: "My Lord, teach us the apologies and the seals, that we may preserve our souls and the souls of our brethren from all these rulers."

2Jesus answered: "When ye depart from the body, say unto the rulers of the way of the midst: 'I am a vessel of the Light, and the seal of the First Mystery is upon my forehead.'

3"'Give way before me, for I go unto the Kingdom of my Father.' And when the rulers hear this word, they will fall back in fear, and the gates of the heavens will be opened unto you."
