The Mushaf as-suwar – 5th Book Book about the Magnesia

He said: "I will illustrate the two of us in several different pictures, not just one, in this book of mine. In it I want to give you what is your right, at every level of this work until I reach its end. So know what you asked me about. Ask me what you want, as long as my picture is appropriate to your picture."
She said: "Do you want my picture to separate from your picture?"
He said: "Yes, my picture must separate from your picture."
She said: "Of whom will I ask questions then?"
He said: "You will ask my spirit."
She said: "Will the spirit be appropriate to me?"
He said: "No, it will not be appropriate, but from my spirit colours will appear that your eyes have never seen before."
She said: "How will I ask questions of your spirit, O Zosimos, once it has separated from your body? You are burdening me and taking me to the difficult things which I complained to you were too obscure for me in my ignorance. Has anybody before me seen a spirit which the onlooker imagines separate from its body?"
He said: "Yes indeed. If my spirit separates from my body, it must conceal itself in your spirit and be appropriate to you.  So accept this statement of mine. Know that your spirit will talk with my spirit, and it [your spirit] will know what it asks it [my spirit] about. At this time you will see the miracles of the exalted God's wisdom."
