While worshipping, I saw a path in what looked like a village setting with trees like bushes on both sides of the path. Then I saw soldiers, well-dressed as though they were going somewhere. I went ahead to see where they were going. Ahead of them was a mountain on which they were supposed to assemble for something. Just at the foot of the mountain were stones, very finely rounded stones. The stones looked like they were from a water body, like a river. They were arranged in seven rows, and they were on fire. Each row was on fire with blueish flames.
I noticed that as the soldiers journeyed through, even before they got half-way, they began to fall by the way; they began to faint. And I realized that many of them had not carried enough water and enough bread for the journey, so a lot of them became very faint. Some soldiers started asking their fellow soldiers for bread and water, but their fellow soldiers told them that it was not possible to give them what they had, because the ration they had was just enough for the journey, and they didn’t know how long the journey would be.
So, as the soldiers approached the mountain, I noticed that things started coming out from the bushes. I saw beautiful women making hissing sounds (like the sounds used to draw someone’s attention). They were calling some of the soldiers.
At first, the soldiers were not hearing them because their helmets were on, but when the sun became very hot, suddenly, some soldiers started removing their helmets. Then they began to hear the calling signs from these women that appeared from the bushes, and they responded to them.
As the others continued the journey, they saw coins along the way. I also saw a merchant, on whose hands were different rings. The rings had studs of diamond, emerald, and stones of different colors. The merchant picked up a coin and began tossing the coin up and down. He asked some of the soldiers if they were interested. In an attempt to get money to buy more bread and water, some soldiers went back to get coins, and all of them that went back did not return.
Then I saw what looked like a person creating an artificial throne. It was beautiful, but one could tell that it was not the real thing — it’s not the real throne, not the real authority. The person called out to the soldiers, “Come and sit, and I’ll give you as many things as you desire in your heart,” and some of the soldiers went that way.
The other soldiers continued the journey, and some kept falling by the wayside before reaching the fiery stones. Then I heard that in the coming year, there’ll be much baptism of fire for many. I heard, “I will push you till you bring out oil. I’ll push you with events that will either make you become purer and produce fruits, or will break you.” Then I heard, “The time for pampering is over! I will treat you as someone who will be a lead General, not as one of the soldiers; get ready.”
As they approached the fiery stones, the blue flames began to rise. When people saw it, their hearts fainted. They felt that when they entered the fire, it would completely burn them. It was only a few, very few, that had the boldness to step on the fiery stones.
But as they stepped on the fiery stones, I noticed even amongst the bold ones, some things like coins and other strange items on them started falling out. I saw a throng of people standing by the way; they refused to step into the fire. They were saying things like, “Ah, this is not what we bargained for! I thought we would just climb the mountain. I thought that what we have been through, what we have learnt, is enough for us to climb the mountain. So, why still put stones of fire? Is it that you just take delight in troubling us? You take delight in suffering, in giving us so much suffering?“
While they were complaining, they failed to note that the people walking on the fiery stones were not getting burnt, but rather things were falling off them. I noticed as the people in the fire were almost approaching the mountain, (that is, stepping on the last set of stones), they became extremely pure. Their hair — some of them had rough hair which may have been due to the journey — everything began to change. It happened so suddenly. Their armour was polished, their palms became so transparent and pure that you could see through them, their eyes were set on fire, and fire was coming out from their tongues. When they uttered things, it was as if fire was coming out, and you would hear thunderings and waves roaring.
As they approached and began climbing the mountain, certain things were given to them. They had in their left hand a scroll, on their right hand a sword, and then on their back, a huge shield appeared. They were changed into what I would liken to archangels, because they were too glorious to be just normal human soldiers or generals, and they kept approaching.
As they climbed, a particular part of the mountain was so steep that one could not climb it with one’s hands like any normal mountain. One needed wings to go up from that part. Suddenly, from in between the shield and the amour at the the back, wings came out! The wings were made of gold, and the soldiers flew up with them.
Most of those who remained just before the stones of fire, complaining and being unhappy, didn’t even notice anything was happening. Only a few noticed, and I don’t know how they did. I don’t know what made them look up, but they saw the soldiers flying up the mountains. Those who saw this ran suddenly into the fire. As they entered, there was a path. A chasm (a space) appeared at the junction of the path and the fiery stones. This chasm separated everything so that the soldiers who were still standing along the path complaining began to see the fiery stones as being very far off. Those of them who ran into the fire were also changed, like the first batch of soldiers that did.
