Now understand, when we are in a standard box-shaped room, like a kitchen or a regular room, it has eight corners. And I sit in the seventh — actually, the eighth corner. And from where I’m sitting, I see three corners on my level. And above me, four more — seven corners. And the Spirit shows me this and says, this is why there are seven lamps — because you are the eighth corner. And then everything is distributed like this, unfolding into seven — seven corners. I then start looking for images and engravings that relate more to the Revelation of John the Theologian, the “Apocalypse,” because that’s where most of the references point. And there’s Dürer’s engraving, and some other illustrations, depicting one of the scenes from the Revelation of John — the one with the One seated on the throne and everything. And it shows that his head also looks like a flame, and the lamps, like candles, are also flames — and he is the eighth. For me, it was a moment of shock from insight, such a revelation, “Ah, that’s why it’s seven — because he is the eighth.” And further, why — what I come to is that in the Revelation of John the Theologian, it also describes — don’t nitpick the wording, I don’t remember it exactly, it’s not like I’m giving a formal lecture with all this written out — but somewhere there in the Bible, in Revelation, in the “Apocalypse,” there’s a mention of a city whose height, width, and length are all equal — some kind of holy place. And there is also mention of the Throne of God. And when I start looking for this everywhere, in all the ancient scriptures, I come to the conclusion that it is, after all, a cube. That’s how I come to the cube. And that’s exactly why I sat down on the floor in the corner of the room — I am in the eighth corner, and the seven are in front of me — and it’s all a cube. That’s what is encoded: it’s all a cube, and that’s very important. And these corners — you’re the one sitting in the eighth corner, and the corners around you are the seven lamps, the seven corners. I find this cube, and then I also find mentions — there are many — also in Revelation of John the Theologian, in chapter four, I think, and chapter twenty-one, about the New Jerusalem, and about the One seated, and how around the throne and in the midst of the throne are four living creatures, and about the twenty-four elders, and three gates on each side. I’ve been trying to decode all of this since childhood. And then, as I continue searching for similar things, I find the scripture of Ezekiel, where he speaks about how he saw a fiery chariot, that there were four cherubim, that their upper wings touch each other, the lower wings cover the body,
