What I wanted to tell you at the beginning is this.
Today you were asking me how I had been able to find out the names of Hillel, Gamaliel and of Shammai.
It is the voice that I call «the second voice» which tells me these things. A voice even less audible than Jesus’ and the voices of other people who dictate. These are voices, I have told you and I repeat it, which my spiritual hearing perceives as being identical to human voices. I hear them as kind or angry voices, strong or weak, joyful or sad, as if one spoke very close to me. The «second voice», instead, is like a light, an intuition that speaks in my spirit. «In» not «to» my spirit. It is an indication.
So, while I was approaching the group of the disputant parties and I did not know who was the illustrious personage who was disputing so heatedly beside an old man, this internal ‘something’ said to me: ‘Gamaliel – Hillel’. Yes. First Gamaliel and then Hillel. I have no doubt about it. While I was wondering who they were, the internal monitor pointed out the third unpleasant individual to me, just as Gamaliel was calling him by name. And I was thus able to learn who was the man with the pharisaic appearance.
