I lay quiet for a time, then
“Bab” returned. Not instantly did I recognize the
imposter, but I did realize that I was not one with
this one. I remained unmoved; then came gleaming
teeth. It seemed something animal-man, head rounded
at top like that of a cat. I did not see the eyes. I
was as self-possessed as I would have been with
Hansi. On my recognition and lack of fear it
disappeared.
P.M.
Smoked opium this evening at
Morsel; to my room at 10:15.
Later
Textla. The meaning of this
word fully described to me, yet I can recall the
name only.
Also I was shown the “strength,
force, vigour” of the direct line from the
individual to God—no intermediaries.
