Prologue

The judge fell asleep and, some three hours later, when he woke up rested and with his mind clear of the heaviness of the day, he established visual contact with a scene that he wasn’t familiar with. As if he was transferred to some other place, where he could see and hear everything that was happening. The kind of presence, where he could observe all the assistants in detail, whilst not physically there.

It was the first time something like that has happened, and so he found himself with fear. In the beginning, he kept a distance from people that he was watching and events that he was witnessing. But soon, he realized that this could only be a dream, and nothing could really happen, and so he got mixing with the assistants, observing everything from different positions. When they did not detect his presence, he finally decided that, effectively, this was a dream, and that he could learn something from things that he was seeing and hearing.

The First Dream

The judge fell asleep, and, some three hours later, when he woke up rested and with his mind clear of the heaviness of the day, he established visual contact with a scene that he was not familiar with. As if he was transferred to some other place, where he could see and hear everything that was happening. The kind of presence, where he could observe all the assistants in detail, while not physically there.

It was the first time something like that has happened, and so he found himself fearful. In the beginning, he kept a distance from the people that he was watching and events that he was witnessing. But soon, he realized that this could only be a dream, and nothing could really happen. So he got mixing with the assistants, observing everything from different locations of the room, and when they did not detect his presence, he finally decided that, effectively, this was a dream, and that he could learn something from things that he was seeing and hearing.

He had no idea how he found himself in a great hall, presided by the King himself. Someone who looked just like him was sitting beside the King. He was so surprised that he exclaimed out loud, ‘What a strange dream! I see myself!’ He knew that this reality was not physical, as well as that, in this dream, he continued being a judge. There were others just like him, also judges. As well as those who served as prosecution witnesses and those of the defense. There was also one who was presenting the case. He stated that the subject matter was the Elders of the Community. The one who seemed to be in charge, the current prosecutor, argued that they should be made to vanish, whilst the defense was saying that they were to be respected. And, in the end, he himself – or the one who looked like him – had to pass his JUDGEMENT, to state his opinion.

Once everything was over, the King, who was still present there – he was an observer, not a participant – made a decree upon this judgment. But all of this is better told in detail because it is important as the teachings then spread through some town.

For clarity, I must tell you here, in this first chapter, that the judge saw himself as a living being but, rather than made of physical matter, he was made of energy, which made him undetectable to others. But to himself, his senses were intact, and he could move from one place to another, not walking, like the physical body, but rather, thinking. Thoughts took him to where he wanted. It took a few attempts to learn to move this way because, usually, thinking bears no importance on the movement. So when what one thinks is suddenly fulfilled, one realizes the enormous capacity that a man has.

The judge, while the speech was taking place, moved from one place to another, passed between the characters, listening to their words and thoughts, finding many things out. He felt himself a part of that physical world but, at the same time, knew that it was all a dream. A dream that someone immensely powerful, someone Superior, has sent upon him. The very first thing he wanted to find out was who was it that sent him these moving pictures, and, to his amazement, he discovered that it was the HIGHEST himself.

This is what he saw. In a large rotunda-shaped room with pillars on the sides, some chairs along a large table were placed. There were five armchairs. It all looked like a tribunal hearing, where he himself was the judge. He arrived before the other people entered. He saw armed guards and understood that someone important – as he soon had confirmed – would be present. Well-dressed people began to come in, wearing what I would call luxurious cloaks and elegant hats covering their heads. And – as the case was – two characters that entered last, was the King, and another one, who looked like his Minister of Justice.

Those noble Lords sat down in their armchairs and gave way for those of lesser rank to enter. As they were entering, they were saluting and bowing their heads right from the boor. To the judge's astonishment, he saw himself among that group.

Naturally, he realized that none of this was reality, for he was still asleep. But, at the same time, he was in this room as if he were a spirit; present, seeing, and listening.

They all took turns to stand and speak in front of the King. The following was said.

The King had summoned them as the best among those who considered themselves judges, and thus – although he was only a Capital Judge, without even his own jurisdiction, and could only administer justice in the souk – he was called because he had gained fame.

To publicly acknowledge the arriving at a judgment, they would say a prayer. They would say the right thing; thus, it would be a permanent truth. This is how all verdicts were usually recognized as fair; an aspect that, in other cases, did not prevail as the verdicts tended to favor one over another.

The unfair verdicts, the ones that tended to favor that who had better financial means, or stronger arguments, or that who had prepared better evidence, the rulings were given in their favor. The one who was inferior or ignorant never had justice served in their favor, therefore, among the people – and especially among the merchants – it was said that justice belonged to the powerful. Except for one judge. There was the one who always did the right thing.

The King had learned of this and wanted to check if what he was hearing was true, so he said to himself – against the advice of his Minister of Justice, who attempted to distract him from the matter, as it could cause them harm – that he wanted to witness this man passing a judgment. So, he presented himself disguised as an observer and, once he decided that he liked what he saw, he arranged Judgements to Society to be passed. It seemed that they now had a judge who came from the Justice of the Spiritual World, and people would benefit from it. After some thought, he arranged and called a tribunal, to be presided over by this very special judge.

When all had said their greetings and introduced themselves, the King sent the Minister of Justice to speak. He explained that he wanted to know how justice was served among the people, and that, to assess the competences of the judges, he had arranged for judgments to be passed before the King, who would listen but not intervene.

He said they did not want justice to be based on opinion but, instead, on the right thing to do. He also established who had to serve as the Accuser – or the Prosecutor – and who had to serve as the Defense. As well as who had to act as prosecution witnesses, and those of the defense alike. And, the last of all, he appointed the Chief Judge, who was none other than the dreaming judge.

The man, who struggled to shake off his amazement, who never liked being held important, and who, at this very moment, was sitting in the very last of all the chairs – the place considered the most remote and the least relevant – upon hearing his name called for the position, got up, and tried to excuse himself:

”I thank you for the position, but having those superiors to me here, and considering that I am the least of all those present, I think you have made a mistake in the appointment,” the judge continued speaking slowly and in a voice for everyone to hear. The room was large. ”Tell me, how are they, who are more, are now to be less, are to submit to my judgment? Is my word going to have any weight? Especially with the grand charges to be defended or prosecuted, and they are well prepared, while I hardly have what it takes to conduct justice in the souk. Which, as you know, are simple matters and do not require significant preparation.”

He put his arguments forward and, just as the minister, who was in agreement with his explanation, was going to change things around, the King, who seemed to be the only one that was clearly determined to make it happen, intervened and said:

”Let us see how you do it, now that you are not in the souk, and how others handle being at your command rather than being those giving orders. Let the tribunal begin!”

Once this was settled, more chairs and tables were brought, and the tribunal was formed. Also, as the King wanted to keep a record – because he sensed that something important could come out of this – a court typist was called to put down on wax tablets what judgment will be passed, so that it can be either archived or applied, according to its value.

The judge – now that he was of such importance – asked for the subject matter that he will be required to rule on. He was advised on it and, rising to the power that the King himself awarded him, he ordered for the debate to be opened. But, as no one had the King's intentions communicated to them in advance, he arranged that they all have time until after lunch to think, to put their arguments together, and to prepare the witnesses.

All seemed happy with it, except for the King. He appeared to be in a hurry, as he said so himself.
