• - He visited heaven and hell and conversed with spirits; he also gave accounts of travel to the moon and the planets.
• - I strongly desired to see the truth of the matter. A voice from heaven then said to me: You shall see and hear. So I departed in the spirit and saw before me an opening, which I approached and examined; and behold!, there was a ladder.
