The Fly

Jakob Lorber

A small creature leads into a meditation on creation, humility and the life that returns to God. This English translation follows the German text based on the sixth edition (1988), with the original paragraph identifiers and verse divisions.

The book presents a nineteenth-century spiritual account of nature. The separate technical appendix accompanies the supplied German edition. German names for very large numbers follow the long scale in this translation.
