829. Since religion occupies the highest levels in a person, and the highest levels give life and light to the levels below, and because Mohammed is associated in their minds with religion, there is always a Mohammed set for them to see. So that they should face the east, above which the Lord is, he is placed below the Christian centre. He is not the real Mohammed who wrote the Koran, but another who discharges his office; nor is it always the same one, but he changes. At one time it was a man from Saxony who was captured by Algerians and became a Mohammedan. Since he had also been a Christian, he was sometimes impelled to talk to them about the Lord, telling them how He was not the son of Joseph, but the Son of God Himself. Others succeeded him as Mohammed. In the place where this representative of Mohammed lives, a fire like that of a torch is to be seen, as a mark of recognition. But this fire is invisible to all but Mohammedans.
