Aiwass affirmed.
He gazed into Geront's eyes, as if peering into the depths of his soul: "Because you are, 'the one hidden within the horse belly'... isn't that right."
In fact, Aiwass didn't clearly remember Geront's past.
He merely vaguely recalled that Geront seemed to have suffered a severe illness, crawled inside a horse's belly as a child... and then recovered from the illness. The result was he became so grotesque.
"Yes, just like me."

"Yes, forced to hide within the horse belly, leading to a distorted visage... and the like."
Aiwass answered vaguely.
