“I stand at the door, and I knock.

“Stand you fearless at the door, and knock boldly. He who shall hear you shall open it unto you; and you will go into him, and he shall follow you to his salvation. Grant him to sit by your side, and share the glory of the throne of the New Beginning. Let him serve you and all mankind, each to the best of his way; and gain reason, as commanded.”

The Saviour said, “The lamp of the body is the mind. As long as the things inside you are set in order,”that is, within reason and truth,”your bodies are luminous. As long as your hearts are dark, the luminosity you anticipate shall not show itself.”

“There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of certain truth. Exhibit true superiority by virtuous conduct and the exercise of reason; meditate deeply on the vanity of monetary possessions, and understand the fickleness of life.

For those with ears to hear.

Judas said, “Tell us Lord, what was there before the heavens and the earth existed?”

The Lord said, “First there was the drawing together of the dust of the Universe. Then there was darkness and water; and the Spirit of Life came upon water. And I say to you, ‘What you seek after,”even that which you inquire after,”the same is within you. And the power and the mystery of the spirit,”for, from evil and wickedness shall come evil and wickedness of mind,”I bid you behold, for such shall destroy you.”

And Thomas said, “Lord, tell us where the spirit of man is established, and where the true mind exists.”

The Lord said, “The fire of the spirit came into existence with the first man; so came they together. On this account the spirit came into existence, and the true mind came into existence within them, both man and spirit. If someone sets his mind up high, then he will be exalted, for his spirit is his deeper mind.”

Way thought for the day, 29th March, 2012 – those who receive the truth

 

“All those who receive the truth will find perfect enlightenment. And, verily, such is the power of true wisdom that even by the reading of a single verse, by copying, and keeping in mind a single sentence of the Good Laws, persons may be converted to the truth and enter the path that is The Way, which leads to deliverance from evil and extinction.
