I have commissioned them to gather up the fallen, and the history of our Great Power, in order that your name be written in our Great Light. Their thoughts and deeds will be ended and purged, scattered and destroyed, and placed where they cannot be found. But you see me, and you will prepare your home in our Great Power. The mixture of symbolic and traditional ideas presented in the gnostic texts can be difficult to grasp at first. Modern religion is ironed flat by thousands of years of editing and conditions us to believe that it has no seamly wrinkles.
Gnostic texts are rough in comparison.
They don't claim to be literal history. They seek the symbolic truth within that gives energy to the outer form. Gnostic belief allows several creation stories to be true, all aspects of a greater truth. The Gnostic writings are fertile ground for Light Travelers. They contain tremendous truth about the attitude needed to prepare for the transition into light and the vision of the light body.
