John asks Yeshua what will happen to those who do not attain salvation. They are hurled down "into forgetfulness" and thrown into "prison", the Gnostic code word for new earthly body. The only way for these souls to escape, says Yeshua, is to emerge from forgetfulness and acquire knowledge. A soul in this situation can do so by finding a teacher or savior who has the strength to lead her home. "This soul needs to follow another soul in whom the Spirit of Life dwells, because she is saved through the Spirit. Then she will never be thrust into flesh again."
"Watch and pray that you may not be born in the flesh, but that you may leave the bitter bondage of this life."
"When you see your likeness, you are happy. But when you see your images that came into being before and that neither die nor become visible, how much you will bear!"
