FORGETFULNESS

All people have drunk the water of forgetfulness and exist in a state of ignorance. Some can overcome ignorance through the Spirit of Life that descends upon all of them. These souls "will be saved and will become perfect," that is, escape the round of rebirth.

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. "These souls need to follow Yeshua in whom the Spirit of Life dwells. Those who are saved through the Spirit 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 and enter the eternal with God."

"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!"
