“Where there is envy and strife, there is an incompleteness; but where there is unity, there is completeness. Since this incompleteness came about because they did not know the father, from the moment when they know the father, incompleteness will cease to exist. As one’s ignorance disappears when one gains knowledge, and as darkness disappears when light appears, so also incompleteness is eliminated by completeness. Certainly, from that moment on, form is no longer manifest but will be dissolved in fusion with unity. Now their works lie scattered. In time unity will make the spaces complete. By means of unity each one will understand himself. By means of knowledge one will purify himself from multiplicity into unity, devouring matter within himself like fire and darkness by light, death by life.

“Certainly, if these things have happened to each one of us, it is fitting for us, surely, to think about all so that the house may be holy and silent for unity. Like people who have moved from a house, if they have some dishes around that are not good, they are broken. Nevertheless, the householder does not suffer a loss but rejoices, for in the place of these defective dishes there are those that are completely perfect. For this is the judgment that has come from above and that has judged every person, a drawn two-edged sword cutting on this side and that. When the word appeared, who is in the heart of those who pronounce it—it was not merely a sound but has become a body—a great disturbance occurred among the dishes, for some were emptied, others filled; some were provided for, others were removed; some were purified, still others were broken. All the spaces were shaken and disturbed for they had no composure nor stability. Error was disturbed, not knowing what she should do. She was troubled, she lamented, she was beside herself because she did not know anything. When knowledge, which is the abolishment of error, approached her with all her emanations, error was empty, since there was nothing in her. Truth appeared; all its emanations recognized it. They greeted the father in truth with a power which is complete and which joins them with the father.

“Each one loves truth because truth is the mouth of the father. His tongue is the holy spirit. Whoever touches truth touches the mouth of the father by his tongue at the time when one will receive the holy spirit.”

-Gospel of Truth

Envy and Strife

Envy and strife happen when greed abounds. We see much of this in the world today. The greedy who take far more than they need are considered by most to be heroes instead of sinners, but greed is still one of the seven deadly sins, and in one way or another, karma will catch up with the greedy. At a minimum, we know that those who choose the pleasures of the physical world, will not move on to the spiritual realm when they die.

Ignorance Disappears

Ignorance does disappear when one gains true Knowledge. There are, however, two kinds of ignorance. One can have ignorance of the physical world due to a lack of experience and education. However, even highly educated people regarding the physical realm can be ignorant of the spiritual, which is the worst kind of ignorance as it endangers the immortal Soul.

Purify with Knowledge

With Knowledge and Truth, we become purified, in the sense that we know right from wrong rather than just accepting the opinions of others on what is right and wrong. When we have true Knowledge, we also have universal Love, Love for all beings, love for all that God created. That doesn’t mean that we accept all kinds of horrid behavior, but it does mean that we separate the behavior from the person. Perhaps if more people practice this, we would have less evil behavior in the world. When a lot of people are sending negative thoughts and negative energy towards such people, that energy only makes them worse. If they were sent more love, at least some of them would start to change, and a few be completely changed into the loving beings God intended us to be.

Dishes

When The Word appears, as it has now in the Sun of Righteousness, some “dishes” will be filled, some left empty, some purified, others broken. This is an allegory. Dishes here represent the human spirit and soul. Those who seek and take in The Word found in the Light of the Spiritual Sun will be purified and saved. Those who cling to materialism will not be filled by the Light and will perish as do all material beings. So seek completeness by taking in the Light of the Spiritual Sun, don’t remain incomplete.
