The Gospel of Truth, the Nag Hamadi Collection

For he revealed it as a knowledge with which all its emanations agree, namely, the knowledge of the living book that he revealed to the eternal beings at last as his letters, displaying to them that these are not merely vowels or consonants, so that one may read them and think of something void of meaning. On the contrary, they are letters that convey the Truth. They are pronounced only when they are known. Each letter is a perfect Truth, like a perfect book; for they are letters written by the hand of the unity, since the father wrote them for the eternal beings, so that they by means of his letters might come to know the father.

I’ve studied these Paleo emblems for over forty years. Sometimes I’m able to read them, like a child just learning his letters; and those times are both refreshing and edifying. For the most part, however, I consider the emblems as elements of a heave offering; and I keep tossing them into my mind, waiting for cdqh jwr, the holy spirit, to whisper the soundless counsel of HaShem into my heart. When that happens within the framework of the questions I am setting forth, I do not assume that I’ve learned the meaning of a text, but that I have been given better understanding, appropriate to my concerns.

Key words require deep understandings if one is to grow in faith. One can’t grow to a sound. Sounds speak to the emotions, not to the mind; and understanding based on sound is welded to memory, which imprisons thought. Rote meanings are keys, but they’re not gateways to fresh ideas. The Oracles are based on twenty-two concepts that broadcast the full import of the written word to beginners and masters, alike. Toss keys aside; for true understanding comes by revelation, and not by arsenals of erudition. No approach to study is good or bad, in and of itself. All approaches are lawful if they are expedient for edification, so long as we don’t fall under their power as tools by which we can gain mastery, and so long as we don’t lead others to become enslaved by our own practices. We are to have nothing between ourselves and la, not even the ideas we adopt as our own.

Moses was shown a pattern on Sinai, and he was instructed not to deviate from it in writing Torah. For years I thought the pattern was a secret apart from language or something lost or carefully hidden away. Naturally, it was hidden in plain sight. The Phoenician emblems were once the language of commerce in Egypt; and, today, they are the key to the sealed book, and under guidance of the holy spirit, its letters restore the oracular dimensions of Tanakh. Oracular Torah is a record of the Living Word, that Logos the Baptist envisioned while singing songs of owcwhy, the Salvation of Yah.

A well of spirit, the waters of heaven and earth are reflected in the substance of the emblems, as stated in the teaching that the invisible things of la are made visible in the things that are made. Because creation was projected from the mind of la by the enunciated shout owc of w (father) Yah hy, creation is replete with ripples of that shout’s vibrations; and we can still measure their emblematic import by means of the presence called ”Immanuel lawnmo,“ the incognito messiah, which is la within us.

These are difficult matters, but we shall discover all things in the wonders that await us in life everlasting, soon to come. HaShem will enlarge Torah as he enlarges our hearts, glorifying his word as we partake of the love that is of la, redeeming all things in the glory we have with the father, from the beginning. The time of separation preached by the apostle Paul is coming to an end. Our minds will soon find congruence with the measurement of the mind of messiah. We shall know as we’re known, face upon faces.

As I said, oracular words speak to the question of the supplicant, who may not have enough understanding even to ask relevant questions. It’s the work of the holy spirit to guide each of us through the maze of jumbled ideas competing in our lives; for if our hearts and minds are saddled with superfluous knowledge, like the rich young ruler of the gospels, we will be too weighted down with cherished acquisitions to pass through the narrow gate of Truth, which leads to everlasting life. Relieved of righteous mammon, however, we’ll be turned again as tears of sorrow sweeten to tears of joy; for when HaShem brings about the return to Tsion, we shall awaken, as from a dream.
