The Return to Unity

Gospel of Truth · Section 5 of 16 · 4 passages

1His Wisdom meditates on the Word, his teaching speaks it, his knowledge has revealed it, his patience is a crown upon it, his joy is in harmony with it, his glory has exalted it, his image has revealed it, his rest has received it, his love made a body around it, and his faith embraced it.

2In this way, the Word of the Father goes out in all, as the fruit of his heart and an expression of his will. But it supports all. It chooses them and also takes the expression of all, purifying them and returning them to the Father and to the Mother, Jesus of infinite sweetness.

3The Father reveals his bosom, and his bosom is the Holy Spirit. He reveals what is hidden of himself; what is hidden of himself is his Son—so that through the mercies of the Father, the generations may know him and cease their work of searching for the Father, resting in him and knowing that this is the rest. He has filled the need and dissolved its appearance—its appearance is the world in which it served, because where there is envy and strife there is need, but where there is Unity there is completion. Since need came into being because the Father was not known, when the Father is known, from then on need will no longer exist. As someone’s ignorance dissolves when they gain knowledge, and as darkness dissolves when the light appears, so also need dissolves in completion. So the appearance is revealed from then on, but it will dissolve in the harmony of Unity.

4For now, their works lie scattered. In time, Unity will complete the realms. Within Unity, each one will receive themselves, and within knowledge they will purify themselves from multiplicity into Unity, consuming matter within themselves like fire, darkness by light, and death by life. If indeed these things have happened to each one of us, then it is right for us to think about all, so that this house will be holy and silent for the Unity.
