Gnostic Fellowship - The Power of Oneness | Azrael Ondi-Ahman

58 “How can one man alone, change the lives of so many? For the world is greater than all my might, being filled with nations and peoples of every kind. What, therefore, is the life of one man when compared to the ways of all men together? By what means would I bend forever the fate of nations and of kings?”

59 And Areta answered, saying: “Come, my son, and I will reveal in you the power and strength of Oneness; for it is certain that one man, of himself, cannot do the things which I desire, to save from oblivion the life of every man and every woman.

60 Therefore, my son, change the life of one man only and he shall stand beside you; then shall these two, being as one together, change the lives of two others also; and then shall these four men together, be as the force of one.

61 And if you will continue, to move in small degrees, then shall these four men become greater and greater in numbers still, to move, of themselves, in patience throughout the affairs of men;

62 Even until there should stand beside you a multitude of men who, being made like unto yourself in word and deed, shall stand as one together, to change by subtle means the fate of nations and kings.

63 Know then, my son, that in the many which stand beside you, even these shall be made as one in you and you in them; and in this Oneness are all things made possible.”

3rd Endowment 14:58-63

Yet for all the forces arrayed against us, despite the vastness of their numbers and the fierce resolve of all the Demiurge, still shall we endure and in our glory continue on; reaching out and ever seeking to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

6th Endowment 6:45

For in strength alone is virtue found, not in the strength of your arm but rather in the heart and mind instead, causing that you should endure well the trials of life without complaint, being yourselves determined in seizing hold the heart of God.

Being yourselves discontent with lesser things, but reaching forth beyond your fears to touch the throne of God, proving yourselves in the midst of fire and hurt as one indomitable, relentless, resolute, invincible and unyielding to lesser things.

Being in your mind made deaf to the jeers and ridicule, scorn and mockery of lesser men who are themselves as dead already, but being in your heart filled with brave new words, and a courage both high and noble bearing, even while yet you fear.

4th Endowment 24:49-51

For the end of Man shall not come with fire, neither shall Man most slowly fade; but the end of the age shall come with a shout, the sound of joy and wonder, for the Gods of Heaven shall descend from Xion, to stand upon the earth, and in the Gardens of Ondi-Ahman shall the children of men be gathered.

Wisdom 28:12

Take heart therefore, and do not fear tomorrow, but attend with all diligence the present moment in which you live; let the dreams of God guide all your labors, planting in each present moment the seeds of what shall be; and day by day shall you draw all future Man to the Gardens of Ondi-Ahman, to see for themselves the very Gods of Heaven.

Wisdom 28:20

Reaching out and ever seeking
