Smutek to uczucie, jak gdyby się tonęło, jak gdyby grzebano cię w ziemi.

"When everything is one in Creation, in its laws, in the creatures and in matter, it is without error.

51. "When a wise man says there are always two of everything, he means that they are one within themselves and one together.

52. "It is only two in appearance, because in itself and also together it is always one.

53. "Therefore evil is one in itself because it is also good in itself.
Likewise, good is one in itself because it is just as much evil in itself.

54. "Since even when apart they are one and a unity, together they are also one and a unity, for this is the law of Creation.

55. "Thus the result is that there are two parts in appearance, but they are both one in themselves and one when together.

56. "If, therefore, people say there exists also a trinity, then their consciousness has been addled by some cult, falsified teachings or confused thinking.

57. "A unity always consists of two parts, which are one in themselves and are a duality only in appearance.

58. "Since a person is a unity of two parts, the spirit is a unity of two parts, but both are one in themselves and one together.

59. "The body cannot live without the spirit and conversely, because spirit and body are a unity despite their seeming duality.

60. "The spirit, however, lives according to the same law, because in itself it also consists of two parts and is one in each part; thus it is one in itself.

61. "The two parts of the spirit are wisdom and power.

62. "Without wisdom of the spirit, its power cannot be utilized, nor can any wisdom emerge without spiritual power.

141
63. "Hence, two things are always required that are one within themselves, so there is a oneness within the unity but not a duality.

64. "Thus the law says that a human being is a unity in itself, which consists of two equal parts that form a unity, both within themselves and also together.

65. "And the two equal parts in the human being, each of which constitutes a unity within itself, are the body and the spirit.

66. "So when the scribes teach that a person lives in a trinity, this teaching is erroneous and falsified, because it is not taught in accordance with the laws of Creation."

Chapter 35 - Cults Around Jmmanuel 1. It came to pass that Jmmanuel, his mother Mary, and his brother Thomas travelled on into the cities at the sea in the north. Since olden times, warrior women inhabited the area, but their descendants were now peace loving.

2. He preached to them the new teachings according to his knowledge but had to flee their cities when they attempted to kill him.

3. Their own teachings, far removed from truth, were from a rigid religious cult; and they punished with death those who taught differently.

4. Jmmanuel was treated as an outcast by these people and persecuted as an agitator against their cult. So he fled.

5. It came to pass during his flight that he met up with a large caravan.
He and his following joined it and continued inland and into the mountains.

6. They travelled through the central part of the country for many weeks whereupon they came to another sea and into the city of Ephesus.

7. But Jmmanuel was very much afraid, and no longer preached his new teachings so that no one would recognize him; for in Ephesus were many people -- dealers and merchants, who came there from Jerusalem to conduct business.

142
8. Many among them had known Jmmanuel and had not been well disposed toward him; therefore he avoided them and obscured his face.

9. The dealers and merchants in Ephesus had spread the story of Jmmanuel and his purported death, which had occurred two-and-one-half years earlier.

10. However, after he had been in the city for a few days, behold, he was recognized by one of the merchants who informed others of like belief.
They belonged to a secret group called the Association of the Essenes.

11. They brought Jmmanuel to a meeting that was secret, for they feared the people because their secret society was considered unlawful.

12. But among them was one named Juthan, the most senior of the secret society in Jerusalem, and he spoke, saying,

13. "Behold, we know very well what has taken place in your life, but we do not understand how you can still be among the living. So, do tell us your secret."
