I want to thank Angelia,
my granddaughter, for
helping me with research,
and Darren English for
his great help in tracking
Gnostic philosophy with me

I

The way of all peace is to scale the mountain of self.
Loving others makes the climb down easier. We see all
things darkly until love lights the lamp of our soul.

II

Whatever thou lovest, lovest thou.

III

Do not give unto God any human pettiness such as
vengeance, wrath, or hate. Negativity is mans alone.

IV

Create your own heaven, not a hell.
You are a creator made from God.

V

Turn thy power outward, not inward,
for therein shines the light and the way.

VI

In faith be like the wind chimes: Hold steady
until faith, like the wind, moves you to joy.

VII

Know that each life is a path winding toward perfection.
It is the step after step that is hard, not the whole of the journey.

VIII

Be simple. Allow no man to judge you,
not even yourself, for you cannot judge God.

IX

You are a light in a lonely, dark desert who enlightens many.

X

Let no one convince you that you are less than a God.
Do not let fear imprison your spiritual growth.

XI

Do not allow the unfounded belief in demons
to block your communion with God.

XII

The body is a living temple unto God,
wherein we worship the spark of the Divine.

XIII

God does not create the adversities in life.
By your own choice they exist to aid in your perfection.

XIV

Karma is nothing more than honing the wheel of evolvement.
It is not retribution, but merely a balancing of experiences.

XV

God allows each person the opportunity for perfection, whether you need one life or a
hundred lives to reach your level of perfection.

XVI

Devote your life, your soul, your very existence, to the
service of God. For only there will you find meaning in life.

XVII

War is profane; defense is compulsory.

XVIII

Death is the act of returning Home; it should be done with grace and dignity. You may
preserve that dignity by refusing prolonged
use of artificial life-support systems. Let Gods will be done.

XIX

We believe in a Mother God, Who is
co-Creator with our all-loving Father God.

XX

We believe that our Lord was crucified, but did not die
on the cross. Instead, he went on to live his life in France with his mother and Mary Magdalene, his wife.

XXI

We Gnostics kept the knowledge hidden that Christs lineage exists even today, and the
truth long buried is open to research.

CONTENTS

Dear God,

As the years pass like the dead leaves in autumn, let me never lose sight of You. Let me always walk with my hand in Yours, and when human beings may fail me and all hope seems to die, let me feel You walking beside me.

I have a great journey ahead of me, by which I am master. If it lasts for only a day or stretches throughout many years, keep me pure of heart and true to the principles I hold so high. Let me always be patient with those around me. Let me see life at its fullest and yet smile bravely at death. Let me see and appreciate the beauty of Your creations and the extent of Your power. Only when I have done these things will I be able to look to heaven and know I have lived.

Through the years when my dreams fall around me, I will know that dreams should not only be made up of hope that stretches like a translucent web over reality, but built out of the hope that burns into the future and is left in our lighthouse of memories.
