“… and sometimes even put to death.” (Amen)
“The seeds of God, ’tis true, are few, but vast and fair and good;
virtue and self-control, and devotion. Devotion is God Gnosis: And
he who knoweth God, being filled with all good things, thinks only
godly thoughts, and not thoughts like the many think. For this
cause, they who Gnostic are, please not the many, not the many them.
They are thought mad and laughed at; they’re hated and despised, and
sometimes even put to death.”
A quote from a Gnostic liturgy.
