Knowledge of the Heart: Gnostic Secrets of Inner Wisdom

Let this book give you the sense of allowing the wind to set your course, that is, go on the breath of the Great One, as it is said - in quiet waters, at certain hours of the sun and moon, in the tradition of all who have sailed - clad in monk's clothes, in shimmering veils, in robes rough woven, in shirts rubbed thin on the ropes, faces weathered, and eyes far seeing, of all those who prayed to remember that we are never - not even in the troughs and mountains of the greatest ravaging seas, we are never, ever, abandoned. The Greatest, The Source without source, is riding fo'c'sle, that is, standing up on the topside fore-castle deck near the prow, utterly commanding the course.
