"murder is death, death is murder"
The gnostics saw life as sabotage, rebellion, and escape from the ignorant gods who ruled the world. "The point of gnostic knowledge," he concluded, "was to use it. It was meant to change the world." He read aloud from the prologue of one text: "`These are an offering to an ideal order that completely transcends life as we know it…. Whoever finds the interpretation of these texts will not experience death.'"

Those who sow in winter reap in summer. The winter is the world, the summer the other Aeon (eternal realm). Let us sow in the world that we may reap in the summer. Because of this, it is fitting for us not to pray in the winter. Summer follows winter. But if any man reap in winter he will not actually reap but only pluck out, since it will not provide a harvest for such a person. It is not only […] that it will […] come forth, but also on the Sabbath […] is barren.
