Yâhuwshúa` said, “Whoever has come to understand the world has discovered a carcass, and whoever has discovered the carcass, the world is not worthy of that man.” -- The Glad Tidings of Tâówm (Bassër Tâówm) This non-acknowledgment (ignorance) of the Father brought about terror and fear. And terror became like a dense fog, so that no one was able to see. Because of this, the Error became strong. But it worked vainly on His material substance [the Universe], because it did not acknowledge the Truth. It existed in a fashioned form while it was being prepared, in power and in beauty, as the equivalent of Truth. This then, was not a humiliation for Him, that illimitable, inconceivable One. For this terror and this forgetfulness and this figure of falsehood, they were as nothing, whereas this established Truth is unchanging, unperturbed and completely beautiful. For this reason, do not take the Error too seriously. Thus, since it has had no root [in reality (baseless)], it was in a blind fog as regards the Father, engaged in preparing works and forgetfulnesses and fears in order to, by these means, beguile those of the midst [of the blind fog] and to make them captive. The forgetfulness of the Error was not revealed to it. It did not become a light beside the Father. Forgetfulness did not exist with the Father, although it existed because of Him. What exists within Him is knowledge, which has been revealed so that forgetfulness might be destroyed and that they might acknowledge the Father. Since forgetfulness existed because they did not acknowledge the Father, if they then come to acknowledge the Father, from that moment on forgetfulness will cease to exist. That is the glad tidings of Him Whom they seek, which He has revealed to the mature through the mercies of the Father as the hidden secret, Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed One [Yâhuwshúa` is Yâ-hwéh]. Through Him He enlightened those who were in darkness because of forgetfulness. He enlightened them and gave them a Way. And that Way is the Truth which He taught them [Dérekh Yâ-hwéh]. For this reason, the Error was angry with Him [Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`], so it persecuted Him. It was distressed by Him, so it made Him Powerless. He was nailed to a gallows-cross. It became a fruit of the acknowledgement of the Father. He [the Father] did not, however, destroy them because they ate of it. He rather caused those who ate of it to become joyful because of this discovery. And as for Him, them He found within Himself, and Him they found within themselves, that illimitable, incomprehensible One - that perfect Father Who made the universe, by Whom the Universe exists, yet Whom the Universe lacks, since He retained within Himself their perfection, which He had not given to the universe. The Father was not envious. What envy, indeed, exists between Him and His members? For, even if the Age had received their perfection, they would not have been able to approach the perfection of the Father, because He retained their perfection within Himself, giving it to them as a Way to return to Him and as a knowledge unique in perfection. He is the One Who set the Universe in order and by Whom the Universe existed yet Whom the Universe lacked. As One of whom some have no knowledge, He desires that they acknowledge Him and that they love Him [Yâhuwshúa` is Yâ-hwéh]. For what is it that the Universe lacked, if not the knowledge of the Father? -- The Glad Tidings of the Truth (Bassër ha-Éméth)
