perform the first mystery of the First Mystery, and it will turn back unto you all the
mysteries which ye have given unto them, and it will make them strangers to the

mysteries of the Light for ever.
6. "And such men will not be led back to the world from this moment onwards; but amēn, I
say unto you: Their dwelling is in the midst of the jaws of the dragon of the outer
darkness. And if they still at a time of repentance renounce the whole world and the
whole matter therein and all the sins of the world, and they are in entire submission to
the mysteries of the Light, no mystery can hearken unto them nor forgive their sins,

save this same mystery of the Ineffable, which hath mercy on every one and forgiveth
every one his sins."

CHAPTER 108
1. It came to pass, when Jesus had finished saying these words unto his disciples, that
Mary adored the feet of Jesus and kissed them. Mary said: "My Lord, bear with me, if I
question thee, and be not wroth with me."

2. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Question concerning what thou desirest to
question, and I will reveal it unto thee in openness."
3. And Mary answered and said: "My Lord, suppose a good and excellent brother whom
we have filled with all the mysteries of the Light, and that brother hath a brother or

kinsman, in a word he hath in general [any] man, and this [man] is a sinner and impious
or better he is no sinner, and such an one hath gone out of the body, and the heart of
the good brother is grieved and mourneth over him, that he is in judgments and
chastisements,--now, therefore, my Lord, what are we to do to remove him out of the
chastisements and harsh judgments?"
4. And the Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Concerning this word, therefore, I have

already spoken unto you at another time, but hearken that I may say it again, so that ye
may be perfected in all mysteries and be called 'the perfected in every fulness.'

5. "Now, therefore, all men, sinners or better who are no sinners, not only if ye desire that

they be taken out of the judgments and violent chastisements, but that they be
removed into a righteous body which will find the mysteries of the godhead, so that it
goeth on high and inheriteth the Light-kingdom,--then perform the third mystery of the
Ineffable and say: Carry ye the soul of this and this man of whom we think in our hearts,
carry him out of all the chastisements of the rulers and haste ye quickly to lead him
before the Virgin of Light; and in every month let the Virgin of Light seal him with a

higher seal, and in every month let the Virgin of Light cast him into a body which will be
righteous and good, so that it goeth on high and inheriteth the Light-kingdom.
