On Clowns

Many are the aspirants who believe themselves to be serious; yet, they are not.

There are many who enter our studies and then play with diverse doctrines. They are not serious.

There are many who know this doctrine; yet, they simply play with this doctrine.

The careless Gnostics who flirt with other doctrines play with Gnosis.

There are many students of Gnosis who ridicule Gnosis while playing with it.

Many clowns have infiltrated the Gnostic movement.

Those who have not declared themselves to be their own mortal enemies are not serious.

Gnostics who are not serious become fascinated with novelties. This is their problem.

These types of Gnostics, Gnostics who are not serious, Gnostics who are searching and playing, definitely fail.

Only the Gnostics who work on themselves can integrally Self-realize themselves.
