10. Consciousness is not the physical world
11. Consciousness constructs the experience of the physical world, but it is not that physical world

26. Only the Angel has the power to realize itself
27. The ego surrenders itself to this realization through the Grace of the Angel
28. The ego prepares itself for Grace through practice
29. There is no attainment for the ego, attainment means the destruction of the ego
30. Gnosis is a totally destructive energy
31. The Angel is Truth
32. The direct experience of these statements is Gnosis
33. One who has experienced Gnosis is a Man of Earth
34. One who lives in Gnosis is a Lover
35. One who is consumed utterly by Gnosis is a Hermit.  What is their truth?
36. Only the Angel exists

Love is the law, love under will
