Our hearts are set on the things that exist, but there is a great strength hidden within us.–Authoritative Teaching, Codex VI, 3

As the soul learns about her Light, as she goes about stripping off this world, while her true garment clothes her within; her bridal clothing is placed upon her in beauty of mind, not in pride of flesh.–Authoritative Teaching, Codex VI, 3

The ignorant do not teach God, and scorn those who do.–Authoritative Teaching, Codex VI, 3

The rational soul learns about God.–Authoritative Teaching, Codex VI, 3

The rational soul labors with inquiring, enduring distress in the body, learning about the Inscrutable One.–Authoritative Teaching, Codex VI, 3
