GNOSIS



Is God an ultimate Answer?
Or is He a living, pulsing Question?
Do we trouble Him with our Questions?
Or are We the still unfinished Answers to his Quest?
If so, do we have the courage to bear Him as a Question?
Not the question of whether He ‘is’ or is not, but
The question that He is, and that we are too.
Is all our Questioning a fruitless pursuit?
Or is it the very pulsation of His own Divine Quest?
A Quest of whichWe ourselves are the fruit.
Is faith to be found through religious belief?
Through the model answers of modern science?
Through the false certitude of Final Solutions,
or in The true Zone of the Divine - the Zone of the Question?
This Zone of the Question can become a tomb or a womb.
For some the Zone is a prison and a place of torment and torture.
But it is the same Zone that is the source of wonder and terror.
That is both a barrier and a gateway to the countless worlds.
The Question is ours to open or foreclose, to bear with,
Live and flourish from, or shy away and die to.
“Questioning is the piety of thinking.”
It is a Questing of the soul that answers only to Him.
The Questing soul is a holy soul, infused with His inner vitality.
A soul at home in his Divine Zone – the Zone of the Question.
Therefore do not ply Him with your questions, but
Listen to the question that you Are.
The question that you are is His question too.
Be the question and you will Become the answer.
An answer that never ceases to grow nor ever becomes Old in its certainties, but is ever refreshed from theRoots of its unknowing, Questing Being.
What is a Question if not the oscillation of a relation?
What is this oscillation if not the essence of energy; vitality itself?
What then, is the relation that matters most, that is most vital to us,
If not the oscillation that matters the very vitality of our Questing,
Answering itself as atoms and molecules, stars and galaxies.
As the very flesh and blood of which we are composed.
Those who only seek Answers to Questions
Forget that the source of all Answers is a Question.
A cosmic ‘Big Bang’ is not a Question but an Answer.
Just so, a great Cosmic Creator, a Cosmocrat of the All.
No science or religion that quests ultimate Answers to
All and Everything can comprehend Anything at all.
No soul content with its own Answers can enter
The Zone of the Divine, or find the meaning ofHis Quest,
His dark cosmic matterings.

Hebrews 1:3 says, "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power."

Hebrews 11:3 says, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

God released a spiritual substance called "the Word", and each atom of the universe is made from this material, from His person. The fabric of the natural is literally glued together, upheld by the Word of His power. God put His Word in our mouth and that is how we can speak to situations and cause them to change. Just like us, circumstances change on a spiritual level first, then the natural will manifest. We were saved, and then our act began to clean up. Speak the Word, and circumstances will begin to line up with what God says.

Matthew 16:19 says, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
