The Letter of Siluanús to his bio-son 2
My son, do not acknowledge anyone except Yâ-hwéh alone, the Exalted One. Cast the deceitfulness of the accuser from you. Accept the Light for your eyes, and cast the darkness from you. Live in the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, and you will acquire a treasure in the heavens. Do not become a sausage (made) of many things which are useless, and do not become a guide in your blind non-acknowledgment. My son, listen to my teaching, which is good and useful, and end the sleep which weighs heavily upon you. Depart from the forgetfulness [~of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa] which fills you with darkness, because I would not have said these things to you if you were unable to do anything [about it]. But the Anointed Yâhuwshúa has come in order to give you this gift. Why do you pursue the darkness when the Light is at your disposal? Why do you drink stale water, though sweet wine is available for you? Wisdom summons you, yet you desire folly. Not by your own desire do you do these things, but it is the animal nature within you that does them.
Wisdom summons you in her goodness, saying, "Come to Me, all of you, oh senseless ones, that you may receive a gift, the understanding which is good and excellent. I am giving to you a high-priestly Garment which is woven from every (kind of) wisdom." What else is evil death except non-acknowledgment? What else is evil darkness except familiarity with the forgetfulness [~of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa]? Cast your fears [~of these] upon Yâ-hwéh alone. Do not become desirous of gold and silver, which are profitless, but clothe yourself with the Wisdom like a Robe (Garment); put the acknowledgement [~Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa] on yourself like a crown, and be seated upon a throne of perception. For these are yours, and you will receive them again on high another time. For the senseless existent man (’iysh) usually puts on senselessness like a robe, so like a garment of sorrow, he puts on a shame. And he crowns himself with non-acknowledgment, and takes his seat upon a throne of nescience (lack of acknowledgment). For while he is without reason, he leads only himself astray, for he is guided by non-acknowledgment. And he goes the ways of the desire of every passion; he swims in the desires of bio-life and has sunk. To be sure, he thinks that he finds profit when he does all the things which are without profit. The wretched [~disfavored] man [~Yehuwthâ ́h] who goes through all these things will die, because he does not have the Mind, the helmsman [~the spirit of Truth]. But he is like a ship which the wind tosses to and fro, and like a loose horse which has no rider. For this one needed the rider, which is reason [~logic]. For the wretched [~disfavored] one shall have gone4 astray because he did not want advice. He has been thrown to and fro by these three mishaps: he acquired death as a father, non-acknowledgment as a mother, and evil counsels – he acquired them as friends and brothers. Therefore, oh senseless one, you should mourn for yourself.
From now on, therefore, my son, return to your nature of the Power. Cast away from you these evil, deceiving friends! Accept the Anointed Yâhuwshúa, this true Friend, as the good Teacher. Cast away from you death, which has become a father to you. For death did not exist, nor will it exist at the end. But since you cast away from yourself Yâ-hwéh, the pure Father, the true Life, the Spring of Life, therefore you have obtained death as a father and have acquired non-acknowledgment as a mother. They have robbed you of the true acknowledgement (gnosis). But return, my son, to your first Father, Yâ-hwéh, and the Wisdom, your Mother, from whom you came into existence from the very first in order that you might fight against all of your enemies, the forces of the adversary. Listen, my son, to my advice. Do not be arrogantly in opposition to every good opinion, but take for yourself the side of the Power of reason [~logic]. Keep the pure commandments of Yâhuwshúa the Anointed [1 Yâhuwchânâ ́n 3:23], and you will reign over every place on earth, and will be honored by the envoys and chief envoys. Then you will acquire them as friends and fellow servants, and you will acquire places in the heavens above. Do not bring grief and trouble to the Power Which is within you. But when you will care for It, will request of It that you remain pure, and will become self-controlled in your self (néphesh) and body, you will become a throne-seat of wisdom, and one belonging to Yâ-hwéh's household. He will give you a great Light through it (wisdom).
But before everything (else), know your birth. Know yourself, that is, from what substance you are, or from what race, or from what species. Understand that you have come into being from three races: from the earth [race], from the formed [race], and from the created/chosen (6) [race]. The body has come into being from the earth with an earthly substance, but the formed [race], through the self (néphesh), comes into existence from the thought of the Power. The created/chosen [race], however, is the Mind [~the spirit of Truth], which has come into existence in conformity with the Image of Yâ-hwéh [Male]. The Mind of the Power holds its substance from the Power [Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa], but the self (néphesh) is that which He (Yâ-hwéh) formed for their own hearts, because I think that it (the self (néphesh)) exists as the wife of that [Mind] which has come into existence in conformity with the Image, but matter is the substance of the body, which has come into being from the earth. If you mix up yourself [~not knowing your birth, substance, race, or species], you will acquire the three parts as you fall from virtue into inferiority. Live according to the Mind [~the spirit of Truth]. Do not think about things pertaining to the flesh. Acquire strength, for the Mind to be strong. If you fall from this other [flesh], you have become male-female [effeminate]. And if you cast out of yourself the substance [~the Power] of the Mind [~the spirit of Truth], which is the thought [of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa], you have cut off the Male part, and turned yourself to the female (7) part alone [~néphesh]. You have become self-willed [néphesh-based, "psychic" (8)] [experience-based heart choosing for itself], since you have accepted the substance of the forming. If you cast out the smaller part of this [~the thought of the Power by self-intellect], so that you do not acquire again a dirt-man (’âthâ ́m) [~not a servant of the name (1 Moshéh 3:20)] part – then you have accepted for yourself the animal thought and likeness – you have become fleshly, since you have taken on animal nature. For (if) it is difficult to find a self-willed (néphesh-based, "psychic") dirt-man (’âthâ ́m), how much more so to find the Sovereign? Yet I say that the mighty one of ’aharón (light-carrier/lucifer) is the spiritual one a dirt-man (’âthâ ́m) [~not a servant of the name (1 Moshéh 3:20)] has taken the shape of, from the substance of the mighty one of ’aharón (light-carrier/lucifer). A self (néphesh) of the Power shares partly with this one, moreover it shares in part with the flesh. The un-Fathered9 self (néphesh) is prone to turn from side to side [until the time in] which it images the Truth. It is better for you, oh mortal man (’enówsh), to turn yourself toward the dirt-man (’âthâ ́m) rather than toward the animal nature – I mean with regard to the fleshly [part]. You will take on the likeness of the part toward which you will turn yourself.
(6) Strong's 01254 besides meaning to create also means to choose.
(7) Do not interpret female by material biological definitions. Female spiritually means generative of concepts outside of the Male, Yâ-hwéh.
(8) Note that this term is a transliteration of an ancient Greek term, and is unrelated to the modern-day evolved term. The change in meaning is responsible for many misunderstandings of these scriptures, where scribes fail to translate terms accurately.
