In its active form, this case has already been mentioned in the first volume of Gnosis .
As for the true satisfaction, the reward spoken of the gospels, the student will find

this only by serving an esoteric cause.

The attentive reader will draw a practical conclusion from the above: one must find
a genuine esoteric task being carried out in the world, make oneself useful in that

work, and take an active part in it [cf. original French version, Gnôsis II, p. 14; Amis,

Gnôsis II, p. xxvii].

is said:

"And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both

he that sowest and he that reapeth may rejoice together... I sent you to reap that

whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
8

In the fifth chapter of this volume, we give the reader a general glimpse of the

historical evolution of post-adamic human society seen from the esoteric angle.

Organic life on Earth, led by the adamic man, follows its evolution under the aegis of
Absolute II. The latter, who is Christ, the Son of God, operates among us through certain

human beings who are predisposed to take an active part in this endeavour.

It is by being able to distinguish between the "A" and "B" influences, that the seeker
can enter into contact with the person or the persons who "reap". Then, if he really

understands the core of the matter, he can try to join them in their work. This, on the

sole condition, and we have emphasized this point before, that he can be useful. For, in

esoteric questions, there is neither nepotism, nor exaggerated tolerance, and still less,

charitable
