Wheel of Time

"Jesus said, 'Become passers-by." (The Gospel of Thomas, Gnostic papyri)

Wheel of Time - The celestial sphere Of Time and Fatality upon which a person is shackled in the temporal world. Sabaoth the Adamas became obstinately attached to his lower works and was bound to the sphere. In Gnostic texts, Jesus says that he has overthrown the unrighteous rulers of the spheres and abolished the course of Fate by changing the rotation of the spheres to an alternating movement, so they can no longer exert their powers over humanity.

"Jesus said, 'The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of gnosis and hidden them." (The Gospel of Thomas, Gnostic papyri)
