knowledge because he fears it? He knows his hold
on you is weak, and that if you hear The Truth, you will turn from him,
therefore, he forbids you all knowledge, save that that he gives you.
9 For he knows that when you learn The Truth that you are not a body
that has been given a Soul from him, but a Soul that has taken on a
body, that already HAS eternal life and cannot die unless you,
yourself, destroy your eternal Spirit. He knows if you learn these
things you will be free of his control, and someday rise to his own
level, and be a Lord among your own people.
10 As long as he can keep you ignorant of The Truth, you remain his
slaves. But when you have Wisdom you will be free of him, able to plot
your own course for your eternal Spirit."
11 "What you say," the woman admitted, "frightens me, but I will hear
what you teach. I will know if I am deceived or not. Then, I will
decide who speaks The Truth ….you, or, our master."
