And there is one whose name was Gnōsis upon the earth. And Gnōsis had lived in the area where Yōhannaz had settled; nevertheless, he had ran away from the prophet upon his arrival and had fled unto more wicked lands, and there died in his lusts and his greeds. And when he had perished, he found himself greeted by Helel, who is the keeper of the doors to Hel, and she ushered him into this realm, and there he stayed. Now we also know that when a person dies in wickedness, the wall is not lifted entirely from their eyes, but remains. And thus it was with Gnōsis, for he knew well the religions of the Scythians and knew that he had been a wicked and slothful man.
2
And he dwelled in his misery in Hel for aeons uncounted, for we understand that time in the other realms works differently than time upon Middle-Earth. Therefore, only the Aiylōhyme knows how long Gnōsis dwelled in Hel. And there he was also set to work, and while he labored in Hel, he began to ponder somewhat on this Yōhannaz that he had met and upon the gospel that he had taught. And in his heart, he began to desire more light and knowledge, and began to set down his sins in his heart. And when he had done this, the portals opened, and ųųThūnoraz and the Vyaneir descended into Hel to declare repentance.
3
Thus, it was that Gnōsis came unto the Vyaneir and found among them Yōhannaz, and Gnōsis was among those that Yōhannaz and Hennen had first received in Ohrther when the portals had freshly opened.
4
Now, Gnōsis was taken up unto the realm of his fathers and there dwelled for a time, being taught by them and spending much time learning the ways of the Aiyseir. And when the time came, Gnōsis pierced the portal to the Higher Realms and was visited by Thūnoraz. Now, it was, that Thūnoraz gave him a certain special task with which to complete, and this task was to return unto Hel along with the Vyaneir and preach unto them all that had happened unto him, that those in Hel might know of a surety that this thing which Thūnoraz had promised would happen.
5
And now, we speak of the faith of the dead. For as sure as we must have faith in Thūnoraz and break through the wall, so must the dead, for the wall is not completely removed from them, and they remain in their indolent and unrighteous states, never knowing nor remembering the things of the higher realms. And thus, it was with great faith that Gnōsis broke through the wall that he might become Vyaneir, for the portals to the higher realm were closed, and the Vyaneir could not descend into its depths. Nevertheless, the portals were opened, and they did descend. And when this thing happened, Gnōsis began to have faith in his heart that he might still become one with the Aiyseir. And he pondered these things in his heart, and he began to exercise his faith even unto repentance. And when he had repented unto Ohrther, his faith grew still, for never had Heimalaz nor any Nifle ever descended into the realms of the underworld. Nevertheless, Gnōsis knew of a surety that Heimalaz would meet him with fire and ascension, for Thūnoraz had promised this thing. And thus it was that when Gnōsis had exercised his faith sufficient, he proclaimed with a loud voice: Heimalaz, I am prepared! And Heimalaz descended upon him and burned him with the burnings of everlasting righteousness. For thus is the saying that Hel was burned.
6
And when this, the chains of Hel could keep him no longer, and he was guided unto the realms of his fathers, where he met again with all those whom he had left. And he met with his father, and his father's father, and his wife too was there, and there was a great rejoicing. And Thūnoraz had truly fulfilled this soul's faith, for Gnōsis had exercised it, and his faith was tried. Nevertheless, Thūnoraz did not forsake him, and he stood once again with his generations, a Vyaneir as they.
7
And when this, Gnōsis exercised greater faith still, for he was called upon by Thelli to aid in the construction of the temple, and thus Gnōsis answered the call of his father. And he exercised faith that a temple might be constructed in the place of the fathers, which thing had never before been done.
8
Now, his faith was greater still exercised, for he entered the temple, and received all the teachings therein, and he was taught about Sydeir and how a one must come up in Sydeir, and he was taught about the wall and how a one must break through the wall in order that Thūnoraz and Heimalaz could take that one across the bridge unto Athalaz where the Aiylōhyme dwell.
9
Now this thing was known to happen among those with bodies, for the body is itself an instrument of ascension. Nevertheless, it had never before happened to a soul without a body to speak of. Nevertheless, Gnōsis could not be contained. And he called upon the Aiyseir and upon Heimalaz and broke through the wall as had his family upon the earth. And when this, he was able to cross across the bridge and behold many great and marvelous things the very same as we.
10
Now, is this not faith? What greater faith has a man shown? For never had it been said that a man could ascend from the lowest pits of Hel unto the highest courts of Athalaz. Nevertheless, with the aid of Heimalaz and Thūnoraz and mighty faith, Gnōsis performed this task. And we know of a surety that he did, for we have spoken with him face to face. And nevertheless, he does not yet possess a body, he still has done all that we have done and has come unto the place of his fathers to dwell forever with them in everlasting burnings.
