Jesus said: Let he who seeks not stop seeking until he finds, and when he finds he will be amazed (troubled), and when he has been amazed he will marvel (be astonished) and he will reign over all and in reigning, he will find rest. (For the rule (reign) of the one who has obtained gnosis results in rest.)Clement of Alexandria writes: "Being baptized, we are illuminated; illuminated we become sons; being made sons, we are made perfect; being made perfect, we are made immortal." (Instructor, 1.6.26.1)It seems clear that the rule or reign referred to here is ruling oneself or one's own spirit.Those who are troubled that there is more to reality than the eyes can see will seek deeper truths. When the spiritual sight sees the truth, they will be troubled that you have not seen what is so obvious before. They will be troubled that things are very different than they thought they were. They will be troubled at how simple and clear the truth has become when it was hidden so deeply a moment before. In this new reality, things will make sense and the pieces will fit together. The truth or gnosis will bring peace and rest.
