has been anointed has the totality— he has the resurrection, the light, the cross,² the Sacred Spirit. The Father bestowed this upon him in the Bridal-Chamber (and¹) he received. (¹asyndeton; ²anti- Gnostic, asyndeton) 102. The Father was in the Son, and the Son in the Father. This is the Sovereignty of the Heavens! (Jn 14:10 17:2023, Th 113!; Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo: ‘For me,... heaven is right here.’) 103. Excellently did the Lord say: Some have attained the Sovereignty of the Heavens laughing, and they came forth [rejoicing from the world]. The Christic [...] who went down into the water immediately came forth as lord over everything, because [he did not consider (the Baptism) a] game. But rather he disdained this [changing world for] the Sovereignty of the Heavens. If he disdains (the world) and scorns it as a game, he [will] come forth laughing. (Ph 96) 104. Furthermore, it is thus regarding the Bread with the Chalice, and the Chrism: there is nonetheless another (sacrament) exalted over these. (Ph 73) 105. The system began in a transgression, for he who made it had desired to make it imperishable and immortal. He fell away and did not attain (his) ambition. For there was no imperishability of the system, and there was no imperishability of him who has made the system. For there is no imperishability of things but rather of the Sons, and no one can obtain imperishability except by becoming (a) Son. Yet he who is unable to receive, how much (more) will he be unable to give! (Ph 5 49) 106. The chalice of communion° contains wine (and¹) it contains water. It is designated as the symbol of the blood,² over which thanks³ are given. And it is filled with the Sacred Spirit, and it belongs to the completely Perfected Person. Whenever we by 74
custom drink this, we shall receive the Perfect Person. (Mk 14:23-24, Jn 19:34, IJn 5:6-8; ¹asyndeton; ²anti-gnostic; ³Gk ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΕΙΝ) 107. The Living Water is a body.¹ It is appropriate that we be clothed in the Living Person. Because of this, (when²) he comes to go down into the water he undresses himself, in order that he may be clothed with that. (¹antiGnostic!; ²asyndeton; Ph 3 26) 108. A horse naturally begets a horse, a human begets (a) human,¹ a god begets (a) god. Thus it is regarding the Bridegroom within the Bride— [their Sons] came forth in the Bridal-Chamber. (The) Jews had not derived [...] from the Greeks, [...] and [we Christics do not derive] from the Jews. (Ph 50) [...] And these were called [...] the chosen generation of the [Sacred Spirit]— the True Man and the Son of Mankind and the seed of the Son of Mankind. This generation is named true in the world. This is the place where the Sons of the Bridal-Chamber are. (¹asyndeton) 109. Mating occurs in this world (as) man upon woman, the place of strength (joined) with weakness. (Gen 3:16) In eternity there is something else (in) the likeness of mating, yet we call it by these (same) names. Yet there are others which are exalted beyond every name which is named, and (which) transcend force. For (in) the place where there is force, there are those who are superior to force. (Ph 140) 110. The one is not, and the other one is— but they are together this single unity.¹ This is He who shall not be able to come unto (whomever) has the carnal heart. (Ph 9; ¹Chuang Tzu, 4th century BC China: ‘That which is one is one, and that which is not one is also one; he who regards all things as One, is a companion of Heaven.’) 111. Is it not appropriate for all those who possess the totality to understand themselves? Some indeed, who do not understand themselves, shall not enjoy those (things) which they have. Yet 75
