of everyone, purifying them, bringing them back— within the Father, within the Mother, Yeshua of infinite kindness. The Father uncovers his bosom,¹ which is the Sacred Spirit, revealing his secret. His secret is his Son! (Ph 20b) Thus thru the compassions of the Father the eternal-ones recognize him. And they cease their toil of seeking for the Father and repose in him, recognizing that this is the repose. (¹cp. Odes of St Solomon 8:17, ‘My own breasts I prepared for them, that they might drink my holy milk and live thereby’; see also Ode 19) 18. Having replenished the deficiency, he dissolved the scheme°. For the scheme is this world in which he served as a slave, and deficiency is the place of envy and quarreling. Yet the place of the unity is perfect. Since deficiency occurred because the Father was not recognized, thereafter when the Father is recognized there shall be no deficiency. Just as with ignorance: when someone comes to know, the ignorance dissolves of itself— and also as darkness dissipates when the light shines— so also deficiency vanishes when perfection appears. Thus from that moment on there is no more scheme, but rather it disappears in the fusion of the unity. For now their involvements are made equal at the moment when the fusion perfects the spaces. (Th 61b) 19. Each one shall receive himself in the unification and shall be purified from multiplicity unto unity in acquaintanceship— consuming matter in himself like a flame, darkness with light, and death with life. Since these things have thus happened to each one of us, it is appropriate that we think of the totality so that the household be holy and silent for the unity. 20. It is like some who move jars from their proper places to unsafe places, where they are broken. And yet the master of the house suffered no loss but rather rejoiced, for those unsound jars were replaced by these which are fully perfect. This is the judgment which has come from above, like a double-edged sword 98
drawn to cut this way and that as each one is judged. (Rev/Ap 1:16) 21. There came to the midst the Logos, which is in the heart of those who express it. This was not a mere sound, but rather he became a body.¹ A great disturbance occurred among the jars— for lo some were emptied, others were filled, some were supplied, others were overturned, some were cleansed, others were broken. All of the spaces quaked and were agitated, having neither order nor stability. Confusion was in anguish at not discerning what to do— distressed and lamenting and cropping hair² from understanding nothing. (¹anti-Gnostic; ²Lev 19:27 + Num 6:5) 22. Then when recognition approached with all its emanations, this was the annihilation of confusion which was emptied into nothingness. The truth came to the midst, and all his emanations recognized and embraced the Father in truth and united with him in a perfect power. For everyone who loves the truth attaches himself to the mouth of the Father with his tongue by receiving the Sacred Spirit. (Ac 2:1-4) The truth is the mouth of the Father, his language is the Sacred Spirit joined to him in truth. This is the revelation of the Father and his self-manifestation to his eternal- ones. He has revealed his secret, explaining it all. (Th Prolog 108) 23. For who is the Existent-One, except for the Father alone? All dimensions are his emanations, recognized in coming forth from his heart like sons from a mature person who knows them. Each one whom the Father begets had previously received neither form ° nor name. Then they were formed thru his self-awareness. Although indeed they had been in his mind, they had not recognized him. The Father however is perfectly acquainted with all the dimensions, which are within him. 24. Whenever he wishes he manifests whomever he wishes, forming him and naming him. And in giving him a name, he 99
