Chapter 7 |
|
| |
|
|
1. |
This is the manifestation of the Father and his revelation to his Aeons.
|
|
2. |
He revealed his hidden self and explained it.
|
|
3. |
For who is it who exists if it is not the Father himself?
|
|
4. |
All the spaces are his emanations.
|
|
5. |
They knew that they stem from him as children from a perfect man.
|
|
6. |
They knew that they had not yet received form nor had they yet received a name, every one of which the Father produces.
|
|
7. |
If they at that time receive form of his knowledge, though they are truly in him, they do not know him.
|
|
8. |
But the Father is perfect.
|
|
9. |
He knows every space which is within him.
|
|
10. |
If he pleases, he reveals anyone whom he desires by giving him a form and by giving him a name; and he does give him a name and cause him to come into being.
|
|
11. |
Those who do not yet exist are ignorant of him who created them.
|
|
12. |
I do not say, then, that those who do not yet exist are nothing.
|
|
13. |
But they are in him who will desire that they exist when he pleases, like the event which is going to happen.
|
|
14. |
On the one hand, he knows, before anything is revealed, what he will produce.
|
|
15. |
On the other hand, the fruit which has not yet been revealed does not know anything, nor is it anything either.
|
|
16. |
Thus each space which, on its part, is in the Father comes from the existent one, who, on his part, has established it from the nonexistent. [...] he who does not exist at all, will never exist.
