AN EXCERPT FROM THE GOSPEL OF THE EGYPTIANS WITH COMMENTARY
O living water, O child of the child, O Glorious name!
“O living Aeon, Living One who sees the Aeons! Who is eternally eternal!
“You are what you are, You are who you are!
“You who lives in the heart, This great name of yours upon me, O self-begotten. Perfect one, who is not outside me. I see you, O you who are visible to everyone.
“For who will be able to comprehend you in another language? Now that I have known you, I have mixed myself with the unchangeable. I have armed myself with an armor of light; I have become light!
“For the Mother was at the place because of the splendid beauty of grace. Therefore, I have stretched out my hands while they were folded.
“I was shaped in the circle of the riches of Light which is in my bosom, which gives shape to the many begotten ones in the Light into which no complaint reaches. I will declare your glory truly, for I have comprehended you.
“O God of Silence! I honor you completely,
“You are my place of rest, O formless one who exists in the formless ones, who IS, raising up the man in whom you will purify me into your life, according to your imperishable Name.
“Therefore, the incense of life is in me. I mixed it with water after the model of the archons, in order that I may live with you in peace of the Holy Ones, you who ARE, really truly forever.” ~ The Gospel Of The Egyptians
