Universe, the Mother of the (manifested?) worlds who
is called Phanerios (27), and to give them a form, thanks to the twelve
Holy Ones. They send them into the Pleroma of Setheus, by which act
they call to mind those of the external world in which there is matter.

This is the Deep where the Triple-Power rayed out the splendours of His
glory, after He had been to the Indivisible Mother and had received the
Grace of the One Beyond Knowledge, by which He had gotten such a
Sonship that the Fullnesses were not able to stand upright before Him
because of the excess of His light and brilliancy thereof. The whole
Pleroma was troubled, the Abyss and all it contained was moved, and the
[aeons] fled to the world of the Mother [Phanerios], and the Mystery
ordained that the veils of the aeons should be drawn until the Overseer
had established them once more. And the Overseer established the aeons
once more, as it is written, "He has established the Earth, and it
shall not be moved," and again, "The Earth has been dissolved and all
that therein is" (28).

Then the Triple-Power went forth: the Son was concealed in him, and the
crown of confirmation was upon his head, making myriads and myriads of
glories. They cried, "Make straight the way of the Lord and receive
the grace of God: every aeon which is empty shall be filled with the
grace of the Alone-begotten Son."

The Father holy and all-perfect stood above the Deep Immeasurable. It
is in Him that all perfection is found, and in His fullness have we
received grace. Then the world was established; it ceased to shake;
the Father fashioned it so that it might nevermore be shaken, and the
aeon of the Mother remained full of those that were in it until the
ordering came from the Mystery concealed in the First Father, He from
whence came the Mystery; when His Son re-established the Universe once
more in His Gnosis, that which re-enforms the Universe.

Then Setheus sent the Logos Demiourgos, having with him a multitude of
Powers, wearing the crowns on their heads; and their crowns darted
forth rays. The brilliancy of their bodies is as the life of the Space
into which they are come; the word that comes out of their mouths is
life AEonian, and the light that comes from their eyes is a rest for
them; the movement of their hands is their flight to the place from
whence they have come, and their gazing on their own faces is Gnosis of
their interior nature; their going towards them is
