nite Spark of Light, at whom
all the aeons wondered, asking themselves where He had been concealed
before manifesting Himself from the Infinite Father, He from whom the
Universe was manifested and who was latent therein. The Powers of the
Secret Worlds followed Him when they were manifested and came into the
Temple of the Pleroma. He hid Himself amidst the Powers who came forth
from the Father in Secret (37). He made a world and bore it into the
Temple. Then the Powers of the Pleroma beheld Him and loved Him and
praised Him in hymns ineffable, unspeakable to tongues of mortal flesh,

firmament, in many heavens, in each region, in each space, in each
receptacle. He gave them [who had followed Him] laws and delivered
unto them commandments, saying, "Keep My sayings and I will give unto

you with mighty spirits, and will give unto you the dominion of your
