Poem
"I am the wisdom of Greeks I am the gnosis of the savage barbarians I am the shrewdness of Greeks I am the prudence of the lawless barbarians I am despised everywhere I am loved everywhere, for everyone sings of me I am called life and heaven I am the child that they call death and wailing Hades I am called the one true law I am the one that they have called nature’s lawlessness I am one they searched and seized I am the seeds they scattered and gathered together I am utterly godless I am the one whose God is the mountain of greatness I am the one who is mocked I am the one who they study for I am unlocked I am the despised serpent I am the serpent whose words they study every day I am simply unlettered And they rob from me my scales of intricate wisdom I am the mirror of shame I am the veiled maiden who visits no festival I am the unseen star whose festivals are many" “I am the light dwelling in light I am the remembrance of divine forethought I am simply the All you see I am the unseen light that is over all The all bursted forth out of me And to my outsretched arms the all will come back Split a piece of wood – I am there Lift the stone, and you will find me breathing there You are my slithering long branch I am that old vine you know from the garden If a soul remains within me They will burst forth with fruits of every colour If you are cut off from me, you can do naught” "I am perfect mind and rest I am the gnosis of my journey to truth itself I am powers of powers I am the discovery of those who search for me I am the command of those who ask about my soul" “I am the bread of perfect life If you come to me you will not be hungry If you have gnosis of me, thirst will leave you" "I am the honoured, praised, and the utterly hated I am the peace of mankind I am a well-known citizen of this empty world I am a strange foreigner I am the mother of every war in families I am the substance and one without any substance" "I am mankind’s resurrection Those of this world who believe in me will live Though they will taste the mist of death If you, living citizen, believe in me You will never taste that mist, for I am life” "I am union and chaos I am in Tartarus and they rise up high to me I am judgment and release I am the self-controlled and the uncontrollable I am the mother of sin I am lust outwardly, yet within me is control I am completely spotless I am hearing for all, and my own speech is cryptic I am a mute of silence I am the voice who speaks an infinite stream of words I am the one who abides forever and dissolves" "I am the crowned, everlasting living one I am to be in a tomb dead I am then to be filled with life for ever I am the one who holds the keys I am he who holds the keys of death and Hell I am the good shepherd of all Who would give his life for his pearly white sheep" "I am the star who fell to the face of the black earth I am the woman weeping I am she who creates my bread and my mind within I am knowledge of my name I am the angel who cries out to the unseen sun I am named truth and immorality in the world" "I am the way, the truth, and the bread of life No one can fly to the sun except through me" "I am the hearing all hear I am speech undecipherable for human ears I am the name of the sound I am the sign of the letter that makes all letters I am the clear designation of the division" "I am a clear mirror to you I am a lamp to you who beholds me now I am a door to you since you knock at me" "I am alone, and have no one to judge my spirit" "I am Christ, the son of mankind I am he from you who is in your spirit I am to be despised by all For you that you may forget the wheel of change Do not still be divided now So that you will stop giving birth to darkness Whose black children are jealousy Burning wrath, freezing fear, consuming conflict And fleshly, empty desire I am an ineffable secret to you I am your only friend, Wisdom I am the providence of the pure sunlight I am the Virgin Spirit’s thought Raising you up to your honoured place. Rise up First, remember my words that you have now heard"
