Dialogue Between Thunder and the Lamb Part 1
"I am the absolute First and the absolute Last
I am the esteemed and scorned
I am the shameless woman and the holy elect
I am the wife and virgin
I am the unseen mum and ever-present daughter
I am my mother’s members
I am a midwife and do not give birth to any
and my lover brought me forth
I am the holy solace of my pains of labour
I am the bride and the groom
I am the virgin mother of my mighty father
I am my husband’s sister
and he is my first begotten offspring and my king
I am a queen of my seed
I am a lowly slave of the one who prepared me
I am the staff of his might
and he the olive tree rod of my quite advanced age
I am a silence unknown
I am an eternal idea remembered much
I am the sound of my name
I am the soft and sweet voice whose sound is manifold
I am the word whose fine appearance is multiple"
“I am the bright Alpha and the Omega
I am the very First and Last
I am the Beginning and the very end
I am with your soul forever
I am the father, I am the kind mother
I am the ever-present child
I am the incorruptible and the pure
I am the beloved of life
I am the first offspring who was begotten
I am the righteous one of life
I am the son of the infinite Father
I speak even as I have heard
I command as I received the loud order
I will now show you even as I have found”
"I am the sun of knowledge and mist of ignorance
I am shame and fearlessness
I am the forever shameless and the one ashamed
I am strength and fear themselves
I am bloody war and ever-fleeting peace of all
I am the disgraced and the grand being of the all"
"I am the remembrance of the Pleroma
I am the great abundance of light
They who follow me will not walk in darkness
They will have the life’s light, for I’m the world’s light"
"I am a woman existing in every known fear
I am the mindless and wise
I am in my might whenever I fall and plummet
I am carefree in a pleasant garden filled with plants"
“I am the door you now see
If anyone goes through me, they will be saved
And will go in and out and find the garden"
