The Thunder and the Perfect Mind 

"I was sent out from the power 

and have come to you who study me

and am found by you who seek me.

Look at me, you who study me,

and you who hear, hear me.

You waiting for me, take me into yourselves.

Don't banish me from your vision.

Don't let hatred enter your voice against me, or let

anger enter your hearing.

In no place, in no time, be unknowing of me. Be alert.

Don't be unknowing of me."

Anonymous Gnostic Revealer (2nd - 3rd Centuries CE)

(1st verse of 3, translated by George W. McRae)
