VIII.—Further Progression of This Threefold Emanation;
Co-Existence with the Double Triad of a Seventh Existence.
And of those six powers,623
| 623 These
powers are thus arranged:
1. Mind and Intelligence: termed
also,—1. Heaven and Earth.
2. Voice and Name: termed
also,—2. Sun and Moon.
3. Ratiocination and Reflection:
termed also,—3. Air and Water. | and of the seventh which co-exists with
them, the first pair, Mind and Intelligence, he calls Heaven and
Earth. And that one of these, being of male sex, beholds from
above and takes care of his partner, but that the earth receives below
the rational fruits, akin to the earth, which are borne down from the
heaven. On this account, he says, the Logos, frequently looking
towards the things that are being generated from Mind and Intelligence,
that is, from Heaven and Earth, exclaims, “Hear, O heaven, and
give ear, O earth, because the Lord has spoken. I have brought forth
children, and exalted them; and these have rejected me.”
Now, he who utters these words, he says, is the seventh power—he
who stood, stands, and will stand; for he himself is cause of those
beauteous objects of creation which Moses commended, and said that they
were very good. But Voice and Name (the second of the three
pairs) are Sun and Moon; and Ratiocination and Reflection (the third of
the three pairs) are Air and Water. And in all these is
intermingled and blended, as I have declared, the great, the
indefinite, the (self-) existing power.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
