9 A thousand times men wonder why these heights and depths, these light hearts and these sad, are found in every life.
10 They do not know that there are teachers everywhere, each busy with a God-appointed task, and driving home to human hearts the truth.
11 But this is true, and every one receives the lessons that he needs.
12 And Mary said, Today I am in exaltation great; my thoughts and all my life seem lifted up; why am I thus inspired?
13 Salome replied, This is a day of exaltation; day of worship and of praise; a day when, in a measure, we may comprehend our Father-God.
14 Then let us study God, the One, the Three, the Seven.
15 Before the worlds were formed all things were One; just Spirit, Universal Breath.
16 And Spirit breathed, and that which was not manifest became the Fire and Thought of heaven, the Father-God, the Mother-God.
17 And when the Fire and Thought of heaven in union breathed, their son, their only son, was born. This son is Love whom men have called the Christ.
18 Men call the Thought of heaven the Holy Breath.
