22 His Wisdom meditates on the Word,his teaching speaks it,his knowledge has revealed it,his patience is a crown upon it,his joy is in harmony with it,his glory has exalted it,his image has revealed it,his rest has received it,his love made a body around it,his faith embraced it. (GTR) 23 In this way, the Word of the Father goes out in all, as the fruit [24][of] his heart and an expression of his will. But it supports all. It chooses them and also takes the expression of all, purifying them, returning them to the Father and to the Mother, Jesus of infinite sweetness. (GTR) 24a The Father reveals his bosom, and his bosom is the Holy Spirit. He reveals what’s hidden of himself; what’s hidden of himself is his Son – so that through the mercies of the Father, the generations may know him and cease their work in searching for the Father, resting in him and knowing that this is the rest. He’s filled the need and dissolved its appearance – its appearance is the world in which it served, because where there’s envy and strife there’s need, but where there’s Unity there’s completion. (GTR) 24b Since need came into being because the Father wasn’t known, when the Father is known, from then on, need will no longer exist. As someone’s ignorance dissolves when they gain knowledge, and as darkness dissolves when the light appears, [25] so also need dissolves in completion. So the appearance is revealed from then on, but it’ll dissolve in the harmony of Unity. (GTR)
