51a And their place of rest is their fullness. All that have emanated from the Father, then, are fullnesses, and the roots of all that have emanated from him are within the one who caused them all to grow. He gave them their destinies. Then each one was revealed, so that through their own thought […] for the place to which they send their thought is their root, which takes them up through all the heights, up to the Father. (GTR) 51b They embrace his head, which is rest for them, and they’re grasped, approaching him, as though to say that they receive his expression by means of kisses. But they’re not revealed [42] in this way, because they neither exalted themselves, nor wanted the Father’s glory, nor did they think of him as trivial or harsh or wrathful; but he’s without evil, unperturbed, and sweet. He knows every realm before they’ve come into existence, and he has no need to be instructed. (GTR)
