The One

The One

The One is the invisible Spirit. We should not think of it as a god or like a god. For it is greater than a god, because it has nothing over it and no lord above it. It does not exist within anything inferior to it, since everything exists within it, for it established itselfโ€ฆ

The One is not corporeal and it is not incorporeal.
The One is not large and it is not small.
It is impossible to say,
How much is it?
What kind it is?
For no one can understand it.

The One is not among the things that exist, but is much greaterโ€ฆ

(From The Secret Book of John 2-3, translated by Marvin Meyer)
