68. One exists either in this world or in the resurrection or in the transitional° regions. May it not occur that I be found in (the latter)! (In) this world there is essentially the good and the evil. Its goods are not good and its evils are not evil. (Ph 9) Yet there is evil after this world, which is truly evil: that which is called the transition— it is death. While we are in this world it is appropriate for us to be born in the resurrection, so that if we are divested of the flesh we shall find ourselves in the repose (and¹) not wander in the transition. For many go astray on the way. Thus it is good to come forth from the world before humankind was caused to transgress. (¹asyndeton; Th 60, Rev/Ap 20:5; Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals: ‘Only that life end not before I am born.’) 69. Some indeed neither wish nor have the ability. Yet others if they wish receive no benefit, because they were not accustomed to practice. For desire makes them transgressors. Yet not desiring righteousness shall conceal from them both the wish and (their) lack of accomplishment. (Hsün Tzu, 3rd century BC China: ‘An inferior man can become a superior man, but he does not want to.’) 70. An Apostolic¹ saw in a vision some who were confined in a house of fire, crying out [in the] air with a fiery [voice], cast in the flames [for an era°]. There is water in [...], and they proclaim to themselves: [...] The waters can[not] save us [from death! Misled by] their desire, they received [death as] chastisement— this which is called the [outermost] darkness. (¹probably Philip himself; Ps 66:12, Mt 25:30, Lk 16:19-31!, Rev/Ap 20:14-15) 71. The enemy [comes] forth in water with fire. The soul and the spirit have come forth [in] water and fire with light, which pertain to of the Son/Daughter of the Bridal-Chamber. The fire is the Chrism, the light is the fire. I do not speak of this fire that has no form, but rather the other one— whose form is white, which is made of beautiful light and which bestows splendor. (Isa 43:2, Ph 26 66
28 58) 72. The truth did not come unto the world naked, but rather it has come in symbolic° imagery. (The world) will not receive it in any other fashion. There is a rebirth° together with a reborn imagery. It is truly appropriate not to be reborn thru the imagery.¹ (Jn 3) What is the resurrection with its imagery?— it is appropriate to arise thru the imagery.¹ The Bridal-Chamber with its imagery?— it is appropriate to come into the truth thru the imagery, which is this restoration°. It is appropriate for those born not only of the words ‘the Father with the Son with the Sacred Spirit’, but (moreover) born of them [...²] themselves. Whoever is not begotten of them, will have the name also taken from him. (Ph 63) Yet one receives them in the Chrism of the fullness in the power of the cross³, which the Apostles call: the right with the left. (Ph 9 44) For this-one is no longer a Christic but rather a Christ (Isa 30:21, Ac 3:21; ¹‘spiritual rebirth’ ≠ ‘corporeal resurrection’: see Ph 130!; ²www.metalog.org/files/ ph_interlin/ph072.html; ³anti-Gnostic) 73. The Lord [did] everything as sacrament: a Baptism with a Chrism with a Eucharist with an Atonement with a [Holy] Bridal- Chamber. 74a. He says: ‘I came to make [the inner] as the [outer (and¹) the] outer as the [inner.’ (=Th 22!!) He spoke of] everything in that place, which (is) there [above] this place, by means of symbolic [images. ...] (¹asyndeton; Ph 72) 74b. Those who say [‘I'm a Christic’] come from the place beyond [...] confusion. (Ph 10 18 22 97 134, Tr 3 ff.) 74c. He who is manifest [from that place] which is there above, is called ‘he who is below’. And He who is hidden, is He who is above him. For it is good that they say ‘the inner and the outer, together with what is outside of the outer’. Because of this, the Lord called 67
