what in you sees and observes is instead the Mind of god father, Logos
of God)
In § 12 we read:
ò dè pànton patèr o Noùs, on zoè kai phòs... (the of all [things] father
the Mind being life and light... Mind being life and light [is] the father
of all [things]
In § 21:
ek photòs kai zoès sunèsteken ò patèr tòn òlon... (of light and of life is
made the father of all [things]... the father of all [things] is made of light
and of life)
In § 22 God says of himself:

eleèmosi, tòis eusebùsi... (am close to I [care for], the Intellect, the
saints, the good, the pure ones, the merciful, the pious... I, the Intellect,
am close to [care for] the saints, the good, the pure, the merciful, the
pious)

falling forces of the body reach the end)

with [in] the error... you walking in error [must] convert)
Paragraph 31 introduces the prayer addressed to God where, among other
invocations, one also reads:
àghios ò theòs kai patèr ton òlon...(Holy the God and Father of all
