conversation as conversion
Below is a passage from one of the apocryphal early Christian codices called “The Gospel of Philip:”
“It is impossible to see anything in the real realm
unless you become it.
Not so in the (lower) world. You see the sun without being the sun,
See sky and earth but are not them.
This is the truth of the (lower) world.
In the other (place of) truth you are what you see.
If you see spirit, you are spirit.
If you look at the anointed, you are the anointed.
If you see the father, you will be father.
In this world you see everything but yourself,
but there, you look at yourself and are what you see.”
