“He is motionless, He resides in calm and silence. … He directs His desires into His Flow of Light. He is the Source of this Flow of Light…” (The Apocryphon of John, 2:25-4:25)
God-the-Father is One Consciousness and, at the same time, He contains the totality of former human Consciousnesses merged into Him. These Consciousnesses were individualized in the past, but after attaining full spiritual self-realization and merging into God-the-Father, They dwell in His Abode in the state of mutual mergence, forming a single Whole. This idea is expressed in the Gospel of John (1:4): “In Him (in God-the-Father) was life, and the life was the Light of Men”. There is a similar statement in the Gospel of Philip (87): “The Sons of the Bridal Chamber (the Abode of the Creator, where one merges with Him in Love) have one and the same name (i.e. They all are God-the-Father now)”. But They — former human beings who became consubstantial with God-the-Father — are capable of individualizing Themselves again for a time in the form of the Holy Spirit if it is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling a certain task of God-the-Father.
