“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)
In order to understand this phenomenon correctly, one has to comprehend well all that was said in the previous chapters: that God-the-Father is One Consciousness and, at the same time, He is a 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.
