The Letter of Siluanús to his bio-son 4

Furthermore, I shall speak of what is more elevated than this: the Mind [~the spirit of Truth], with respect to actual being (’iysh), is in a place, which means it is in the body; but with respect to thought, the Mind is not [~confined] within a place. For how can it be [~confined] within a place, when it contemplates every place? [1 Qorinthíym 2:15] But we are able to mention what is more elevated than this: for do not think in your heart that the Power exists [~confined] within a place. If you could localize the Sovereign of all into a place, then it would be fitting for you to say that the place is more exalted than He Who dwells in it. For that which contains is more exalted than that which is contained. For there is no place which is called incorporeal [~without a tangible body]. For it is not right for us to say that the Power is corporeal [~confined in a tangible body], because the consequence (would be) that we (must then) attribute both increase and decrease to the corporeal, and also that he (the Power) who (would be) subject to these [~attributes] would not remain imperishable.

Now, it is not difficult to acknowledge the Creator of all creatures, but it is impossible to comprehend [~to contain in defined thought] the likeness of this One [~the Power]. For it is difficult, not only for men to comprehend Yâ-hwéh, but it is (also) difficult for every being of the Power, (even) the envoys and the chief envoys. It is necessary to acknowledge Yâ-hwéh as He is. You cannot recognize Yâ-hwéh through anyone except the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, Who has the Image of the Father, for this Image reveals the true likeness in correspondence to That Which is revealed. The King is not usually known apart from the Image.

Consider these things about Yâ-hwéh: He is in every place; on the other hand, He is [~contained] within no place. With respect to the Power, to be sure, He is in every place; but with respect to the Power, He is [~contained] within no place. So then, it is possible to know of Yâ-hwéh a little. With respect to His Power, He fills every place, but in the exaltation of His Power, nothing contains Him. Everything is [~contained] in Yâ-hwéh, but Yâ-hwéh is not [~contained] within anything.

Now what is it to know Yâ-hwéh? Yâ-hwéh is all which is in the Truth. But it is as impossible to look at the Anointed Yâhuwshúa as [~physically] at the greater luminary orb. Yâ-hwéh sees everyone; no one looks at Him. But the Anointed Yâhuwshúa, without being jealous, receives and gives. He is the Light of the Father, as He gives Light without being jealous. In this manner, He gives Light to every place.

And all is the Anointed Yâhuwshúa, He Who has inherited all from the Existent One. For the Anointed Yâhuwshúa is the Idea of incorruptibility, and He is the Light Which is shining undefiled, because the [~true] luminary Orb (shines) on every impure place, and yet It is not defiled; so it is with the Anointed Yâhuwshúa: even if He is in the deficiency, yet He is without deficiency. And even if one has been begotten, he is (still) unborn; so it is with the Anointed Yâhuwshúa: if, in one part He is comprehensible, in the other He is incomprehensible with respect to His actual Being. The Anointed Yâhuwshúa is all. He who does not possess all is unable to know the Anointed Yâhuwshúa.

My son, do not dare to say a word against this One, and do not confine the Power of all to mental images, so one who condemns Him might not be condemned by the one who condemns. Indeed, it is good to ask and to discern Who Yâ-hwéh is. Reason [~logic] and Mind [~the spirit of Truth] are male names. Indeed, let him who wishes to know about this One, quietly and reverently ask. For there is no small danger in speaking about these things, since you know that you will be judged on the basis of everything that you say. [MattithYâ ́huw 12:36-37] And understand by this, that one who is in darkness will not be able to see anything unless he accepts the Light and recovers (his) sight by means of it. Examine yourself (to see) whether you entirely have the Light, so that, if you ask about these things, you may understand how you will escape [~darkness]. For many are seeking into darkness, and they grope about, wishing to understand, since no Light is there for them.
