Out of the depths of the deity a plan for the universe blazed up. |
 |
And -- there were: no primal beginnings, no archangels, angels; there were no human being, animals, grasses, dry land; the Deity itself had not yet inclined to the place of the world: it was still being postponed by the collapse: it formed a hole in the self-creation of spiritual beings; but the collapses of the spiritual world are -- gifts[dary]; they turned them into nothingness, like the heat of life, -- the Thrones; and the Elohim condensed the heat:-- a consciousness of heat and of the sphere formed inside the Elohim; the selfconsciousness of the Elohim now penetrated itself; and -- sensed its own being (the plan of physical life), like a blazing sphere; and it looked with its eyes into itself: the eyes of the sphere -- the coincidences of Elohimic thoughts -- sensed themselves, like the selfness of the body: this was the beginning of the Primal Beginnings they were incarnated. |

Their works are -- sculptured molds: warmth (or the conceptions of the physical organs); we -- the consciousness of the organs -- were outside of the organs as thoughts of the thoughts of the Primal Beginnings. |
 |
The activity of life of the Primal Beginnings, warmth, was the sum of thermic fluctuations in time: times flowed out of the Primal Beginnings. |
 |
The first day flowed by: it was called Saturn.* |
