I saw a newborn child, and questioned it to find out who it was. And the child answered me saying, “I am the Word.” – Valentinus, Fragment 7

Christ was known, in part, even by Socrates, for he is the Word who is in every man. – Justin Martyr, Second Apology

Knowledge is separated from its object by some degree of otherness. But prior to that knowledge, which knows another as being itself other, there is the unitary connection with the gods that is natural and indivisible. – Iamblichus, On the Egyptian Mysteries

The logos is a collagist. – Terence McKenna

Having conceived that nothing is impossible to you, consider yourself immortal and able to understand everything, all art, all learning, the temper of every living thing. Go higher than every height and lower than every depth. Collect in yourself all the sensations of what has been made, of fire and water, dry and wet; be everywhere at once, on land, in the sea, in heaven; be not yet born, be in the womb, be young, old, dead, beyond death. – Corpus Hermeticum
