Lesson 37

That, then, which engenders all things is Itself unengendered.

Excerpt

That, then, which engenders all things is Itself unengendered; that by which all things are evolved is Itself untouched by evolution. Self-engendered and self-evolved, It has in Itself the elements of substance, appearance, wisdom, strength, dispersion and cessation. Yet it would be a mistake to call It by any one of these names.
