The Gnostic's Creed (text)

<Religious texts

I acknowledge one great invisible God, unrevealable, unmarked, ageless and unproclaimable; the unknown Father, the Aeon of the aeons, who brought forth in the silence with his providence: the Father, the Mother, and the Son.

I acknowledge the Christos, the self-begotten living son, the glory of the Father and the virtue of the Mother, who given birth from the virginal and ineffable mother was made incarnate, the Perfect one. Who in the word of the Great Invisible God, came down from above to annul the emptiness of this age and restore the fullness to the Aeon.

I acknowledge the Holy Spirit, the Bride of the Christos, the Mother of the Aeons, the great virginal and ineffable Mother who proceeded from herself a gift of herself out of the silence of the Unknown God.

I acknowledge the Light of the one church in every place: Interior, Invisible, Secret and Universal, the foundation of the lights of the great living God.

I seek liberation of my perfection from the corruptions of the world and look to the gathering of the sparks of Light from the sea of forgetfulness. Amen.
