10 And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending. Why do you lie since you belong to me?
11 The soul answered and said, I saw you. You did not see me nor recognize me. I served you as a garment and you did not know me.
12 When it said this, it [the soul] went away rejoicing greatly.
13 Again it came to the third power, which is called ignorance.
14 The power questioned the soul, saying, Where are you going? In wickedness are you bound. But you are bound; do not judge!
15 And the soul said, Why do you judge me, although I have not judged?
16 I was bound, though I have not bound.
17 I was not recognized. But I have recognized that the All is being dissolved, both the earthly things and the heavenly.
