In 1947, in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, a jar containing 2,000 year-old papyruses were unearthed. These Gnostic texts included an enigmatic poem beleived to be spoken by Sophia, the divine female power. |
| Look on me, you who reflect upon me And you hearers, hear me. I am the one whom they call Life and you call Death |
 |
 |
I am Darkness I am Light I am the First and the Last I am the Whore and the Holy One |

| Give heed then, Hearers, and the Angels And Spirits who have risen from the dead: What is inside of you is outside of you And the one who fashions the outside Is the one who shaped the inside |
 |
|---|
| Death I am
And Deathlessness |
 |
What is Not
And that which Is |

| For many are the forms of sins and fleeting pleasures men embrace until they sober and find their resting place. |
 |
And they will find me there. And they will live. And will not die again And will not die again |
