Book III — The Aphoresmata of The Logos

  1. Whatever exists, exists as a Whole, as God, or is a part, or emanation from God.
  2. In the Whole as an angel, unconscious of the Whole, is an undescended spirit.
  3. Parted from the Whole, yet a portion of the Whole, and unconscious of the Whole, is the Law of Differentiation.
  4. Parted from the Whole, with the Whole, yet external to the Whole, is a descended or fallen spirit.
  5. Parted from the Whole, with the Whole, yet conscious of the Whole and knowing it has fallen away from, and that it should, and can, return to the Whole, is the Law of Reascension.
  6. That which is parted from the Whole, turns again to the Whole, is the Law of True Repentance.
  7. That which was parted from the Whole, and has again returned to the Whole, is a part of the Whole, remains so forever as a blest spirit, and is the Law of Perfect Atonement.”
