more than in the [first] sphere.

2. "And all the rulers and all those who are in the Fate, were thrown into agitation and fell
on one another and were in exceeding great fear on seeing the great light that was
about me. And they gazed on my vesture of light and saw the mystery of their name on
my vesture and fell into still greater agitation; and they were in great fear, saying: 'How
hath the lord of the universe passed through us without our knowing?' And all the
bonds of their regions and of their orders and of their houses were unloosed; they all

came at once, fell down, adored before me and sang praises all together to the interiors

Forefather, and of the three great triple-powers. And because of the great fear of their
agitation, the great Forefather, he and the three triple-powers, kept on running hither
and thither in his region, and they could not close all their regions because of the great
fear in which they were. And they agitated all their æons together and all their spheres
and all their orders, fearing and being greatly agitated because of the great light which
