them: Take your destiny! I come not to your regions from this moment onwards. I have
become a stranger unto you for ever, being about to go unto the region of my
inheritance.
11. "And when the soul shall have said this, the receivers of the Light fly with it on high and
lead it into the æons of the Fate, it giving every region its apology and its seals,--which I
will tell you at the expansion of the universe. And it giveth the counterfeiting spirit to
the rulers and telleth them the mystery of the bonds with which it is bound to it, and
sayeth unto them: There have ye your counterfeiting spirit! I come not to your region
from this moment onwards. I have become a stranger unto you for ever. And it giveth
every one his seal and his apology.
12. "And when the soul shall have said this, the receivers of the Light fly with it on high and
lead it out of the æons of the Fate and lead it up into all the æons [above], it giving to
every region its apology and the apology of all the regions and the seals to the tyrants of
the king, the Adamas. And it giveth the apology of all the rulers of all the regions of the
Left,--whose collective apologies and seals I will one day tell you when I shall tell you the
expansion of the universe.
13. "And moreover those receivers lead that soul to the Virgin of Light and that soul giveth
the Virgin of Light the seals and the glory of the songs of praise. And the Virgin of Light
and also the seven other virgins of the Light together prove that soul and find together
their signs in it and their seals and their baptisms and their chrism. And the Virgin of
Light sealeth that soul and the receivers of the Light baptize that soul and give it the
spiritual chrism; and every one of the virgins of the Light sealeth it with her seals.
14. "And moreover the receivers of the Light hand it over to the great Sabaōth, the Good,
who is at the gate of the Life in the region of those of the Right, who is called 'Father.'
And that soul giveth him the glory of his songs of praise and his seals and his apologies.
And Sabaōth, the Great and Good, sealeth it with his seals. And the soul giveth its
science and the glory of the songs of praise and the seals to the whole region of those of
the Right. They all seal it with their seals; and Melchisedec, the great Receiver of the
Light who is in the region of those of the Right, sealeth that soul and all the receivers of
Melchisedec seal that soul and lead it into the Treasury of the Light.
15. "And it giveth the glory and the honour and the laud of the songs of praise and all the
seals of all the regions of the Light. And all those of the region of the Treasury of the
Light seal it with their seals and it goeth unto the region of the Inheritance."
