in their aspect, and that further they spend another six months facing to the right and

CHAPTER 29
1. "It came to pass then thereafter that I ascended to the veils of the thirteenth æon. It
came to pass then, when I had arrived at their veils, that they drew apart of their own
accord and opened themselves for me.
2. I entered in into the thirteenth æon and found Pistis Sophia below the thirteenth æon
all alone and no one of them with her. And she sat in that region grieving and mourning,

four-and-twenty emanations, which the great invisible Forefather and the two great
triple-powers have emanated."
