Simon MagusThinkers

The Flaming sword (n.) that ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠turns every way to guard the tree of life is, for Simon Magus, blood turning into semen and milk: the force that grows a spark into a boundless aeon.

Pneuma (n.) is, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in Simon Magus, a force that begets itself and grows by itself: its own mother, sister, bride, daughter, son and father, a single root of the whole.
