"That Light, He said, am I, thy God, Mind, prior to Moist Nature which appeared from Darkness; the Light-Word (Logos) [that appeared] from Mind is Son of God." "Know that what sees in thee and hears is the Lord's Word (Logos); but Mind is Father-God. Not separate are they the one from other; just in their union [rather] is it Life consist." "So, understand the Light [He answered], and make friends with it." (The Corpus Hermeticum/Poemandres, the Shepherd of Men)
