First the (Point), the Monad, Bythus (the Deep), the unknown and unknowable Father.

Then the
(Triangle), Bythus and the first emanated pair or Duad, Nous (Mind) and its syzygy Aletheia
(Truth). Then the (Square), the dual Duad, Tetractys or Quaternary, two males ||, the Logos
(Word) and Anthrpos (Man), two females, their syzygies, = Zo (Life) and Ekklesia (the Church or
Assembly), Seven in all. The Triangle the Potentiality of Spirit, the Square the Potentiality of
Matter; the Vertical Straight Line the Potency of Spirit, and the Horizontal the Potency of Matter.
Next comes the Pentagram , the Pentad, the mysterious symbol of the Manasputras or Sons of
Wisdom, which together with their syzygies make 10, or the Decad; and last of all, the Hexalpha or
interlaced Triangles the Hexad, which with their syzygies make 12, or the Dodecad. Such are the
Contents of the Pleroma or Completion, the Ideas in the Divine Mind, 28 in all, for Bythus or the
Father is not reckoned, as it is the Root of all. The two small circles within the Pleroma are the
syzygy Christos-Pneuma (Christ and the Holy Spirit); these are after-emanations, and, as such, from
one aspect, typify the descent of Spirit to inform and evolve Matter, which essentially proceeds
from the same source . . . The Circle of the Pleroma is bounded by a circumference emanated from
Bythus (the Point), this is called the Horus (Boundary), Staurus (Stock, Stake, or Cross) and
Metcheus (Participator); it shuts off the Pleroma (or Completion) from the Hystrema (the
Inferiority or Incompletion), the larger from the smaller Circle, the Unmanifested from the
Manifested. Within the Circle of the Hysterma is the Square of primordial Matter, or Chaos,
emanated by Sophia, called the Ektrma (or Abortion). Above this is a Triangle, primordial Spirit,
called the Common Fruit of the Pleroma, or Jesus, for to all below the Pleroma it appears as a unity.
Notice how the Triangle and Square of the Hysterma are a reflection of the Triangle and Square of
the Pleroma. Finally, the plane of the paper, enclosing and penetrating all, is Sig (Silence).
