Welcome to cowboy classics with Scott Ballard.

Our work tonight, the thunder perfect mind.

I was sent forth from the power.

And I have come to those who reflect upon me.

And I have been found among those.

Who seek after me.

Look upon me, you who reflect upon me.

And you hearers, hear me, you who.

Are waiting for me.

Take me to yourselves and do not banish me from your sight.

Do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing.

Do not be ignorant of me, anywhere or anytime.

Be on your guard.

Do not be ignorant of me, for.

I am the first and the last.

I am the honored one and the scorned one.

I am the whore and the holy one.

I am the wife and the virgin.

I am the mother and the daughter.

I am the members of my mother.

I am the barren one and many are her sons. I am she whose wedding is great.

And I have not taken a husband. I am the midwife and she who does not bear. I am the solace of my labor pains.

I am the bride and the bridegroom, and it is my husband who begot me.

I am the mother of my father.

And the sister of my husband, and.

He is my offspring.

I am the slave of him who prepared me. I am the ruler of my offspring.

But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday, and he is my offspring, in due.

Time, and my powers is from him.

I am the staff of his power in his youth, and he is the.

Rod of my old age, and whatever.

He wills happens to me.

I am the silence that is incomprehensible.

And the idea whose remembrance is frequent.

I am the voice whose sound is manifold and the word whose appearance is multiple.

I am the utterance of my name. Why, you who hate me. Do you love me and hate those who love me?

You who deny me, confess me. And you confess me, deny me.

You who tell the truth about me, lie about me, and you have lied about me.

Tell the truth about me.

You who know me, be ignorant of me. And those who have not known me.

Let them know me, for I am nothing. Knowledge and ignorance.

I am shame and boldness. I am shameless. I don't have a shame.

I am strength and I am fear.

I am war and peace. Give heed to me. I am the one who is disgraced and the great one.

Give heed to my poverty and my wealth.

Do not be arrogant to me when I am cast out upon the earth.

And you will find me and those who are to come.

And do not look upon me on that dung heap, nor go and leave me cast out, and you will find me in the kingdoms.

And do not look upon me when I am cast out among those who are disgraced and in the least places.

Or laugh at me, and do not cast me out among those who are slain in violence. But I, I am compassionate and I am cruel. Be on your guard. Do not hate my obedience and do not love my self control in my weakness. Do not forsake me and do not be afraid of my power.

For why do you despise my fear and curse my pride? But I am she who exists in all fears and strength and trembling. I am she who is weak and I am well in a pleasant fleece. I am senseless and I am wise.

Why have you hated me in your counsels?

For I shall be silent among those.

Who are silent, and I shall appear and speak.

Why then have you hated hated me, you Greeks? Because I am a barbarian among the barbarians.

For I am the wisdom of the.

Greeks and the knowledge of the barbarians.

I am the judgment of the Greeks and of the barbarians. I am the one whose image is.

Great in Egypt and the one who.

Has no image, no image among the barbarians. I am the one who has been hated everywhere and who has been loved everywhere. I am the one whom they call life and you have called death. I am the one whom they call law and you have called lawlessness. I am the one whom you have pursued and I am the one whom you have seized. I am the one whom you have scattered and you have gathered me together. I am the one before whom you.

Have been ashamed and you have been shameless to me. I am she who does not keep festival and I am she whose festivals are many.

I. I am godless and I am the one whose God who's great.

I am the one whom you have reflected upon and you have scorned me. I am unlearned and they learn from me. I am the one that you have despised and you reflect upon me. I am the one whom you have hidden from. You appear to me, but whenever you hide yourselves, I myself will appear. For whenever you appear, I myself will.

Hide from you those who have you. And senselessly take me from grief and.

Take me to yourselves from understanding and.

Grief, and take me to yourselves from places that are ugly and in ruin.

And rob from those which are good, even though in ugliness, out of shame.

Take me to your sibyls shamelessly and.

Out of shamelessness and shame upbraid my.

Members and yourselves and come forward to me. You who know me and you who know my members and establish the great ones among the small first creatures. Come forward to childhood and do not despise it, because it is small and it is little. And do not turn away greatnesses in some parts, for the smallnesses are known from the greatnesses. Why do you curse me and honor me? You have wounded and you have had mercy. Do not separate me from the first.

Ones whom you have known, and do not cast anyone out nor turn anyone away. Turn you away what is mine? For I am the first ones. Know me.

Lie on the mind of.

I am the knowledge of my inquiry and the finding of those who seek after me, and the command of those who ask me, and the power of the powers in my knowledge, of the angels who.

Have sent my word, and of gods.

And seasons by my counsel and of spirits, of every man who exists with me and the women who dwell within me. I am the one who is honored and who is praised and who is despised scornfully. I am peace and war has come because of me. I am an alien and a citizen. I am the substance and the one.

Who has no substance. Those who are without association with me are ignorant of me, and those who.

Are in my substance are the ones who know me.

Those who are close to me have been ignorant of me.

Those who are far away from me are the ones who have known me.

On the day when I am close.

To you, you are far away from.

Me, and on the day when I.

Am far away from you, I am close to you.

I am. I am the father, I am of.

The creation of the spirits, quest of the soul.

I am control and the uncontrollable. I am the union and the dissolution.

I am the abiding and I am the dissolution. I am the one below and they.

Come up to me.

I am the judgment.

I am sinless and the rub is.

In derived from me.

I am left in appearance and self control exists within me.

I am the hearing which is attainable.

To everyone in the speech which cannot be grasped. I am a man who does not speak, and great is my multitude of words.

Hear me, gentleness, and learn of me and roughness.

I am she who cries out, and I am cast forth upon the face of the earth.

I prepare the bread.

Prepare the bread in my mind within.

I am knowledge of my name.

I am the one who cries out.

And others walk in, walk in the field of my I am the one defense.

I am the one who is called truth and iniquity. You honor me, and you whisper against me. You are vanquished. Judge them before they give judgment against.

You, because the judge and partiality exist in you.

If you are condemned by this one, who will acquit you, or if you.

Are acquitted by him, who will be able to detain you.

For what is inside of you is.

What is outside of you.

And the one who fashions you on.

The outside is the one who shaped the inside of you.

And what you see outside of you, you see inside of you.

It is visible, and it is your garment. Hear me, you hearers, and learn of.

My words, you who know me.

I am the hearing that is attached.

I am the speech that cannot be grasped. I am the name of the sound.

And the sound of a name.

I have a sign of a letter and the designation of the division. And I will speak his name.

Look then at his words and all the writings which have been completed.

Give he, then, you hearers, and you also the angels, and those who have.

Been sent, and you, spirits who have arisen from the dead. For I am the one who alone.

Exists, and I have no one who will judge me. Many are the pleasant forms exist in.

Numerous sins and consistencies, and disgraceful passions.

And fleeting pleasures which man embrace. Become sober and go up to their rest in place, and they will fight. Find me there, and they will live, and they will not die.

Again.
