The Truth, Itself and the False

By Richard Mather



Creation 1


before the beginning

was darkness:

mysterious non-being,

not one, not many


from the darkness

came a great radiance,

truth-as-one: being

identical with itself


and also sophia,

spirit of the two, mother

of the ten thousand things:

the indefinite multiple



Creation 2


at the beginning

a multiplicity

of darkness: ur-chaos

of mathematical

proportions that

is neither one nor many


from the chaos

came a polarity:

being or strife

pregnant with itself,

full of disorder


and also harmony,

barren non-being,

the one who makes

things disappear

by ordering them
