Apocryphote of the Day: 2-12-08
"'Behold, I shall reveal to you everything, my beloved. Understand and know that you may come forth from the body and be as I am. Behold, I shall reveal to you what is hidden. Reach out your hand and take hold of me.' At once I reached out my hands, but I did not find him as I thought he would be. After this I heard him say, 'Understand, and take hold of me.' Then I understood, and I was afraid, yet I was exceedingly joyful." Second Apocalypse of James 57.3-20 (unknown Gnostic affiliation).
