"The way that can be told,
Is not the constant way;
The name that can be named
It not the eternal name."
-Lao Tzu
"He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or
something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one
lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything
exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need
anything. For he is total perfection. He did not lack anything, that he might be completed
by it; rather he is always completely perfect in light. He is illimitable, since there is
no one prior to him to set limits to him. He is unsearchable, since there exists no one
prior to him to examine him. He is immeasurable, since there was no one prior to him to
measure him. He is invisible, since no one saw him. He is eternal, since he exists
eternally. He is ineffable, since no one was able to comprehend him to speak about him. He
is unnameable, since there is no one prior to him to give him a name.
"He is immeasurable light, which is pure, holy (and) immaculate. He is ineffable,
being perfect in incorruptibility. (He is) not in perfection, nor in blessedness, nor in
divinity, but he is far superior. He is not corporeal nor is he incorporeal. He is neither
large nor is he small. There is no way to say, 'What is his quantity?' or, 'What is his
quality?', for no one can know him. He is not someone among (other) beings, rather he is
far superior. Not that he is (simply) superior, but his essence does not partake in the
aeons nor in time. For he who partakes in an aeon was prepared beforehand. Time was not
apportioned to him, since he does not receive anything from another, for it would be
received on loan. For he who precedes someone does not lack, that he may receive from him.
For rather, it is the latter that looks expectantly at him in his light.
"For the perfection is majestic. He is pure, immeasurable mind. He is an
aeon-giving aeon. He is life-giving life. He is a blessedness-giving blessed one. He is
knowledge-giving knowledge. He is goodness-giving goodness. He is mercy and
redemption-giving mercy. He is grace-giving grace, not because he possesses it, but
because he gives the immeasurable, incomprehensible light."
- The Secret Revelation of St. John
"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
-John 14:6
"I and the Father are one."
-John 10:30
Christos is the salvaic Aeon which is literally the salvaic aspect of the Unknown Father and depending on the myth the first emanation from him,the Son. Obviously Christos incarnated as the man Jesus Christ.
This does not mean that only christians can be saved it means that all people who are saved, or liberated, do so through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, The Aeon (or god) Christos the salvaic aspect of the ONE.
No one comes to the Unknown Father but by Christos regardless of religion. Christos with the help of his consort Holy Sophia (Holy Wisdom) grants gnosis about the Unknowable.
