A written space has been voided of its writing, so that the Gnostic place displaces a place. A new poetic place, or image of voice, empties out the place in the same spot. Into this emptiness, a new fullness is placed, but a revisionary fullness, one that postpones or defers the future. (70)
Gnostic writing, when strong, is strong because it is super-mimetic, because it confronts and seeks to overthrow the very strongest of all texts, the Jewish Bible. (71)
Valentinisus of Alexandria, who abandoned the Great Church i Rom...rejecting the sacraments because he had seen that perfect cognition of the origins alone was salvation, the form of that knowledge, the Gnosis, revealed truly that the Creation had degraded tee very Godhead. (72)
