The Gnostic gospel goes on to say that "There was always a paradoxical cognizance of duality in experiencing this 'self within a self'...By all rational perception, man clearly was not God, and yet in essential truth, was Godly." The reader can seek detailed information on this subject from the Nag Hammadi Library via the Internet.
