Zoroaster, too: “Who first sprang from Mind, clothing the one Fire with the other Fire, binding them together, that he might mingle the fountainous craters, while preserving unsullied the brilliance of His own Fire.” “Containing all things in the one summit of his Hyparxis, He Himself subsists wholly beyond.” It is almost…
