35. "Just as Creation is one within itself, however, so is all life, being and existence one within itself.
36. "It is by the law of Creation that all humans, plants, animals and all life are one in themselves.
37. "A person may believe that everything is two or three, but that is not so, because everything is one.
38. "Whatever people believe to be two or three is actually one, so they should make everything that is two or three into one.
39. "Since the spirit in a person is part of Creation, it is one with Creation; consequently it is not two.
40. "And since the body is a part of the spirit in a different form and matter, it is therefore one with the spirit; consequently it is not two.
41. "The teachings state that there is a unity and not, in any way or form, a duality or trinity.
42. "If it appears to people that there is a duality or trinity, then they are the victims of deception, for they do not think logically but according to human knowledge.
43. "But if they think according to the knowledge of the spirit, they find the logic, which is also in the law.
44. "Only human thinking can be incorrect, not the laws of Creation.
45. "For this reason, it is said that everything emanates from a unity, and a duality seems apparent only because humans, in their limited thinking, cannot grasp the truth.
46. "Since everything is a unity and everything emanates from it, no duality or trinity whatsoever can exist because it would violate the laws of Creation.
47. "Therefore people should make the two or three into one and think and act according to the laws of Creation.
48. "Only in ignorance does a person fabricate a duality or trinity and give offence to the laws of Creation.
49. "When a person aligns everything into this unity, making everything into one, and then says to a mountain, 'Move away,' then it will move away.
50. "When everything is one in Creation, in its laws, in the creatures and in matter, it is without error.
51. "When a wise man says there are always two of everything, he means that they are one within themselves and one together.
52. "It is only two in appearance, because in itself and also together it is always one.
53. "Therefore evil is one in itself because it is also good in itself. Likewise, good is one in itself because it is just as much evil in itself.
54. "Since even when apart they are one and a unity, together they are also one and a unity, for this is the law of Creation.
55. "Thus the result is that there are two parts in appearance, but they are both one in themselves and one when together.
56. "If, therefore, people say there exists also a trinity, then their consciousness has been addled by some cult, falsified teachings or confused thinking.
57. "A unity always consists of two parts, which are one in themselves and are a duality only in appearance.
58. "Since a person is a unity of two parts, the spirit is a unity of two parts, but both are one in themselves and one together.
59. "The body cannot live without the spirit and conversely, because spirit and body are a unity despite their seeming duality.
60. "The spirit, however, lives according to the same law, because in itself it also consists of two parts and is one in each part; thus it is one in itself.
61. "The two parts of the spirit are wisdom and power.
62. "Without wisdom of the spirit, its power cannot be utilized, nor can any wisdom emerge without spiritual power.
63. "Hence, two things are always required that are one within themselves, so there is a oneness within the unity but not a duality.
64. "Thus the law says that a human being is a unity in itself, which consists of two equal parts that form a unity, both within themselves and also together.
65. "And the two equal parts in the human being, each of which constitutes a unity within itself, are the body and the spirit.
66. "So when the scribes teach that a person lives in a trinity, this teaching is erroneous and falsified, because it is not taught in accordance with the laws of Creation."
