The Healing Logos

Our hearts are fixed on those things that exist (eternally), even when we are sick, frail, and in pain. There is, however, a mighty strength hidden inside us. Our soul is indeed sick because she dwells in an impoverished house,⁠a while matter throws punches at her eyes, desiring to blind her. This is why she pursues the Logos, even applying it to her eyes like medicine, ‹opening› them and throwing away [blindness...]. [...] thought about [...] blindness in [...]. After this, when that one is once again in ignorance, he is completely [darkened] and [becomes] hylic. In this way the soul each hour [takes] a Logos to apply it to her eyes like medicine, so as to see, and to suppress her opposing enemies who fight her, and to blind them with her light, and to bind them in her presence, and to make them collapse unconscious, and to behave courageously in her strength and with her scepter, while her enemies in humiliation gaze on her in shame. She (then) quickly ascends to her treasure-house, where her mind dwells, and to her secure storehouse, because none of the things that have come into being has grabbed hold of her, nor has she invited any stranger into her house, because many who have been born in her house fight against her by day and by night, resting neither by day nor by night, because their lust oppresses them.
