Thunder, Perfect Mind 8

1Vision and self-control of the heart, existing within me— I am the hearing that is attainable to everyone, and the speech that cannot be grasped.

2...of the nature that exists within me. I am the hearing that is attainable to everyone, and the speech that cannot be grasped. I am the call.

3I am the hearing that is acceptable to everyone, and I am the speech that is [to be spoken]. Believe them: I am your [call] for speaking, and great is the silence of speech—listen to me in anger, and of [...]

4I am self-control and the lack of self-control.

5Hear me in anger, and learn of me in gentleness.

6Give heed to me in gentleness. I am the one who remains upon the face of the earth, and I am the one who is cast off the face of the earth. I am the preparation of every person.

7I am the one beneath the earth, and they ascend to me from the lower part of the earth.

8I am the understanding of every person, my mind within. I am the knowledge of my name. I am the cry that goes out, and I am the one who hears.

9The calling of my name—it is I. I am the crying out, and I am the hearing. You hear me in your calling of me; you call me with a sound you …

10You hear me in your calling of me, in a [...] that you utter. You did not hear. I am the defense.

11… of your hearing. I am the […] my defense […] if they […] and the injustice […]

13Listen to me in gentleness, and learn from me in harshness.

15I am among you who [...] yourselves out from the [...]. Who is it that will release you? Or if he releases you from it, who will be able to [...]?

16I am the knowing of my name.

17Release yourselves. Or if you release yourselves from him, who will be able to seize you? For your inside is your outside, and the one who fashions the outside is the one who fashions the inside.

18Take hold of yourselves; for your inside is your outside, and the one who fashions your outside is the one who shaped it.
