“I am the first and the last.
I am she who is honored
and she who is mocked.
I am the w***e
and the holy one.”
These mystical seemingly contradictory lines open Thunder, Perfect Mind, an ancient Gnostic poem unearthed in 1945 near Nag Hammadi in Egypt. Likely written in the 1st or 2nd century CE, Thunder is not a doctrine, but a living voice. A presence. A divine paradox. A revelation wrapped in contradiction. She speaks not from the margins, but from the center of everything: the feminine principle that holds the world in its terrible and holy tension.
She is everything.
She is the union of opposites.
She is what has been forgotten—and what must now be remembered.
This is no relic. Thunder, Perfect Mind reads like it was written for us, here and now, in an age of polarity, fragmentation, and longing for integration. Her declarations shake the binaries we’ve inherited and speak directly to the feminine soul that has been silenced, sanctified, exploited, and resurrected across millennia.
To meditate on Thunder is to listen to the soul of the cosmos speak in the voice of a woman who is not just divine, but whole.
In Gnostic tradition, Thunder is understood as a manifestation of Sophia, the personification of divine wisdom. Yet she is more than Sophia; she is Shekinah, Shakti, The Black Madonna, and the unknowable face of the immanent God. Her voice embodies and inhabits the sacred tension between matter and spirit, light and shadow, human and divine.
The poem refuses to resolve these opposites. It doesn’t tell us who she is, it tells us she is all of it. She is the thunderclap of awakening, the perfect mind behind the veil. She cannot be contained because she is the container.
“I am the knowledge of my name.”
