In my heart the most well known is 'Valentinus', a knower, known for his genius and eloquence. It is written that he was born in the Nile delta and was educated in Alexandria. Reports about his work claim that he followed the esoteric teachings of Paul. Ultimately, he withdrew from Rome and went to the Island of Cyprus, where he continued to teach.

Much was said and written about Valentinus. However, how much of it was truth?
It is written that it was Valentinus that spoke of the 'three natures', of 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit'. Although it had already been spoken about by Plato and there is Platonic philosophy in the teachings of Jesus in the scripture. Some of the early followers also embraced and taught, 'God the Father, Sophia the Mother, and Logos the Son'.

Ponder on how a child is conceived in natural creation, and there is a revelation.
The mother is essential to give birth to new life, and he prayed for humanity to experience new life, and a new way of being, that would live in freedom, that is beyond the reality of Rome and its supporters.
