The Nag Hammadi texts whisper something the official traditions rarely permit: the God most people worship may not be the highest God. Between the kneeling worshipper and the pure, boundless light of the Pleroma stand three tiers of divine reality — Yahweh the craftsman, Elohim the many-within-the-one, and El Elyon the Invisible Spirit, beyond all name, form, and gender. And where does Jesus stand in this order? When he says the Kingdom is within you, the Gnostic texts suggest he is not pointing toward the covenant God — but toward the light that was never absent from any soul that ever drew breath.
