(pronoia), "Providence". Defined as the female voice found in the Gnostic light. (See the "Trimorphic Protennoia", Nag Hammadi Library, also the long version of the "Apocryphon of John".) "Now, first among all those passions [...] nor [...] him, since, after all, Pronoia caused the correction to project shadows and images of those who exist from the first and those who are and those who shall be. This, then, is the dispensation of believing in Jesus for the sake of him who inscribed the All with likenesses and images and shadows". (" A Valentinian Exposition".)

The Trimorphic Protennoia is a Sethian Gnostic text from the New Testament apocrypha. The only surviving copy comes from the Nag Hammadi library (Codex XIII).
