What does the first thought / image (Barbelo) of the Invisible Virgin Spirit (Father) look like?

"The Father or Virgin Spirit or One-ness is imagining himself, imaging himself, and creating a complete image, an image that expresses his “fullness”. That image is a five-faceted entity, Barbelo or First Thought united harmoniously with the above four gifts to consist of a five-faceted image of the Invisible Spirit."

"Barbelo is the name given to the first entity to arise from God in the literature of the classic Gnostics."

"This is the first thought, his image"

"the Thought of the Father, Protennoia, that is, Barbelo, the perfect Glory, and the immeasurable Invisible One who is hidden. I am the Image of the Invisible Spirit"

"According to the church father Epiphanius, in a Sethian myth, Barbelo would appear in such a beautiful form to the Archons that they would get hopelessly aroused"
