The Gnostic Bible* (eds. Willis Barnstone and Marvin Meyer) From chapter "Early Wisdom Gospels", section "The Gospel of Thomas" "Yeshua said to them, When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the kingdom." The Gospel of Thomas is a Coptic text with many different variations. This version (from the Gnostic Bible) is the most likely source for these two titles, based on what we know of BoH's interest in religion and how exactly the phrases match.
