A crisis that became the world
The Aeon of wisdom (sophia)
And conceptual thought (epinoia)
Without consent of the invisible spirit or her consort (male counterpart), neither approved brought into being from her “desire” - Yaldabaoth
Yaldabaoth was a misshapen being unlike herself, he was cast outside the relm of immortal beings
He created relms for himself
Chief ruler united with him - thoughtlessness (aponoia)
Created ruling authorities modeled on incorruptible relms above
Given 7 rulers in heaven
5 rulers abyss
Created 7 authorities to rule the world, names and physical Form and animal faces
Each has own relm modeled on above
“Dim” - dark with some light from his mother
“I am god” - ignorant, unaware of the relm above
Sophia repented, wept
Pleroma asked invisible spirit - poured holy spirit over her
She not restored to original relm - remain till fully restored, but elevated over her son.
Yaldaboath
Saw “man” from the underside of above waters (upper relm Pleorma)
Created “underworld man” (lower relms)
Modeled after above relms
“Likeness of perfect first man” name him adam (above perfect man - Adamas)
Psychic body made, physical body made - not move
Yaldaboath’s mother wanted to take power back she had given him
So… 5 lights from above went down tricked Yaldaboath into breathing some of his spirit into psychic adam and some of his divine spirit of his mother left him and went into psychic adam.
Now Adam moved, grew powerful, shone
Yaldaboath’s demonic forces envied Adam
Adam’s understanding greater then theirs and Yaldaboaths
Naked of evil shone with light
They cast Adam down to the lowest depths of material world
“Being of Salvation”- He sent down his good spirit helper for Adam
Epionoia (“zoe”) (“life”)- to repair what mother had did hidden in Adam so rulers wouldn’t know about her and aid entire creation thru him.
Host of rulers plotted against Adam
Make him from earth, water, fire, wind - which are matter darkness desire artificial spirit
Became a tomb - a new kind of body
Enchained him in forgetfulness
Subject to dying
The first separation
Yet, epionoia within him will elevate his thinking
I guess Yaldaboath only needed “someone to love”
