SANANDA: IT IS TIME TO

AWAKEN FROM THE LIE

 

2/5/98 ESU "JESUS" SANANDA

 

Esu Sananda present in Radiance. I come in Service to instruct you and to offer freely answers to your queries. I come with THE HOSTS OF GOD! I am returned on a magnificent craft which we call The Phoenix. Oh ye of little minds, blurred vi­sion, and no faith! You shall be given to see the magnificence of Creator.

 

You are people of THE LIE! EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR SOCIETY IS A LIE. YOU HAVE LOST THE TRUE VALUES THAT HAVE MERIT AND REPLACED THEM, ACCORDING TO THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION.

 

YOU HAVE TAKEN THE BAIT--HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER, AND YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR PLIGHT TO PULL YOURSELVES UP AND RE­MOVE THE SOURCE OF YOUR ENSLAVEMENT.

 

WE SHALL NOT DO IT FOR YOU. WE COME TO IN­STRUCT IN THE WORD, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT. IT IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES ABOUT YOUR OWN FREEDOM OR YOUR OWN CON­TINUED ENSLAVEMENT.

 

YOU CANNOT FATHOM, FROM YOUR LIMITED PER­SPECTIVE, THAT WHICH GOD TRULY IS, AND IS ABOUT. HARKEN UP! LISTEN TO THE MESSAGES BE­ING PROVIDED AT THIS TIME, FOR THEY ARE IN­STRUCTIONS AND THEY CONTAIN WITHIN THEM THE KEY THAT WILL UNLOCK THAT WHICH HAS KEPT YOU ENSLAVED AND IN DARKNESS.

 

In the days before us I will be offering many passages from a variety of sources; some I will name and others I will choose to leave unnamed. You will find truth contained in all of it, and you will also find, scattered throughout, THE CONTINUED LIE.

 

IT IS SO VERY SUBTLE, AT TIMES, THAT IT ENTERS IN ON STOCKING FEET AND WHISPERS UNTIL, SUD­DENLY AWARE, IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU TO REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN HAD!

 

PAY ATTENTION TO THE LESSONS I BRING TO YOU, FOR I WILL NOT LEAD YOU ASTRAY. MANY OF THE PASSAGES THAT YOU WILL READ WILL BE, AS I SAID BEFORE, STRANGE TO THE EAR, FOREIGN, UNUSUAL.

 

AH--BUT DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU CANNOT LEARN FROM THAT WHICH YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE? OH CHILDREN OF THE LIE, PAY ATTEN­TION! THE HOUR IS DRAWING NIGH FOR THE FINAL CHOICES THAT WILL DETERMINE YOUR PLACEMENT FOR THE REST OF YOUR SOUL-LIFE'S JOURNEY.

 

THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT. DO NOT CAST ASIDE YOUR LIFE-RING TO WATCH TELEVISION OR SOME OTHER MINDLESS ACTIVITY. PAY ATTENTION!

 

I AM NOT SAYING DO NOT WATCH TELEVISION; I AM SAYING THAT THE PRIORITIES TOWARD GOD AND FREEDOM FROM ENSLAVEMENT OUGHT TO TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ENTERTAINMENT.

 

AH--BUT IT IS A FREE-WILL PLANET AND THOSE ARE AMONG THE CHOICES YOU MAKE. HOW WILL YOUR PASSAGE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE READ? ARE YOU SURE YOU WILL MAKE IT TO THE BOOK OF LIFE? YES, THESE THINGS DO, INDEED, MATTER.

 

FEAR IS THAT WHICH KEEPS YOU ENSLAVED. KNOWLEDGE =  FREEDOM. WISDOM IS SOMETHING YOU MUST ATTAIN THROUGH CORRECT CHOICES AND UTILIZATION OF THAT WHICH YOU HAVE LEARNED.

 

THERE IS MUCH THAT I WISH TO BRING, AND IT WILL COME THROUGH THESE HANDS. MUCH OF IT WILL BE RETYPED MATERIAL, QUOTED MATERIAL, BUT AS WITH OTHER RECEIVERS, IF ONE CAN TYPE IT, YOU CERTAINLY CAN FIND THE TIME TO READ IT.

 

Be kind to one another. Be kind to self. Be ever on your guard, for evil is always ready to POUNCE AT THE SLIGHT­EST CRACK IN THE SHIELD. MAINTAIN YOUR LIGHT SHIELDS FOR THEREIN IS SAFETY AND WISDOM.

 

I AM SANANDA, signing off for now.

 

PEACE AND BLESSINGS UNTO YOU.

 

2/7/98 #1 ESU "JESUS" SANANDA

 

Good morning. Esu Immanuel present in Radiance--or IN LIGHT, which perhaps is better to your understanding of the term. I come in Service.

 

Let us begin this morning by utilizing an ancient writing, author unknown. This tractate was titled (by modern scholars) On The Origin Of The World and is introduced (and translated) by Hans-Gerhard Bethge. In his introductory remarks he notes, in part:

 

[QUOTING:]

 

It is a compendium of central gnostic ideas, especially on cogmogony, anthrophology, and eschatology. Based on various sources and traditions, the treatise is in part presented in a semi-scholarly style, with numerous etiologies and etymologies. It is in the form of an apologetic tract designed for public effective­ness in attracting adherents. Earthly history, but also the pre­sentation of the world above, including its development, are largely ignored. On the basis of the unnamed and unknown author's intention, stated at the beginning and then carried through in the text itself, scholarship has assigned to the document the hypothetical title On The Origin Of The World.

 

There are good reasons to assume that we have to do with a conscious, well-planned literary composition without extensive secondary alterations, rather than with the produce of a rather long process in the transmission of tradition. The early fourth century could possibly be the time of composition. [S: Em­phasis added.] The remarkable mixture of various kinds of Jewish views, Manichaean elements, Christian ideas, Greek philosophical conceptions, and figures of Greek or Hellenistic mythology, magic, and astrology, as well as a clear emphasis on Egyptian thought, all point to Alexandria as the probable place of origin for the Greek original of On The Origin Of The World. [S: That is quite a mixture of influences. Let it also be noted that this was an extremely active time period for document­ing "religious" thought.]

 

[END QUOTING]

 

Portions of the original document (tractate) are missing. These gaps in the text will be noted herein with the addition of this symbol: I. Let us begin, now, quoting, at least in part, from On The Origin Of The World. You will find that the writing is allegorical and methaphorical in nature. Keep this in mind, please.

 

[QUOTING:]

 

Seeing that everybody, gods of the world I and mankind, says that nothing I existed prior to chaos, I I in distinction to them shall demonstrate that they are I all mistaken, because they are not acquainted with the origin I of chaos, nor with its root. Here is the demonstration. How well it suits all men, on the subject of chaos, to say that I it is a kind of darkness! But in fact it comes from a shadow, I which has been called by the name darkness. And the shadow I comes from a product that has existed I since the beginning. It is, moreover, clear that it (viz., the product) I existed before chaos came into being, and that the latter I is posterior to the first product.

 

Let us therefore concern ourselves I with the facts of the matter; and furthermore, with the first I product, from which chaos was projected. And in this way the truth will be clearly demonstrated.

 

After the natural structure of the immortal beings I had com­pletely developed out of the infinite, I a likeness then emanated from Pistis (Faith); I it is called Sophia (Wisdom). It exercised volition I and became a product resembling I the primeval light. And I immediately her will manifested itself I as a likeness of heaven, having I an unimaginable magnitude;I it was between the immortal beings and those things thatI came into being after them, like...: she (Sophia) I functioned as a veil dividing I mankind from the things above.

 

Now the eternal realm (aeon) I of truth has no shadow out­side it, I for the limitless light is everywhere I within it. But its exterior is shadow, I which has been called by the name dark­ness. From I it there appeared a force, presiding over I the darkness. And the forces I that came into being subsequent to them called the shadow I "the limitless chaos". From it, I every [kind] of divinity sprouted up I...together with the entire place, [so that] I also, [shadow] is posterior to the first product. It was < in > the abyss that [it] (shadow) appeared, I deriving from the aforementioned Pistis.

 

Then I shadow perceived that there was somethingI mightier than it, and felt envy; and when it had become pregnant I of its own accord, suddenly it I engendered jealousy. Since that day, I the principle of jealousy amongst I all the eternal realms and their worlds has been apparent. Now as for that jealousy, I it was found to be an abortion without I any spirit in it. Like a shadow it came into existence I in a vast watery substance. Then I the bile that had come into being out of the shadow I was thrown into a part of chaos. I Since that day, a watery sub­stanceI has been apparent. And what sank within I it flowed away, being visible I in chaos; as with a woman giving birth to a child I -- all her superfluities flow out; I just so, matter came into being out of I shadow and was projected apart. And it (viz., matter) did not I depart from chaos; rather, matter was in chaos, I being in a part of it.

 

And when these things had come to pass, then Pistis came I and appeared over the matter of I chaos, which had been ex­pelled like an I aborted fetus -- since there was no spirit in it. For all of it (viz., chaos) I was limitless darkness I and bottom­less water. I Now when Pistis saw what had resultedI from her defect, she became disturbed. I And the disturbance appeared, as a I fearful product; it rushed [to] her in I the chaos. She turned to it and [blew] into I its face in the abyss, which is be­low all the heavens.

 

And when Pistis I Sophia desired to cause the thing I that had no spirit to be formed into a likeness I and to rule over matter and over all her I forces, there appeared for the first time I a ruler, out of the water, I lionlike in appearance, androgynous, I having great authority withinI him, and ignorant of whence he had come into being. I Now when Pistis Sophia I saw him moving about in the depth of the waters I she said to him, "Child, I pass through to here," whose equivalent is "yalda baoth".

 

Since that day there appeared the principleI of verbal ex­pression, which reached I the gods and the angels and mankind.I And what came into being as a result of verbal expression, I the gods and the angels and mankind finished. I Now as for the ruler Yaltabaoth,I he is ignorant of the force of Pistis: I he did not see her face, rather he saw I in the water the likeness that spoke with him. I And because of that voice, he calledI him­self Yaldabaoth. But I Ariael is what the perfect call him, for he was like I a lion. Now when he had come to have authority over matter, I Pistis Sophia withdrew up I to her light.

 

When the ruler saw I his magnitude -- and it was only him­self I that he saw: he saw nothing else, I except for water and darkness -- then he supposed I that it was he alone who existed. HisI was completed by verbal expression: it appeared as a spirit moving to and fro I upon the waters. And when that spirit I ap­peared, the ruler set apart the watery substance. I And what was dry I was divided into another place. And from matter I he made for himself an abode, and he called I it heaven. And from matter, I the ruler made a footstool,I and he called it Earth.

 

Next, I the ruler had a thought--consistent with his nature--I by means of verbal expression he created an androgyne. I He opened his mouth and cooed toI him. When his eyes had been opened, he looked I at his father, and he said to him, "Eee!" Then hisI father called him Eee-a-o (Yao). Next he I created the second son. He cooed I to him. And he opened his eyes and said I to his father, "Eh!" His father called I him Eloai. Next he created I the third son. He cooed to him. And he opened hisI eyes and said to his father, "Asss!" His I father called him Astaphaios. These I are the three sons of their fa­ther. I

 

Seven appeared in chaos, androgynous.I They have their masculine names I and their feminine names. The feminine name I is Pronia (Forethought) Sambathas, which I is "week". And his son is called I Yao: his feminine name is Lordship.

 

Sabaoth: his feminine name is Deity.

Adonaios: his feminine name is Kingship.

Eloaios: his feminine name is Jealousy.

Oraios: his feminine name is Wealth.

And Astaphaios, his feminine name is Sophia (Wisdom).

 

These are the [seven] forcesI of the seven heavens of [chaos]. And they were born I androgynous, consistent with the immortal pattern I that existed before them, according to the wish I of Pistis: so that the likeness of what hadI existed since the beginning might reign to I the end.

 

You (sg.) will find the effect of these names I and the force of the male entities in the Archangelic (Book) Iof the Prophet Moses, and the names of the female entities in the first Book (biblios) Iof Noraia.

 

Now the prime parent Yaldabaoth, I since he possessed great authority, I created heavens for each of his I offspring through verbal expression--created them beautiful, as dwelling places I -- and in each heaven he created great glories, I seven times ex­cellent. Thrones and I mansions and temples, and also I chari­ots and virgin spirits up I to an invisible one and their glories, each oneI has these in his heaven; mighty I armies of gods and lords and angels I and archangels--countless myriads I -- so that they might serve.

 

The account of these matters you (sg.) will find I in a precise manner in the first Account Iof Oraia.

 

And they were completed from this heaven to as far up as I the sixth heaven, namely that of Sophia. I The heaven and his Earth were destroyed by I the troublemaker that was below them all. I And the six heavens shook violently; I for the forces of chaos knew who it wasI that had destroyed the heaven that was below them. I And when Pistis knew about the breakage I re­sulting from the disturbance, she sent forth her breath and I bound him and cast him down into Tartaros. Since that day, the heaven, along with its Earth, has consolidated itself through Sophia the daughter of Yaldabaoth, I she who is below them all.

 

Now when the heavens had consolidated themselves along with their forcesI and all their administration, the prime parent I became insolent. And he was honored by I all the army of an­gels. And I all the gods and their angels I gave blessing and honor to him. And for his part he I was delighted and continu­ally boasted, I saying to them, I "I have no need of anyone." He said, I "It is I who am God, and there is no other one that exists I apart from me." And when he said this, he sinned against I all tine immortal beings who give answer. And they laid it I to his charge.

 

Then when Pistis saw the impiety I of the chief ruler she was filled with anger. I She was invisible. She said, "You are mis­taken, I Samael," that is, "blind god". I "There is an immortal nun of light who I has been in existence before you and who will appear I among your modelled forms; he will trample you to scorn I just as potter's clay is pounded. And you will de­scend I to your mother, the abyss, along with those that belong to you. For at the consummation of your (pl.) works I the entire defect that has become visible I out of the truth will be abol­ished, and it will cease to be and will be I like what has never been." Saying this, Pistis revealed I her likeness of her great­ness in the waters. And I so doing she withdrew up I to her light.

 

Now when Sabaoth the son I of Yaldabaoth heard the I voice of Pistis, he sang praises of her, and [he] I condemned the fa­ther...at the word of Pistis; and he praised her I because she had instructed them about the immortal man I and his light. Then Pistis Sophia I stretched out her finger and poured upon him I some light from her light, to be a condemnation I of his father. Then when Sabaoth I was illumined, he received great authority I against all the forces of chaos. Since that day he has been called I "Lord of the Forces".

 

He hated his father, the darkness, I and his mother, the abyss, and loathed I his sister, the thought of the prime parent, I which moved to and fro upon the waters. And because of I his light all the authorities of chaos were jealous I of him. And when they had become disturbed, I they made a great war in the seven I heavens. Then when Pistis Sophia I had seen the war, she dispatched I seven archangels to Sabaoth from her light. They snatched him up to the seventh I heaven. They stood be­fore him as attendants. Furthermore she sent him three more I archangels and established the kingdom for him I over everyone so that he might dwell I above the twelve gods I of chaos.

 

Now when Saboath had taken up the place I of repose in re­turn for his repentance, I Pistis also gave him her daughter Zoe (Life) I together with great authority so that she might I instruct him about all things that exist in the eighth heaven. And as he had authority, I he made himself first of all a mansion. It is huge, magnificent, I seven times as great as all those that exist I in the seven heavens.

 

And before his mansion he created a throne, I which was huge and was upon a I four-faced chariot called I "Cherubin". Now the Cherubin has I eight shapes per each of I of the four corners, lion forms and I calf forms and human forms I and ea­gle forms, so that all the forms I amount to sixty-four forms--and (he created) seven archangels that stand I before it; he is the eighth, and has I authority. All the forms amount to I seventy-two. Furthermore, from this chariot I the seventy-two gods took shape; they took shape so that they might rule over the sev­enty-two I languages of the peoples. And by the throne I he created other, I serpent-like angels, called I "Saraphin", which praise him at all times.

 

Thereafter he created a congregation (ekklesia) of angels, thousands and myriads, numberless, I which resembled the con­gregation in I the eighth heaven; and a firstborn I called Israel--which I is, "the man that sees God"; and another being, I called Jesus Christ, [S: Pay attention.] who resembles the savior I above in the eighth heaven and who I sits at his right upon a I revered throne, and at his left, there sits the virgin of the holy spirit, I upon a throne and glorifying him. And the seven vir­gins stand before her, I...possessing thirty harps, I and psalter­ies and trumpets, glorifying him. And I all the armies of the angels glorify him, I and they bless him. Now where he sits is upon a throne of light <within a> great cloud that covers I him. [S: Emphasis added.] And there was no one with him I in the cloud except Sophia <the daughter of> Pistis, I in­structing him about all the things that exist in the eighth heaven, I so that the likenesses of those things might be created, I in or­der that his reign might endure until the consummation of the heavens of chaos I and their forces.

 

Now Pistis Sophia I set him apart from the darkness and summoned him to her right, I and the prime parent she put at her left. Since that day, right has been called Ijustice, and left called Iwickedness. [S: Emphasis added.] Now because of this they all received I a realm (kosmos) in the congregation of justice I and wickedness, ...stand...upon a creature...I all.

 

Thus when the prime parent of chaos I saw his son Sabaoth and the glory I that he was in, and perceived that he was great­est of all the authorities I of chaos, he envied him. And I hav­ing become wrathful he engendered Death out of his I death: and he (viz., Death) was established over the sixth I heaven, < for > Sabaoth had been snatched up from there. And thus the number I of the six authorities of chaos was achieved. Then Death, I being androgynous, mingled with his (own) nature I and begot seven androgynous offspring. These are the names of the male ones: Jealousy, Wrath, I Tears, Sighing, Suffering, Lamentation, I Bitter Weeping. And these are the names I of the female ones: Wrath, Pain, Lust, I Sighing, Curse, Bitter­ness, Quarrelsomeness. They had intercourse with one another, and each I one begot seven, so that they amount to forty-nine androgynous demons.

 

Their names and their effects you will find I in the Book of Solomon.

 

And in the presence of these, Zoe, who I was with Sabaoth, created seven I good androgynous forces. These are the names of the male ones: the Unenvious, I the Blessed, the Joyful, the True, I the Unbegrudging, the Beloved, I the Trustworthy. Also, as regards the female ones, these are their I names: Peace, Gladness, Rejoicing, Blessedness, I Truth, Love, Faith (Pistis). And I from these there are many good I and innocent spirits.

 

Their influences I and their effects you will find in I the Configuration Of The Fate Of Heaven That Is IBeneath The Twelve.

 

And having seen the likeness I the Pistis in the waters, the prime parent grieved very much, especially when he heard her voice, I like the first voice that had I called to him out of the waters. And I when he knew that it was she who had given a name I to him, he sighed. He was ashamed on account of his I transgression. And when he had come to know in truth I that an immortal man I of light had been existing before him, he was greatly disturbed; I for he had previously said I to all the gods and their angels, I "It is I who am god. No other one I exists apart from me." For he had been afraid I they might know that another I had been in existence before him, and might condemn him. But he, being devoid of understanding, scoffed at the con­demnation I and acted recklessly. He said, "If anything has ex­isted before me, let it appear, I so that we may see its light."

 

And I immediately, behold! Light came out of the eighth heaven I above and passed through all the heavens I of the Earth. When the prime parent saw that the light was beautiful as it radiated, I he was amazed. And he was greatly ashamed. As I that light appeared, a human likeness I appeared within it, very wonderful. And no one saw it except of I the prime parent and Pronoia, I who was with him. Yet its light appeared I to all the forces of the heavens. Because of this I they were all trou­bled by it.

 

Then I when Pronoia saw that emissary, she became enam­ored of him. But he hated her because she was on the darkness. But she desired to embrace him, and she was not I able to. When she was unable to assuage her love, I she poured out her light upon the Earth. Since that day, that emissary has been called I "Adam of Light", whose rendering I is "the luminous man of blood", and the Earth spread over him, holy Adaman, I whose rendering is "the Holy Land of Adamantine". Since that day, I all the authorities have honored the blood of the virgin. And the Earth was purified on account of I the blood of the vir­gin. But most of all, I the water was purified through the like­ness of Pistis Sophia, who had appeared to I the prime parent in the waters. I Justly, then, it has been said: "through the wa­ters". I The holy water, since it vivifies the all, purifies it.

 

Out of that first blood I Eros appeared, being androgynous. I His masculinity is Himireris (i.e., Himeros), being I fire from the light. His femininity, I that is with him -- a soul of blood -­is from I the stuff of Pronoia. He is very lovely I in his beauty, having a charm beyond I all the creatures of chaos. Then all the gods I and their angels, when they beheld Eros, became enam­ored of him. And appearing I in all of them he set them afire; just as I from a single lamp many lamps I are lit, and one and the same light is there, but the lamp I is not diminished. And in this way Eros became dispersed in all the created beings of chaos, I and was not diminished. Just as from I the midpoint of light and darkness I Eros appeared and at the midpoint I of the angels and mankind the sexual union of Eros was consummated, so I out of the Earth the primal pleasure blossomed. I The woman followed Earth. I And marriage followed woman. I Birth followed marriage. Dissolution followed birth.

 

After that Eros, I the grapevine sprouted up I out of that blood, which had been shed over I the Earth. Because of this, those who drink of it I conceive the desire of sexual union. Af­ter the grapevine, a fig tree I and a pomegranate tree sprouted up from I the Earth, together with the rest of, the trees, I all species, having I within them their seed from the seed of the authorities and their angels.

 

Then Justice created Paradise, I being beautiful and being outside the orbit I of the Moon and the orbit of the Sun in I the Land of Wantonness, in the East in the midset I of the stones. And desire is in the midst of I the beautiful, appetizing trees. And I the tree of eternal life is as it I appeared by God's will, to the north of Paradise, so that it might make I eternal the souls of the pure, I who shall come forth from the modelled forms of poverty I at the consummation of the age. Now the color I of the tree of life is like the Sun. And its branches are beautiful. Its leaves are like I those of the cypress. Its fruit is like I a bunch of grapes when it is white. Its height I goes as far as heaven. And next to it (is) the tree I of acquaintance (gnosis), having the strength of God. Its glory is like the Moon I when fully radiant. And its branches are beautiful. I Its leaves are like fig leaves. I Its fruit is like a good appetizing date. I And this tree is to the north of Paradise, so that it might arouse the souls from I the torpor of the demons, in order that they might approach I the tree of life and eat of I its fruit and so condemn the I the authorities and their angels.

 

The effect of this tree is described in the Sacred Book, I to wit: "It is you who are the tree of acquaintance, I which is in Paradise, from which the first I man ate and which opened his mind; I and he loved his female counterpart and condemned the other, alien likenesses and loathed them."

 

Now after it, the olive tree sprouted up, I which was to pu­rify the kinds and the I high priests of righteousness, who were to appear in the last days, since I the olive tree appeared out of the light I of the first Adam for the sake of the unguent I that they were to receive.

 

And the first soul (psyche) loved I Eros, who was with her, and poured her blood upon him and upon the Earth. I And out of that blood the rose first sprouted up, I out of the Earth, out of I the thorn bush, to be a source of joy for the light that I was to appear in the bush. Moreover after this the beautiful, good-smelling flowers I sprouted up from the Earth, I different kinds, from every single virgin I of the daughters of Pronia. I And they, when they had become enamored of Eros, poured out their blood upon him and upon the Earth. I After these, every plant sprouted up I from the Earth, different kinds, containing I the seed of the authorities and their I angels. After these, the au­thorities created out of the waters all species of beast, I and the reptiles and birds--different kinds--containing I the seed of the authorities and their angels. I

 

But before all these, when he had appeared, on the first day, he remained upon the Earth, something like two days, and I left the lower Pronoia in I heaven, and ascended towards his light. And I immediately darkness covered all the universe. Now when she wished, the Sophia who was in the lower heaven I re­ceived authority from I Pistis, and fashioned great luminous bodies I and all the stars. And she put them in the sky to shine upon the Earth and to render I temporal signs and seasons and I years and months and days I and nights and moments and so forth. I And in this way the entire region upon the sky was adorned.

 

Now when Adam of Light conceived the wish I to enter his light--i.e., I the eighth heaven -- he was unable to do so because of I the poverty that had mingled with his light. Then I he cre­ated for himself a vast eternal realm. And within that eternal realm he created six eternal realms I and their adornments, six in number, that were seven times better I than the heavens of chaos and their adornments. I Now all these eternal realms and their I adornments exist within the infinity that is between the eighth heaven and the chaos below I it, being counted with the universe that belongs to I poverty.

 

If you (sg.) want to know the arrangement I of these, you will find it written in the Seventh IUniverse Of The Prophet Hi­eralias.

 

And before Adam of Light had I withdrawn in the chaos, the authorities saw him I and laughed at the prime parent because he had I lied when he said, "It is I who am God. I No one exists before me." When they came to him, they said, "Is this not the god who I ruined our work?" He answered and said, I "Yes. If you do not want him to be able I to ruin our work, come let us I create a man (i.e., human being) out of Earth, according to the image of our body and according to the likeness of this being (viz., Adam of Light), to serve us; so that when he (viz. Adam of Light) I sees his likeness he might become enamored of it. No longer will he I ruin our work; rather, I we shall make those who are born out of the light our servants for all the duration of this eternal realms. Now all of this I came to pass according to the forethought of Pistis, I in order that man should appear after I his likeness, and should condemn them I because of their mod­elled form. And their modelled form became an enclosure of the light.

 

Then the authorities I received the acquaintance (gnosis) necessary to create I man. Sophia I Zoe -- she who is with Sabaoth -- had anticipated them. And she laughed I at their de­cision. For they are blind: against their own interests they igno­rantly created him. I And they do not realize what they are about to do. I The reason she anticipated them and made her own man (i.e., human being) I first, was in order that he might instruct I their modelled form how to despise them and thus to escape from them.

 

Now the production of the instructor came about I as follows. When Sophia let fall a droplet I of light, it flowed onto the wa­ter, I and immediately a human being appeared, being androgy­nous. That droplet she molded I first as a female body. After­wards, I using the body she molded it I in the likeness of the mother which had appeared. I And he finished it in twelve months. An androgynous human being was produced, I whom the Greeks call Hermaphrodites; I and whose mother the He­brews call I Eve of Life (Eve of Zoe), namely, the female in­structor I of life. Her offspring is the creature that is lord. Af­terwards, the authorities called it "Beast," so that it might lead astray I their modelled creatures. The interpretation of "the beast" I is "the'instructor". For it was found to be the wisest I of all beings.

 

Now, Eve is the first virgin, the one who without a husband bore her first offspring. I It is she who served as her own mid­wife.

 

For I this reason she is held to have said: I

"It is I who am the part of my mother;

And it is I who am I the mother;

It is I who am the wife;

It is I who am the virgin;

It is I who am pregnant;

It is I who am the midwife;

It is I who am the one that I comforts pain of travail;

It is my husband who bore me;

And I it is I who am his mother,

And it is he who is my father I and my lord.

It is he who is my force;

What he desires, I he says with reason.

I am in the process of becoming.

have borne a man as lord."

 

Now these through the will I <…. > . The souls I that were going to enter the modelled forms of the authorities were mani­fested to Sabaoth and his Christ. I And regarding these the holy voice I said, "Multiply and improve! Be lord over all creatures," And it is they who were I taken captive, according to their destinies, by I the prime parent. And thus I they were shut into the prisons of the modelled forms. I Or: at the consummation of the age. And at that time, the prime parent I then rendered an opinion concerning man to those who were with him. I Then each of them cast I his sperm into the midst of the navel of I the Earth. Since that day, the several rulers have fashioned man with his body I resembling their body, but his likeness I resem­bling the man that had appeared to them. I His modelling took place by parts, I one at a time. And their leader fashioned the brain and the nervous system. Afterward I he appeared as prior to him. He became a soul-endowed man. And he was called I Adam, that is, "father," according to I the name of the one that existed before him.

 

And when they had finished I Adam, he abandoned him as an inanimate vessel, since he had taken form like an abortion, in that no spirit was in him. I Regarding this thing, when the chief ruler I remembered the saying of Pistis, he was afraid I lest the true man enter his I modelled form and become its lord. For this reason he left his modelled form forty days without I soul, and he withdrew and abandoned it. Now on the fortieth I day, Sophia Zoe sent I her breath into Adam, who had no I soul. He began to move upon the ground. And he could not stand up.

 

Then when the seven I rulers came, they saw him and I were greatly disturbed. They went up to I him and seized him. And he (viz., the chief ruler) said to I the breath within him. "Who are you? And whence did you come hither?" It answered I and said, "I have come from the force I of the man for the destruc­tion of your work." I < > When they heard, they glorified him, since he I gave them respite from the fear and the anxiety in which they found themselves. Then they called that day I "Rest", in as much as they had rested I from toil. And when they saw that Adam I could not stand up, they were glad, and they took him I and put him in Paradise. And they withdrew up to their heavens.

 

After I the day of rest Sophia I sent her daughter Zoe, being called I Eve, as an instructor in order that she might I make Adam, who had no soul, arise so that those whom she should engender might become I containers of light. When Eve saw her male counterpart prostate she had pity I upon him, and she said, "Adam, Become alive! I Arise from the Earth!" Immedi­ately her word I became accomplished fact. For Adam, having arisen, suddenly opened his eyes. I When he saw her he said, "You shall be called I 'Mother of the Living'. For it is you who have I given me life."

 

Then the authorities were informed I that their modelled form was alive and had arisen, and they were greatly troubled. They sent seven archangels I to see what had happened. They came I to Adam. When they saw Eve talking to I him they said to one another, "What sort of thing is this luminous woman? I For she resembles that likeness which appeared to us in the light. Now come, I let us lay hold of her and cast our I seed into her, so that when she becomes soiled I she may not be able to ascend into her light. I Rather, those whom she bears will be under our charge. But let us not tell Adam, for he is not one I of us. Rather let us bring a deep sleep I over him. And let us instruct him in his I sleep to the effect that she came from I his rib, in order that his wife may obey, and he may be lord over her."

 

Then Eve, I being a force, laughed at their decision. I She put mist into their eyes and secretly left I her likeness with Adam. She entered I the tree of acquaintance and remained there. And they pursued her, and she revealed I to them that she had gone into the tree and become I a tree. Then, entering a great I state of fear, the blind creatures fled.

 

Afterwards, I when they had recovered from the daze, they came [to Adam]; and seeing the likeness of this woman with him, they were greatly disturbed, thinking it was she I that was the true Eve. And they acted rashly; they came I up to her and seized her and cast I their seed upon her. They did so wickedly, defiling not only I in natural ways but also in foul ways, I de­filing first the seal of her voice I -- that had spoken with them, saying, "What is it that exists I before you?" -- intending to de­file those who might say at the consummation (viz. of the age) that they had been born I of the true man through verbal expres­sion. I And they erred, not knowing I that it was their own body that they had defiled: it was the likeness that I the authori­ties and their angels defiled in every way.

 

First she was pregnant with Abel, I by the first ruler. And it was I by the seven authorities and their angels I that she bore the other offspring. And all this I came to pass according to the forethought of the prime parent, so that the first mother I might bear within her every seed, I being mixed and being fitted to the fate I of the universe and its configurations, and I to Justice. A prearranged plan came into effect regarding Eve, so that the modelled forms of the authorities I might become enclosures of the light, whereupon I it (viz., the light) would condemn them through their I modelled forms.

 

Now the first Adam, (Adam) of Light, I is spirit-endowed (pneumatikos), and appeared on the first day. The second I Adam is soul-endowed (psychikos), and appeared I on the sixth day, which is called Aphrodite. The third I Adam is a creature of the Earth (choikos), that is, the man of the law, and he ap­peared on I the eighth day [...the] tranquility of poverty, which is called I Sunday. And the progeny of the I Earthly Adam be­came numerous and was completed, I and produced within it­self every kind of scientific information of the soul-endowed Adam. But all were in I ignorance.

 

Next let me say I that once the rulers had seen him and I the female creature who was with him erring ignorantly I like beasts, they were very glad. < …> When they learned that the immortal man was not going to I neglect them, rather than they would even have to fear I the female creature that had turned into a tree, they were disturbed, and said, "Perhaps this is the true man I -- this being who has brought a fog upon us and has taught us that she who was soiled is like I him -- and so we shall be conquered!"

 

Then I the seven of them together laid plans. They came up to Adam I and Eve timidly: they said to him, I "The fruit of all the trees created for you in Paradise shall be eaten; but as for the tree I of acquaintance, control yourselves and do not eat I from it. If you eat you I will die." Having imparted great fear to them I they withdrew up to their authorities.

 

Then came the wisest of all creatures, I who was called Beast. I And when he saw the likeness of their mother I Eve he said to her, "What did God I say to you (pl.)? Was it 'do not eat from the tree of acquaintance (gnosis)'?" She said, "He said, 'Not only I do not eat from it, but I do not touch it, lest you (sg.) die' ." He said I to her, "Do not be afraid. In death you (pl.) shall not I die. For he knows that when you eat from it, your intellect will become sober and I you will come to be like gods, I recognizing the difference that obtains between evil I men and good ones. Indeed, it was in jealousy that he said this to you, so that you I would not eat from it."

 

Now Eve had confidence I in the words of the instructor. She gazed I at the tree and saw that it was beautiful and I and appetizing, and like it; she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she gave some also to her I husband, and he too ate it. Then their intellect I became open. For when they had eaten, the light of I acquaintance had shone upon them. When they clothed I themselves with shame, they knew that they were naked of acquaintance. When they became sober, they saw that I they were naked and became enamored of one another. When I they saw that the ones who had modelled them had the form I of beasts, they loathed them: they were very aware.I

 

Then when the rulers knew that they had broken their com­mandments, they entered Paradise I and came to Adam and Eve with Earthquake and great threatening, I to see I the effect of the aid. Then I Adam and Eve trembled greatly and hid under the trees in Paradise. I Then the rulers did not know where they were I and said, "Adam, where are you?" He said, "I am here, I for through fear of you I hid, I being ashamed." And they said to him ignorantly, "Who told you about I the shame with which you clothed yourself? -- unless I you have eaten from that tree!" He said, I "The woman whom you gave me -- it is she that I gave to me and I ate." Then they said to the latter, "What is this that you have done?" She answered and said, I "It is the instructor that urged me on, and I I ate."

 

Then the rulers came up to the instructor. I Their eyes be­came misty because of him, and they could not do anything to him. They cursed him, I since they were powerless. After­wards, they came up to the woman I and cursed her and her off­spring. After I the woman, they cursed Adam, and (cursed) the land because of him, I and the crops; and all things that they had created they cursed. They have no blessing.

 

Good cannot result from I evil.

 

From that day, the authorities I knew that truly there was something mightier than I they: they recognized only that their commandments had not been kept. Great I jealousy was brought into the world solely because of I the immortal man. Now when the rulers saw I that their Adam had entered into an alien state of acquaintance they I desired to test him, and they gathered together all the domestic animals and the wild beasts I of the Earth and the birds of heaven and brought them to Adam I to see what he would call them. I When he saw them he gave names to their I creatures.

 

They became troubled because Adam had recovered from all the trials. They assembled and I laid plans, and they said, "Behold Adam! He has come to be like one of us, so that he I knows the difference between the light and the darkness. I Now perhaps he will be deceived as in the case of the tree of ac­quaintance and also will come to I the tree of life and eat from it I and become immortal and become lord and despise I us and disdain [us] and all our glory. I Then he will denounce [us along with our] universe. Come let us expel him from Paradise down to the land I from which he was taken, so that henceforth he might not I be able to recognize anything better I than we can." And so they expelled Adam from Paradise, along with his wife. And this deed that they had done was not enough for them. Rather, they were afraid. I They went in to the tree of life and surrounded it I with great fearful things, fiery living creatures I called "Cheroubin," and they put a flaming sword in their midst, fearfully I twirling at all times, so that no Earthly being might ever enter that place.

 

Thereupon I since the rulers were envious of Adam they wanted to diminish their (viz., Adam's and Eve's) lifespans. They could not because of I fate, which had been fixed since the beginning. I For to each had been allotted a lifespan I of 1,000 years according to the course of the luminous bodies. I But al­though the rulers could not do this, each of the evil doers I took away ten years. I And all this lifespan (which remained) amounted to 930 years: and these are in pain and I weakness and evil distraction. And so I life has turned out to be, from that day until the consummation I of the age.

 

Then when Sophia Zoe I saw that the rulers of the darkness had I laid a curse upon her counterparts, she was indignant. And coming out of the first heaven with I full power she chased those rulers out of I [their] heavens, and cast them down into I the sinful [world], so that there they I should dwell, in the form of evil spirits (daimones) upon the Earth.

 

[...], so that in their world it might pass the thousand years in Paradise I -- a soul-endowed living creature I called "phoenix." It I kills itself and brings itself to life as a witness to the judg­ment against them, for they did wrong to Adam and his I gener­ation, unto the consummation of the age. < > There are...three I men, and also his posterities unto the consumma­tion I of the world: the spirit-endowed of eternity, and the soul-endowed, and the Earthly. Likewise, the three phoenixes <in > Paradise -- the first I [is] immortal; the second lives 1,000 I years; as for the third, it is written in the Sacred Book I that it is consumed. So too there are I three baptisms -- the first is the spiritual, the second is by fire, the third I is by water. Just as the phoenix I appears as a witness concerning the angels, I so the case of the water hydri in Egypt, I which has been a witness to those going down into the baptism of a true man. I The two bulls in Egypt possess I a mystery, the Sun and Moon, being I a witness to Sabaoth: namely, that over I them Sophia received the universe; from the day that she made the Sun and the Moon she I put her seal upon her heaven, unto eternity. I

 

And the worm that has been born out of the Phoenix I is a human being as well. It is written (Ps 91:13 LXX) concerning it, "the just man I will blossom like a phoenix." And the phoenix first appears I in a living state, and dies, and rises again, I being a sign of what has become apparent I at the con­summation of the age. It was only in Egypt that these great signs appeared -- nowhere else -- as an indication that it is like God's Paradise. I

 

Let us return to the aforementioned rulers, I so that we may offer I some explanation of them. Now, when the seven rulers were cast down from their heavens I onto the Earth, they made for themselves angels, I numerous, demonic, to serve I them. And the latter instructed mankind in many kinds of error I and magic and potions and worship of idols and spilling of blood and altars and I temples and sacrifices and libations to all the spirits I of the Earth, having their coworker I fate, who came into ex­istence by I the concord between the gods of injustice and jus­tice.

 

And thus when the world I had come into being, it distract­edly erred I at all times. For all men I upon Earth worshipped the spirits (daimones) from I the creation to the consummation -­both the angels of righteousness and the men of unrighteousness. I Thus did the world come to exist in distraction, I in ignorance, and in a stupor. I They all erred, until the appearance (parousia) I of the true man.

 

Let this suffice so far as the matter goes. Now we shall pro­ceed to consideration of our world, I so that we may accurately finish the description of its structure I and management. I Then it will become obvious how I belief in the unseen realm, which has been apparent from creation down to the consummation I of the age was discovered.

 

I come, therefore, to the main points I [regarding] the im­mortal man: I shall I speak of all the beings that belong to him, explaining how I they happen to be here.

 

When a multitude of human beings had come into existence, through the parentage of [the Adam] who had been fashioned, and out of matter, I and when the world had already become full, the rulers were master I over it -- that is, they kept I it re­strained by ignorance. For what reason? For the following: since the immortal father knows I that a deficiency of truth came into being amongst the eternal realms I and their universe, when he wished I to bring to naught the rulers of perdition through the I creatures they had modelled he sent you (pl.) likenesses down into the world of perdition, namely, the blessed little I innocent spirits. They are not alien to I acquaintance. For all acquain­tance is vested in one angel I who appeared before them; he is not without power I in the company of the father. And <he > gave them acquaintance. Whenever they appear in the world I of perdition, immediately and first of all they reveal the pattern of imperishability as a condemnation I of the rulers and their forces. Thus when the blessed beings I appeared in forms mod­elled by authorities, I they were envied. And out of envy the authorities I mixed their seed with them, in hopes of polluting them. They could not. Then when the blessed beings I ap­peared in luminous form, I they appeared in various ways. And each one I of them, starting out in his land, revealed I his (kind of) acquaintance to the visible church constituted of the mod­elled forms of perdition. I It (viz., the church) was found to contain all kinds of seed, because of the seed I of the authorities that had [mixed with it].

 

Then I the savior created [...] of I them all -- and the spirits of these [are manifestly] superior, being blessed and varying in election -- and I also (he created) many other beings, which have no king and are superior I to everyone that was before them. Consequently, four I races exist. There are three that belong to the kings of the eighth heaven. But the fourth I race is kingless and perfect, being I the highest of all. For these shall enter I the holy place of their father. I And they will gain rest in repose and eternal, unspeakable glory I and unending joy. Moreover they are I kings within the mortal domain, in that they are immortal. They I will condemn the gods of chaos and I their forces.

 

Now the Word (Logos) that is superior to all beings was sent for this purpose alone: I that he might proclaim the unknown. I He said (Mk 4:223 par.), "There is nothing hidden that is I not apparent, and what has not been recognized I will be recog­nized." And these were sent to make known what is hidden, and I the seven authorities of chaos and their I impiety. And thus they were condemned I to death.

 

So when all the perfect I appeared in the forms modelled by the rulers and when they revealed I that incomparable truth, I they put to shame all the wisdom of the gods. I And their fate was found I to be a condemnation. And their force dried up. Their lordship was dissolved. Their forethought became [emptiness, I along with] their glory.

 

Before the consummation I [of the age], the whole place will shake I with great thundering. Then the rulers will be sad, [...] their I death. The angels will mourn for their mankind, I and the demons will weep over the seasons, I and their mankind will wail and scream I at their death. Then the age will begin, and they will be disturbed. Their kings will I be intoxicated with the fiery sword, and they will I wage war against one another, so that I the Earth is intoxicated with bloodshed. I And the seas will be disturbed by those wars. Then the Sun will become dark. I And the Moon will cause its light to cease. I The stars of the sky will cancel their circuits. I And a great clap of thun­der will come out I of a great force that is above all the forces of chaos, where I the firmament of the woman is situated. I Having created the first product, she will I put away the wise fire of intelligence I and clothe herself with witless wrath. Then she will pursue the gods I of chaos, whom she created along with the prime parent. I She will cast them down into the abyss. I They will be obliterated because of their wickedness. For they will I come to be like volcanos and consume one another until they perish I at the hand of the prime parent. I When he has de­stroyed them, he will turn against himself I and destroy himself until he ceases to exist.

 

And I their heavens will fall one upon the next and their (the rulers') forces will be consumed by fire. Their eternal realms, too, I will be overturned. His...will I fall down upon the [...] I support them; they will fall into the abyss, and the abyss will be overturned.

 

The light will I [...the] darkness and obliterate it: it will be like I something that has never been. And the product I to which the darkness had been posterior will dissolve. And I the deficiency will be plucked out by the root (and thrown) down into I the darkness. And the light will withdraw up to its root. And the glory of the unbegotten I will appear. And it will fill I all the eternal realm. When the prophecy and I the account of those that are king becomes known and I is fulfilled by those who are called perfect, those who -- in contrast -- have not be­come perfect I in the unbegotten father will receive their glory I in their realms and the kingdoms of the I immortals: but they will never enter I the kingless realm.

 

For everyone must go to the place from which he has come. I Indeed, by his acts and his I acquaintance each person will make his nature know.

 

[END QUOTING]

 

And it is out of writing such as this that Prophecy was born. THE SCRIPT FOR THE PLAY HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY THE ANTI-CHRIST LONG, LONG AGO. There is wondrous truth contained within the passages above, but HOW DO YOU KNOW, UPON READING, THAT WHICH IS TRUE FROM THAT WHICH IS FALSE? THESE ARE MATTERS WHICH ARE BEST LEFT ALONE FOR, IN TRUTH, IT IS THE TIME, HERE AND NOW, OF DECIDING YOUR RELA­TIONSHIP WITH GOD--NO MORE AND CERTAINLY NO LESS.

 

YOU CAN BECOME INFINITELY SIDETRACKED INTO THE MAGICAL AND MYSTICAL EXPRESSIONS, BUT THEY WILL NOT LEAD YOU HOME. ONLY BY LIVING YOUR LIFE ACCORDING TO GOD'S LAWS AS GIVEN FOR MANKIND TO LIVE IN HARMONY AND BALANCE WILL YOU EVER RECEIVE THAT GLIMMER OF UNDER­STANDING.

 

THERE IS MORE THAT I WISH TO QUOTE ABOUT THE ADVERSARY. THERE ARE GREAT LESSONS TO BE HAD IN THESE QUOTED MATERIALS, BUT I MUST CAUTION YOU ALL: BE MOST CAREFUL AS TO THAT WHICH YOU ACCEPT AS TRUTH. GOD IS LIGHT! GOD IS! ALL IS BUT A REFLECTION OF GOD'S THOUGHT. FORGET IT NOT!

 

I WILL CONTINUE THE NEXT WRITING WITH SOME­THING THAT MAY BE MORE READILY UNDERSTOOD THAN THAT WHICH WAS JUST COMPLETED. TAKE A BREAK, SCRIBE, AND WE WILL CONTINUE OUR WRIT­ING WITH THE LUCIFER REBELLION.

 

I AM SANANDA.

 

SALU, FOR NOW.
