Chapter 73

And when Mary had said this, the First Mystery said unto her: “Well said, finely, Mary, blessed one.”

And he continued again in the discourse and said unto the disciples, “Sophia again continued in this song and said...”


Sophia says that which the Lord says, because Sophia is the result of the multiple, sunderable divisions of the Lord.

Sophia continueth her song

1. The Light hath become my saviour.

2. And it hath changed my darkness into light, and it has rent the chaos which surrounded me and girded me with light.

It came to pass then, when the First Mystery had finished saying these words, that Martha came forward and said: “My Lord, thy power hath prophesied afore time through David concerning these words...”


The Light saves Pistis Sophia. Unquestionably, only the Light of lights, the Father of all lights unfolded into the inner Christ can save us.

Martha interpreteth from Psalm XXIX [Modern Psalm 30]

10. The Lord hath become my helper.

11. He hath changed my lamentation into joy; he hath rent my mourning robe and girded me with joy.

And it came to pass when the First Mystery had heard Martha speak these words, that he said: “Well said, and finely, Martha.”

And the First Mystery continued again and said unto the disciples: “Pistis Sophia again continued in the song and said...”


The interior, profound Lord converts lamentations into joy. He tears away the mourning-robe and girds us with joy.

There is too much suffering in the Great Work, but the Lord saved us from the Abyss and fills us with plenitude.

Sophia continueth her song

1. My power, sing praises to the Light and forget not all the powers of the light which it hath given unto thee.

2. And the powers which are in thee, sing praises to the name of his holy mystery;

3. Who forgiveth all thy transgression, who saveth thee from all the afflictions with which the emanations of Self-willed have constrained thee;

4. Who hath saved thy light from the emanations of Self-willed, which belong to destruction; who hath wreathed thee with light in his compassion, until he saved thee;

5. Who hath filled thee with purified light; and thy beginning will renew itself as an invisible of the Height.

“With these words Pistis Sophia sang praises, because she was saved and remembered all things which I had done unto her.”


The Light that has been given to us (the Light that is awarded to us when the ego dies) is the Light of the inner Christ.

The powers of Pistis Sophia, all of the independent parts of the Being, must sing praises to the inner, profound Lord.

Only the inner Christ can forgive us and save us from all bitterness.

Nevertheless, we do not deny that the inner Christ grants the power to pardon sins to His Divine Mother Kundalini, the Woman-Serpent. The emanations of Self-willed restricts us and embitters our lives.

The Lord crowns us with His light and saves us.

The Lord fills us with His purified light.

Our principles, renewed by the Lord, shine gloriously.
