Jesus bringeth Sophia again to the thirteenth aeon
It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished telling his disciples all the adventures which had befallen Pistis Sophia when she was in the chaos, and the way she had sung praises to the Light, that it should save her and lead her out of the chaos, and lead her into the twelve aeons, and also the way it had saved her out of all her afflictions with which the rulers of the chaos had constrained her, because she longed to go to the Light, that Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass then after all this, that I took Pistis Sophia and led her into the thirteenth aeon, shining most exceedingly, there being no measure for the light which was about me. I entered into the region of the four-and-twenty invisibles, shining most exceedingly. And they fell into great commotion; they looked and saw Sophia, who was with me. Her they knew, but me they knew not, who I was, but held me for some sort of emanation of the Light-land.
“It came to pass then, when Pistis Sophia saw her fellows, the invisibles, that she rejoiced in great joy and exulted exceedingly and desired to proclaim the wonders which I had wrought on her below in the earth of mankind, until I saved her. She came into the midst of the invisibles, and in their midst sang praises unto me, saying...”
Only the inner Christ can save the initiate and settle the debts.
This is only possible based on great repentance and profound comprehension.
The region of the twenty-four Elders is the Thirteenth Aeon.
The twenty-four Elders are within us. They are the twenty-four zodiacal parts of our own Being.
The twenty-four Elders know the human soul very well.
The twenty-four Elders know that Christ is the central fire of the Earth.
Christ is I.N.R.I., the central fire of the Earth and of every sun or galaxy.
The living or philosophical fire burns within the nucleus of every cosmic unity.
Sophia singeth the praises of the Light to her fellow-invisibles
1. I will give thanks unto Thee, O Light, for thou art a Saviour; thou art a deliverer for all time.
2. I will utter this song to the Light, for it hath saved me and saved me out of the hand of the rulers, my foes.
3. And thou hast preserved me in all the regions, thou hast saved me out of the height and the depth of the chaos and out of the aeons of the rulers of the sphere.
4. And when I was come out of the Height, I wandered round in regions in which is no light, and I could not return to the thirteenth aeon, my dwelling-place.
5. For there was no light in me nor power. My power was utterly weakened.
6. And the Light saved me in all my afflictions. I sang praises unto the Light, and it hearkened unto me, when I was constrained.
7. It guided me in the creation of the aeons to lead me up into the thirteenth aeon, my dwelling-place.
8. I will give thanks unto thee, O Light, that thou hast saved me, and for thy wondrous works unto the race of men.
9. When I failed of my power, thou hast given me power; and when I failed of my light, thou didst fill me with purified light.
10. I was in the darkness and in the shadow of the chaos, bound with the mighty fetters of the chaos, and no light was in me.
11. For I have provoked the commandment of the Light and have transgressed, and I have made wroth the commandment of the Light, because I had gone out of my region.
12. And when I had gone down, I failed of my light and became without light, and no one had helped me.
13. And in my affliction I sang praises unto the Light, and it saved me out of my afflictions.
14. And it hath also broken asunder all my bonds and led me up out of the darkness and the affliction of the chaos.
15. I will give thanks unto thee, O Light, that thou hast saved me and that thy wondrous works have been wrought in the race of men.
16. And thou hast shattered the upper gates of the darkness and the mighty bolts of the chaos.
17. And thou didst let me depart out of the region in which I had transgressed, and my light was taken, because I have transgressed.
18. And I ceased from my mysteries and went down to the gates of the chaos.
19. And when I was constrained, I sang praises to the Light. It saved me out of all my afflictions.
20. Thou sentest thy stream; it gave me power and saved me out of all my afflictions.
21. I will give thanks unto thee, O Light, that thou hast saved me, and for thy wondrous works in the race of men.
“This then is the song which Pistis Sophia hath uttered in the midst of the four-and-twenty invisibles, desiring that they should all of the wondrous works which I had done for her, and desiring that they should know that I have gone to the world of men and have given them the mysteries of the Height. Now, therefore, who is exalted in his thought, let him come forward and say the solution of the song which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”
Christ is the Light and life. Whosoever trusts in Him will never be in darkness.
The enemy Rulers are the agents of the law.
Nevertheless, we must comprehend the significance of the parable. The masters of karma are obliged to administer the law.
Great dangers exist in the Heights, just as in the profundities of the Chaos and out of the Aeons.
The Rulers of the Sphere always call upon us to pay our debts in the tribunals of objective justice.
When the initiate provokes the one who commands the Light and violates the law, then the one who commands the law punishes him.
The inner Christ has to work intensely within the initiated human being in order to disintegrate the undesirable psychic elements and save him.
The violator of the law lives in the regions where the law has transgressed, but the inner Christ, with compassion, allows him to depart from these regions, with the condition of supreme repentance.
The fallen initiate loses his sacred mysteries and falls into the prisons of the Chaos.
The inner Christ descends to the world of men each time when necessary and gives them the mysteries of the Heights.
The Lord always reincarnates Himself when religion decreases and degenerates and when evil takes force.
