Chapter 89

Mary further questioneth Jesus

It came to pass then, when Mary had heard the Saviour say these words, that she rejoiced with great joy and exulted exceedingly and said unto Jesus, “My Lord, by how much greatness then is the second Helper greater than the first Helper? By how much distance is he distant from him, or rather how many times more does he shine than the latter?”


The Second Helper and the First Helper are autonomous and self-cognizant parts of our own Being.

Jesus explained all of this very well, so there is no need to comment about it.

Of the second Helper

Jesus answered and said unto Mary in the midst of the disciples: “Amen, amen, I say unto you: The second Helper is distant from the first Helper in great immeasurable distance in regard to the height above and the depth below and the length and the breadth. For he is exceedingly distant from him in great immeasurable distance through the angels and all the archangels and through the gods and all the invisibles. And he is very considerably greater than the latter in an incalculable measure through the angels and archangels and through the gods and all the invisibles. And he shineth more than the latter in an utterly immeasurable measure, there being no measure for the light in which he is, and no measure for him through angels and archangels and through the gods and all the invisibles, as I have already said unto you at another time.”


It is clear that the distance from the Second Helper to the First Helper is an immeasurable, intimate distance in regards to the divine height above, and the depth below, and the length and breadth. People do not understand these immeasurable, psychological distances. Thus, the Second Helper is considerably much greater and psychologically exalted than the First.

Of the third, fourth, and fifth Helpers

“In like manner also the third Helper and fourth and fifth Helper, — one is greater than the other ...and shineth more than the latter and is distant from fim in a great immeasurable distance through the angels and archangels and the gods and all the invisibles, as I have already said unto you at another time. And I will tell unto you also the type of every one [of them] at their expansion.”


The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Helpers shine marvelously. In the depth, these Five Helpers are: Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Michael, Samael. It is clear that these five have their exponents in the Human Soul of every living creature.
