Gabriel and Michael are summoned to help Pistis Sophia
The First Mystery again continued and said: “It came to pass, therefore, that the power which had come out of the Height, that is I, in that my Father sent me to save Pistis Sophia out of the Chaos, [that] I, therfore, and also the power which did go from me, and the soul which I had received from Sabaoth, the Good, — they drew towards one another and become a single light-stream, which shone very exceedingly. I called down Gabriel and Michael out of the aeons, at the command of my Father, the First Mystery which looketh within, and I gave unto them the light-stream and let them go down into the chaos to help Pistis Sophia and to take from the emanations of Self-willed the light-powers they had taken from her, and give them to Pistis Sophia.
“And straightaway, when they had brought down the light-stream into the chaos, it shone most exceedingly in the whole of the chaos, and spread itself over all their regions. And when the emanations of Self-willed had seen the great light of that stream, they were terror-stricken one with the other. And that stream drew forth out of them all the light-powers which they had taken from Pistis Sophia, and the emanations of Self-willed could not dare to lay hold of that light-stream in the dark chaos; nor could they lay hold of it with the art of Self-willed, who ruleth over the emanations.”
Christ is the power that comes from the Height.
Christ is the Saviour of Pistis Sophia.
Pistis Sophia could not depart from the Chaos if it was not for the inner Christ.
The initiate, filled with Pistis Sophia, departs from the Chaos, thanks to the inner Christ.
The power that comes from Christ is a sunderable part of Christ.
The sunderable part of Christ gives the erotic impulse to the human being.
The sunderable part of Christ, or better said, the living double of Christ, is Lucifer, the Maker of Light.
Thanks to the Maker of Light, Pistis Sophia is liberated.
The powers of Christ are found placed within the double of Christ.
The power that comes from the inner Christ and the Christified Soul of Sabaoth, the Good, are joined, are integrated. They make themselves one single stream of light, a single total.
Thus the Human-Christ, revested with the Soma Psuchikon, is a resplendent whole.
Gabriel, as a regent of the Moon, is one of the planetary Genii.
Yet, the inner Gabriel is something distinct. He is one of the autonomous and conscious parts of our own Being.
The inner Gabriel governs our Psychological Moon.
The Psychological Moon also has two faces, the visible and the hidden.
All of our psychological defects, visible to simple sight are in the visible part of the Psychological Moon.
However, the secret defects are found in the hidden part of our own Psychological Moon.
It is obvious that defects, psychic aggregates and perversities that we do not even remotely suspect, exist in the hidden part of our own Psychological Moon.
Michael in the Sun is an ineffable Archangel. Yet, Michael within us is different. Michael is an independent and conscious part of our own Being.
Our readers must not forget the forty-nine fires.
Obviously, the forty-nine fires are the forty-nine independent and conscious parts of our own Being.
Michael and Gabriel, who symbolize the Sun and the Moon, the Sulphur and the Mercury, serve the alchemist in order to perform the Great Work.
Thanks to the magistracy of the fire, the initiates filled with Pistis Sophia can rescue and take the Light of the consciousness that is imprisoned in the psychic aggregates.
It is clear that the psychic aggregates (within which the Light of the consciousness is imprisoned) are Dry Mercury.
We must annihilate the psychic aggregates and the Arsenic Sulphur.
The arsenic, poisonous Sulphur is an infernal type of fire within the lower animal depths of the human being.
The Arsenic Sulphur is that horrible Python serpent that slithered in the mud of the earth and that the irritated Apollo hurt with his darts. It is the tail of Satan.
We must distinguish between Satan and Lucifer. Satan is the devil, black as coal, the fallen Lucifer.
We must whitewash the devil. This is only possible by practicing Sexual Magic intensely and by disintegrating the ego.
Humanity has converted Lucifer into the devil.
Each one of us must whitewash his particular devil in order to convert him into Lucifer.
When Lucifer shines within ourselves, he converts himself into our particular, individual Moses.
Fortunate is the one who integrates himself with his own Moses.
Moses, descending from Sinai with the luminous horns upon his forehead, deserved to be chiselled by Michelangelo.
The doctrine of Moses is the doctrine of Lucifer.
Christus-Lucifer is our Saviour, the Redeemer of Pistis Sophia.
Christus-Lucifer grasps the scale and the sword as a lord of justice.
Lucifer, integrated with the inner Christ, shines in Sabaoth, the Solar Human.
The Heavenly Sabaoth crystallizes within the Sabaoth-Human, thanks to the inner Moses.
Sabaoth-Moses are totally integrated.
Sabaoth is the internal God who must crystallize in the human person, thanks to the good duties of Lucifer.
The Antichrist, the ego, knows nothing about these things. He merely wants a mechanical man and a universe that was originated by chance, an absurd miracle from a reason without reason.
On the other hand, religion hates Lucifer, and curses Him without knowing that he is the sunderable part of the inner Christ.
The processes of cells and atoms would not be possible without the existence of intelligent, igneous principles. Those who ignore this fact are as ignorant as those religious fanatics who hate Lucifer.
Christus-Lucifer is the Saviour within each one of us.
The light-stream—which means, the Human-Christ—shines in the Chaos and in all regions.
The demons are terrified before the presence of the Human-Christ.
The Human-Christ is revested with all the Light-Powers that the tenebrous ones had taken away from Pistis Sophia.
The tenebrous ones never dare to touch the Human-Christ in the dark Chaos.
The ego, the red demons of Seth, run away from the presence of the Human-Christ in the Chaos.
The light-stream restoreth the light-powers to Sophia
“And Gabriel and Michael led the light-stream over the body of the matter of Pistis Sophia and poured into her all the light-powers which they had taken from her. And the body of her matter became shining throughout, and all the powers in her whose light they had taken away, took light and ceased to lack their light, for they got their light which had been taken from them, because the light was given them through me. And Michael and Gabriel, who ministered and had brought the light-stream into the chaos, will give them the mysteries of the Light; it is they to whom the light-stream was entrusted, which I have given unto them and brought into the chaos. And Michael and Gabriel have taken no light for themselves from the lights of Sophia, which they had taken from the emanations of Self-willed.
“It came to pass then, when the light-stream had ingathered into Pistis Sophia all her light-powers, which it had taken from the emanations of Self-willed, that she became shining throughout; and the light-powers in Pistis Sophia, which the emanations of Self-willed had not taken, became joyful again and filled themselves with light. And the lights which were poured into Pistis Sophia, quickened the body of her matter, in which no light was present, and which was on the point of perishing or perished. And they raised up all her powers which were on the point of being dissolved. And they took unto themselves a light-power and became again as they were before, and they increased again in their sense of the Light. And all the light-powers of Sophia knew themselves mutually through my light-stream and were saved through the light of that stream.”
Mercury and Sulphur are the elements of the Great Work.
Pistis Sophia can reconquer her powers only by means of Mercury and Sulphur.
The initiate personally shines with the powers that divinize.
The powers that had been lost are precisely the forty-nine autonomous and self-cognizant parts of our own Being.
Each one and all of the autonomous and conscious parts of our own Being are precisely the cosmic powers of Pistis Sophia.
Each power is personified by one or another self-cognizant part of our own Being.
Three types of relations exist in the world and in life.
The first one is the relation with the physical body. It is clear that if we do not know how to relate with our physical body, we will become ill.
The second type is the relation with the environment. If we do not know how to relate with people, we undoubtedly create many problems for ourselves.
The third type is the most important relation. It is the relation of the human being dealing with himself, with the distinct, independent, and conscious parts of his own Being.
The powers of the Adept are precisely the autonomous and self-cognizant parts of our own Being.
We can establish correct relations with each one and all of the independent and conscious parts of our own Being, only by passing through the Buddhist Annihilation.
Therefore, to covet psychic powers is absurd.
Those who proceed like this convert themselves into adepts of the Left hand.
It is better to annihilate the ego in order to establish correct relations with the powers that divinize.
The powers that divinize are the forty-nine fires.
The forty-nine fires are the forty-nine independent and self-cognizant parts of our own Being.
It is clear that the initiate, filled with Pistis Sophia, re-conquers the light that the psychic aggregates have taken away from within each one of the forty-nine parts of the Being.
The diverse parts of the Being receive the light through Christ.
Gabriel, the Mercury, and Michael, the Sulphur, permits us to enter into the mysteries of the Light, into the Great Work.
We can receive the light-stream, thanks to Mercury and Sulphur.
Neither the Mercury nor the Sulphur ever plunder the Light of lights of Pistis Sophia.
Rather, Gabriel and Michael take away the light from the Self-willed, the ego, the light that had been stolen by the psychic aggregates.
Pistis Sophia becomes luminous when the light-stream extracts, or liberates the Essence which was bottled up within the emanations of the Self-willed (the ego).
We know very well that the integrated light-stream is Christ-Sabaoth or Lucifer-Sabaoth.
The Light-Powers return to Pistis Sophia when all the undesirable elements of Self-willed have been annihilated.
The Body of Gold, To Soma Heliakon, with which Pistis Sophia is dressed, shines with the lights that have been poured into Pistis Sophia.
It is obvious that when Pistis Sophia lets herself fall, she loses To Soma Heliakon, the Body of Gold of the Solar Human.
The powers of Pistis Sophia are elevated when the ego has been annihilated.
The powers of Pistis Sophia are renewed in the Light and grow towards the Light when the ego has died.
The light stream, having accomplished its purpose, departeth from Sophia
“And my light-stream, when it had taken away the lights from the emanations of Self-willed, which they had taken away from Pistis Sophia, poured them into Pistis Sophia, and turned itself about and went up out of the chaos.”
The light-stream, Christus-Lucifer, takes away the lights from within the diverse aggregates, in order to return them to Pistis Sophia.
The light-stream turns itself about and goes up out of the profundity of the Chaos.
The light-stream liberates the powers of Pistis Sophia, and returns them to her interior.
