It came to pass then, when the First Mystery had heard these words, that he said: “Well said, James, beloved one.”
And the First Mystery continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: “It came to pass, when I had led Pistis Sophia out of the chaos, that she cried out again and said...”
In the Chaos, without light, the initiate suffers indescribably.
Sophia singeth a song of praise
1. I am saved out of the chaos and loosed from the bonds of the darkness. I am come unto thee, O Light.
2. For thou wert light on all sides of me, saving me and helping me.
3. And the emanations of Self-willed, which fought against me, thou hast hindered through thy light, and they could not come nigh me: for thy light was with me and saved me through thy light-stream.
4. Because in sooth the emanations of Self-willed constrained me, they took from me my power and cast me out into the chaos with no light in me. So I became as heavy-weighing matter in comparison with them.
5. And thereafter came a light-stream unto me through thee which saved me; it shone on my left and on my right and surrounded me on all sides of me, so that no part of me was without light.
6. And thou hast covered me with the light of thy stream and purged from me all my evil matters; and I shall be relieved of all my matters because of thy light.
7. And it is thy light-stream which hath raised me up and taken from me the emanations of Self-willed which constrained me.
8. And I have become sure-trusting in thy light and purified light in thy stream.
9. And the emanations of Self-willed which constrained me have withdrawn themselves from me; and I shone in thy great power, for thou savest for ever.
“This is the repentance which Pistis Sophia hath uttered when she came forth out of the chaos and was freed from the bonds of the chaos. Now, therefore, who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Only the Christic light-stream can save the fallen initiate.
The Christic power illuminates the intelligent rebel who marches on the Path of the Middle.
The Christic light-stream saves us from the Pratyeka Buddhas of the Right and from the tenebrous adepts of the Left.
The evil matters of the undesirable psychic elements that the initiate carries within are eliminated by the Christic light-stream.
The ineffable Isis (the divine and venerable Saitic Mother of ancient Egyptian mysteries) as a light-stream from Her Son Christ, eliminates the compelling emanations of Self-willed.
Isis, whose veil no mortal has lifted, is the daughter of Her Son, the terrific Christic light-stream.
In one of Schillers’ poems, a young boy who dared to lift the veil of the Saitic Mother instantaneously fell to death when he saw the naked Truth in the face of the Goddess.
Whosoever has ears to hear, let him hear, and whosoever has understanding, let him understand, for there is wisdom within.
