It came to pass when the First Mystery had heard Matthew speak these words, that he said: “Well spoken, Matthew, and finely, beloved. This is the solution of the song which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”
The hostile emanations of Self-willed are precisely the irradiations or manifestations of the subjective and inhuman “egoic consciousness.”
Sophia continueth to sing
And the First Mystery continued again and said:
1. I will declare: Thou art the higher Light, for that hast saved me and led me unto thee, and thou hast not let the emanations of Self-willed, which are hostile unto me, take my light.
2. O Light of lights, I sing praises unto thee; thou hast saved me.
3. O Light, thou hast led up my power out of the chaos; thou hast saved me from them which have gone down into the darkness.
“These words again hath Pistis Sophia uttered. Now, therefore, whose mind hath become understanding, comprehending the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered, let him come forward and set forth their solution.”
The Light of lights saves us intimately when we work in the Great Work.
They, the tenebrous ones, descend into the darkness of the No-Being and reduce themselves into atomic dust.
Mary, Marah, Isis, Adonia, Tonantzin, is the Divine Mother Kundalini, the Woman-Serpent.
Peter must deny Christ three times; it is written: “Before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.”
These are the three purifications based upon iron and fire, before the resurrection of the inner Christ within ourselves.
Peter must descend to the Abyss three times, in order to work in the darkness.
The cock is Gaio, IAO, the Mercury of the secret philosophy.
The triumph of Gaio is the success of the Sulphuric Mercury, the resurrection of the Lord.
Mary is afraid of Peter
It came to pass then, when the First Mystery had finished speaking these words unto the disciples, that Mary came forward and said: “My Lord, my mind is ever understanding, at every time to come forward and set forth the solution of the words which she hath uttered; but I am afraid of Peter, because he threatened me and hateth our sex.”
And when she had said this, the First Mystery said unto her: “Every one who shall be filled with the spirit of light come forward and set forth the solution of what I say, — no one shall be able to prevent him. Now, therefore, O Mary, set forth then the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered.”
Then Mary answered and said unto the First Mystery in the midst of the disciples: “My Lord, concerning the solution of the words which Pistis Sophia hath uttered, thus hath thy light-power prophesied afore time through David...”
Marah, the Divine Mother Kundalini, knows very well that the Light-Power of the inner Christ was prophesied through David, King of Zion.
Mary interpreteth the Song of Sophia from Psalm XXIX [Modern Psalm 30]
1. I will exalt thee, O Lord, for thou hast received me, and thou hast not made glad my foes over me.
2. O Lord, my God, I cried up unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3. O Lord, thou hast led up my soul out of hell; thou hast saved me from them which have gone down into the pit.
The Lord saves us from the infernos. The Lord liberates us from within the womb of the psychic aggregates that have fallen in the infernal worlds.
