Sophia begot Barbelo
68Thinking the half thought from the whole thought perspective
"And the
Sophia of the Epinoia, being an aeon, conceived a thought from herself and the
conception of the invisible Spirit and foreknowledge. She
wanted to bring forth a likeness out of herself without the consent of the spirit he had not approved - and
without her consort, and without his consideration. And though the person of
her maleness had not approved, and she had not found her agreement, and she had
thought without the consent of the Spirit and the knowledge
of her agreement, (yet) she brought forth. And because of the invincible power
which is in her, her thought did not remain idle, and something came out of her
which was imperfect and different from her appearance, because she had created
it without her consort. And it was dissimilar to the likeness of its mother,
for it has another form.” The Apocarphya of John para. 25, The Nag Hammadi library.
Sophia Begot Barbelo
Once upon a bygone time,
Before the time of nursery rhymes
When water flowed with finite brine
Epinoia spewed perfume’s divine
But there was no nose to smell her vine
No tongue to taste her fruits of wine
No ear to listen to music chimes
No eyes to see radiant beauty shine
No touch to caress in evening time.
And as the fountain of all radiance
She spewed star dust, The First aether Dance.
birthed daughter Sophia; Mother’s first romance
a mirror of magic in winds of enhance.
A mother'’s child full grown one day
And taught her love a virgin'’s way
Together breathing garden spray
In radiance of heaven’s play.
The power of virgins flew far away
Came down to earth and kissed the clay
And man appeared in break of day
As girls made boys to share and play.
And as earth crust twisted, spun and turned
Boiling hot oil within her burned
A ball of butter melted churned
Made cosmic fire explode her ferns.
The sun shone hot to bake her clay
As spinning mass made night and day
An atmosphere to soothe the blaze
As heavens called; her dead man raised
To rapture some to Mother’s womb above
All woman’s spirits cooed like doves
Gave every life a taste of love
As newly open eyes birthed new mirrors of.
Love was the essence of her connection
Robbers came; taught man insurrection
And made clay genders with sore infection
To mine for gold little idol defections.
And stars on high cried heaving tears
As gasses flamed and terrors smeared
And gods fought earth as man stole gears
And soured the wine;
binding woman in fear.
And earthquakes rocked; volcanoes blew
As boiling lava overflowed
And hurricanes made cleansing news
Tsunami tidal waves came through.
And heavens pulled the earth apart
As ozone holes exposed hind parts
When fiery oil spilled gusher starts
Made men to die from weak failed hearts.
And Mother’s womb took back her chord
They didn'’t know that She was Lord
And all
men died in one accord
Abel returned to mother'’s Orb.

The first emanation of the Absolute, and the source of all subsequent
manifestation is a female principle, variously referred to as Thought,
Providence, Fore-thought or Foreknowledge (in Greek all these words have female gender), and
"Barbelo".
Gnostic cosmology casts the female creator principle in a dual
role. In fact there are two Divine Mothers. The higher one, Barbelo, is the
creative Thought of the ineffable Parent, who may also descend for the purpose
of salvation of those below. The lower one, Sophia, is the accidental creator
of the ignorant demiurge who made the cosmos, but also works to free the divine
spirit captured by the demiurge in human form.
In the Apocryphon of John, Barbelo is described as "The first power, the
glory, Barbelo, the perfect glory in the aions, the glory of the
revelation." [Nag Hammadi Library,
p.101]. In the somewhat later external link The Gospel of the Egyptians the emphasis shifts
somewhat. There is not one but three powers are emanated by the "Great
Invisible Spirit, the unnameable Parent, the eternal light of the aions."
These are the Father, the Mother (identified with Barbelo), and the Son, each
of which is an octet (eight-fold).
The writer of the Apocrphon of John continues:
"This is the First Thought, His Image; She became the womb of everything
for She is prior to them all, the Mother-Father, the
First Man [Anthropos], the Holy spirit, the Thrice-Male, the Thrice-Powerful, the
Thrice-named Androgynous One, and the Eternal Aeon among the
Invisible Ones, and the first to come forth."
This list of appellations is only comprehensible when taken in its correct
context. The reference to "thrice-male" reflects the chauvinistic
bias that occurs even in Hellenistic Gnosticism; "male" in this
context meaning "spirit" or purity (note also "Father" as
the term for the Absolute; a term popular not only in Christianity, but in the Platonism
that proceeded it as well; although the translation "Parent"
would also be valid). "Thrice" indicates greatness, or supremely, (as
in "Thrice-greatest Hermes"). Or the hebrew saying "if three
times then it is so." In Gnostic argon, "male" indicates membership in the incorruptible realm, thus
even Barbelo is described as "male". "Androgynous" (including
both male and female qualities) means that this first principle embodies within
itself the opposites as unity. The psychologist Carl Jung
had a great deal to say regarding the Divine Androgyne as the principle for the
unification of opposites. Most interesting, however, is the reference to the
Supreme Godhead as Anthropos (a non-gender-specific term meaning
"Man/Woman" or human being). This has parallels with the Indian Vedic
Purusha (Primordial Godhead Person) myth; as well as with the (possibly
Gnostically derived) Kabbalistic
idea of Adom Cadmon primordial Man". In all these
cosmologies there is the representation of the original Divine Personality as a
sort of supra-cosmic person.
Barbelo calls on the
invisible Spirit (a typical anthropomorphism, confusing the Divine with
the human; a Divine emanation does not have to request or pray to the higher
Godhead in order to attain something) to actualise four of her attributes as
separate hypostases: Foreknowledge, Indestructability, Eternal Life, and Truth.
Each of these came forth in turn. But still they are not some-thing separate
from her, but rather part of a single whole, the "five-aeon", of
which she is the core.
"This is the Five-Aeon of the Father which is the First Man
[Anthropos], the Image of the Invisible
Spirit; it is the Pronoia [Providence] which is Barbelo, the Thought and the
Foreknowledge and the Indestructability and the Eternal Life and the Truth.
This is the androgynous Five-Aeon, which is the Ten-Aeon [because each of the
five principles is androgynous], which is the Father." [p.102]
In this Gnostic account we see an interesting parallel with Tantric) Buddhism, which describes the emanation of the first of the Tathagata
Buddhas, Vairochana, from the Absolute or Dharmakaya, and the other four
Tathagatas from Vairochana. In both there is the same numeric sequence: from
the Absolute comes the One, from the One Four more, making a complete mandala
of Five (the centre and the four cardinal points). Clearly, what is indicated
here is an account of the nature of the emanation of Divine Principles,
inasmuch as such is comprehensible to the human mind.
Such religious-meditative Mandalas, with their four-fold structure, are
spontaneous attempts by the human psyche to represent the nature of the
manifest Godhead.
Apocryphia of John, poetry by N usher, revised and edited.
But the flesh is male, created by the spirit
which is all female. The spirit
created the flesh and then worked through it to recreate it. Therefore there
is no gender. All flesh is male, the spirit
female.
So Epinoia is the very first god. And without full consent, without getting the
ok from the whole thought, a part of the thought, thought, lets bring this
thought to
fruition. Not knowing if the whole thought ever even
thought that thought, it thunk it's thought!!!!!
So epinoia gives birth to Sophia, Sophia thinks she's the all of it, but she
isn't. So she's wrong and produces her own image, so the image isn't even
whole.
We were created in her image!!! Not the whole image. So that is why we are the
human condition in the fallen state. We are barbelo, the first born of
Sophia. This is what the egyptians called horus.
So we were created in God's image, Sophia wanting form, or flesh, and we are
not the whole, image, This is why eve ate the
apple. Past based conditional reality, judgement comes when you split in half.
why?? because you kill the third.
We must want to be part of the whole thought again. The complete thought.
Crowley
said that this would be the age of Horus, (barbelo) because he was reaffirming
man's fall, half thought, half life. Do what thow wilt, that is the
whole of the law.!!!! That is Sofphia, and she cohorts with any form here
because this affirms her identity!!!!She is the whore of Babylon.
And the beast is nothing
more than her creation. It is Epinioa that we must return to. God receives
a new name!!!!
Epinioa, the whole thought. Therein lies the reality of dreams, and the reality
of the consciousness of death. The whole thought must include this.
Lucifer is just the idea that we validate our existencce by our own mother
Sophia, we are the child of Sophia, we are Barbelo, this has been the age of
Horus. His time has come to an end. His consciousness, the whole of it, of the
flesh, has been realized, and we must return to the whole or complete
thought. Which actually destroys or swallows up the half thoughts of Sophia.
I pray one day you will understand this. We were made in the fallen image. The
whole image was not taken into consideration. Understand that the whole
image is ever before us, we just refuse to see it, because then our existence
wouldn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
This is why we need self importance, this is why we seek fame, to keep our
individual image ever before the world. Hey look at me, I'm one. And then
wanting
the grand scheme of things, the we, the collective consciousness to nod in
agreement. How hypocritical. This is Lucifer, son of the morning star.
That must be destroyed. Ultimate individualism must lead back to collectivism;
it is why we have a Commie for a president.
The dark knight is a sentinel for Sophia, to keep things the way they are, burn
off the dross, the consciousness of any man to do it. This is the psyche behind
what we call evil in this world. And yet it's not, it's self survival. The
collective consciousness, knowing it is wrong is trying to keep the individual
alive.!!!
