Confessio Fidei

From the AGC website:

In the name of the unknown Father of all, by Aletheia, the Mother of all, by the name which descended upon Jesus,

We affirm that there is One, Ineffable Godhead, which first manifests as the primal Dyad, Bythos (Depth) and Ennoia (Silence), and that from this Dyad emanated the Aeons of the Pleroma: the Ogdoad, the Decad and the Dodecad.  

The fall of Sophia, the youngest of the Aeons, gave birth to the Kenoma, the realm of deficiency and ignorance.  She gave shape to the world of the Kenoma through the agency of the Demiurge, for the purpose of bringing the Spiritual Seed to maturity.

We affirm the work of redemption through the descent of the Aeon Jesus, who is joined to Sophia Achamoth as Bride and Bridegroom.

We confess the doctrine of Emanation and Salvation through Gnosis, which is the noetic apprehension of spiritual truths and spiritual union with the Pleroma.

We confess the Church of the Holy Gnostic Assembly, the earthly manifestation of the pre-existent Ekklesia, directed by Our Lady the Holy Spirit.

We wait for the advent of Our Lady Pneuma Hagion, the eternal Feminine.   

We aspire to the world of the Lord, the Ogdoad. The Feast of the Marriage of the Lamb will take place there. The Pneumatics will receive angels for spouses, and their love will be eternal.

We acknowledge only one law, the Law of the Kingdom given to us by the Aeon Jesus:

Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The Faith of Henry Corbin “Earth-Angel-Woman”

Of course, we do well to appreciate the particular nature of this “guardian angel”, who is, for Henry Corbin, the “angel of the incarnated soul”, and, in the circumstance of his death, very precisely “the celestial figure that comes face to face with the soul at the dawn of its eternity”.  Elsewhere, he would also speak of the Fravartis, as “guardian angels”.  It is, he adds, necessary to conceive of the guardian angel as celestial pole, the celestial self of a being whose totality is bipolar and constitutes a bi-unity, that of an earthly form and of a celestial form which is its superior counterpart”.

We may call to mind the admirable pages which he consecrated to the figure of the Daênâ, “the tutelary Angel”, and to its post mortem encounter with the human soul: “to the amazed soul’s question, asking “who then are you?” of the young girl who advances at the entrance of the Chinvat Bridge and whose beauty is more resplendent than any other beauty ever seen in the material world, the latter answers: “I am your own Daênâ”, -which means: I am, in person, the faith that you professed and that which inspired it in you, she for whom you have answered and she who guided you, she who comforted you and she who now judges you, for I am, in person, the Image proposed to you from the birth of your being and the Image which finally you have yourself wished for (“I was beautiful, you have made me still more beautiful”).
