Sophia, by Mary Plaster


"I address myself to you because you are my friend,
my servant and the prelate of my Albigensian Church.
I am exiled from the Pleroma, and it is I whom Valentinus named Sophia-Achamôth.
It is I whom Simon Magus called Helene-Ennoia;
for I am the Eternal Androgyne.
Jesus is the Word of God;
I am the Thought of God.
One day I shall remount to my Father, but I require aid in this;
it requires the supplication of my Brother Jesus to intercede for me.
Only the Infinite is able to redeem the Infinite,
and only God is able to redeem God.
Listen well:
The One has brought forth One, then One.
And the Three are but One: the Father, the Word and the Thought.
Establish my Gnostic Church.
The Demiurge will be powerless against it.
Receive the Paraclete."

They affirm that the Lord came in the last times of the world to endure suffering, for this end, that He might indicate the passion which occurred to the last of the Aeons, and might by His own end announce the cessation of that disturbance which had risen among the Aeons. They maintain, further, that that girl of twelve years old, the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue, to whom the Lord approached and raised her from the dead, was a type of [Sophia] Achamoth, to whom their Christ, by extending himself, imparted shape, and whom he led anew to the perception of that light which had forsaken her.   (Irenaeus)
