The Child of God and Sophia, Love, Appear (103,22-106,9)

 

(p.291) Then Bartholomew said to him, " How is it that this being was called a

human being and the Son of Humanity [27] in the gospel? To which of these

figures is the Son related? "

 

The Holy One said to him, " I want you to know that the first Human is referred

to as the one who conceives, the self-perfected mind. (p.292) He reflected with

his companion great Sophia and disclosed his first-begotten androgynous child.

Its male name is first-begetting Son of God, its female name first-begetting

Sophia, Mother of the universe. Some call her love, and the first-begotten is

called Christ. With authority from his Father, he created a host of angels

without number to serve him, from spirit and light. "

 

His disciples said to him, " Master, tell us about the one called the Human, so

that we also might have a precise understanding of his glory. "

 

The perfect Savior said, " Whoever has ears to hear should hear. The

first-conceiving father is called Adam, eye of light, because he came from

shining light, and his holy angels, ineffable [indescribable] and with no

shadow, constantly rejoice in their reflections, received from their father. The

entire kingdom of the Child of Humanity, who is called the Son of God, is full

of ineffable joy, with no shadow, and eternal praise. They rejoice over his

imperishable glory, which until now has never been heard and never been revealed

in the aeons [eternal realms] that came later and their worlds.

 

" I have come from the self-conceived one and the first infinite light, to reveal

everything to you. "
