The Eternal Realms Are Completed (112,19-114,8)

 

(p.294) Then the holy apostles said to him, " Master, Savior, tell us about those

who are in the eternal realms, for we must ask about them. "

 

The perfect Savior said, " Whatever you ask about I shall tell you. These beings

created hosts of angels, myriads without number, to serve and glorify them. They

created virgin spirits, ineffable [indescribable] and unchangeable lights, and

they are free of sickness and weakness. There is will, and they come to be at

once. [37]

 

" Thus the eternal realms were completed, quickly, with the heavens and

firmaments, in the glory of the immortal Human and his companion Sophia. This is

where every realm and the world and those that were to follow got their ideas

for their creation of patterns in the heavens of chaos and their worlds. All

natures, beginning with the revelation of chaos, are in the light that shines

with no shadow but with indescribable joy and unspeakable praise. They continue

to rejoice over their unfading glory and immeasurable rest, which cannot be

described among all the realms that came to be later and all their powers. I

have said all this to you so that you might shine in light even more brightly

than these. "
