The Story of Earthly Adam (BG 8502 119,17-121,13)

 

(p.295) " That droplet revealed the forms they shaped, through breath, as a

living soul. This was withered and asleep in the ignorance of the soul. When

this being was warmed by the breath of the bright light of the male, he

formulated a thought, and names were given to everything in the world of chaos,

through the immortal one, when breath blew into him. [44] This happened by the

will of Mother Sophia, so that the immortal Human might reassemble the garments

there as judgment against those who are robbers. Then <he> welcomed the breath

that was blown, but he was like soul and could not assume that power until the

number of chaos and the time set by the great angel could be complete. [45]
