| | Pistis Sophia |
| | Sophia (Wisdom) itself was regarded by the early Coptics as a female presence who undergoes the experience of transgression and redemption in her path to full participation in the many universes, in conjunction with the Christ. | | | Like the Gospel of Thomas and other recently discovered documents of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Pistis Sophia is devoted entirely to the esoteric teachings of Jesus to his disciples. | | | This book, whose title unites the Greek words for "Faith" and "Wisdom", was used as a sacred text by the early Coptic Church community of Egypt in the 2nd century AD. |

| | And I brought forth the Pistis Sophia from the Chaos, while she trampled on the emanation of the Authades with a serpent-face; and furthermore she trampled upon the emanation with a basilisk-face with seven heads ; and she trampled upon the power with a lion-face, and the dragon-face. | | | Now, O my Lord, this is the whole interpretation of the repentance which the Pistis Sophia spoke when she was saved from the Chaos, and she was released from the bonds of darkness. | | | Now, O my Lord, this is the interpretation of the repentance which the Pistis Sophia spoke when she was saved from the Chaos. |

| | And as another echo of the rising of the Pistis Sophia, is the Gnostic, syriac poem of the "Hymn of the Pearl", dated 936 c.e., which describes the initiate rising into the original kingdom, clothed into a pure Light vesture. | | | The second one, which is unknown, is the one that organises the universe of the gnostics, that "Kingdom of Light" which is not of this world, but to which the Gospel of John (18,3) alludes, and which Valentinus calls the Sophia. | | | The author was Jan Van Rijckenborgh, who founded the Spiritual School of the Golden Rosycross, a school of gnostic philosophy, in 1924. |

| | This is the interpretation of the ninth repentance of the Pistis Sophia. | | | It happened, however, when Jesus finished saying these words to his disciples, saying: "This is the third repentance which the Pistis Sophia said", he said to them : "Let him in whom the Spirit of perception has arisen, come forward and speak with understanding of the repentance which the Pistis Sophia said". | | | Now it happened, as Jesus said these words to his disciples, he said to them : "This is the song of praise which the Pistis Sophia spoke in the first repentance, as she repented for her sin. |

| | Pistis Sophia: A Gnostic Gospel by George Robert Stowe Mead, Paul Tice - at Seeker Books |
| | Pistis is indeed a rare gospel: it tells of the secret words that you must say for you to reach the highest God and Goddess (not the God of creation); it informs you of the many gods and goddesses that exist and the levels of space they occupy. | | | Their teachers were persecuted and most documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. | | | Early Christian mystical groups were called Gnostics, meaning those who know, because of their spiritual knowledge. |

| | xxix) Sophia, daughter of Barbelos, originally dwelt in the highest, or thirteenth heaven, but she is seduced by the demon Authades by means of a ray of light, which she mistook as an emanation from the First Father. | | | According to the Pistis Sophia, the three Apostles Matthew [read Matthias], Thomas, and Philip received a Divine commission to report all Christ's revelations after His Resurrection. | | | In the Coptic Books (Pistis Sophia, 142; II Jeû, 45-47) we find a long description of some apparently Eucharistic ceremonies carried out by Jesus Himself. |

| | The Pistis Sophia records that it is not only the disciples that the Lord has gathered to teach, but "the disciples and women" to whom He is giving this heavenly instruction. | | | Curiously enough, the Pistis Sophia account of the Lord's teachings begins with a record of things the Lord has not taught the disciples prior to this visit. | | | Specifically, I will focus on the books of First and Second Jeu and the Pistis Sophia. |

| | In 1925, in the foreword to his "Die Gnostiker" (once again appearing in the Baumann Verlag Bad Schmiedeberg) the "Pistis Sophia" is accorded the status of an "actual" Gnostic scripture. | | | The book contains complicated and long-winded discussions between the arisen Jesus and his disciples about the fall and redemption of the divine mother of the seed, "Pistis Sophia", and Jesus' revelations. | | | Schmitt tries to explain the various Gnostic systems, turning clearly towards the occult orientated readers and against the interpretations of the church fathers, who deliberately mutilated their textual examples. |
