| | Pleroma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The heavenly pleroma is the center of divine life, a region of light "above" (the term is not to be understood spatially) our world, occupied by spiritual beings such as aeons (eternal beings) and sometimes archons. | | | Pleroma is also used in the general Greek language and is used by the Greek Orthodox church in this general form since the word appears under the book of Colossians. | | | Jesus is interpreted as an intermediary aeon who was sent from the pleroma, with whose aid humanity can recover the lost knowledge of the divine origins of humanity. |

| | But, one aspect of the pleroma is as a place, the place where God resides and from where divine emanations and messages come to earth. | | | The OED defines pleroma as follows: "In Gnostic theology, the spiritual universe as the abode of God and of the totality of the Divine powers and emanations." If that sounds obscure, you are on the right path. | | | One of the most familiar usages of pleroma in this way is in the opening verse of the Gospel of Truth, discovered in Egypt around 1945. |

| | The pleroma speaks to the fact that God was “all in all” in the beginning and He will be “all in all” in the future (end). | | | The focus that God has in scripture is for the ages. | | | Consequently, studying the Pleroma is an exercise in understanding the big picture and the plan of God for the ages. |

| | Pleroma |
| | Hence, it is a realm of pure light and the abode of all the Gods. | | | Pleroma (Greek) Fullness, completion, entirety; used by the Gnostics, as for instance by Valentinus in the Pistis Sophia, to denote the fullness of the manifested universe as a whole; hence, space and its contents. | | | Evolution starts from a primal point and is fulfilled in the pleroma or manifested sum total of a manifested universe, with especial emphasis on its inner and invisible ranges and planes. |

| | "Pleroma" in Teilhard de Chardin |
| | In the first place, since the pleroma is the kingdom of God in its completed form... | | | 125 -- "At every moment the eucharistic Christ controls -- from the point of view of the organization of the Pleroma (which is the only true point of view from which the world can be understood) -- the whole movement of the universe... | | | In consequence, the constitution of the pleroma, from the origins of the world until God, must necessarily make itself apparent to our minds by a progressive advance of spirit." |

| | Let them therefore no longer speak of the Pleroma as being spiritual, or of themselves as "spiritual," if indeed their AEons sit feasting with the Father, just as if they were men, and He Himself is of such a configuration as those reveal Him to be who were produced by Him. | | | If, then, they assert that whatever is outside [the Pleroma] is ignorant of all things, and if the Saviour went forth to impart form to their Mother, then He was situated beyond the pale of the knowledge of all things; that is, He was in ignorance. | | | If, therefore, this AEon was produced by the Pleroma of the same substance as the whole of it, she could never have undergone change, since she was consorting with beings similar to and familiar with herself, a spiritual essence among those that were spiritual. |

| | Gnosticism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | The purpose of the Pleroma was to exist as a living, collective expression of the intellectual magnitude of the Father, and if any single being within the Pleroma were to attain to the Father, all life would cease. | | | When the disruption, brought about by the desire of Sophia, disturbed the Pleroma, this was not understood as a disturbance of an already established unity, but rather as the disturbance of an insupportable stasis that had come to be observed as divine. | | | Rather than simply declaring these two gods to be unrelated, as did Marcion, Ptolemy develops a complex, allegorical reading of the Hebrew Scriptures in relation to the New Testament in order to establish a genealogy connecting the Pleroma, Sophia and her "passion," the Demiurge, and the salvific activity of Jesus Christ. |

| | Pleroma - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema |
| | Pleroma is a Greek word meaning "fullness, completion, whole." It is equivalent to the Sanskrit Purna, meaning "wholeness'" and used in Tantric texts to refer to the ground state of all that exists. | | | In Gnostic metaphysics, the Pleroma is understood as the Godhood or the primal ground of being. | | | In other words, there is both one God and a company of Gods in the Pleroma. |

| | The Logos is incarnated as Jesus, and his mission is to awaken the spark of God among humankind in order to generate a kind of "critical mass" of Divinity. | | | These children, however, do not contain the spark of the Divine, as they do not come from the Pleroma. | | | She then carries a "spark" of Divinity, slips down through the complex hierarchies of the Archons, and conceals a splinter of God into everything and everyone. |

| | It is the manifest opposition of creatura to the pleroma and its nothingness. | | | Thus, just as it serveth not to reflect upon the pleroma, it availeth not to worship the multiplicity of the gods. Least of all availeth it to worship the first god, the effective abundance and the summum bonum. | | | Created beings came to pass, not creatura; since created being is the very quality of the pleroma, as much as non-creation which is the eternal death. In all times and places is creation, in all times and places is death. |

| | The Gnostic Account of the Fall and Creation |
| | Metaphysically what this means is that, for the Gnostics, the Cosmos is not the result of a supreme God, as is taught by monotheism, but rather the creation of the very lowest and most minor of the emanated divinities, and even then an accidental creation at that. | | | As a result of the new harmony established by "Christos and Holy Spirit", a new, unpaired Aeon, Jesus, is created, who is the "perfect fruit of the Pleroma", and expresses in his being the attributes of all the other Aeons. | | | The Father emanates a new Aeon-pair, Christos- Holy Spirit, which re-establishes the equilibrium of the Pleroma, and to take care of the "formless entity" which had resulted from Sophia's passion. |

| | CHURCH FATHERS: Against Heresies, II.24 (St. Irenaeus) |
| | The name Christ, too, ought to be capable of being reckoned up in harmony with the Aeons of their Pleroma, inasmuch as, according to their statements, He was produced for the establishment and rectification of their Pleroma. | | | Moreover, Jesus, which is a word belonging to the proper tongue of the Hebrews, contains, as the learned among them declare, two letters and a half, and signifies that Lord who contains heaven and earth; for Jesus in the ancient Hebrew language means "heaven," while again "earth" is expressed by the words sura usser. | | | From this fact, therefore, that the more important names, both in the Hebrew and Greek languages, do not conform to their system, either as respects the number of letters or the reckoning brought out of them, the forced character of their calculations respecting the rest becomes clearly manifest. |

| | God also is himself the Pleroma, even as every smallest point within the created world, as well as within the uncreated realm, is itself of the Pleroma. | | | The reason for this is that these two stand very close to the Pleroma, in which all opposites are cancelled out and unified. | | | Therefore if we do not discern God, then the effective fullness is cancelled out for us. |

| | The Pleroma |
| | One idea that characterises most Gnostic texts are their complex accounts of the unfolding of the various Divine emanations, the Aeons, the "Eternities" or "Worlds", which become the transcendental Pleroma or realm of Light. | | | The exact representations of the Pleroma differ according to different Gnostic sects, but if we take the Sethian and Valentinian schools there is the division into four grades of divine existence, as follows | | | The Pleroma is distinguished from the lower or manifest creation, so the Gnostic Cosmology is based on the idea of a duality between the transcendent Spiritual Reality (which includes the manifest and unmanifest) Absolute) and the imperfect psychic and physical reality, the "Cosmos". |

| | Gospel of Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to this theory, Paul was drawing on sayings that were widely recognized to come from Jesus, some which are uniquely preserved in Gospel of Thomas. | | | It, however, lacks distinctive terms from second century Gnosticism such as archons, pleroma, aeons, demiurge that would be expected from a product of historical Gnosticism: this is seen by some as another justification for an earlier date of authorship. | | | The late camp, on the other hand, dates Thomas sometime after 100, generally in the early and mid 2nd century, but a few argue that Thomas is dependent on the Diatessaron, which was composed shortly after 172. |
