| | SETHIAN GNOSTICISM: |
 | | The metaphysical structure of both Allogenes and Zostrianos, as well as Three Steles of Seth, appears to be centered on the triad Father-Mother-Son as is the case with the Gospel of the Egyptians, Apocryphon of John, and Trimorphic Protennoia. | | | Zostrianos is heavily indebted to the Sethian dramatis personae especially as they occur in Gospel of the Egyptians, and collects these into three rather distinct blocks (Zost. | | | I.29, Apocryphon of John, Gospel of the Egyptians, Allogenes, Zostrianos, Three Steles of Seth, Marsanes and Trimorphic Protennoia), it seems that the material common to the Apocryphon of John and Iren. |

| | The Holy Order of O:N:E: |
| | In contrast to these two revelations in which knowledge concerning the future course of history is communicated from the higher realm to the lower by an angelic intermediary, we also find three apocalypses which relate the singular experience of a gnostic visionary who himself achieves enlightenment through an ecstatic ascent through the divine world. | | | In fact, nearly everything in Zostrianos as it now stands can be derived from the Apocryphon of John, the Gospel of the Egyptians and Allogenes except for the names of certain figures peculiar to itself. | | | However, there may be adequate warrant for placing Allogenes and Zostrianos at a time before Plotinus, since most of their doctrine could be drawn from Numenius, the Chaldaean Oracles and other second century Platonic sources, in addition to similar notions found in the Apocryphon of John. |

| | Intimately related to these three treatises and especially to Zostrianos, whose author was probably the first to introduce the Existence, Vitality and Intellect triad to Sethian theology, is the Sethian Apocryphon of John, ostensibly our first witness to the complete Gnostic myth of Sophia, the fallen divine Wisdom as creator and redeemer of this world. | | | One may begin with Allogenes, which is representative of the metaphysical doctrine of Zostrianos and The Three Steles of Seth ; its doctrine of the Triple Powered One is the crucial feature by which the treatise can be placed at a definite point in the Platonic metaphysical tradition. | | | But what now can be said of the sources of the metaphysical doctrine of Allogenes ? |

| | What does the the Bible say? |
| | One of the Nag Hammadi texts ('Trimorphic Protennoia') was written by someone who was still a worshipper of Inanna, a Member of the Heavenly Host whom the wizards had worshipped. | | | Another text ('Zostrianos') was clearly Zoroastrian in those formative years. | | | And in Italy as former wizards joined the Roman tabernacle, compromises were made with Inanna worship, but it is important to note that Inanna had enjoyed a high status among the Heavenly Host. |
