Book excerpt: For the first time in English: the most important work of Gnostic Wisdom ever written. "It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them..."The Pistis Sophia Unveiled represents the ascensional goal of Gnostic Wisdom. Not only does it contain the written message of Jesus of Nazareth (the great teacher of the previous era of Pisces) but also contains a detailed commentary written by Samael Aun Weor, the great teacher of the new Aquarian era.A quote from the author: "The Hebrew Bible clearly connotes the word of the Eternal One. However, we, the Gnostics, also have our very special Bible. I want to emphatically declare that this is The Pistis Sophia, whose original is in Coptic. It was found underground in Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs. "The Pistis Sophia contains all the words of the adorable Savior of the world. It was written by the Apostles. Thus, all the Esoteric-Christic instructions that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples on the Mount of the Olives and other holy places is written within this book. This book had been conserved in secret for many centuries. In this book, the Adorable One left an extraordinary, formidable body of doctrine."Within these pages, the reader will discover a form of wisdom which completely obliterates the speculations of scholars and intellectuals. Those who merely seek to compare these writings with what they have been told in the past will surely be disappointed. Here, you will find something completely new and without precedence in the theories and dogmas of men. Here, you will find the actual wisdom teachings of the Universal Cosmic Christ; that wisdom which has been expressed throughout all ages and times and which has given birth to every religion of the world. Here you will find the pure and complete knowledge which every soul requires in order to discover its true nature.The Pistis Sophia Unveiled is a message for all humankind, in every corner of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these days of the " higher criticism," with its merciless analysis of original Scripture, much light would doubtless be thrown on the New Testament by an unprejudiced study of Gnosticism. This philosophy, which reached a flourishing maturity in the second century of the Christian era, but became virtually extinct in the sixth, taught that all natures — intellectual, moral, spiritual, and material—are successive emanations from Deity. Its professors claimed to have an esoteric and philosophic knowledge of Christian doctrines, and some modern scholars assert that the Gospels are replete with allusions to the Gnostic teaching. Although it is now fashionable to dismiss the Syrian and Egyptian schools as a fantastic combination of Oriental mysticism, Greek philosophy, and Christian theology, yet it is probable that a profound interest will be awakened among reasoning Christians by " Pistis Sophia."

Book excerpt: "It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them..." (The Pistis Sophia) The Apostles wrote down what Jesus taught them during those eleven years, resulting in "The Pistis Sophia," the most important Gnostic scripture. Includes an extensive commentary by Samael Aun Weor. "The Pistis Sophia" is a sophisticated and deeply mystical teaching given by Jesus about the suffering of Sophia as she attempts to ascend to the highest spiritual truth. This scripture is remarkable for its profound mysticism, its clear rebuke of unethical behavior, and its perspective on the spiritual role of women. Having read this text, it becomes very clear why the established religious powers attempted to obliterate the Gnostics, but failed. Study of this teaching also inspires a re-evaluation of how the Christian Gospels have been interpreted for centuries. About this scripture, the commentary author Samael Aun Weor said, ""The Hebrew Bible clearly connotes the Word of the Eternal One. However, we, the Gnostics, also have our very special Bible. I want to emphatically declare that this is The Pistis Sophia, whose original is in Coptic. It was found underground in Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs.

Book excerpt: A quarter of a century has rolled away; much water has flowed under the bridges of scholarly research whence the general stream of Gnosticism has been surveyed with greater accuracy, and much good work been done on the special subject of the Coptic Gnostic documents. Though the first edition of this book was quickly exhausted and many requests were made for a second, I had hitherto refused to accede to this demand, still hoping that some English Coptic scholar would take the matter in hand. Indeed, at one time I was in high expectation that this would be achieved. Shortly before the War a friend, whom I had interested in the work, completed a version of the fine Untitled Apocalypse of the Bruce Codex, and was next to have attempted a translation of the P.S. But pressing interests and activities of a totally different nature connected with the War and its aftermath have absorbed all my friend's energies, and the version of the P.S. has been definitely abandoned. Nor can I hear of any other project of translation. This being the case, and as the utility of even a translation of a translation is evidenced by the keen demand for the volume in the second-hand market, I have at last decided to repeat my venture. Nevertheless a reprint of the first edition was not to be thought of. Introduction and translation needed revision in the light of twenty-five years' further study of the work of specialists. To this end the most valuable help, not to speak of his long labours on the allied documents, is afforded by Carl Schmidt's admirable German translation of the P.S. (1905). Schwartze's Latin translation was good for its date (1851), and scholars still quote it to-day; Amelineau's French rendering (1895) was somewhat of an improvement; but Schmidt's version is unquestionably the best. I have therefore revised my prior Englishing from the former two by the finer work of the latter. Schmidt is exceedingly careful throughout, and not only have I taken his decision where Schwartze and Amelineau differ, but have generally preferred him for consistency in phrasing. In my humble opinion it will be long before we have a better rendering than that of this ripe Coptic scholar. But not only has the Translation been thoroughly revised; the Introduction has been entirely rewritten and the Annotated Bibliography corrected and brought up to date. The second edition is practically a new book. The Schwartze-Petermann marginal pagination, which is the usual scheme of reference, and which in the first edition was shown in brackets in the text, is now indicated at the side of the page. I have also adopted Schmidt's division into chapters as an additional convenience for more general reference, and have numbered the verses of the Psalms and of the Odes of Solomon for easier comparison with the Repentances and Songs of Sophia. It should, of course, be understood that the detailed paragraphing does not exist in the original, which runs on for the most part monotonously without break.

Book excerpt: The Gnostics were an early Christian mystical sect. They were persecuted and documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. Only now have we begun to better appreciate these early Christian mystics. The purpose of this gospel is to awaken us, and aid in the process of spiritual freedom.
Download or read book Pistis Sophia written by G. R. S. Mead and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pistis Sophia is an important Gnostic text discovered in 1773, possibly written between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The remaining manuscript, which scholars place in the late 4th century, relates the Gnostic teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the assembled disciples (including his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Martha), when the risen Christ had accomplished eleven years speaking with his disciples. In it, the complex structures and hierarchies of heaven familiar in Gnostic teachings are revealed. The text proclaims that Jesus remained on earth after the resurrection for 11 years, and was able in this time to teach his disciples up to the first (i. e. beginner) level of the mystery. It starts with an allegory paralleling the death and resurrection of Jesus, and describing the descent and ascent of the soul. It then proceeds to describe important figures within the Gnostic cosmology, and then finally lists 32 carnal desires to overcome before salvation is possible. The female divinity of Gnosticism is Sophia, a being with many aspects and names. She is sometimes identified with the Holy Spirit itself but, according to her various capacities, is also the Universal Mother, the Mother of the Living or Resplendent Mother, the Power on High, She-of-the-left-hand (as opposed to Christ, understood as her husband and he of the Right Hand), as the Luxurious One, the Womb, the Virgin, the Wife of the Male, the Revealer of Perfect Mysteries, the Holy Dove of the Spirit, the Heavenly Mother, the Wandering One, or Elena (that is, Selene, the Moon). She was envisaged as the Psyche of the world and the female aspect of Logos.

Her fall and redemption parallel that found in versions of the Sophia myth such as that in the Apocryphon of John, but the actions all take place in the material aeons, and she can only be restored to her place in the thirteenth aeon, outside the Kingdom of Light.

Book excerpt: Every discovery of a scripture from late antiquity is a new opportunity to find out more about what moved man inwardly during that time. The Codex Askewianus, often called the Gospel of the Pistis Sophia, is such a scripture. At first glance, it is a report of a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples. However, nothing is what it seems in the Gospel of the Pistis Sophia. Modern research shows that the writing comes from a community from late antiquity, along with a second writing: the Bruce Codex. They are apparently the testimonies of a mystery school, which are recorded in a very specific form. What distinguishes them from many other mystery schools is their own characteristic spiritual power: Jeu. In the books of Jeu, which are part of the Bruce Codex, this spiritual power creates an important basis for the work of the saviour: the Treasury of the Light. There, light is collected for the Mystery School, for the illumination of its members. Light that awakens the spiritual potential in man.The Gospel of the Pistis Sophia consists of four books, which together form a whole. In the first book the saviour and his disciples are on the Mount of Olives. This is a mythical representation of what takes place during the meetings of the Jeuians: an interaction between a redeeming spiritual power and the growing awareness of the members of the community. They are the candidates on the path of initiation who have opened their consciousness to the saviour. When he has initiated the dialogue, a threefold light comes to him. It surrounds him and shines from him. At that moment he receives the garment of light from the Treasury of Light. This contains all the mysteries, which the saviour explains to the disciples. As a result, they come to a deeper consciousness and, as candidates of the mystery school, are initiated step by step into the mysteries, which are hidden in the garment of light. To reveal these mysteries is the spiritual activity of the mystery school. After this the saviour starts telling the story of the Pistis Sophia. How he finds her under the Treasury of Light, because she has been robbed of her light by the light-robbers of the world below that treasury. The Pistis Sophia begs for the light, but loses it over and over again. In this way she learns to know repentance as an expression of the desire for the light of lights. The saviour intervenes by disrupting the influence of the light robbers in favour of the Pistis Sophia. Everything is accurately described in a dialogue between the saviour and the disciples. Within the dialogue, Mary Magdalene is the sincere soul who understands and explains the repentance of the Pistis Sophia. Through her statements, the other disciples also gain access to consciousness so that they too can help explain the mysteries.The true meaning of life is therefore, that ultimately every person receives the mysteries during life on earth. That's what the writing is about. After all, the soul can receive light garments that contain all the mysteries, because the saviour comes with powers that man cannot perceive. They are hidden from humans, as if behind a veil. If the veil is taken away or lifted up a little, the spiritual power can become active in human life again. He then receives the mystery, in the language of the Gospel of the Pistis Sophia. The man of light, born again from a single spark of light, then reveals himself again to make all the mysteries of the creator concrete in life itself.In late antiquity, in Egypt, the Jeuians write their inscrutable texts. In the 21st century there is again interest in the story of the Pistis Sophia among people who want to go the path of initiation. It is a late invitation to go aboard the heavenly ship of the Jeuians. The modern Egyptian mysteries of Osiris, Isis and Horus then become alive again for modern humans, because nothing is hidden that cannot be revealed to those who really want to comprehend.

Book excerpt: "I came forth from the mouth of the Most High and covered the earth like a mist. I encamped in the heights, and my throne was in a pillar of cloud. Alone I compassed the vault of heaven and traversed the depths of the abyss. Over waves of the sea, over all the earth, and over every people and nation I have held sway.... Before the ages, in the beginning, he created me, and for all ages I shall not cease to be." (Eccl. 24:3-6, 9) Sophia (the world soul) fell from her place in the heavens to the chaos below. Sophia is among the most haunting and mysterious figures in Western spirituality. She is also one of the great symbols of the divine feminine in world civilization. The personification of divine Wisdom, Sophia is praised in the biblical book of Proverbs as co-creator of the universe with God. In the secret teachings of early Christianity known as Gnosticism, she represents our shared consciousness, trapped in the material world as a result of the Fall. One of the most sublime Gnostic texts is the Pistis Sophia or "Faith Wisdom," a great allegory in which the resurrected Christ explains how he freed the divine Sophia from her imprisonment by the forces of spiritual wickedness. Christ goes on to show his disciples how they will share in this cosmic act of redemption. In this profound yet accessible work, Egyptologist Violet MacDermot gives us a fresh translation of the Pistis Sophia from the Coptic and discusses it in its historical setting. She also shows us how Sophia's story of is our story. It is a tale of our separation and isolation as a result of ego-consciousness, but it is one in which we, too, can share spiritual liberation. Her engaging discussion relates this work not only to ancient teachings but to the thought of C.G. Jung, Emanuel Swedenborg, and the Kabalah.
