Sophia by John V Panella
What I am about to reveal came to me through a very unorthodox way, I have had some readers ask me as of late, who is Sophia. Sophia was spoken of in the Gnostic Nag Hamaddi as one of the creators. In fact, she created Llaldabaoth illegally not asking the spirit permission. But this was too simplified, and it didn’t explain anything.
If what I am thinking is true, it may answer a volume of questions. It makes me wonder why I never saw this before. I could never understand who this female entity was. The Gnostics believed it was Eve. I was never sure about that, but I went along with it based on not knowing who Sophia really was. However, even if she became Eve, where did she really come from.
What was Sophia, why was she created and by whom? In the Gnostic Text of John, he speaks of her as being part of the 4th level of Aeons. Behind, The Father/Mother and Christ, and then next is Adam and then Seth. It seems she falls behind Seth in the perfect creation, but I don’t think she belongs there, she must have fallen.
However, we do not really know if she was at that level or she fell to that level because she was called the light. She was an Aeon of the pleroma and the Light or the afterthought called, the Epinoia. It also says she had a consort.
Now this is where it gets interesting. It speaks of a consort but does not delve into who her consort was. However, she must have come from the Monad in the pleroma. The monad was the original creators, Father/Mother and Christ. The Pleroma is the totality of the original divine entities.
She had the ability to create by her thoughts, she was called the light. SO where did she come from, and who was her consort?
Remember, the Father and Mother are the androgynous being like we all are. Each one has a counter half, which had originally been created by the Father’s thoughts. The one entity created within itself the totality of unity within. Each having the characteristics of both male and female.
It did not mean they were male and female, it meant they had the characteristics derived from this union. Each one had unique characteristics and as they came together they complimented one another as they joined in perfect unity. Thus, the Father and Mother although two were actually one. Therefore, we get the Monad and to the Pleroma.
So, we have the Father and Mother, But what about the son. Wouldn’t the son also be complete?
Each of us has a consort. So, Sophia, the feminine half also had a consort the male half. But when she comes on the scene in Gnostic teachings, it never discloses who she was, or who her consort was. But she seems to have been of the original pleroma of the Aeons.
Notice: "And the Sophia of the Epinoia, being an aeon, [It doesn’t say what level of the Aoens] conceived a thought from herself and the conception of the invisible Spirit and foreknowledge.
She wanted to bring forth a likeness out of herself without the consent of the Spirit, - he had not approved - and without her consort, and without his consideration.
And though the person of her maleness had not approved, and she had not found her agreement, and she had thought without the consent of the Spirit and the knowledge of her agreement, (yet) she brought forth.
And because of the invincible power which is in her, her thought did not remain idle, and something came out of her which was imperfect and different from her appearance, because she had created it without her consort. And it was dissimilar to the likeness of its mother, for it has another form.
Notice the person of her maleness, revealing she belonged to a twin spirit of someone else. She was the female half of the spirit and her consort was male. Yet it speaks of her maleness, which proved the two were united, as one. It was then without permission she created out of her something very vile.
Yet again I ask, who was she?
Who was Sophia connected to, and why is her male spirit connection not mentioned? This is an incredible discovery. If what I am being revealed is correct you are all going to be blown away.
So, let us go back to see what we do know, Sophia was of the Epinoia and she is called the Light. But notice the Nag Hamaddi: For from the light, which is the Christ…
We must ask ourselves now, how did Sophia create from her thoughts. Only Christ could create. From the very beginning there was only the Father, and out of the Father’s thoughts he created the Mother so the two would become one. Then from the Mother she created the Son, or Christ from the spark of the pure light of the Father.
But who was Christ’s consort…
It then shows how the Adam was created, but notice, there is no Eve in the aforethought at the beginning of Creation. And then Seth was Created. And it speaks of that through his seed many more came about.
The spiritual Adam was the beginning of the perfect humanity, meaning this is the true children of the Father and Mother via Christ that were created before the world was. Then a parallel Adam was created to host the human race. But again, where is Eve.
Remember the creations of Soul filled humans are simply spirits projecting their essence into bodies to be part of the simulation. However, ever since Adam fell into this realm, the waters of forgetfulness were placed on us as a trance, to cause us to forget who we were. However, the fallen angel and other spirits remember who they are.
So, the Adam came to earth via the spirit of his essence. And the dark lord wanted to take the light out of Adam when he saw this light, yet he was unable to. WHY? According to the story, Eve was never taken from Adam’s rib, but Eve was created just like Adam has been.
Christ was born of the Father and Mother, Adam was born of Christ and his Consort. Seth was born of Adam and his consort. So, who was Christ’s consort and who was Adam’s consort. We all must have one to become truly ONE. From the very beginning after the Father had created the twin souls, everyone was created with a dual aspect of themselves. We are all both male and female in characteristics when we were whole in spirit.
My friends this is truly mind-blowing.
Let’s continue, why does Christ need to marry the church, to become his Bride. What happened to his consort?
And what truly is the Church? Is it not the very true Children of the Father and Mother Via Christ? The perfect Humanity which came after the Adam through Seth?
Next, who raped EVE? And wasn’t there a seed of humanity that came out of this union?
As I said in my books, Seth was the first born of the true Adam, Cain was the firstborn of Satan.
So, who really is Satan?
Is he not the other half of Lucifer?
Haven’t I revealed that Lucifer and Satan are the twin spirits that somehow separated after their fall?
Isn’t this where the good and evil or God and Devil program came from?
So, who really was Sophia?
"And the Sophia of the Epinoia, being an aeon, conceived a thought from herself and the conception of the invisible Spirit and foreknowledge. She wanted to bring forth a likeness out of herself without the consent of the Spirit, - he had not approved - and without her consort, and without his consideration.
We must ask, why did Sophia not tell her other half, her maleness half of what she was doing. Why did she break universal law? What was her intent? Who was her maleness half?
Before I move forward, lets follow some of the other terms being used. In the beginning was the pure light, the Father/Mother and the Christ, and creation was conceived through thought, by foreknowledge. Meaning nothing was created without having the perfect knowledge of what would occur. This is what you call perfect knowing and understanding.
"And our sister Sophia (is) she who came down in innocence in order to rectify her deficiency. Therefore, she was called Life, which is the mother of the living, by the foreknowledge of the sovereignty of heaven. And through her they have tasted the perfect Knowledge. I appeared in the form of an eagle on the tree of knowledge, which is the Epinoia from the foreknowledge of the pure light…”
Let’s understand the above text. Sophia had done something very wrong. She created out of her thoughts something vile. But if her thoughts created it, why was it vile? Because she created by Epinoia, not Foreknowledge.
Now it says she became the mother of the living, by the foreknowledge of the sovereignty of Heaven. Try to follow this closely, when it speaks of foreknowledge then it is revealing a true creation conceived in thought based on knowing and understanding, it is not a mistake. So, she had been created by the Light of the Foreknowledge. She was not created by accident.
Now the Epinoia is not Foreknowledge, but what is called after thought, meaning it is conceived in another way. Instead of knowing, it is conceived almost as if one is not sure, but they want to see what will occur. This is using your powers improperly.
Therefore, Sophia herself was created in the light of foreknowledge, but when she used her power she created in after thought or the epinoia. Notice: “But what they call the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is the Epinoia of the light…”
So, the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil was created by the Epinoia of the light. Now let’s break this down. The Light comes from the Father and Mother,
when Christ was created he became the light from the pure light. He was the light. And out of the light comes creation as foreknowledge. But here we notice above, that the tree of good and evil was created by the Epinoia of the Light. What this means was, it was created by Christ, but as an afterthought not foreknowledge.
We have a problem, here, don’t we? Why would Christ create anything as an afterthought and not foreknowledge? There are two ways you can look at this I and believe both would be correct. The original creation was designed fully from the blue print of the Father’s mind which then entered the Mother and the Son.
However, something was then created not from the original blueprint, but something was created amiss. And from that time forward, the light allowed all the mistake to continue. Even though it was not part of the plan because it occurred there had to be a new plan. The new plan comes form the Epinoia of the light not the original light of foreknowledge.
Therefore, we much conclude Christ then created as an afterthought, but this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Why would Christ do this? Let’s back up. Who have we learned created amiss? Who was it that created something from their thoughts that was not part or parcel to the plan.
Easy enough, it was Sophia. Sophia was created by the foreknowledge of the Light. But she created as an afterthought of the same light. What we have here is the pure light and now a false light.
As we walk this road, we must ask the crucial question, If Sophia was created in the light, then she was part of the Monad. We also know she has a part of her that is male, or her maleness. We know she has a consort. Let’s add it up together.
Sophia was created out of the pure light of foreknowledge to become the bride and or wife companion as the other half of… CHRIST!
Understanding the message correctly, her maleness half had to be Christ.
This was who Christ was married to…TWIN SOULS!
But what happened? We only know based on Gnostic literature that she shows up later after falling way down even below Seth, she then created a monster out of her own thoughts.
"The Monad is a monarchy with nothing above it. It is he who exists as Father of everything, the invisible One who is above everything, who exists as incorruption, which is in the pure light into which no eye can look.
"He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. He did not lack anything, that he might be completed by it; rather he is always completely perfect in light. He is illimitable.
After the Father then came the creation from his thoughts: Foreknowledge…
"And his thought performed a deed and she came forth, namely she who had appeared before him in the shine of his light. This is the first power which was before all of them (and) which came forth from his mind, She is the forethought of the All - her light shines like his light - the perfect power which is the image of the invisible, virginal Spirit who is perfect. The first power, the glory of Barbelo, the perfect glory in the Aeons, the glory of the revelation, she glorified the virginal Spirit and it was she who praised him, because thanks to him she had come forth.
Barbelo was known as the perfect Mother the other half of the Father, and then she conceived and had a son by the spark of the Father.
"And he looked at Barbelo with the pure light which surrounds the invisible Spirit, and (with) his spark, and she conceived from him. He begot a spark of light with a light resembling blessedness. But it does not equal his greatness. This was an only-begotten child of the Mother-Father which had come forth; it is the only offspring, the only-begotten one of the Father, the pure Light.
The son was of the light, the SON was the Light. Remember he was the only begotten of the Father and Mother, but he was also the first begotten, meaning all the children afterwards came via Christ but are still the children of the Father and Mother.
“And the invisible, virginal Spirit rejoiced over the light which came forth, that which was brought forth first by the first power of his forethought, which is Barbelo. And he anointed it with his goodness until it became perfect, not lacking in any goodness, because he had anointed it with the goodness of the invisible Spirit.
Therefore, her new creation was born of light and was light. Therefore, Christ is the light. But who is Sophia?
"For from the light, which is the Christ, and the indestructibility, through the gift of the Spirit the four lights (appeared) from the divine Autogenes. He expected that they might attend him. And the three (are) will, thought, and life.
And the four powers (are) understanding, grace, perception, and prudence. And grace belongs to the light-aeon Armozel, which is the first angel.
And there are three other aeons with this aeon: grace, truth, and form. And the second light (is) Oriel, who has been placed over the second aeon. And there are three other aeons with him: conception, perception, and memory. And the third light is Daveithai, who has been placed over the third aeon. And there are three other aeons with him: understanding, love, and idea.
And the fourth aeon was placed over the fourth light Eleleth. And there are three other aeons with him: perfection, peace, and wisdom. These are the four lights which attend the divine Autogenes, (and) these are the twelve aeons which attend the son of the mighty one, the Autogenes, the Christ, through the will and the gift of the invisible Spirit. And the twelve aeons belong to the son of the Autogenes. And all things were established by the will of the holy Spirit through the Autogenes.
After reading this, where is Sophia?
Get ready to gasp: As the Perfect Man Adam is created.
"And from the foreknowledge of the perfect mind, through the revelation of the will of the invisible Spirit and the will of the Autogenes, <the> perfect Man (appeared), the first revelation, and the truth. It is he whom the virginal Spirit called Pigera-Adamas, and he placed him over the first aeon with the mighty one, the Autogenes, the Christ, by the first light Armozel; and with him are his powers.
Are you slowly putting it together? Adam was created by the Light of Christ’s foreknowledge. But this creation did not come by one, but by two. Autogenes
simply means, self-generated. And when you understand this parallel it is true. Christ is not one but two, just like Father and Mother. His consort must have been the first light since he was the true light. …by the first light Armozel; and with him are his powers.
His consort must have been Sophia who was first called Armozel.
Who was Armozel?
Armozel was evidently the twin flame light of Christ. However, nothing is spoken of about Armozel, but it appears this light also became the first Angel. But why? Why isn’t this Light being framed or known as Christ as the secondary half, why is it seemingly changed into an angel.
Well if we put it all together, this light, who happens to have been Sophia which means WISDOM, somehow fell. She left her first estate as the bride of Christ and became the first angel.
She created an error without permission of the aforethought and created in the afterthought. And obviously she was sent away and brought down to the fourth level way below the Pleroma of the Monad. And that is why we begin to learn about her after she had already fallen. And then we discover how she fell.
Who was the first angel from the Aeons ever created?
Was it not Lucifer?
And the Sophia of the Epinoia, being an aeon, conceived a thought from herself.
Sophia like Christ could create from her own thoughts, she was with the Pleroma of the Aeon of Christ. However, the story will not discuss what happened to her. She simply was relegated as a light that began to mix with darkness.
"And when the light had mixed with the darkness, it caused the darkness to shine. And when the darkness had mixed with the light, it darkened the light and it became neither light nor dark, but it became dim.” The Mixture of good and evil, which is confusion which is Antichrist.
This is when the sacrifice of light or the Christ was made manifest before the worlds ever existed.
Sophia evidently played the whore on Christ as his internal other half, his bride, his wife. She allowed her beauty, wisdom and pride get to her where she thought she could do what she wanted without her maleness half.
And she left him. She then created by her own thoughts. But what was she creating from her thoughts?
She was creating her own new male half, something or someone that would then be subject unto her, where she could make the decisions, and rule? She thought, why do I need this other half who seems to be in control; if I am equal.
She forgot both sides are crucial to the team, both having their distinct duties to perform. She thought, I am just as great and filled with the light of glory, and she was given the full sum of wisdom, thus her name was Sophia/WISDOM.
Her pride and beauty brought her down.
She was attempting to create a secondary half since she broke away from her Consort. She then created…
"And when she saw (the consequences of) her desire, it changed into a form of a lion-faced serpent. And its eyes were like lightning fires which flash. She cast it away from her, outside that place, that no one of the immortal ones might see it, for she had created it in ignorance. And she surrounded it with a luminous cloud, and she placed a throne in the middle of the cloud that no one might see it except the holy Spirit who is called the mother of the living. And she called his name Yaltabaoth.
Sophia created Laldabaoth out of her thoughts as her second half. Her polar half. She created Yaltebaoth, which is SATAN. She created the first Archon.
“This is the first archon who took a great power from his mother. And he removed himself from her and moved away from the places in which he was born. He became strong and created for himself other aeons with a flame of luminous fire which (still) exists now. And he joined with his arrogance which is in him and begot authorities for himself.”
Sophia/Lucifer, created the first archon which then took some of that same power of the epinoia and created his own angels.
Lucifer created Satan out of her own thoughts as her primary husband because she left her first Consort and doing so creating darkness within her. But he was wicked and evil, where she was born in the light. Now light and darkness came together to create dimness.
That is why we are warned to control our thoughts.
The light was Sacrificed. She was upset by what she had done so she attempted to settle the issue by placing her spirit into the first woman EVE.
The original light of Christ was now left alone. The plan had to now change. And without a bride as his primary second half. He chose to become a sacrifice unto this gloominess and darkness by sending his spirit into the first human Adam. And from then on out would meet his NEW bride again when they qualified beyond the parameters of darkness unto light.
The projected spirit of Christ and Lucifer became Adam and Eve.
The first god, Laladaboath saw the light within Adam and wanted to draw it out for himself. But there was now a secondary light due to the divorce, called Eve, or a split in the light. So Eve had to be created for Sophia the Secondary light could then become Eve. And wouldn’t you know, the most critical aspect to this is, payback is a …”
Lucifer/Eve/Sophia was then raped by her other half under the guise of the Serpent, through the entity who had the spirit of the dark serpent, Satan.
Satan’s and Lucifer/Sophia’s children were then born into the human race where the fallen spirits which Satan created could have homes. And then through Seth the first born of Adam, the perfect humanity due to the plan changing could send their projected spirits via the soul into the rest of humanity, thereby having the two seeds.
This is how the separation of Light and Darkness occurred it was because light married its own darkness due to separating from its true consort.
That is why Sophia was called an Aeon, as well as the first Angel Armozel. She was Armozel the light. She then blended with darkness. Later she became known as Lucifer the light bringer. Satan was then cast to the earth world of mortals while Lucifer remained in the heavens. But both have been cast out of the Divine Monad.
The thought in Sophia when she was Christ’s other half which caused her to break away and fall, began to metastasize and grow inside of her and when she finally brought out of her what was growing inside of her, like a child, it became a demonic mindless entity. The light turned to darkness by her thoughts alone.
Christ the male half was abandoned, and he was left alone, that is when the plan changed for all the true children who were created inside the perfect humanity. Each one now must choose before they can move forward. And thus, be allowed to witness the fall of Sophia so they could then be brought back unto life by suffering via Darkness and Light, Good and Evil, i.e. God and Devil.
On Earth Lucifer made Israel her Bride, acting as the male half now, but Christ came to make the true children as the church, or those specially called back to the Father his bride. It all begins to make sense.
Lucifer had become the first feminist where she dominated over males to such an extent she considers herself a male now, and what does she do? She set up a plan to marry the nation of Israel, Israel became HIS new wife. Can you imagine, one that was married to the monad of light loses it all to marry a physical nation?
However, her suitor or ex-husband must now come here to find a new wife, and he seeks for the church, which are all the true children; he comes as the bridegroom to his new Bride. It is all starting to add up.
Lucifer's wife represents human domination, control and bondage, Christ new wife is unity and one mind, one body, etc... representing freedom, peace and love, bring the, all back to the pleroma, of the light.
Christ comes, to what is called, Spiritual Israel, his bride will be a spiritual bride of the LIGHT, whereas Lucifer's bride will be nothing more than the carnal nations of this world. What a loss...
That is why the Father and Mother's will is so important, that if we stray we are taken out of the light, and then we enter darkness. Fortunately, we are at a place where we can have many chances to overcome. Whereas Lucifer, from one inborn thought grew into darkness beyond scope.
Christ even told us, in the old law if one breaks the law they are punished, but under the spiritual law if one even thinks the thought… he was showing us how important it is to control our thoughts, because he knows from the creation realm what it can do when we stray. He lost his own, other half.
Men and women all are incomplete in this world, even now, Christ is incomplete until the Wedding, so he must sit at the right side of the Father until he is granted back his kingdom. I never thought of Christ being incomplete before, but it now makes perfect sense.
And do you realize what this means, it verifies we are all becoming Christ, this was and has always been the deal. We are to become LIKE CHRIST, and being married to him, we will be Christ.
The very children are being granted to return into the very realm of the hierarchical monad.
That is why Lucifer has always been given identifications that are so similar to Christ, The Light Bringer, the Sun of the Father, shining Star of the Dawn. She lost all of that when she conceived in her heart darkness.
To be continued….
