about

"The Sophia of Jesus Christ" [Acts of Thomas, 3rd Century A.D., from Wright's Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, 1871] details the nature of Sophia: a feminine counterpart to the archetype of Christ Jesus, representing what would, with the modern construction of Jesus, be termed 'Christ's wisdom'. Whilst different gnostic sources ascribe different qualities or statehoods (in the abstract) to Sophia, a view of commonalities would suggest Sophia is of the lowest aeon, and that her desire to procreate without her archetypal consort, Jesus (of original abstract from) birthed the Demiurge. My own demystified metaphysical interpretation of this returns to the triad 'Godhead' from the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, these sephirot being Keter, Hokhmah and Binah - or, Monad-ness, wisdom and understanding. If Sophia (wisdom) makes form through the nature of Monad-ness - both in reference to herself, procreating as Monad rather than Duad as one would if with consort, and in reference to the creation of a whole 'one' through new life; a singular living being - and does so without the understanding represented by Christ, then physicality is suggested to be the result. In other words: this physical plane exists by virtue of the fact that some force that may create a 'whole new one' was 'applied' (in a very superveniently-abstract way of speaking) to the set of all wisdoms, but without having understanding to comprehend these wisdoms.

lyrics

THE SOPHIA OF JESUS CHRIST:

Jesus:

You wished to know.
You wished to be as one, so

As I was not one with you -
Wisdom not Logos, the flesh still untrue.
As you conceived alone,
You fell further from God's throne.

Jesus:

Oh I wished to fuse with thee;
The feminine aspect, for all eternity.
But then I was not formed...
A world of matter was not yet forged.

Jesus:

Oh you art not mine wife,
But woman reflected through mine life.

A world of matter was not yet forged.
But then I was not formed...
The feminine aspect, for all eternity -
Oh I wished to fuse with thee.

You fell further from God's throne,
As you conceived alone.
Wisdom not Logos, the flesh still untrue,
As I was not one with you .

You wished to be as one, so
You wished to know.

Oh I wished to fuse with thee;
The feminine aspect, for all eternity.
But then I was not formed...
A world of matter was not yet forged.
So you birthed the material plane,
Imperfect and evil, disordered and vain.
The modern soul, in mind of this,
Knows not that you still exist.
