AEONS, THE TWELVE

These are the same as the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the twelve Adityas, etc. The signs, or constellations, stand for every department of human experience. Æons are portions of great cycles, and each Æon is distinguished by special features corresponding with the "twelve tribes," the "twelve apostles," "twelve loaves of shewbread," etc.

"Twelve Eons,-six being ruled by Adamas, and six by Iabraōth." - Books of the Saviour. See Pistis Sophia.

The Eons here referred to are the twelve divisions of the cycle of life,— six of which are ruled by the lower nature, and six by the Divine nature. The six under Adamas are those containing the souls attached to the things of the lower self,-those in whom the sense of separateness is not killed, and who are of the old dispensation." The six under Iabraōth are the six signs above the “ earth" or lower nature, and which correspond with the triumph and ascent of the Christ in the soul. These are of the "new dispensation."

Jesus soared to the space of the Twelve Eons; and all the Rulers and Orders were amazed." - Pistis Sophia.

“The Christ-soul now completes its spiral ascent through the twelve departments of human experience, whose cyclic progression corresponds with the Twelve signs of the Zodiac, or fields of the Tuat. The amazement among the activities of nature, is simply the process of awakenment of the qualities and potencies (evolution) which takes place in the spiritual ascent.
