COUNTERFEIT OF THE SPIRIT

A symbol of the Anti-Christ-he who cometh as from God, but who doeth not the works of God.

"And it is the Hebrews alone, and the Sacred Books of Hermes, which tell us these things about the man of Light and his guide the Son of God, and about the earthly Adam and his guide, the Counterfeit, who doth blasphemously call himself Son of God, for leading men astray." - Fragments of Zosimus, 27.

The “Man of Light " is the individuality in harmony with the Higher Self. The earthly Adam" is the lower personality that first becomes subject to the desire-nature which claims falsely to be its true ruler, and to take the place of the spiritual nature in the human soul.
