SOPHIA ACHAMOTH (HIGHER ASPECT)A symbol of the buddhic principle functioning in the soul and giving birth to the Self. “And this same seed (of the Spirit sown by Wisdom in the natural man, the Gnostics) affirm also to be the Church, corresponding to the Church above. And with this they maintain their inward being to be completed, as though they had their animal soul from the Demiurgus, their body from the dust of the earth, and their fleshly part from its matter, while the Spiritual man comes from their Mother Achamôth. … And this, they say, is the salt and the light of the world.” — Irenaeus, *Against Heresies*, Bk. II. The Church signifies the religious consciousness or purified state of soul, in which can be received the Christ‑germ, for Christ becomes the head of the Church and the completion of humanity. The desire‑nature (animal soul) proceeds from the potential lower nature of the Archetypal Man (Demiurge); the mental vehicle (body) from the lower mind (dust); and the physical vehicle (flesh) from the physical plane. While the Spiritual man, Christ, is born within the soul, brought forth of the buddhic principle (Sophia), the Divine Madonna; and this is the Son of the Highest and the Light of the world. |
