The Reality of the Rulers
Concerning the reality of the authorities, in the spirit of the Father of truth, the great apostle told us concerning the authorities of darkness: "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the authorities of the world and the spirits of wickedness."
I have sent you this because you inquire about the reality of the authorities.
Their chief is blind. Because of his power and his ignorance and his arrogance, he said with his power: "It is I who am God. There is no other apart from me."
When he said this, he sinned against the All. And this speech reached up to Incorruptibility. And behold, a voice came forth from Incorruptibility, saying: "You are wrong, Samael" — that is, "the god of the blind." His thoughts became blind. And having expelled his power — that is, the blasphemy he had spoken — he pursued it down to Chaos and the Abyss, his mother, through Pistis Sophia.
And she established each of his children according to its power, after the pattern of the aeons that are above. For from the hidden things, the visible things were invented.
Incorruptibility looked down into the regions of the waters. Her image appeared in the waters. And the authorities of the darkness fell in love with her. But they could not lay hold of that image which had appeared to them in the waters, because of their weakness — for those who are merely psychic cannot comprehend those who are spiritual — for they were from below, while she was from above.
Because of this, Incorruptibility looked down into the regions of the waters, in order that, by the Father's will, she might unite the All with the light.
The archons took counsel with one another. They said: "Come, let us make a human being out of dust from the earth." They moulded their creature as one wholly of earth. Now the body of the archons is female — a miscarriage with the face of a beast. They took dust from the earth and moulded their human being according to their own body and according to the image of God that had appeared to them in the waters.
They said: "Come, let us lay hold of it in our moulding, so that it may see its counterpart and we may seize it in our moulding" — not understanding the power of God, because of their powerlessness. And he breathed into his face, and the human being became psychic upon the earth for many days.
But they could not raise him up because of their powerlessness. They persisted like the storm winds, trying to capture that image which had appeared to them in the waters. And they did not know its power. But all these things happened by the will of the Father of the All.
After these things, the Spirit saw the psychic human being upon the earth. And the Spirit came forth from the adamantine earth. It descended and came to dwell within him, and that human being became a living soul.
It called his name "Adam," since he was found crawling upon the earth. A voice came forth from Incorruptibility for the assistance of Adam. And the archons gathered together all the animals of the earth and all the birds of heaven and brought them to Adam to see what Adam would call them, that he might give a name to each one of the birds and all the animals.
They took Adam and placed him in paradise to till it and watch over it. And the archons commanded him, saying: "From every tree in paradise you shall eat. But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, do not eat, nor touch it. For on the day you eat from it, you shall surely die."
They said this not understanding what they had said. Rather, by the will of the Father, they said this in such a way that he would in fact eat, and so that Adam would not regard them as would a man of an entirely material nature.
The archons took counsel with one another. They said: "Come, let us cast a deep sleep upon Adam." And he slept. Now the deep sleep is ignorance. They brought it upon him, and he slept. They opened his side like a living woman. And they built up his side with flesh in its place. And Adam became entirely psychic.
And the spiritual woman came to him. She spoke with him, saying: "Rise up, Adam!"
And when he saw her, he said: "It is you who have given me life. You shall be called 'the Mother of the living.' For she is my mother. She is the physician, and the woman, and she who has given birth."
Then the authorities came toward their Adam. And when they saw his counterpart speaking with him, they were greatly disturbed and fell in love with her. They said to one another: "Come, let us cast our seed upon her." They pursued her. And she laughed at them for their foolishness and their blindness. And in their grasp she became a tree, and left before them her shadow, which resembles her. And they defiled it foully, and they defiled the seal of her voice, in order that they might condemn themselves through their moulding and their image.
Then the spiritual one came in the form of the serpent, the instructor. And it taught them, saying: "What did he say to you? 'From every tree in paradise you shall eat, but from the tree of the knowledge of evil and good, do not eat'?"
The fleshly woman said: "Not only did he say 'Do not eat,' but also 'Do not touch it. For on the day you eat from it, you shall surely die.'"
And the serpent, the instructor, said: "You shall not surely die. For he said this to you out of jealousy. Rather, your eyes will open, and you will become like gods, knowing evil and good."
And the instructor was taken from the mouth of the serpent, and she left it behind merely earthly. And the fleshly woman took from the tree and ate. And she gave to her husband with her. And the psychic ones ate. And their evil was revealed in their ignorance. And they knew that they were naked of the spiritual. They took fig leaves and bound them upon their loins.
Then the great archon came. And he said: "Adam, where are you?" — for he did not know what had happened. And Adam said: "I heard your voice and was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid."
The archon said: "Why did you hide — unless you have eaten from that tree, the only one I commanded you not to eat from? And you have eaten!" Adam said: "The woman whom you gave me — she gave to me, and I ate." And the arrogant archon cursed the woman.
The woman said: "It is the serpent that deceived me, and I ate." They turned to the serpent and cursed his shadow — powerless, not knowing that it was their own moulding. From that time, the serpent came under the authority of the archons, until the perfect human should come. That curse fell upon the serpent.
They turned to their Adam and took him and cast him out of paradise, together with his wife. For there is no blessing from them, since they themselves also are under the curse. And they cast the human being into great distraction and toil of life, so that their humankind might be occupied with worldly affairs and might not have the opportunity to be devoted to the holy Spirit.
After these things she bore Cain, their son. And Cain tilled the earth. And again he knew his wife; she conceived and bore Abel. And Abel was a shepherd of sheep. Now Cain brought in from the fruits of his field, but Abel brought in a sacrifice from among his lambs. God looked upon the offerings of Abel, but he did not accept the offerings of Cain. And Cain the carnal one pursued Abel his brother.
And God said to Cain: "Where is Abel your brother?" He answered, saying: "Am I my brother's keeper?" God said to Cain: "Behold, the voice of your brother's blood is crying up to me! You have sinned with your own mouth. It shall return to you. Anyone who kills Cain will unleash seven vengeances. You shall dwell groaning and trembling upon the earth."
And Adam knew his counterpart, Eve. She conceived and bore Seth, to Adam. And she said: "I have borne another human being through God, in place of Abel."
Again Eve conceived and bore Norea. And she said: "He has begotten for me a virgin as a help for many generations of humankind." She is the virgin whom the powers did not defile.
Then humankind began to multiply and improve. The archons took counsel with one another and said: "Come, let us make a flood with our hands and obliterate all flesh, from human beings to animals." But the ruler of the powers, when he learned of their plan, said to Noah: "Make yourself an ark out of wood that does not decay, and hide within it — you and your children and the animals and the birds of heaven, from small to great — and set it upon the mountain of Sir."
Then Norea came to him, wishing to board the ark. And when he would not let her, she blew upon the ark and caused it to be consumed by fire. Again he made the ark, a second time.
The archons came to meet her, intending to deceive her. Their greatest said to her: "Your mother Eve came to us." But Norea turned to them and said: "It is you who are the archons of the darkness! You are cursed. And you did not know my mother. Instead, it was your own counterpart that you knew. For I am not from you. Rather, I came from above."
The arrogant archon turned in his full force and his countenance became like a black fire. He dared toward her and said: "You must serve us, as did your mother Eve — for you have been given to us."
But Norea turned in the power of the Spirit. She cried out with a great voice, up to the Holy One, the God of the All: "Help me against the archons of unrighteousness, and save me from their grasp!"
And immediately the great angel came down from the heavens and said to her: "Why do you cry up to God? Why do you dare toward the holy Spirit?"
Norea said: "Who are you?" The archons of unrighteousness had withdrawn from her.
He said: "I am Eleleth, Understanding, the great angel, the one who stands in the presence of the holy Spirit. I have been sent to speak with you, and to save you from the grasp of the lawless ones. And I will teach you about your root."
Now that angel — I am unable to speak of his power. His appearance is like fine gold, and his garment is like snow. Truly, my mouth is not able to bear to speak of his power and the appearance of his face.
He said to me, the great angel Eleleth, Understanding: "I," he said, "am Understanding. I am one of the four luminaries who stand in the presence of the great invisible Spirit. Do you think that these archons have any power over you? None of them shall prevail against the root of truth. For on its account, he appeared in the last times. And these authorities will be restrained. And these authorities cannot defile you and that generation. For your dwelling-place is in Incorruptibility, where the virginal Spirit dwells — the one who is over the authorities of Chaos and their world."
But I said: "Lord, teach me about the power of these authorities. How did they come into being, and from what matter, and from what power? And who created them and their power?"
And the great angel Eleleth, Understanding, said to me: "Within limitless aeons dwells Incorruptibility. Sophia, who is called Pistis, wanted to create something alone, without her consort. And her product became a celestial thing.
"A veil exists between the things above and the aeons below. And a shadow came into being beneath the veil. And that shadow became matter. And that shadow was cast to one side. And what she had created became a product in matter, like a miscarriage. It took shape from the shadow and became an arrogant beast resembling a lion. It was male-female, as I have already said, because it came from matter.
"Opening its eyes, it saw a vast quantity of matter without limit. And it became arrogant, saying: 'It is I who am God, and there is no other apart from me.' When it said this, it sinned against the All. And a voice came forth from above the authority of absolute power, saying: 'You are wrong, Samael' — that is, 'the god of the blind.'
"And it said: 'If any other thing exists before me, let it appear to me!' And immediately Sophia stretched forth her finger and introduced light into matter. And she pursued it down to the region of Chaos. And she withdrew up to her light. Again, darkness returned to matter.
"This ruler, being male-female, made himself a great aeon, an immense magnitude. And he thought to create children for himself. He created for himself seven children, male-female like their parent.
"And he said to his children: 'It is I who am the god of the All.' And Zoe, the daughter of Pistis Sophia, cried out and said to him: 'You are wrong, Sakla!' — which is interpreted as Yaltabaoth. She breathed into his face, and her breath became for her a fiery angel. And that angel bound Yaldabaoth and cast him down into Tartaros, below the Abyss.
"Now when his son Sabaoth saw the power of that angel, he repented and condemned his father and his mother, Matter. He loathed her. And he sang hymns up to Sophia and her daughter Zoe. And Sophia and Zoe caught him up and appointed him over the seventh heaven, below the veil between above and below. And they called him 'the God of the powers, Sabaoth,' because he is above the powers of Chaos, since Sophia had appointed him.
"Now when these things had come to pass, he made for himself a great chariot of cherubim — four-faced, with numberless angels to serve him, and harps and lyres. And Sophia took her daughter Zoe and seated her at his right hand, to teach him about the things of the Eighth. And the angel of wrath she placed at his left. Since that day, his right has been called Life, and the left has come to be a pattern of the unrighteousness of the authority above.
"It was before these things came to pass that Yaldabaoth, seeing him in that great glory and at that height, envied him. And the envy became a product, being male-female. And this became the origin of envy. And envy begot Death. And Death begot his children and set each one of them over its heaven. And all the heavens of Chaos were filled with their multitudes.
"But all these things came to pass by the will of the Father of the All, after the pattern of all things above, in order that the number of Chaos might be fulfilled.
"Behold, I have taught you about the pattern of the archons, and the matter in which it was generated, and their parent and their world."
But I said: "Lord, am I also from their matter?" "You and your children do not belong to their matter. Rather, you are from the Father who exists from the beginning. It was from above, from the incorruptible light, that their souls came. Therefore the authorities cannot approach them, because of the Spirit of truth dwelling within them. And all who have come to know this way exist immortal in the midst of mortal humankind.
"Still, that seed will not appear now. But after three generations it will appear, and it will cast from them the bond of the error of these authorities."
Then I said: "Lord, for how long?" He said to me: "When the True Human reveals himself in a moulding of the truth which the Father has sent — then he will teach them about everything. And he will anoint them with the chrism of eternal life, given him from the generation without a king.
"Then they will cast from them blind thought. And they will trample on Death of the authorities. And they will ascend into the limitless light, where this seed belongs. Then the authorities will abandon their times. And their angels will weep over their destruction. And their demons will mourn their death.
"Then all the children of the light will truly know the truth and their root, and the Father of the All, and the holy Spirit. They will all say with a single voice: 'Righteous is the truth of the Father! And the Son is over all things.' And through everyone, unto ages of ages. Holy, holy, holy! Amen."
