12/16/10

" When Sophia saw what her desire had produced, it changed into the figure of a snake with the face of a lion. Its eyes were like flashing bolts of lightning. She cast it away from her, outside that realm so that none of the immortals would see it. She had produced it ignorantly.
She surrounded it with a bright cloud and put a throne in the middle of the cloud so that no one could see it except the Holy Spirit, who is called, 'Mother of the Living'. Sophia named her offspring Yaldabaoth.
Yaldabaoth is the first ruler, who took great power from his mother. Then he left her and moved away from the place where he was born. He took control and created for himself other realms of luminous fire, which still exists. He mated with the mindlessness in him and produced authorities for himself.
Yaldabaoth stationed seven kings, one for each sphere of heaven, to reign over the seven heavens, and five to reign over the depth of the abyss. He shared his fire with them, but he did not give away any of the power of the light that he had taken from his mother. For he is ignorant darkness.
When light mixed with darkness, it made the darkness shine. When darkness mixed with light, it dimmed the late and became neither light nor darkness, but rather gloom.
This gloomy ruler has three names: the first name is Yaldabaoth, the second is Sakla, the third is Samael.
He is wicked in his mindlessness that is in him. He said, 'I am God and there is no other god but me.', since he did not know where his own strength had come from."
