In Gnostic thought, is Sophia Mother Earth?

I wrote this a couple days ago:





Re: Sophia..
A love story written in the stars, my prince my amor rescued by your love, sent from above, heavenly dove, reigning down bliss, healing my wings, our song I wanna sing, I got your back don't worry about a thing,
God led me to you, pied piper, starting to decipher, rising high above the vipers, Got them on target like a sniper, been waiting eternity, for you and me, heaven sent like Romeo and Juliet
Crown for a king golden pharaoh, you shot me with your arrow, I was camouflage like the sparrow, Nobel night indeed, Got me following your lead, for you my heart bleeds, its you my heart needs, we'll succeed, no doubts just knowing, no stopping this now the energy is growing, baby we're glowing
Sexy and smart, loving your power, my soul you devoured, lotus flower, held the key to my tower, feeling empowered, a combination that will never turn sour, got me thinking about you hour after hour
I wanna kiss you, never miss you, find home in your arms, Promise to never bring you harm, tell the haters to disarm, Alchemist dream, it seems, what a powerful team, met though my dreams, your gleam pristine, chapel Sistine, hit me with your laser beam,
Take flight we unite be my vizion I'll be your light, added insight full of might no fear of the night, we found each other despite the plannet, it was like we planned it, I want you so bad I can't stand it, take my hand side by side, in you I can confide, inside heaven awaits, a page right out of fate,
I want you to stay, day by day, the old world falling away, a bridge to eachother, I uncovered, my soul is yours forever my lover

This is an interesting way to look at it that you don't hear very often.

We always hear about their longing for each other, which is understandable. Anyone who has been through the ringer (which they of course would have if they were "them") would crave the companionship of someone who understood what that difficulty felt like.

But I like your whole take on them finding their independence. That they would have to grow past that stage of longing, and find peace and satisfaction in their own journey as they interacted with matter.

So either they consciously decided to take on shit for awhile, so they knew what it was like to overcome (on their own) and grow strong and independent... or they did not decide it themselves, but God/Source/The Universe decided to put them through that journey.

Either way, they won't get near their counterpart until they learn to be happy without them.

Very interesting perspective indeed....

Have any of you tried to know Gaia?

may I inquire as to what gnostic or esoteric book this information is derived?

seems few speak here as if knowledgeable of some "facts"

where can I look further into this

ty

like all other religions, you can't have facts only belief :)

ehh came out slightly wrong, saying there is no facts at all is a bit harsh.

there will always be some facts connected to the myths and stories told in the various religions, but there is ALOT of belief involved.

rambling

Nobody?

Alright... Try the Nag Hammadi Codices or the Corpus Hermeticum / Asclepius. You'll find plenty of inspiration for continued study in the sources mentioned in those. Can get you ISBN if you wish.

Thank you!

Because we never lost our Agape Love Armor.

Nice!

Thank you, LilMiss

I really like your posts, Nemo! Would give you karma if I could.

So there's a few schools of thought:

-Sophia came down directly from the Pleroma and the Earth is the expression of her Emotions, but she isn't Gaia??

OR

-Sophia created the demiurge and THEN Earth was created. And Earth is a dual creation of the Demiurge and Sofia? Or the Demiurge has nothing to do with it?

I'm guessing its all open to interpreation and I should stop looking for absolutes...

Father resides outside of matter ii the void at the center of everything.

Gaia is the representation of our earth/matter....our container/body.

Father 'thought' and that which he 'thought' became Mother 'frequency of matter' (parabolic earth).

Father outside of matter is TRUTH ...and manifest/spoken in matter/frequency as Mother/Sophia (including all her other names).... fallin as matter in her lowest form....becoming simpleknowledge.

WE/Us gain knowledge (our Mother's lowest form in matter) by our 5 senses in our tree of good And evil ...as we eat but are not consumed.

On our journey we gain and add to knowledge....understanding and latter in our growth we gain wisdom.

These 3 are the 3 spun CORD with which we are united in TRUTH.

Knowledge, understanding and wisdom activate TRUTH.

Jesus/Christ is the head of the bride (his) meaning HE is the head of the Woman.....representing Mother and Father as He is ONE as we also are to become ONE. He is the way, truth and life.

We become ONE as our Head/logic crosses the abyss falling into the HEART/intuitive Love.

We during this become 'beheaded' OR die on our skull as did Jesus on Golgotha...The Skull.

The giant in the room is our HEAD (giant which David beheaded)... logic has taken US as far as it can up to this NOW. Now we fall for our WIFE our heart...she will retrain the head.

"You create a God to your own Image, however dismal the image. Through the film of your mind you project a world and also a God to give it cause and purpose. It is all imagination -- step out of it." -- Nisargadatta

The Philosopher's Stone

That's a very nice explanation, yesterday's dust. Thanks for sharing that! :)

And LilMiss, thank you. I'll consider registering. I don't truly believe this current anonymity anyway. x)

The stone upon which Jacob laid his head..... the dreamer's stone..... that old Cave in which Lazarus was placed dead.... that old Dome of the Rock.... the skull... the Temple/forhead.... the 4th head water from Eden....

NOW the 4th head...the Eupharatic era releases the 4 angels....messengers/messages.

3 become ONE

Paradise returns..... PRDS (Hebrew)....

P = pshat simple/literal ... knowledge
R = remez hint/implied ..... understanding
D = drash allegorical/parable ... wisdom
S = sod hidden/secret (place) .... TRUTH

Together these 3 in 1 = Paradise.

Yes.

Hopefully those who can see the mirror like what it is they see...don't blame the messanger you kno..

She is Wisdom

Pistis is Faith

Sophia is Wisdom

Sophia is wisdom in some gnostic schools.

The truth is that it doesn't matter what you do the result will be the same (the wheel of samsara) in some gnostic beliefs.

True wisdom only comes from experience. ie experience doing good and experience life as a sinner.

Its on you to realize this that there is a plan no matter what, there will be tenebrous ones no matter what.

Its on you to either say " well if it doesn't matter if I do good or evil then I'm going to do good !" the choice is ours.

Be Good:)

it is obvious that 90% of those posting here has never read the gnostic writings.

gnostic scrolls are very much like the Kabbala. The writings are very cryptic and difficult to understand. Gnostics were the deepest of thinkers .

Their greatest pursuit was 'resurrection in this life'. They say that the resurrection can only occur while the soul is united with a physical body.

It takes an incredible amount of spiritual maturity to absorb gnostic teachings.

Gnostics were not involved in any way with Gaia, earth power, or female power. This world is fiction to them ...because it is!

Sophia is a God. There are many 'Gods'. She is now serving as a bridge to man because she the unique understanding of BOTH the mind of man and the mind of God. She is the medium by which man can find God again. She created the 'fall' and is now correcting it. more or less.

Without her, man would be lost forever to the dual mind of Lucifer.

Get a copy of the Nag Hammadi if you are interested. Trying to wade through these senseless posts is a waste of time.

Gnostism was the outgrowth of 'Gnosis' which was the more ancient teaching. Gnosis is simply 'GOD CAN BE KNOWN'.

There is not a church today that teaches that God can be truly known and understood in this life. They talk about it as if it is possible, but they do not teach the manner of how to find him. None of them do.

Ancient eastern teachings do teach the way and Gnosticism was the western teaching of the same.

Now, all religions teach regurgitations of dogma for the most part which simply delays a man's understanding of how to dissolve the bands of duality and return to the original state which is GOD or 'what is'.

good luck.

Sophia could be any woman you meet. So it's best to just treat every female as if she is Sophia
