Pistis Sophia: Book OneTranslated by Carl Schmidt and Violet MacDermott

CHAPTER 1

But it happened that after Jesus had risen from the dead he spent eleven years speaking with his disciples . And he taught them only as far as the places of the first ordinance and as far as the places of the First Mystery, which is within the veil which is within the first ordinance, which is the 24th mystery outside and below , these which are in the second space of the First Mystery, which is before all mysteries the Father in the form of a dove . And Jesus said to his disciples : "I have come forth from that First Mystery which is the last mystery, namely the 24th"..

And the disciples did not know and understand that there was anything within that mystery. But they thought that that mystery was the head of the All , and the head of all the things that exist . And they thought that it was the completion of all completions, because Jesus had said to them concerning the mystery, that it surrounded the first ordinance and the five incisions and the great light and the five helpers (parastatai) and the whole Treasury of Light. And moreover Jesus had not spoken to his disciples of the whole extent of the places of the great invisible one and the three triple powers and the 24 invisible ones and all their places and their aeons and all their ranks, how they extend - these which are the emanations of the great invisible one - and their unbegotten ones and their self-begotten ones and their begotten ones and their luminaries and their unpaired ones and their archons and their powers (exousiai) and their lords and their archangels and their angels and their decans and their ministers and all the houses of their spheres and all the ranks of each one of them.

And Jesus had not told his disciples of the whole extent of the emanations of the treasury, nor their ranks how they extend, nor had he told them of their saviours, according to the rank of each one, how they are. Nor had he told them which watcher is over each of the doors of the Treasury of Light. Nor had he told them of the place of the twin saviour who is the child of the child. Nor had he told them of the place of the three amens, in which places they extend, and he had not told them in which places the five trees are spread, nor of the seven other amens, namely the seven voices, which their place is and how they extend. And Jesus had not told his disciples of what type are the five helpers (Parastatai). Or into which places they are brought. Nor had he told them in what manner the great light extends, or into which places it is brought- Nor had he told them of the five incisions, nor concerning the first ordinance, into which places they are brought. But he had only spoken to them in general, teaching them that they existed. But he had not told them their extent and the rank of their places according to how they exist. Because of this they also did not know that other places existed within that mystery. And he had not said to his disciples : "I came forth from such and such places until I entered that mystery, until I came forth from it." But he had said to them as hen thaught them : "I came forth from that mystery".

Because of this they thought now of that mystery that it was the completion of all completions, and that it was the head of the All, and that it was (the) whole pleroma, since Jesus had said to his disciples : "That mystery surrounds the totalities of which I have told you all from the day on which I met you until today". Because of this the disciples thought now that there was nothing existing within that mystery..

having myself read the Keys of Enoch 6 times since 1990 ...

Jennie,,, more than honoring Jim Hurtak (Sapan introduced me to Jim and Desiree at The Good Earth Restaurant, Santa Clara, Jan. 93) - you have honored the sacred God space of Melchizedek ... Melchizeldech ... anyhow, again, here : - profound commentaries regarding both Abraham and Yeshua, christ - and ALL of us as we consider the Divine Order of Melchizedek AMEN.

this summer, when i was living on lake atitlan, "navel of the mother goddess," in Quiche mayan, and writing "The Falling of the Avocados" - still working title, you can imagine the 'CONNECT' I experienced, almost every waking and sleeping moment.  probably continually, now as i reflect. 

one day as i was having a $5 breakfast in Juabilito, a very drunk man began reciting massive passages of the PS to me...simply because i was sitting across another table from him???????  other people were having breakfast that day....but he called me "goddess" and began....i could only listen, smiling.

of course, I had no idea of the work, but knew of the truth of his words.  finally, after three hours of absolutely MIND BLOWING conversation, he imparted the site through which i could order the book (almost the way the Book of E came to me at a book store - through some random angel who just led me to it, saying "i think i know what you're looking for"...mmmm...) and I did.  Reading it, along with many other sacred texts, has only deepened my vision, focused my mission and reminded me again, of our GRACE.

thank you again jennie for your incredible devotion and time to impart so much wisdom, knowledge and ENERGY to us all.

we are graced by your gifts, truly, deeply graced dear angel.

bb, ani

ty...was also told 3X since 1997 i am of the order of AAM and Melchezedik, and an angel.  sigh...for the longest time i simply discounted this information.  but as i was writing "Falling of the Avocados, i knew it was accurate - all my life i have been divinely led, even when EGO was at its strongest. 

still working though the dross.  sigh.  remembrance is such grace...but continued remembrance in the face of "triggering" is holding that grace, always, always.

bb, ani 

a little blessed beauty...

Hi Ani.. your pic is of Mitre Peak, Milford Sound, South Island, New Zealand... been there many times and just a beautiful place... the Sound/Fjiord is a stunning place to be...way out in the wilderness yet the tourist buses make the journey there everyday.
