n Theosophical terms, Pistis Sophia represents the soul, or more specifically, the part of the soul that incarnates; namely, the monad of consciousness in the concrete mind. Her name is a key to her role: Pistis is the Greek word for "faith." Not blind faith, but faith arising from total conviction of inner knowledge. Sophia is Greek for "wisdom." Thus her compound name indicates the fundamental principle (faith in the Light—an aspect of God) that enables her to undertake her mission, namely, the development of wisdom in both worlds. Her consort is Jesus, the aspect of the soul that unfolds the triple-natured higher Self in line with Pistis Sophia's progress in the material world. Jesus remained behind in the higher planes when she descended into chaos. This separation expresses the split in consciousness between the higher and lower nature of man. Although man is really one with his divine Self, the usual level of his consciousness cannot reach the spiritual planes; thus in the myth Pistis Sophia and Jesus are presented as separate entities.

To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

"To rule by fettering the mind through fear of punishment in another world, is just as base as to use force"

Hermes negotiates with Hades / Demeter Contends with Hades

12/28/2024

Often, I pick up a book and read, not simply the words appearing on that page—something that opens a locked door in my soul. Today, I picked up my tattered copy of Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore and found something revelatory. These past few weeks, I've become aware that I need to heal the wound of the absent mother. For me, this is expressed in the Demeter-Persephone-Hades triangle. This isn't resolved until Hermes appears to mediate the situation as only he can. I'll post the passage in its entirety later, however, below describes the power and necessity of Hermes.

"At least a third of life, too, seems to belong to the lord of death, as we feel the pain of lost relationships, fading hopes, and failed endeavors. A way to reconcile these intimations of death with vibrant Demeter life is to turn to Hermes - to '"hermeneutics,'" the art of turning our experiences into poetry. This Hermes point of view can perceive how our experiences of depth and darkness may be reconciled with ordinary life." (Moore, Care of the Soul, p47)

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

Hypatia of Alexandria

They asked the soul, "Where do you come from, slayer of men: where are you going, conqueror of space?" The soul answered and said, "What has trapped me has been slain, and what kept me caged has been overcome." "My desire has been ended, and ignorance has died." "In an age (dispensation) I was released from the world in a symbolic image, and I was released from the chains of oblivion, which were only temporary (in this transient world)." "From this time on will, I will attain the rest of the ages and seasons of silence."

Gospel of Mary Magdalene (Chapter 8 Passages 20-24)

The material world produced a great passion (desire or suffering) without equal. This was contrary to the natural balance. The entire cosmos (body) was disturbed by it. That is why I said to you, be encouraged, and if you are discouraged be encouraged when you see the different forms nature has taken.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene (Quoted from: Chapter 4 Passages 30-31)

All nature, all things formed, and all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be dissolved again into their own elements (origins). This is because it is the nature of matter to return to its original elements.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene ( Chapter 4 Passages 22-23)
