The Infinite Aeons
Before the material world existed, the divine world was created, erupting from the ecstatic union of Sophia (the world soul) and Christ (Divine Mind).
The universe they made together exists outside of time as a realm of infinite possibility and endless exploration, fluid and ever-changing, a hyperspace of pure thought:
“Now Immortal Man revealed Aeons and powers and kingdoms and gave authority to everyone who appeared from him to make whatever they desire until the days that are above chaos. For these consented with each other and revealed every magnificence, even from spirit, multitudinous lights that are glorious and without number.” [1]
“I saw corresponding to each one of the Aeons… living water, air made of light and a fire that cannot burn… trees of many kinds that do not perish… living men and every species, immortal souls, every form and species of mind…” [2]
In the gnostic view, the world we live in obscures this divine reality, although we always remain connected to it; through millions of incarnations, across space and time, from one universe to another, some silent, small part of us always remembers when everything was still just a thought:
“In the name of that first great alien Life, from the worlds of Light, the sublime that stands above all works!” [3]
