Eugnostos the Blessed

There is a very special light, that radiates from this text....different from all the previous chapters. Eugnostos was undoubtedly a high level mystic and perceived the mysteries with great clarity. It is implied in the text, that he was also a teacher of some sort......I don't doubt that he helped many students reach great Gnosis. 

 In my blog, "Glyph Update #3", I mention Holy Flames as a Celestial "ore vein", this chapter is overflowing with that power. Though the flame "quality", is too subtle for me to discern. Archangel Michael is known for carrying the Blue Flame (but that's just one) and there are many mystery schools that focus on this arcana, which would benefit from the text. Undoubtedly, the author would be a cool intelligence to summon and an ally for aspiring mystics.   

The text overall, is extremely dense and difficult to parse. So much information is packed in this short piece, but my favorite excerpt is part of the ending section: "The Eternal Realms Are Completed"  

 
"Thus the eternal realms were completed, with their heavens and firmaments, for the glory of the immortal Human and his companion Sophia. This is where <the ideas were for> all the realms and their worlds and those that were to follow, to provide patterns for those who would resemble them in the heavens and worlds of chaos. All natures, from the immortal one, from the unconceived one to the revelation in chaos, are in the light that shines with no shadow but with ineffable joy an unspeakable praise. They continue to rejoice over their glory that never fades and the state of rest that cannot be measured, which can neither be described nor conceived among all the realms that have come to be, and their powers. 

This is enough. I have told you all this so that you might accept it, until one who does not need to be taught appears among you. The one will tell you all these things in joy and pure knowledge." pg 282
