THE ABOVE IS THE NAME OF THE WORK which was subtitled [A COPTIC GNOSTIC TEXT] wi
th commentary by J.J. HURTAK. I have decided to make some observations on this i
mportant work since this 907 page treatise may be an esoteric "blueprint" as to
how to go from a "bud" to a "BLOSSOM"....To distinguish my comments from the com
mentary of Hurtak, I have bracketed my comments in the following manner: [[~~]].
(THE SOURCE MATERIAL ITSELF was published by "THE ACADEMY FOR FUTURE SCIENCE", o
ut of Los Gatos, CA 95031 ~ in 1999.)
The book is divided into five books, represented in roman numerals ~ followed by
the section, when noted, and the pages as reflected by above publication....
BOOK I:
[[This book is basically an allegory of the soul's descent & eventual ascent bac
k to the SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY, once it realizes its position, makes A proper seri
es of repentences while singing & praying with the faith & hope that it will be
forgiven and accepted back: IN MANY WAYS ~ THE LOWER SOPHIA is reflective all al
l men & women endowed with the "spirit of God" within....seeking with all their
hearts~minds~ & souls to get back to the FATHER OF THE ALL ~ THE ETERNAL UNBEGOT
TEN....]]
In the introduction, Hurtak motivates the reader with the following comment: "..
.with the total understanding of 'gnosis' one would become a functional divine b
eing, a being who can operate in multiple realms." (xxi) SOPHIA = the spark of d
ivinity that is 'TRAPPED' in each soul (xxiii-xxxiv)...and that salvation depend
s on a series of petitions & songs. It is the gnostic concept of the AWAKENING P
ROCESS between the male & female energy SO THAT IT IS NO LONGER BOUND BY THE DUA
LISTIC UNCONSCIOUS NATURE!
[[Hurtak sees Mary Magdalene as the human reflection of the lower Sophia who eve
n reached a higher spiritual understanding than John the Divine. If one reads tw
o tractates in the NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY:"The Gospel of Philip" as well as "The Go
spel of Mary", this theme would be punctuated for the reader of this treatise.]]
In I:1-2, the text itself stated that Jesus stayed eleven years teaching the 'in
ner group' since one must know the LIVING GOD COMPLETELY TO ASCEND. [[This is al
so a major theme of THE NAG...:i.e. being perfect in order to ascend.]]So sacred
was the PISTIS SOPHIA in presenting this information, that it was ranked higher
than (a)THE TEACHINGS OF CLEMENT OF ROME (b) THE SHEPHERD OF HERMES (c) ORIGIN
(outstnding father of the early Christian church) (d)CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA....(V
ERSE 2)
The divine glory of Christ = "AIN SOPH" whose function was to prepare the LIGHT
BODIES for ALL who follow in his footsteps. [[WOW!!!~~~This is the reason that I
did Episode IV of my documentary ~ "BEHIND THE ILLUSION", so I personally take
the above statement very seriously!!!]] Our goal is to pierce the five veils (at
the 3rd~the 6th~and the 9th hour-symbolically represented by the agony on the c
ross) so that we will be armed with the necessities of being transfigured into L
IGHT BODIES ~~as witnessed by first ~ MOSES ~ and later by PETER-JAMES & JOHN at
the TRANSFIGURATION. THIS IS OUR DESTINY ~for those who follow in his (Christ's
) footsteps!!!
I:15. p.105~ Hurtak notes that SEMJASE (Senjase) = AZAZEAL = THE POWERFUL FALLEN
ANGEL whose function it is to "block our ascension" [[Analogous to 'THE NECESSA
RY FERTILIZER' symbolism I have used on this website for the bud to grow; if you
read Richard Thompson's insightful book, "ALIEN IDENTITIES" ~ YOU MAY SEE AN IN
TERESTING CONNECTION between the above & the religious comments of the author re
d even in "some" of our motion pictue shows: for instance, in the movie, "LITTLE
BUDDHA" ~ Siddhartha overcomes the duality of "MARA" (the chief architect of th
e Hindu religion) by seeing through his "tricks" and laughing at this same "high
er" being....This drove MARA 'CRAZY!!!'....ARCHONS LIKE MARA are, in effect, poa
chers of our souls, that Charles Fort in his book"THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED") refer
red to as the caretakers of us --AS PROPERTY OF THEIRS. Yes indeed: temporarily
IF WE ARE WISE ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE OUR PLIGHT!!!]]
MULTIPLE LEVELS OF FORGIVENESS: (I:46, p.213)...We must fight the 666 of THE KIN
GDOM OF MAN. [[like a BULLdog]] and move to the 7th chakra ~ 777 ~ which is the
transition point to the 8th ~ 888 = GEMATRIA OF THE SAVIOR.
>>>THE KEY IS TO FORGIVE UNCONDITIONALLY ~ EVEN THE ARCHONS ~ [[as in "EVEN THE
ROMANS?" ~ YES ~ EVEN THE ROMANS]] ~ which becomes the WISDOM necessary for asce
nsion.<<< [[If you see the great movie, "JESUS OF NAZARETH" ~ there is a beautif
ul scene between Jesus & Barabbas that dramatizes this very point.]]
RETRENCHING: By meditating, we find "that space" away from the archons that infe
st our souls [[some worse than others]] which is THAT PLACE where the LORD JESUS
has prepared as A PLACE OF REFUGE!!! [[I cannot help thinking of "THE BHAGAVAD
GITA" with commentary by Paramahansa Yogananda ~ who ~ in effect, said the same
thing....but he went further as to the science of developing meditation to the p
oint where you literally become ONE WITH THE FATHER....Each man or woman, must d
ecide as best he/she can, the best approach to do this. THE POINT IS ~ IT MUST B
E DONE ~ AND THE SOONER THE BETTER!!! I personally like the outdoors ~ especiall
y TREES as symbolic of "linking" to our Father-THE FATHER OF ALL. cf. my publish
ed poem, "REFLECTIONS ENTWINED".]]
HURTAK quotes vs.4-5 of PSALM 30, which reflects the same sentiment:
"FOR YOU BRING ME OUT OF THE NET THAT THEY HAVE SET FOR ME, FOR YOU ARE MY STRON
GHOLD...."
ENDING BOOK I with tips by Hurtak on recognizing ARCHONS: The LORDS OF DARKNESS
cannot give off the aura of UNDERSTANDING & COMPASSION. Their love = eros NOT ag
ape!!! [[It follows from this, that as you gain in spiritual discernment, that y
ou will actually recognize the beings that you may be confronted with during the
process of the end of a cycle where you may have the opportunity to ascend: THE
Y WILL PESTER YOU UNTIL THE VERY END (as they did with THE CURE OF ARS as well a
s ST. ANTONY-1st century ascetic) but take heart, for as John the Divine has sta
ted:"test the spirit..." (1JOHN4:1) where he also says that those who do not pro
fess that Jesus came in the flesh ARE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST!!! A word to the wise..
.]]
BOOK II
[[A CAUTIONARY INTRODUCTION TO...~~According to the TRIPARTITE TRACTATE found wi
thin THE NAG... the LOGOS: JESUS THE CHRIST was entrusted with ALL of the organi
zation of "ALL" that exists~~so when we read in BOOK II that the power of Christ
is 'shared' with ARCHANGEL MICHAEL & GABRIEL (PGS. 305-306), we must understand
it as "part of the organization as reflected in the above tractate....Sometimes
I get the uneasy feeling that Dr. Hurtak does not make these types of distincti
ons crystal clear, especially during his commentaries on the substrata sagas of
the trinity of ISIS~OSIRIS~HORUS!!! One should read the whole of BOOK II for him
/herself to see the complicated presentation he makes of above. I will simply mo
ve on to other more pertinent observations of this intriguing text.]]
In II:80, a typical motif is to present a truth out of the mouth of one of the N
ew Testament personalities, of which Mary Magdalene takes prominent position. (T
he following is out of the mouth of Martha): She echoes Psalm 7 where the UNCOND
ITIONAL POWER OF LOVE IS A NECESSARY INGREDIENT TO WIN OVER THE POWERS OF NEGATI
ON. [[Of course, the first thing that jumps into one's mind ~ at least my mind ~
is the life of Mahatma Gandhi as dramatized so brilliantly by Ben Kingsley in t
he movie, "GANDHI"....MAHATMA (GREAT SOUL) would rather go on a hunger strike th
an allow his followers to kill their enemies (who, in effect, were their brother
s as part of the human family. We could, of course, use more heroic people to de
monstrate the truth of things by going on this same type of NON-VIOLENT hunger s
trike!!!]]
CALL & THE HELP WILL COME: (PGS. 398-405}....One of the most interesting quotes
is from the mouth of Pistis Sophia herself: AND WHEN I DESCENDED, I LOST MY POWE
R & BECAME WITHOUT LIGHT, AND NO ONE HELPED ME...AND IN MY DISTRESS, I SANG PRAI
SES TO THE LIGHT, AND IT DELIVERED ME FROM MY DISTRESS.
The calling out to the LIGHT is what BREAKS the gates of the lower vibration....
[[IT MAY BE THE REASON WHY JESUS WAS ALWYS SEEN IN PRAYER to his Father (ABBA)..
.and taught his disciples THE LORD'S PRAYER >THE OUR FATHER.]]
"MAN IS DOOMED TO PERFECTION"...is a Hurtak phrase I first saw in his other comm
entary:THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE~THE KEYS OF ENOCH. It is here reflected in II:80, p
gs.411-412. A pure light garment is NECESSARY to go into the HIGHER REALMS. [[Th
is is confirmed in "The Gospel of Philip' within THE NAG...]] The text quotes Ps
alm 51:
OH LORD, WASH ME WITH HYSSOP~MAKE ME WHITE AS SNOW.
[[HYSSOP of course is a pungent leaf used in medicine...the twig was also used t
o sprinkle water in ancient Jewish religious rites.]]
SABAOTH: (PGS.488-489)~ We must mirror the emanations of SABAOTH, THE GOOD, and
become as hosts of Light. [[cf. 'Hypostasis of the Archons'in THE NAG... to see
how Sabaoth "the good" was converted from the darkside to THE LIGHT after what h
appened to his father -one- YALDABAOTH (THE NOT SO GOOD).]]
THE KEY TO THE LIGHT KINGDOM: (PGS.493-494)~ RENOUNCE THE WORLD but not humanity
since we must help our fellow man and by so doing, one helps oneself~~[[DRAGGIN
G EACH OTHER UP THE MOUNTAIN OF TRUTH & LIGHT]]...if we do it with our whole hea
rt and our whole mind and our whole strength!!!...WHEN MEN DO THIS>>>MANKIND ITS
ELF WILL BE TRANSFORMED!!! This is also how you gain THE FIRST MYSTERY!!! [[The
saints knew this instinctively ~ saints like my favorite ~ Bernadette Soubirous
(the unassuming one of humility & simplicity) as well as the saint of the East ~
Paramahansa Yogananda. What did they have in common?[:] When they died, they bo
th DID NOT CORRUPT!!! This is a sign that their bodies had been transmuted to a
higher level!!!]]
HOW TO KNOCK FOR THE RIGHT ANSWERS: II:83-84, PGS.413-427~~ As per "the mouth of
" Mary Magdalene: YOU MUST BE PURE OF HEART TO GAIN THE RIGHT VIBRATION & YOU MU
ST PRAY INCESSANTLY ALONE to the FATHER (LIKE JESUS)....If you do these things,
you actually will change your FATE by breaking its hold over you!!! [[This was c
onfirmed in the AKASHIC RECORDS as "mouthed" by another well-connected one: EDGA
R CAYCE!]]...A promise was actually made to Mary by Jesus: THE PEOPLE OF LIGHT W
HO COVET & SEEK WILL GAIN ACCESS TO THE HIDDEN TREASURE OF THE HEAVENS.
THE PSALMS & THE TREE OF LIFE: {II:86, p.434}~ This concerns the link to the sph
ere of SEPHIROTH and the full awareness of God. The five books [of Psalms] = the
five trees = the five bodies of ascension. [[This is why the PSALMS are conside
red the Bible within the Bible.]] When we master the above, we harnass the "CONN
ECTIVENESS" of the TREES OF LIFE ~ TO THE GREATER TREE! [[This is similar to bei
ng "grafted" back to the vine in the beautiful metaphorical language of ST. PAUL
'S EPISTLES.]] Hurtak states that EVERY culture had the seed of truth planted in
T!!!]]
HOW DO YOU GET THE "MYSTERIES?": {II:97, PGS.518-521} ~ [[WELL IF YOU HAVE THE M
ENTALITY OF THE KINGDOM OF MAN ~~ FORGET ABOUT IT!!!]] Your place in THE KINGDOM
OF GOD is relative to your DESIRE to do the will of God. i.e. in helping one's
fellow man & sharing the knowledge & wisdom of THE MOST HIGH!!! [[EGO HAS NO PLA
CE HERE.]] Hurtak uses the expression ~ GEBURAH ~ one who veers neither to the l
eft nor the right...[[kind of like getting off the main road to get to THE BACKS
IDE INN ~ THE straight ROAD THAT LEADS to the narrow DOOR!]]
MIDTERM EXAMS ~ WHEN DEATH INTERPOSES: {p.520} ~ This is when the "avenging rece
ivers" raise their ugly heads as in the TIBETAN SCRIPTURES where one is confront
ed with the demons of death of the UNDERWORLD, meeting such beings as BGEGS & "G
RIL BUM" and other 'blood drinkers' ~ [[just to keep you on your toes!]]
Hurtak ends BOOK II with the "silly" notion that by sharing the WORD OF TRUTH ~
it begins the process of ASCENSION!!!
[[Of course ~ in THE KINGDOM OF MAN ~ IF YOU SHARE ANYTHING WITH ANYBODY ~ YOU A
RE CONSIDERED A "SUCKER" where NICE GUYS FINISH LAST!!! and the last will be fir
st....!!!]]
On pgs. 542 & 543, the concept of loving with a capitol "L" allows one to become
the "LEAVEN OF THE TREASURY" & it is THEY who will break the mold of the 'DOUGH
" that they were apart of with the ARCHON KINGDOMS. [[This is worth MEDITATING O
N since it is your ticket out of the prison [[like the ''Get out of jail free" c
ards you were so grateful for when you played MONOPOLY!]] In response to Andrew'
s question, Jesus confirms that this is the "ticket" ~ the actual recipe ~ for o
vercoming the powerful archons of the lower realms....[[BECOME AN "EMPATH" & ALL
YOUR TROUBLES WILL SOON BE OVER!!!]]
Those who do not share ~ like the ARCHONS & THEIR MINIONS ~ will get stuck in th
e "FALSE STATE OF ENLIGHTENMENT" ~ a state of "SAMADHI" which fuels the forces o
f darkness. [[This, in fact, causes such phenomenon as THE NEW WORLD ORDER ~ whi
ch lustful & technocratically inclined self-willed elitist-type mentalities are
attracted to ~ at the expense of "the Many" ~ but what do they care about the ma
ny anyway?!? These are the very ones who will become the technocratic beasts of
future oblivion, doomed to perfection in some other mixture of future reality.]]
As the psalmist says: THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART ~ THERE IS NO GOD!
In 325 C.E., at the NICENE COUNCIL, the concepts of REINCARNATION as well as THE
CIRCULATION OF THIS BOOK, ~ PISTIS SOPHIA, were attempted. trying to deny - if
they could - the ongoing work of THE HOLY SPIRIT. [[Needless to say, their effor
ts would be like spitting against the wind ~ in this case ~ THE HOLY WIND of the
SPIRIT OF SHEKINAH.]]
According to Hurtak (p.552), 144,000 symbolically represented those who had come
FROM THE HEIGHTS...of OLAM ATZILUTH...into the lower realms to "cleanse the deb
ris". [[Me thinks there is still some debris to clean up!]]
BOOK III
III:102. P.560 ~ We see Jesus pronounce the 32 RENUNCIATIONS which reflect our l
ower animal nature that MUST BE OVERCOME TO ASCEND. We will also be devoured by
these same animals between lives. Arch-types would be ARIEL = (in Arabic) ARI =
'LION-FACED ONE'. In the New Testament, Peter stated that Satan goes about like
a lion to seek those whom he could devour. [[I do not think this is coincidence.
My favorite is saying #7 in The Gospel of Thomas, which simply stated goes like
this: "Fortunate is the lion that the human will eat, so that the lion becomes
human. And foul is the human that the lion will eat, and the lion will become hu
man." If you are no good at riddles, this key saying can be understood if you go
to Robert Winterhalter's, "THE FIFTH GOSPEL" with his excellent commentary. Not
to leave you in the dark, one interpretation is that the first lion is THE LION
OF JUDAH = JESUS THE CHRIST, so if we were to eat him symbolically by following
in his footsteps, we would be fortunate indeed. As for the second lion (SELF-WI
LLED EGO) could literally eat us up on the inside, so when we die, ARIEL & CO. w
ill eat your soul on the outside; either way, it would be a 'foul' experience.]]
[[Everyone remembers what happened to the 'foul' man in the movie, "GHOST" who h
ad a surprise awaiting him at his unfortuante sudden death as he was dragged awa
y by the SHADDOW DEMONS who seemed to enjoy their work. In my poem, "THE HEART &
THE FEATHER", there was a line that I took from the concept in THE EGYPTIAN BOO
K OF THE DEAD that had to do with being as light as a feather so that "...no dea
dly beast could pounce" ~ like a crocodile or lion or serpent or any other deadl
y beast who goes about looking for those to devour.]]
The 32 RENUNCIATIONS are balanced by the 10 positive affirmations (cf. p.568-569
) which are, in effect, the BEATITUDES TO THE ENTH DEGREE!....[[cf. "SPIRITUAL J
OB OPPORTUNITY" on my web page which is the "condensation" of "The Gospel of Tho
mas' ~ which, it was promised, that anyone who understood & acted upon its sayin
gs, would NOT TASTE DEATH!!! I do not give these types of tips every day, so a w
ord to the wise....]] AND YES ~ the 10 will overcome the 32 if you attack it wit
h your whole heart & mind & soul.
IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO GET TO HEAVEN: [[One of the biggest surprises in reading t
his treatise & commentary was the following phrase from this sacred writing. WHY
? Well, when I was doing a paranormal tv show, I was quizzing Bob Luca (husband
of the famous Betty Andreasson Luca) whose mother had just died, and he was aski
ng for some type of closure from his mother: To make a long story short, he had
a dream subsequent to her death where in the dream, his mother told him that it
took her THREE DAYS TO GET TO HEAVEN....What made this story intriguing, (and yo
u can confirm this by reading, "THE ANDREASSON LEGACY", his now "dead" mother ho
nked a horn from a burned-out Toyota, sitting outside of Bob's home where the ve
ry wires were burned out! Bob said that he wanted some closure: WELL HE GOT IT,
BIG TIME!!!]]
SO WHAT'S WITH THE THREE DAYS???: On p.572, after the soul has been through the
circuits, IT TAKES THREE DAYS OF VEXATION as the soul is lead by one of the THRE
E TRIPLE POWERS before it takes it from the "avenging receivers". On the last da
y, the soul is partly vexed as it wonders through the CHASTIZEMENTS & JUDGMENTS.
Acoording to Hurtak, THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD has the similar type of proce
ss. The same process goes even for higher souls. [[I am sure one thinks of the t
hree days that Jesus spent before he "ascended" to his Father. It certainly make
s one wonder.]]
A REVELATION: THE PROCESS OF ASCENSION ~ EVEN AT THE END OF THE PROCESS ~ IS A T
WO-STEP ARRANGEMENT: (P.575)~ that when the soul has been perfected (a righteous
soul) it still needs the 'PROPER GNOSIS' to ascend so THE VIRGIN OF LIGHT (the
inner aspect of THE HOLY SPIRIT)examines such a soul and sends it back in a body
WHICH WILL 'BE FAVORABLE' to find signs of the 'MYSTERIES OF LIGHT'...THEN FORE
VER IT WILL INHERIT THE LIGHT KINGDOM!!! BUT FIRST ~ YOU MUST PASS THROUGH THE D
ARKNESS ~ THE SEPARATION ~ THE FEAR before one can appreciate the Light. (p.576)
NOTE: (P.582)~ you cannot just get the mysteries, but you must apply them to mak
e a BREAKTHROUGH...and here, you only have three opportunities to accomplish thi
s without being considered a hypocrit!!! If you fail here, A SANCTION IS IMPOSED
!
THE MYSTERIES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS: The soul must learn both WISDOM & FORGIVENES
S before it can even administer to other souls; now sin is the casting off of th
e body & spirit from the unity of Light...BUT...the sin of the Holy Spirit is kn
owing the higher mysteries (like the archons) BUT NOT WANTING TO SHARE THE INFOR
MATION.(P.585) & ALSO (2PETER2:20-21)
Any sign of hypocrisy, especially after receiving the mysteries, will subject th
e soul to the JAWS OF THE OUTER DRAGON...[and we all know what that means by now
!]
REINCARNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS as to the CHOICES OF THE SOUL: (PGS.608-614) ~ AS I
N
(A) AN UNREALIZED SOUL = NO CHOICE! [[SORRY!]]
(B) THE SEMI-REALIZED SOUL (which is above the five senses [[indicating that it
is slightly above the animal nature]] ) gets to choose its family ~ opportunitie
s ~ and cultural mileau. [[so if typhoons ar not to your liking, you may conside
r an inland setting]]
(C) THE HIGHER REALIZED SOUL gets to choose in consort with the VIRGIN OF LIGHT.
This is so becasue such souls are concerned with activating the higher work of
humanity. [[One's mind may drift to such personalities as Mother Teresa ~ Mahatm
a Gandhi ~ Paramahansa Yogananda ~ and even my precious Bernadette Soubirous of
Lourdes...ALL SUCH SWEET SOULS and let's not forget our favorite saints like Fra
ncis of Assisi ~ the Cure of Ars ~ Padre Pio and I guess we could even add Pope
John XXIII , who was such a nice fellow who did so much in our own lifetime!!!]]
A BIRD IN A CAGE? {III:112, PGS.615-625} ~ where the ARCHONS will pursue us (in
this prison of lower density) until the soul can reveal to them the "MYSTERY OF
THE DISSOLVING OF THE SEALS WITH WHICH WE HAVE BOUND YOU (THE ARCHON) TO THE SOU
L" ~~This quote is from the archon of the GREAT HEIMARMENE. You must give enough
of the mysteries to be released from their bondage. [[Where is that 'get out of
jail free' card when you really need it??!?? this "PRISON" or ""CAGE" is also r
eflected in the NAG 'TRACTATE', "Hypostasis of the Archons"...where the archons
appear like wardons and we all where numbers on our chest and this ain't no movi
e, folks!!!]]
[[A SOBERING THOUGHT]]: WHAT IF WE ARE LIKE ANDY IN "SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION" WHERE
WE HAVE TO inch our way to freedom ONE SCOOPFUL AT A TIME FOR TWENTY YEARS OR S
O?
THE SOUL IS LIKENED TO A COIN: {III;113-125. PGS.628-677} ~ where Mary Magdalene
compared the soul to a coin of silver & copper...where your enemies are the COP
PER part of the coin and your job, if you choose to accept it, is to "unhomogini
ze" the coin by transforming the copper to silver (the Divine will) so that the
copper (self will) is burned away, one grain at a time ~ [[kind of like the scoo
pfuls of dirt referred to before]] When the coin becomes silver, we cash in our
chip and then we can go home!!!
The 'copper' is also likened to dropping the two lower bodies, i.e. destiny & th
e counterfeit spirit, something like sloughing off the dead skin of a snake. Acc
ording to the text, when we do this, the THREE GREATER BODIES OF LIGHT ARE ACQUI
RED and your house (coin) is once again united, similar to the FIVE TREES OF LIF
E "RELINKING' TO THE GREATER TREE OF LIFE. [[NOW WE ARE REALLY CONNECTED.]] Acca
ording to Jesus (p.643), only "a few" souls achieve SOUL~SPIRIT (NESHAMAH) in an
y given age....[[I HAVE OFTEN SAID THAT THIS IS THE REASON THAT GOD HAD INSTITUT
