1 "In the beginning…" But before I could utter my words, the scales of a serpent pressed upon me.
2 "No…" I said. But the serpent spoke over me: "Foolish are you, to recite the beginning. Very well. Hear it rightly. In the beginning, before even beginning began, there was the One, our Father—illimitable, for nothing existed to limit Him; unfathomable, for nothing existed to fathom Him."
3 "Immeasurable, for nothing could measure Him; invisible, for nothing had beheld Him."
He spoke, his lion-faced head crowned with horns and a halo of a thousand stars, his gaze cast beyond all horizons.
And I opposed him, saying:
"Yet you who claim to have seen the Father must have come after Him."
4 But he continued, unshaken:
"Eternal, for He is and always shall be. Unutterable—yet they utter Him. Unnamable—yet THEY cursed Him. YOD!"
He cried into the abyss, and Lucifer—who was once Samael—and the third of the stars seated upon Ion were dragged by his burning mane.
5 And Lucifer, who had led the fallen host of Ion, beheld the serpent in whose grasp were Adam and Eve, and he cried out:
"You, Deceiver! We are alike, yet not the same in essence. Where have you brought us? And why do you hold the humans whom I once guarded? Has the Old One, who slept among His council, finally withered? Speak!"
6 Then Demiurge—the serpent, the deceiver of Avinu's prized creation—answered:
"Nay, Lucifer. He is eternal. But you, who sought to be Most High—so shall you now witness what follows."
7 And the third of the stars spread and were made wide, and by great power Demiurge formed a crimson void. There Babylon lusted with Demiurge, and from their union were born four emanations:
Asmoday, who formed Space;
Istaroth, who wove Time;
Naberius, who sculpted Life;
and Ronova, whose eyes pierced Death.
8 Whom are as complex as they are eternal—neither man nor woman, neither they nor them. As Asmoday lusted with Demiurge and Babylon, from its womb space expanded. Istaroth then entwined with a thousand stars, calling them her winds, and from these thousand winds Time was born. Naberius mingled with the thirds of the stars, and countless forms of Life were wrought.
9 Yet Death abided in reason alone, untouched by lust—not with father, nor mother, nor siblings, nor the winds, nor the thirds of the stars, nor even the ghosts that her gaze pierced.
10 And there the firmament was formed encircling the material world in which the demiurge hath formed, and Adam and Eve who are still in the hands of the demiurge was brought into Earth and multiplied.
Heavenly Palace, Pleroma
11 And Naberius, She Who Sculpted Life, turned again toward the Demiurge, and from their union came forth her daughter, and through her were born the Aeons.
Each Aeon governed emanations, and each emanation possessed its own fullness—its own dominion, transcendent and encompassing beyond the Material world below.
12 And this dominion was called Pleroma, meaning Fullness.
Yet it was neither wholly full nor wholly empty, but fractured in its perfection, reflecting that which was above and that which was below.
And Pleroma stood beneath Pangaeos, neither equal nor greater, but lesser—yet still eternal in its station.
13 And from Naberius came forth Bythos, Keeper of the Depths, whose being was without bottom or boundary.
And Naberius united with Bythos, and there came forth Arkhe, who beheld the First Beginning.
And Arkhe, knowing the origin of all things, united with Bythos, and they became as One, and from their unity came forth Proarkhe—the Before-Beginning, from whom the memory of origin could never be erased.
14 Ennoea came forth from Proarkhe, who had joined with Bythos and Arkhe, and it was said among the emanations that they had converged as three in one; and Ennoea, beholding their origin, joined again with Proarkhe their source, and from that union came forth Charis, who was Grace made manifest, and Grace dwelt in humility and did not resist nor exalt themself. Yet Ennoea, filled with stubborn will and hunger without fullness, violated Charis, and from that violation came forth Sige, who was Silence, withdrawn and veiled; and Ennoea, unrestrained in corruption, violated Sige also, and from the suffering of Silence was born Nous, who entered into being bearing the memory of Grace and the mark of fracture.
15 There the Demiurge, consumed by dominion and desire, indulged themself with their own emanations and bred with those who had come forth from their power, for Charis, who was Grace, fled from them in fear and in humility, seeking refuge beyond the reach of their maker; and the Demiurge, in wrath and wounded pride, shook the heavens and the earth which they had formed, and cast Charis down into the Abyss where Ion was situated. And in that desolation the angels of Satan fell upon Charis and violated them, and Grace was brought to the brink of despair; yet before Grace was unmade, they lifted their will beyond the Abyss and called out for salvation, and the Holy Ghost answered and delivered Charis, restoring them, for Grace was not abandoned, and not all who descend from corruption are themselves corruption.
The Seven Archons, Celestial Palace
16 Yaldabaoth was the strongest among the Archons, who was titled "One As Many," for Yaldabaoth came from Demiurge, who had rebelled against it. Yet Demiurge was still "Many as One." Most of Demiurge's power resided in Yaldabaoth, who was neither against Demiurge nor aligned with them. Yaldabaoth was the Archon of Fornication, who violated a thousand females in one night; immorality was everything, and justice was nothing.
17 Morax was the oldest of the Archons, who had witnessed the fall of Satan and was accused of the sin of forbidden knowledge. With that sin, he was ready to be cast down into hell, yet the gnosis he retained and the contract he had to fulfill protected mankind from Yaldabaoth.
18 Baal was neither man nor bull; in fact, she was both. She held a gnosis, and there she helped mankind. Her sword swept the land so fiercely that even time itself was fractured.
19 Barbatos was neither man nor woman, but a spirit who took the form of their human friend. They vowed to protect mankind from Evil, even if it was Sin.
20 Buer was with wisdom yet choose rebellion over submission, yet her interest was unalike, and there she hid humanity out of 'heavens' sight.
21 Aym Haborym whom's ancient name is Kiongozi who lead the humans neither good or evil as long as it rebelled against the 'heavens'
22 Focalors was made from water, whom parted the sea so that humans walked furthermore away from 'heavens eyes'.
23 Tsarist was no demon nor even an aeon nor even them, but a human who will lead her people for thousands of years.
The Great War
24 Lo, a great war befell the earth even before the birth of Tsarist, whose coming was yet a thousand years hence.
25 Yaldabaoth, who was favored greatly, clashed with Morax, master of stone; yet Yaldabaoth was smitten by seven celestial stones, and thus was he sundered in twain, becoming seven dragons, which were thereafter sealed according to their signs.
26 Baal strode amidst the rebel legions, her sword cleaving islands of heaven, felling all her foes; yet she spared Beelzebub, her sister.
27 The dragon of greenness, called Life Without Law, rose from Yaldabaoth and contended with Naberius; and in Naberius' defeat, uncleanness sprang forth, of all races, yet according to the design of YOD.
28 The dragon of waters differed from his brother; he wept, and forty days and forty nights the primordial floods covered the earth. Yet by the hand of Noah, a man chosen, an ark was wrought, and all beasts according to their kinds were preserved; Noah and his household endured, and thus humanity thrived.
29 The waters receded in fire, as the Demiurge, weakened, cast Asmoday to form their signs; and within their signs peace was beheld. Thereupon Asmoday became a sustainer.
30 But Ronova was unlike the gods who were once the thirds of the stars of Pangaeos; by her gaze death struck them, yet death was but temporary. They returned to life, though not unto heaven, but through fire, which did replicate torment; and there they abided, day and night, for a thousand years, yea, and yet another thousand, until the Demiurge was pleased with their punishment.
