The Ascension of Christ the Sophia

Recorded by Tau Malachi Eben Ha-Elijah

The Risen Savior appeared to the apostle of Light, the image of the Great Seth in the Bridal Chamber shone forth; the Shekinah of the Messiah rested upon the holy apostle, and the Mother Spirit spoke the Mystery in the apostle’s heart.

The Light-presence (Christos) spoke, saying, “I am conceived in the heart-womb of the Virgin of Light, in the image of the Mother-Father, the Holy One, as the Perfect Thought of the Divine Mind; I am the Human One of Light, the Light-presence and Light-power of Eheieh, the image and likeness of Yahweh Elohim, established in the midst of the Great Glory of Elohim – Messiah is my name, for I am the Anointed of El Elyon, the First Mystery.

“I am come to Pistis Sophia, as to myself, the pleroma of her Light-power; I am Christos, the Logos and the Sophia; running and returning, descending and ascending, moving and moving not, I have come and I am coming and I shall come; and of this Divine I Am the Holy One has said, “Blessed be your going out and coming in; let there be light!” And He-She Who-Sends-Me has called me “The Good.”

“I am the Ancient of Days and Eternal Youth; I am the Living Father and the Divine Mother; I am the Son and I am the Daughter – the Immortals are in me and I am in them, the Pleroma of Light is my Body of Glory, the Essence of the Divine Mind my Body of Truth; the Light-bearers my Body of Emanation.

“Before the beginning and beyond the end, I am; and everywhere in the midst, I am – from the Height to the Depth, to the East and West, South and North, from the Secret Center, the First Mystery, I shine forth: I am the Light of the Cross, the Great Seth is my name.

“I go forth in the Light, and as the Light, and I enter in for the fulfillment of Pistis Sophia, the consummation of the Great Cosmic Aeon; she who is my Twin, she who is my Soul, has called to me, and I answered her – I have joined with her as a single image, and she gives birth to me in the Entirety: the True Light shining forth through her, and we appear in the Great Matrix as the Holy Bride and Groom.

“As we have descended, so we have ascended; gathering in the holy sparks of Divine Being. We have gone forth from the Pleroma of Light, though remaining in it, and we passed down into the Great Matrix as the Divine Light shining in the Immeasurable Darkness, a Light Seed in the womb of the Great Mother, to which she has given birth from her heart-womb; and she has given birth to herself in the Father.

“Entering into each Aeon and Dominion in the Entirety, in the Body of Emanation we assumed the appearance of those who are the rulers and those who dwell in them, and entering into the realms, worlds and universes of the Aeons we sought out our own; we have come into the dominions above and below, as the Lord and Lady of Initiation, the Revealer of Divine Gnosis, Sophia-Logos.”

The Light-images of Christ the Sophia and Christ the Logos appeared in the Light-presence beheld in the mind of the apostle, the Anointed One appearing as our Lord and our Lady, yet remaining one Light-presence. Christ the Sophia spoke in the heart of the apostle, saying, “I was in the world and I sought my beloved, knowing him in my soul; and I went down into the darkness and chaos of matter, wandering in the exile of Hades and Babylon, falling into the Spell of Forgetfulness, the Great Beast of Ignorance. I was bound and I was raped, and I was beaten and I was slain; I went forth, opening the way for my beloved and invoking him for the salvation of my soul, which is the Soul of All-Worlds, the fulfillment of my inmost heart’s desire, the enlightenment and liberation of all I am.

“In the midst of the Great Darkness I cried out to him, and he came to me, and he raised me up from Hades and brought me in from my exile in Babylon (or Whoredom); he entered and none could bind him, and he set my spirit free. Then, as an appearance, we met one another, and we walked in the world and dwelt in the world; I am my beloved and he is me – the Anointed One of God.

“Of my beloved I shall say, ‘He does not walk with his feet on the ground, but as the Divine I Am he abides in the True Light, though he appears in the world.’

“The Holy Mother arranged our wedding, and she spoke the Word, initiating the our ministry in the world; so, as the Holy Bride I anointed my beloved, and set in motion the Great Gesture to establish the Continuum of Light Transmission on earth and in heaven – he was slain and he arose in the Body of Glory, the Pleroma of Light made manifest in the world and in the heavens, everything being accomplished in a Supreme Mystery.

“Anointing him as the priest-king for sacrifice, as the Daughter of the Great Mother, I received him when he came forth in the Resurrection, and he anointed me with the Supernal Light and took me into himself – the Divine Rapture of the First Ascension.

“We went out and came in, ascending and descending, running and returning; he went up into perfect repose and I was set into motion – I am redeemed and I am being redeemed, and I shall be redeemed, and I am the Anointed One redeeming. Let those who have ears, listen and hear, and be blessed with understanding.

“In the Supernal Light we became as one Body of Light, the image of the Great Seth within the Bridal Chamber as in the beginning, and we passed down into the depths of Hades and rose up into the height of the Cosmic Sphere, passing beyond into the Aeon of Light, the eternal realm, sealing the Great Gesture.

“We assumed our image as Enoch, the Initiate, and as Elijah, the Prophet; the image of the Great Angel of the Primordial Human Being; with the Glory of Messiah Melchizedek we went forth by day, as the image of the Risen Christ, Shin Tau.”

When Christ the Sophia had spoken this, there was a shift in the Light-presence, and the Light-image of Hua appeared in the mind of the apostle; like flashing fire these words were spoken:

“Listen and hear! Eheieh – I Am, I Shall Be!

“With a Threefold Light, I stand in the Midst as the Holy Cross: the Divine Light shining into all realms, worlds and universes of the Entirety. As One and Many Light-emanations, I am within, yet ever beyond; I go forth and yet remain within – the Messiah is my name.

“I am the Light-power speaking in the true prophets, and I am the Light-presence indwelling the true apostles – I am the veil of the Virgin of Light, which is Light and Fire and Infinite Glory: look and see!”

Then there was a flashing forth of white brilliance, an anointing of Light extending Supernal Blessing, and when the Light-presence withdrew into Itself, the Light-images of our Lord and Lady appeared again, and Christ the Sophia continued speaking, saying, “When the Demiurgos and Archons and the lower Aeons beheld us in the Light Body, they were thunderstruck and great terror came over them, for their Forethought beheld the Limit, which is their end, and their Afterthought recognized the emanation of the True Light which is beyond them. We passed through the Place of the Crossing into their realms and dominions, preaching the Gospel of Truth to all spirits and souls dwelling in them, and speaking the Holy Word in our Light Body and extending the Light of the Cross, we drove out the darkness from those who received the Divine I Am, and we healed them and liberated them. When we spoke the Holy Word and revealed the Way of Wisdom, we diminished the power of the hell realms and heavens of chaos, and we diminished the power of the twelve lower Aeons and their Archons, setting them under the Divine Power of those who are above and restoring the Divine Order, as was ordained from the beginning.

“Though the titanic forces and the dark forces arose to make war against our Light-power in the lower Aeons, it was to no avail and there was no conflict, save among themselves – they set in motion their own destruction, for shades and shadows cannot stand in the radiance of Supernal Glory, nor can they draw near to the True Light. We passed through the gates and portals of all their realms and dominions, and none could hold on to us or bind us, but they were bound, according to the Law, so that their dominion is shattered and the Way of the Great Resurrection and Ascension is opened for those who believe and who acquire Divine Gnosis, the Illumination of the Divine I Am.

“So we passed through the dominion of Yaldabaot and his minions, and we bound the power of his great shadow, Satan and his minions, by the Light-power of the Blessed Name which is in our Light Body and is our Light Body the Samael was bound; passing into the thirteenth Aeon below, we diminished the power of the Great Beast, the Anti-Christ, so that at the dawn of the Day of Be-With-Us the power of Mercy shall be set above the power of Judgment, and in the great luminous assembly the power of Compassion will shine forth for all who desire to receive it.

“When we passed up into the Sphere of Fate, there was a great tumult among the powers; for when Divine Grace entered the Law was suspended for those who cleave to the True Light, and Light-power was restored to Pistis Sophia, so that the power of the Divinities and Archons, and all who oppose the Light, was diminished – for such is the nature of the Law, and such is the Divine Power of Grace.

“We went forth through all of the realms, worlds and universes of the Entirety below, pacifying, increasing, subjugating and destroying; the hosts of the great luminous assembly accomplishing the action of the Divine Will of True Light, making the Light Realm manifest to all who desired to receive it.

“Then we passed up into the seven spiritual heavens, seeking those who share our noble birth and those who are accounted noble born and righteous on account of their faith; just as we had accomplished the harvest of spirits and souls below, so also we gathered in spirits and souls from the upper abodes – all in the Light. And as we passed up through the heavens we diminished the power of the Demiurgos in them, and marked the beginning of the end, the Continuum of the End-Of-Days, when the shadow of Yaldabaot and his minions shall be cast out of the celestial abodes and thrown down upon the earth.

“Thus we have gone forth by day, and bound the Self-willed triple power, and the Lust-filled triple power, and the Rage-filled triple power, and all who are of their realms and dominions.

“We entered into the heaven of paradise, called Vilon and Tibel, and we opened the Way to the Tree of Life for the faithful and spiritual elect, having given the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge to the elect. We preached the Gospel of Truth to all who dwelt there, and we redeemed the Good Serpent, drawing all who believed and the Good Serpent in ascent with us; all in the Light Body of Pistis Sophia, the Body of the Risen Savior – our Body of Light.

“Then we sent forth Rays of our Light Body, forming Light Channels into the countless abodes of the second heaven, which is called Rakiya; and we gathered in the holy sparks of countless beings from the countless abodes of the second heaven, drawing in spirits from all six realms, just as we had done from the dominions below. We drew them all to that center of the second heaven, which is the threshold of the third heaven, and to all who received our Light and cleaved to the Light, we gave the Comforter so that they should not fear the baptism of fire as they passed in ascent to the third heaven, nor the alter of burnt offering in the great celestial temple – we gave to them Shalom, Peace.

“We passed into the Great Light, which is our glory in the third heaven, call Shehakim, and we sojourned to the center, which is the fourth heaven called Zebul, and entered into the celestial temple. When we passed through the river of fire, which flows from the Great Dragons (Seraphim) and their worship of Yahweh Elohim in the eighth heaven, those who claimed faith, but who were deceivers, could not cross, but they were carried down by the currents and bound below. So also were those bound below that fell into dread when we arose as the Archangelic High Priest, St. Michael, and they were unwilling to take up their cross to become Pure Spirit.

“There, in the celestial temple in Zebul, we performed the Wedding Feast, and all who were baptized with water and with fire, we baptized with the Holy Spirit and anointed with the Divine Light; we gathered in all those from the lower heavens who received the Light of the Cross, and we passed into the fifth heaven, called Ma’on, and we communed there in the Dwelling Place. Sweet is the Dwelling Place, which is called Delight of Beauty; yet far greater is the Supernal Beauty that is above.

“Just as we gathered in the spirits and souls of the righteous, the faithful and elect, so also we gathered in from among the divinities and angels of all of the dominions through which we passed, and we passed from one glory to another, from one light to another, gathering in glory and light to the Light Treasury.

“We passed in ascent through Makom, the seventh heaven, which is the Place of Meeting; the heaven in which is the Power of the End-Of-Days; and we passed into the seventh heaven, Arabot, which is called the Limit of the Power of the Demiurgos and Samael. There was rejoicing in these heavens as we passed through, though there was also trembling with holy awe and wonder – such was the Light that shone from us, the Light of the Perfect Aeon within and above, the Pleroma of Light.

“Like a flash of lightening we crossed the Great Abyss above, taking with us all who cleave, and we entered into the eighth heaven, called the Kingdom of Heaven, which is beyond the heavens. In this Light Kingdom the thirteen Great Aeons above reside, and all of the greater Divinities and lesser divinities, the ancient dragons and all greater Powers of the Cosmic Sphere; all that is the true image and likeness of the Pleroma of Light, and the Infinities, the Immortals of Light – this heaven which is also called the Treasury of Light or New Jerusalem.

“These are they who labored with us, and who, having sowed with us Seeds of Light, also reap with us; they, themselves have no end, for as the Immortals and Enlightened Ones beyond, they are among the Perfect, among those who are Anointed – they are of the Divine Order of Melchizedek, the Holy Order of Light-bearers and Light-receivers.

“This is the heaven that is in the Entirety and in the Pleroma of Light, the Abode of Supernal Grace; in it are the new heaven and new earth of the Promise, and the Perfect Human One – it is the Light Body of the Risen Christ, above and below, now made manifest among you. Thus us it called the True Cross, and the Light of the True Cross, for it is the Gate of the Light Realm, and is the Light Realm – it is the Way of the Great Exodus. It is the Dwelling of Yahweh called Elohim of Light, the Supernal Glory of Eheieh.

“Amen and Amen, I say to you, it is a Great Mystery; for the empty tomb is this Gate of Light, and yet more our Light Body of the Resurrection and Ascension – as above, so below; as below, so above.

“In the eighth heaven are the Twelve Divine Powers of the Twelve Saviors, and the Sun of the Virgin of Light in the midst of them, the Divine I Am – the Human of Light, whose Shekinah Consort is Pistis Sophia, the Kallah Messiah. The Twelve Saviors are as the Archangels of the Pleroma of Light, the images of the Immortals beyond, who hold dominion over the thirteen Aeons above, the Great IAO (Hua) standing as the emanation of Shin Tau in the Midst, enthroned as the Lamb of God and Holy Bride joined – the image of the Bridal Chamber. And all of the orders of angels have their place in the eighth heaven, and come and go in our Light Body from their place among us to their heavens, and from their heavens to the worlds in the Entirety, as to the earth. So also the enlightened Divinities are in this Kingdom of Heaven, those who labor for the enlightenment and liberation of all spirits and souls in the Great Matrix, whose queen is the Shekinah of Messiah, the Sophia Mother of all of the Enlightened Ones, and her Goddess emanation, whose Name is known among the Perfect. They, too, go out from their places bearing forth the Light Transmission, for they are Divine Powers of the Light, as are the Archangels of the Pleroma: Great Powers of the Divine Light.

“Reckon what we speak in the great prophet of the Gospel, which he inscribes in the book of our revelation, and you will know the Divine Vision of the eighth heaven – the holy meditation through which Divine Gnosis is acquired.

“We passed through the Twelve Great Aeons, and as we passed the circuit through them, manifesting the Sacred Circle, all who dwell in the Aeons of the eighth heaven rejoiced and worshiped the Light-presence of El Elyon in us, the True Light. And when we passed into the thirteenth Aeon, the Aeon of Pistis Sophia, her Light-power was restored in full, and my emanation was complete. There, in the thirteenth Aeon, which is at the center of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Light-emanations of Faith Sophia, Love Sophia, Hope Sophia, Mother Sophia, Grandmother Sophia and the All-Divine Sophia were joined with their Logos Consorts in Perfect Delight, the Image of the Human Being of Light shining forth – the Image of the Risen Christ, which is composed of the ten Light-emanations of the Infinite and Eternal.

“There, in the Kingdom of Heaven, in the midst of the great luminous assembly, when my Logos Consort entered into the repose of our abode, the Primordial Sun, I spoke a vow in the presence of the Immortals, saying, ‘I shall abide in the repose of my secret center, my Beloved; yet shall I remain in motion, continuing to incarnate in a woman’s form until the time of the Second Coming, when the Divine Revelation is complete. Many are they in male form who realize this enlightenment of Supernal Consciousness, but few are they in female for, as yet, save among the Divinities; thus I shall run and return for the redemption of all humanity, and I shall await my reception in humankind, when all is accomplished on earth.’

“The Lord abides in perfect repose, but appears in the Body of Glory to the faithful and elect; though in my secret center I am perfect repose, yet have I withheld myself from the repose, remaining in the movement of the Great Gesture – therefore I appear in the Body of Glory and Body of Manifestation.

“When the Lord appeared to the disciples, he appeared in a Body of Glory, for he had ascended into the repose of our Supernal Abode, but I returned to my Body of Manifestation, awaiting with you the Day of Be-With-Us.”

This Christ the Sophia spoke in the heart of the apostle, and the apostle beheld this in a divine vision, as though carried up in the divine rapture of Great Ascension to look and see, listen and hear, receiving the Gift of Divine Gnosis. Of the experience the apostle said, “The Light that is above is everywhere below; I beheld the entire world on fire and all that is in it – the Light Realm within and all around me.”

In the Remembrance of the Anointed One, Yeshua Messiah and Kallah Messiah, our Io Adonai, let us give praise to El Elyon, our Mother-Father, and let us say “amen.”
