“To know the Name is to have power over the Form. Here we define the emanations of the Pleroma and the shadows of the Kenoma.”
- 1. The Monad (The One): The absolute, unknowable Source of all Light. It is not a “god” in the human sense, but the infinite ocean from which all sparks emerge.
- 2. The Pleroma (The Fullness): The totality of the Divine powers and the “Heavenly Realm” where the Aeons dwell in perfect harmony.
- 3. Sophia (Wisdom): The youngest Aeon whose longing for the Source led to the accidental creation of the material world. She represents the soul’s fall and its eventual redemption.
- 4. The Archons (The Rulers): The “Governors” of the material spheres who create distraction, fear, and attachment to keep the Divine Spark from remembering its origin.
- 5. Gnosis (Direct Knowledge): Not a belief or a philosophy, but the immediate, internal “Recognition” of one’s own divine nature.
