Today, we are honored to share with you excerpts from Chapters 8 through 13 of “Pistis Sophia.” Let us continue with the Vesture (clothing) of (inner Heavenly) Light which has been given to Lord Jesus Christ, and its power and magnificence. “‘And in this [third] Vesture (clothing), which we have just sent thee, is the glory of the name of the mystery of the Revealer, which is the First Commandment, and of the mystery of the five Impressions, and of the mystery of the great Envoy of the Ineffable (God), who is the great Light, and of the mystery of the five Leaders, who are the five Helpers. There is further in this Vesture the glory of the name of the mystery of all orders of the emanations (original source) of the Treasury of the Light and of their saviors, and [of the mystery] of the orders of the orders, which are the seven Amens and the seven Voices and the five Trees and the three Amens and the Twin-savior, that is the Child of the Child, and of the mystery of the nine guards of the three gates of the Treasury of the Light.’”“‘It came to pass then, when I saw the mystery of all these words in the Vesture which was sent me, that straightaway I clothed myself therewith, and I shone most exceedingly and soared into the height.’”“‘I entered into the houses of the sphere, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure to the (inner Heavenly) Light that was about me. And all the rulers and all those who are in that sphere, fell into agitation one against another. And they saw the great (inner Heavenly) Light that was about me, and they gazed upon my Vesture and saw thereon the mystery of their name.’”“‘And I left that region behind me and came to the gate of the second sphere, which is the Fate. Then were all its gates thrown into agitation and opened of themselves. And I entered into the houses of the Fate, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure for the (inner Heavenly) Light that was about me, for I shone in the Fate forty-and-nine times more than in the [first] sphere.’”“‘And all the rulers and all those who are in the Fate, were thrown into agitation and fell on one another and were in exceeding great fear on seeing the great (inner Heavenly) Light that was about me. And they gazed on my Vesture of (inner Heavenly) Light and saw the mystery of their name on my Vesture and fell into still greater agitation; and they were in great fear, saying: 'How hath the Lord of the universe passed through us without our knowing?'"
