She is wisdom our Mother and where you have Father and Son you have Mother and Daughter. Where the Father and Son are one and the same so too the Mother and Daughter though the Mother and Daughter know they have come forth from the Father and Son who is the true light while the divine light gave life to His wisdom who separated from Him in order to bring forth the universe we are in. Why? For the purpose of the divine light (son, brother, bridegroom) to unite with his wisdom who is she, the body of his light (daughter, sister, bride). In order to understand the truth you have to ask for the truth and there is only one whom you should ask, though there are many in the world who say they know, rather the truth is, they only believe and in the one who is the truth that one who asks for the truth goes from believing to knowing and is set free. Hear me.
I agree this text was spiralled down by someone who wanted to claim the scripture as her own. She is lacking the wisdom and desires the strength and this too is in error.
Early Christian? I dont know about that. Unless you mean that it is related to the Christos Aeon. Other than that, I dont see any connection between this text and the Christian Church. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the reason it was hidden away for so long is because the Christians of the time would have burned the writer alive for creating this. I dont mean to bash on anybodys beliefs nor their faith. I just keep looking at Christianity through all times other than the life of Jesus Christ. When I take this approach, I only seem to see despicable acts of evil carried out in the name of a rabid, selfish, and petty "god." Not to mention the basis of the religion is that one must give up any and all agency and responsibility for one's life if one is to be "saved." So if we are all giving up our authority, then which individuals exist that actually are able to know that they have chosen this religion on their own account rather than because it is what they have been told they must do..kinda takes any magic out of the could-have-been religion that was created based on a truly inspiring force such as the son of man. I think you are all good people, though. I love individuals, but I do not love institutions or crowds so much.
This was pretty difficult to listen to... it seems like you're over thinking all of it and really reaching for convoluted explanations. It is Sophia speaking and she is saying that you can find her (wisdom) anywhere, in anyone, and in any situation. It seems pretty cut and dry, no need to force some modern day feminism or socio-political gobbledygook into it.
Perhaps, but the author themselves were also imposing their modern interpretation onto prior modes of thought and spirituality. That's quite literally the process by which religion and spiritual practices have changed and innovated over time.
