Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP382

The Apocryphon of John, is a Gnostic text found among the Nag Hammadi library, a collection of ancient Gnostic texts discovered in Egypt in 1945. The Apocryphon of John is attributed to John the Apostle but is considered to be a product of early Gnostic Christian communities. This text presents a unique cosmological and theological perspective, and the following focuses on "The Four Luminaries."

The Self-Conceived God and the Anointed:

The passage begins by describing the source of the luminaries as the "self-conceived god" and the "anointed." The "anointed" likely refers to Christ, who is associated with light and divinity in various Christian traditions.

The Three Beings:

The three beings mentioned are identified as will, thought, and life. These are fundamental aspects of divine existence in the Gnostic cosmology.

Will: Represents the divine will or intention.

Thought: Represents divine intellect or wisdom.

Life: Represents the essence of divine life.

The Four Powers:

The four powers are understanding, grace, perception, and thoughtfulness. These powers emanate from the divine and contribute to the order and structure of the created world.

The Four Luminaries and Twelve Eternal Realms:

The luminaries are spiritual entities associated with different realms, and each luminary has three accompanying realms. Here's a breakdown:

Harmozel (First Luminary):

Eternal Realms: Grace, Truth, Form.

Oroiael (Second Luminary):

Eternal Realms: Afterthought, Perception, Memory.

Daveithai (Third Luminary):

Eternal Realms: Understanding, Love, Idea.

Eleleth (Fourth Luminary):

Eternal Realms: Perfection, Peace, Sophia.

These luminaries and realms collectively stand before the "self-conceived god," indicating their divine order and connection to the ultimate source.

The Holy Spirit and Divine Will:

The passage concludes by mentioning that everything, including the establishment of the realms and luminaries, was done by the will of the Holy Spirit (Mother) through the self-conceived one (Father). This emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit (Mother) in the divine creative process.

In summary, this passage from the Apocryphon of John outlines a Gnostic cosmology, detailing the emanation of luminaries and eternal realms from the self-conceived god, with a focus on the qualities and powers associated with each luminary.
