“Knorr von Rosenroth, busying himself with the interpretation of the Kabala, argues that, “In this first state, (of secret wisdom), the infinite God Himself can be understood as ‘Father’, (of the new covenant). But the Light being let down by the Infinite through a canal into the ‘ primal Adam’, or Messiah, and joined with him, can be applied to the name SON. And the influx emitted down from him, (the Son), to the lower parts, (of the universe), can be applied to the character of the Holy Ghost.”
Sophia-Achamoth, the half-spiritual, half-material LIFE, which vivifies the inert matter in the depths of chaos, is the Holy Ghost of the Gnostics, and the Spiritus, (female), of the Nazarenes. She is – be it remembered – the sister of Christos, the perfect emanation, and both are children or emanations of Sophia, the purely spiritual and intellectual daughter of Bythos, the Depth. For the elder Sophia is Shekinah, the Face of God, “God’s Shekinah, which is his image.” “The Son Zeus-Belus, or Sol-Mithra is an image of the Father, an emanation from the Supreme Light”, says Movers. “He passed for Creator.”
Philosophers say the first air is anima mundi. But the garment, (Shekinah), is higher than the first air, since it is joined closer to the En-Soph, the Boundless.” Thus, Sophia is Shekinah, and Sophia-Achamoth the anima mundi, the astral light of the kabalists, which contains the spiritual and material germs of all that is. For the Sophia-Achamoth, like Eve, of whom she is the prototype, is “the mother of all that live.”
There are three trinities in the Nazarene system as well as in the Hindu philosophy of the ante and early Vedic period. While we see the few translators of the Kabala, the Nazarene Codex, and other abstruse works, hopelessly floundering amid the interminable pantheon of names, unable to agree as to a system in which to classify them, for the one hypothesis contradicts and overturns the other, we can but wonder at all this trouble, which could be so easily overcome. But even now, when the translation, and even the perusal of the ancient Sanscrit has become so easy as a point of comparison, they would never think it possible that every philosophy – whether Semitic, Hamitic, or Turanian, as they call it, has its key in the Hindu sacred works. Still facts are there, and facts are not easily destroyed.
Thus, while we find the Hindu trimurti triply manifested as:
Nara, (or Para-Pouroucha) – Agni, Brahma, the Father.
Nari, (Mariama) – Vaya, Vishnu, the Mother.
Viradj, (Brahma) – Surya, Siva, the Son.
And the Egyptian trinity as follows:
Kneph, (or Amon) – Osiris, Ra (Horus), the Father.
Maut, (or Mut) – Isis, Isis, the Mother.
Khons – Horus, Malouli, the Son.
The Nazarene system runs:
Ferho, (Ish-Amon) – Mano, Abatur, the Father.
Chaos, (dark water) – Spiritus (female), Netubto, the Mother.
Fetahil – Ledhaio, Lord Jordan, the Son.
The first is the concealed or non-manifested trinity – a pure abstraction. The other the active or the one revealed in the results of creation, proceeding out of the former – its spiritual prototype. The third is the mutilated image of both the others, crystalized in the form of human dogmas, which vary according to the exuberance of the national materialistic fancy.”
