Wooing the Whore of Wisdom (1)
Considerations on Reconstruction of the Sophia Myth
Considerations on Reconstruction of the Sophia Myth
I have probably read the entire Nag Hammadi Library at least twenty times. Not until the sixth or seventh reading did I begin—just begin—to develop a consisteLust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Proverbs 6:25The Jewish author of Proverbs warns against the temptation of whorish women, but to the mystic inspired by the story of Sophia no beauty excels that displayed by the Whore of Wisdom, and once seen, she is irresistable. To lust for her beauty and be taken upon her eyelids is rapture without compare. Loving Gaia is the highest calling of the human species. Such is my persuasion.
