When the Moon, then, has handed over the freight of Souls to the Aeons of the Father, they remain there in the Column of Glory which is called the ‘Perfect Man’; it is a pillar of light because loaded with the Souls that are being purified. Now the Moon first receives the radiant Souls from Matter, and then deposits them in the Light, and it does this continuously; this is the way in which the Souls are saved. So the Sun began to purify the Light which was mixed with the demons of Heat, and the Moon began to purify the Light mixed with the demons of Cold; that Light rises up in the ‘Column of Praise’ with the hymns and worships, the good deeds and kind works which are sent up.

Глава 7. Работа луны и солнца

Солнце и луна - это корабли, на которых души умирающих плывут от материи к свету, и они всегда отделяют божественную силу от материи, сопровождая ее к Богу. Луна пропитывается силой, как воском, в надлежащее время; затем она вызывает свое собственное уменьшение, разгружает груз души и посылает ее к солнцу, и так возвращает ее к Богу. И, сделав это, она вновь получает переселяющиеся к ней души от следующей полной луны, и автоматически передает их Богу. И паром наполняется и вновь разгружается, а души выстраиваются ведрами космической машины, пока не будет спасена ее собственная часть души.

Когда же луна передала груз с душами эонам Отца, они остаются там в Колонне Славы, которая также называется “Совершенный Человек”; это столб света, потому что он заполнен очищаемыми душами. Итак, луна вначале получает сияющие души от материи и затем помещает их в свет, и делает это непрерывно; именно так и спасаются души. И так солнце начало очищать свет, который был смешан с демонами жары, и луна начала очищать свет, который смешан с демонами холода; этот свет поднимается в Колонне Хвалы с гимнами и поклонениями, посылая впереди себя добрые дела и свою работу.

Chapter 8. The Maiden of the Light

The Living Spirit made the Wheels – the Wind, the Water and the Fire; and he went down and formed them below near the Supporter. Then the King of Glory evoked and raised over them a covering, so that they might ascend over these Rulers confined in the earths and be of use to the five Bright Gods, lest they be burned by the Rulers’ venom.

Now when the Envoy came towards these Ships, he ordered the Three Servants of Manbed to make the Ships move; he bade the Great Builder construct the New Earth, and the Three Wheels to go up. Now when the Ships rose and came to the center of the sky, when the Envoy showed his male and female forms and was seen by the Rulers, Sons of Darkness, male and female, who were in the firmament. A certain Virgin, fair, bedecked and very alluring, appeared to the males as a comely female, and to the females as a handsome and attractive youth, and in the Sun was seen an Image somewhat in the likeness of a Man. Now at the sight of the Envoy, who was lovely in his forms, all the Rulers were filled with desire for him – the males for the shape of the female and the females for the masculine shape. In their desire they began to emit that Light which they had swallowed from the five Bright Gods.

Thereupon that Sin which, like the hair in the dough, was shut up in them mingled with the Light which came out of the Rulers. Then the Envoy hid his forms; he parted the Light of the five Bright Gods from the Sin which was with them, and it fell upon the Rulers from whom it had dropped; but just like a man disgusted at his own vomit they did not accept it.

Then it fell on the earth, half of it on the Wet and half of it on the Dry; now that which fell on the Dry sprang up in five Trees – from that are grown plants, trees and grain, while that on the Wet became a horrible monster in the likeness of the King of Darkness. The Diamond of Light was sent against her; he fought with her, defeated her, turned her on her back, struck her in her heart with a Spear, thrust his Shield on her mouth, and placed one of his feet on her thighs and the other on her breast.
