The cosmic ascent through the four luminaries

1First we came to the place which is the dwelling place of the airy earth, where the air is gathered. And there I saw the divine waters and the soul that has come from above; and I was baptized in the holy water that is there. I received a Name. And those who were there received me, who were the ones who had received the holy Spirit.

2Then we came to the place of the Self-Generated. There I saw the Adamas, the Father of the holy generation. And his perfect Son was there, the great Seth.

3I was given a name; and I knew that the four luminaries — Harmozel, Oroiael, Daveithai, and Eleleth — are around the throne of the great invisible Spirit. The first luminary was the dwelling of Geradama; the second, of the great Seth; the third, of the seed of Seth; the fourth, of the souls who repent late.

4Each I went up to in turn. And I baptized myself, ascending through them, and I received a name in each. The names that I received are the names of incorruptibility — the names of Yesseus Mazareus Yessedekeus, the living water, and the holy seed.

5And we passed up. And I came to the Aeon of Barbelo, the perfect Mother, the Mother of the Father, the Mother of the All. She is the womb of all the aeons, and the form of those that exist; she is the female-male Spirit, the original Aeon. There I saw the threefold Power — the unbegotten, the begotten, the born. There I saw the great invisible Spirit. There I saw the One who is.
