Those who did not have gnosis were believed to be subject to judgement and punishment by the Craftsman (demiurge) and his associates in the "Middle" (Gospel of Philip 66:7-20). In contrast, the spiritual person who has gnosis rises up in a spiritual body and leaves the material realm behind. Then they begin the ascent through the seven levels of the psychic (soul) realm. Armed with gnosis of their origin, they are able to ascend beyond the powers of soul (the Demiurge and his associates) and into the spiritual realm in the eighth heaven. In the Eighth heaven, they celebrate the "wedding feast common to all the saved until all become equal and mutually recognize one another" (Excerpts of Theodotus 63:1 cf. Revelation 19:7-9, see also Irenaeus Against Heresies 1:7:1, 1:2:6). They are the spiritual Church (cf. Ex Theo 17:1) which is destined to be joined to Christ in the "bridal chamber". At the end of the world, the spirits then enter the Fullness (pleroma) along with Sophia, their mother. Sophia is joined to her bridegroom, the Savior. Likewise, the spirits are joined to their angelic counterparts (Irenaeus Against Heresies 1:7:1, Excerpts of Theodotus 64:1, Valentinian Exposition 39:28-33, Gospel of Philip 81:34-82:25). They all "attain to the vision of the Father and become intellectual Aeons, entering into the intelligible and eternal union in marriage" (Excerpts of Theodotus 64:1). The entire Fullness is the "bridal chamber" for their union (Irenaeus Against Heresies 1:7:1, Excerpts of Theodotus 64:1). Then the "fire which is hidden in the world will blaze up and ignite and destroy all matter and consume itself at the same time and pass into nothingness" (Irenaeus Against Heresies 1:7:1). The physical world will cease to exist. The deficiency will then have been eliminated and the process of restoration will be complete. On the surface, this myth seems to deal with what happens after death and what happens at the end of the world. As we shall see, this is not strictly the case. |
