certainly one is "born" of a female, *not* of a male. That is the most *potent* oversight of the patriarchs -- & points clearly to the femininity of the Holy Spirit.

There are more pages in the Hebrew scriptures about Sophia than about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Solomon, Isaiah, Sarah, Miriam, Adam, or Noah. But we do not know her. Churches and synagogues insure that children can recite the storeis of Aaron or Joseph, but they never even allude to Sophia. Literature classes in schools and colleges examine the epics of Abraham or Solomon or even the story of Ruth, but Sophia, who stands taller than any of them, is ignored.

Sophia, then, is an eternal Being, which before all creatures, with the Holy Trinity, is eternal, and remains forever in eternity. She is above all the Angels; the eternal wisdom has her root alone in the Godhead itself, and through her Being it reveals itself. Sophia is not a Person outside the Trinity; the spirit of Jesus and the spirit of Sophia are not separate. The eternal Sophia urges men through being reborn to return to completeness in Paradise, to which she will lead them. Sophia leads man back to the wholeness of Paradise. As Wisdom consubtantials with Christ, Sophia is the breath of the spirit within the Scriptures; and we come into contact with her only after we have undergone metanoia. No one is permitted to make the error through reasoning that another were to have written the testimonies found in Scriptures. Since above, one must remember, the spirit of Wisdom and the spirit of Jesus are essentially one, so one comes to one by what was said by the other; and no one may try to separate them. But one ought not to rely only on the letter of the Scripture, for "Wisdom ought not be sought only in letter; and hence not only in written works, without effective struggle and prayer in oneself. One ought not gape after things outside oneself, but rather look toward the inward ground, for there she is first glimpsed, where the will is descended and sunken in her. This looking within brings about the metanoia, or inward regeneration

Pentecost is second only to Calvary in importance to the Christian, for Pentecost is the complement of Calvary. Without Pentecost, Calvary would have been ineffective to redeem lost mankind. It required the dynamic of the Spirit as well as the sacrifice of the Saviour to bring the benefits of salvation to a waiting world, for all Christian experience revolves around the twin centres of Calvary and Pentecost. Calvary opened the fountain from which all the blessings of Pentecost flowed. Pentecost made available to men all that Calvary made possible.

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Unto you, 0 men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, ... and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. ... I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. ... When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men... Now therefore hearken unto me, 0 ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways... For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
