Chapter
XVII.—Achamoth in Love with the Angels. A Protest Against the
Lascivious Features of Valentinianism. Achamoth Becomes the Mother of
Three Natures.
Then Achamoth, delivered at length from all her
evils, wonderful to tell6796
goes on and
bears fruit with greater
results. For warmed with the joy of so great an escape from her
unhappy condition, and at the same time heated with the actual
contemplation of the angelic luminaries (one is ashamed) to use such
language, (but there is no other way of expressing one’s
meaning), she during the emotion somehow became personally inflamed
with desire6797
towards them, and
at once grew pregnant with a spiritual conception, at the very image of
which the violence of her joyous transport, and the delight of her
prurient excitement had imbibed and impressed upon her. She at length
gave birth to an offspring, and then there arose a leash of
natures,6798
from a triad of
causes,—one material, arising from her passion; another animal,
arising from her conversion; the third spiritual, which had its origin
in her imagination.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
