Nous (Mind)
(This is the primary connection of the Pneuma with the Psyche. This is the Spirit reaching into the Soul. This is also referred to as the Higher Intellect)

(This is the where most “work” is done. This includes the Soma, the Inferior Veil, the Ego – Consciousness, the personal unconscious, the collective unconscious, the superior veil and into, but the whole of the Pneuma)}

(This is comprised of complexes. This is the realm of the archons – or once redeemed, the lower aions.)

In the vocabulary list, there is no differentiation between the Pneuma and the Spirit. Are we to use Pneuma in the Stoic sense, which seems to be akin to Sanskrit prana or Chinese qi? Is this definition of Pneuma then equal to God as Essential?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant the vocabulary printout that you gave me. I just read the jargon section of the blog and it fleshed the terms out in greater detail. "As above, so below" certainly seems to hold here. Just as the Autogenes results from the union of Father and Mother, so too is our individual Spirit formed from the union of our human father and mother.
ReplyDeleteSomething like that.... ;0)
ReplyDeleteJust remember, any mythical speculation about God is just that, speculation. Any concrete definition of God is inherently idolatrous. So, we can say "as above, so bellow," as long as we keep in mind that certainty is not necessary.
