Though most Christians will be loathe to accept it, it is in accordance with true Gnostic precepts to identify this so-called
Holy Spirit, (the third spiritual essence and principle within the sacred Trinity) as our own Selfhood.
The Holy Spirit idea, which may be traced back to the feminine Sophia of the Egyptians, Brahmans, Gnostics and
Orphites, etc., was referred to as "Wisdom," and was equated with Knowledge.
This knowledge may extend to the Son of God, and then to God himself, but it must first begin with Self-Knowledge.
This
is literally what Sophia of the Trinity is - Knowledge of the Self. The conspiring forces
which sought to make this Self-Knowledge
taboo, and who distorted and complicated our
understanding and veneration of the true Holy Spirit, were attempting to blot
out the Self
from the Holy Trinity and from the spiritual canon.
To imagine the Holy Spirit to be some
vague presence, or to imagine it to be some indefinable aspect of the
Virgin Mary, a white
ethereal dove, an abstract metaphysical principle, or an inexplicable mystery, suited the
desires
of the (politics) time, but it denied their flock their most valuable key to the gates of salvation.
What we were not told is that without the key of Knowledge of the Self,the others keys, should they even come
into our possession, are worthless.
Many stand outside at the door, but it is only the solitaries who
will enter into the bridal chamber - Jesus

Symbolically speaking, we find it more than suggestive that the dove was chosen to represent the third party
of the Blessed Trinity, for it is not a Christian emblem. It is a very ancient pagan symbol.
The origin of the mystical symbolism of the dove comes from astrology, and from the
gnosis of the ancient Stellar
Cults. The dove is, in fact, the symbol for the sign of Scorpio,
which is one of the two major signs of the zodiac connected
to the Spirit of Rebellion.
So, we find it more than significant that the symbol chosen to represent the Higher Self - the true Holy Spirit
- should relate directly and undeniably to the spirit, and act, of REBELLION, and to the Spirit of Contradiction.
Ergo, we find it more than significant that the Bible should proclaim it to be the direst and most irredeemable
of sins to contradict or violate the will of this Holy Spirit.
We can learn to rely upon the great Spirit
of Rebellion physically, and socially, and we
can also learn to rely upon it mentally. We need to become accustomed, even
acclimatized, to the Spirit of Rebellion, because it is already moving in the world, and will soon make itself vividly apparent.
When the Dove descends into our world, it will,
however, don a quite different garb, a different persona than the
one we may be familiar with. The Dove is Scorpio, and it channels the energy of Pluto. In psychological terms,Pluto is the Shadow,(Jung), natures psychic surgeon, her organic
hygienist that appears to cleanse the soul of all its toxicity, and repressed debris, so that it may be chastened and virginal
enough to perhaps receive the clear elixir of truth.
