Despise not the gift of knowledge; and make not spiritual eunuchs of yourselves.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
Ye are twain, the man with the woman, and she with him, neither man nor woman, but one creature.
And the kingdom of God is within you[49].
The knowledge of the "Seven Spirits" whereby Deity operates in the universe, has been completely dropped out of sight by the Christian world. It is necessary, therefore, if only in vindication of the importance attached to them by our illuminators, to recite the instruction received by us concerning them, which is as follows. It is a chapter from the recovered Gnosis[50]:—
"In the bosom of the Eternal were all the Gods comprehended, as the seven spirits of the prism, contained in the Invisible Light.
By the Word of Elohim were the Seven Elohim manifest: even the Seven Spirits of God in the order of their precedence:
The Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, the Spirit of Power, the Spirit of Knowledge, the Spirit of Righteousness, and the Spirit of Divine Awfulness.
All these are coequal and coeternal.
