7. “John, one there needs must be to hear those things, from Me; for I long for one who will hear.8. “This Cross of Light is called by Me for your sakes sometimes Word (Logos), sometimes Mind, sometimes Jesus, sometimes Christ, sometimes Door, sometimes Way, sometimes Bread, sometimes Seed, sometimes Resurrection, sometimes Son, sometimes Father, sometimes Spirit, sometimes Life, sometimes Truth, sometimes Faith, sometimes Grace.9. “Now those things [it is called] as towards men; but as to what it is in truth, itself in its own meaning to itself, and declared unto Us, [it is] the defining (or delimitation) of all things, both the firm necessity of things fixed from things unstable, and the ‘harmony’ of Wisdom.10. “And as it is Wisdom in ‘harmony,’ there are those on the Right and those on the Left—powers, authorities, principalities, and dæmons, energies, threats, powers of wrath, slanderings—and the Lower Root from which hath come forth the things in genesis.
Autorenporträt
George Robert Stowe Mead, commonly known as G. R. S. Mead (1863–1933), was a pioneering scholar known for his extensive work on Gnosticism and the Hermetic tradition. An eminent figure in the field of Western esotericism, Mead's contributions particularly shone in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as he sought to unravel the complex tapestry of early Christian thought and its intermingling with Greek philosophy. A Cambridge University graduate and a member of the Theosophical Society, he served as the editor of the society's journal 'The Theosophical Review' and was a close collaborator of the society's leader, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Mead is best remembered for his scholarly approach to esoteric texts, his translations of Gnostic works, and his effort to make such literature accessible to the English-speaking public. His written legacy includes the seminal work, 'The Gnostic Crucifixion' (1907), which delves into the symbolism and deeper meanings behind the Christian narrative of the crucifixion from a Gnostic perspective. Mead's interpretative lens was unique for its sympathetic yet critical reading of ancient texts, and his literary style reflects a careful balance between academic rigor and an attempt to reach a wider audience. His writings continue to be referenced in scholarly discussions on Gnosticism and remain influential to contemporary studies of ancient religions and Western esoteric traditions.
