Conclusion: The Crowned Zostrianos Descends and Awakens the Straying Ones

Regarding myself, I grew bold, even saying: “I wonder [still] about the triple- powered perfect Unseen Spirit.
How does it self-exist, [even as the cause] of all of them [and of] those who exist truly?
[...] what is [that one’s place], and [what kind is it?”
And having] said [these things, I was] greatly [glorified].
And they set [me] down, and (then) departed.
Apophantes and Aphropais the virgin-light approached in front of me and escorted me to Protophanes, the great male Perfect Mind.
There I saw all of them, how they abide in oneness.
I commingled with all of them and blessed the aeon Kalyptos, the virginal Barbelo, and the Unseen Spirit.
I became all-perfect and was strengthened.
I was inscribed in glory and sealed.
There I obtained a perfect crown.
I went out to the perfect individuals.
All of them inquired of me, listening to the majesty of the knowledge, rejoicing and obtaining strength.
When I once more descended to the self-generated aeons, I obtained an authentic image, pure, deserving of insight.
I descended to the aeonic simulacra, and descended from there to the atmosphere of the [earth].
I inscribed three wooden tablets and left them behind for knowledge to those who would come after me, the living elect ones.
Then I descended to the sensorial world and donned my image.
Because it was untaught, I strengthened it and went around proclaiming the truth to everyone.
Neither the world’s angelic beings nor its archons saw me, because I canceled a host of [disgraces] that almost killed me.
But I awakened a host of straying ones by saying: “Understand, you living ones, the sacred seed of Seth!
Do not disobey me.
[Awaken] as divine your divine element, and strengthen your sinless elect soul.
Take notice of the passing away of this world, and search for the unchangeable nature of what is ungenerated.
The [Father] of all of these bids you come while he awaits you.
And even when you are treated badly, he will not forsake you.
Do not baptize yourselves with death, nor deliver yourselves to things that are inferior to you as though they were things superior to you.
Run from the insanity and the slavery of what is feminine, and choose for yourselves the salvation of what is masculine.⁠a
You are not here to suffer.
Instead, you are here to escape your slavery.
Free yourselves, and what has fettered you will be canceled.
Save yourselves, so that someone (else) might be saved.
The compassionate Father has sent to you the Savior and strengthened you.
Why are you hesitating?
Seek when you are sought for.
Pay head when you are bidden, because the time is short.
Do not be led astray, (because) great is the aeon of the aeons of the living ones, and the [judgment] for those who are undecided.
Many fetters and chastisers surround you.
Run away quickly before ruin reaches you.
Behold the light!
Flee the darkness!
May you not be led astray to ruin.” Zostrianos Words of Truth of Zostrianos. God of Truth. Words of Zoroaster
