Abraxas의 알려진 역사와 알려지지 않은 역사

Even though there are primary documents available, such as those included in the 나그 함 마디 texts, Abrasax's true identity is still a mystery. For instance, the Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit describes Abrasax as an aeon who resides in the light of the luminary Eleleth with Sophia and other aeons of the Pleroma Dukias together with other aeons from the Pleroma Dukias. According to a number of different texts, the luminary Eleleth is the last of the Spiritual Lights to progress, and it is the aeon Sophia, who is associated with Eleleth, who comes into contact with the darkness and becomes involved in the chain of events that leads to the rule of this world by the 조물주, as well as the rescue effort that is involved. As a result, the function of the Aeons of Eleleth, which includes Abrasax, Sophia, and others, refers to the outer frontier of the Pleroma. This is the part of the Pleroma that meets the ignorance of the world and interacts to remedy the error of ignorance in the world of materiality.

Abraxas was a word with mystical importance in the doctrine of the Gnostic basilides, where it was applied to the "Great Archon," the princeps of the 365 spheres. Abraxas was represented by the letter A. In addition to being in the Greek Magical Papyrus, the term can be found in Gnostic literature such as "The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit." This piece of jewelry was fashioned from ancient jewels known as Abraxas stones, which were worn as amulets or carried as talismans. As "Abrasax"  was the original script, the "Abraxas" script appears to have originated from a mistake between the Greek letters sigma and xi in the Latin transcription of the name.

In the stories of the teachings of Basilides, ancient Gnostic literature, magical traditions of the Greco-Roman world, and modern esoteric and magical publications, there are similarities and variations amongst the figures who are discussed. Abraxas, who in recent centuries has been considered both an 이집트 신 and a demon, is the subject of a wide variety of theories and interpretations. In his Gnostic treatise titled The Seven Sermons of the Dead, which was written in 1916 by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, Abraxas was described as the highest power that transcended both God and the Devil and united all opposites into a single entity.

"the Unbegotten Father" is the progenitor of Nous, and of Nous Logos, and of Logos Phronesis, and of Phronesis Sophia and Dynamis, and of the principalities Sophia and Dynamis, power, and angels, the latter of which are those who create "the first heaven" in the system described by Irenaeus of Lyons. They, in turn, give birth to a second series, which ultimately results in the creation of a second heaven. The process continues in the same manner until all 365 heavens have been created, at which point the angels of the final heaven, also known as the visible heaven, become the creators of our planet. Abraxas is described as "the ruler" (principem, which likely refers to ton archonta) of all 365 heavens, and as such, he is said to have all 365 numbers within himself.

The name is cited in Hippolytus of Rome's Refutation of All Heresies (Chapter VII, Line 26), and Hippolytus of Rome appears to have followed the Exegetics of Basilides in these chapters. After describing the manifestation of the Gospels in the Ogdoad and Hebdomad, he adds that the Basilidians have a long description of the innumerable creations and powers in various "phases" of the upper world (Diastemata). In this description, they speak of 365 heavens, and they say that " his great archon" is Abrasax, because his name contains the number 365, which is the number of days in the year;

Α = 1, Β = 2, Ρ = 100, Α = 1, Σ = 200, Α = 1, Ξ = 60


Infernal Dictionary에 따르면 그는 아시아 신학의 신이며 abracadabra phylactery라는 이름은 그의 이름에서 파생되었습니다. 부적에, Abraxas is depicted as having the head of a rooster, the feet of a dragon, and holding a whip in his hand. Demonologists imagine him to be a demonic creature with the body of a serpent and the head of a king. Basilidians, who were considered heretics throughout the 12th century, held the belief that he was their ultimate god. When it was discovered that the seven Greek letters that make up his name add up to the number 365 in Greek, which is the number of days in a year, those responsible for creating his name assigned brilliant individuals to positions of authority over each of the 365 heavens, designating one for each day of the year. Even further, the Basilidians went so far as to assert that Jesus Christ was nothing more than a spirit that had been directed toward the tower of Abraxas. They moved away from the theology that had been set forth by their leader.

It would appear that Epiphanius of Salamis, in his work titled "적대자 에레스," follows Irenaeus on the one hand and the lost Compendium of Hippolytus on the other. He identifies Abraxas more specifically as "the power over all, the first principle," "the cause and first archetype" of everything, and he mentions that the Basilidians referred to 365 as the number of parts (mele) in the human body as well as all of the days of the year. Abraxas is designated by him as "the power over all, the first principle," "the cause and first archetype" of everything.

또한 Hippolytus의 개요를 따르는 Tertullian의 부록 De praescriptione haereticorum(c. 4)의 저자는 약간의 정확성을 추가합니다. "Abraxas"는 Irenaeus와 Epiphanius가 열거한 일련의 주요 능력 중 첫 번째인 Mind(nous)를 낳았습니다. 세계와 모든 365개의 하늘이 "Abraxas"를 기리기 위해 창조되었다는 것; 그리고 그리스도는 창조주에 의해 보내진 것이 아니라

There is nothing that can be learned from the oblique references made by Jerome of Stridon, according to whom "Abraxas"수단"the greatest god" (De viris illustribus, ill. 21), "the greatest god" (Dialogue against the Luciferians, 23), "the mighty god" (Comm. in Amos iii. 9), and "The Lord the Creator" in the language of the Basilidians (De viris illus (Comm. in Nah. i. 11). The comments made by Theodoret (in Haer. fab. i. 4), Augustine (in Haer. 4), and 'Praedestinatus' (in i. 3) do not have any value on their own.

Because this position is not expressly stated, the author of the supplement to Tertullian has an excuse to confuse Abrasax with "the Supreme God." It is evident from these details that Abrasax was the name of the first of the 365 archons, and that he therefore ranked under Sophia and Dynamis and their progenitors. weight However, this position is not explicitly stated.
