The Dogma of Feminine Salvation
By Fabre Des Essarts
I don’t have the intention here of giving a full exposé of the Doctrines (of the Gnostic Church).
These doctrines were presented in a series of articles in La Voie. But there is one dogma on which I would like to insist.
It is the dogma of feminine salvation. The work of the Father has been completed, that of the Son as well. Remaining is that of the Spirit which alone can determine the definitive salvation of terrestrial Humanity and prepare the Reconstitution of the Adam-Kadmon.
The Spirit, or the Paraclete, as the Cathars named it, corresponds to that which is feminine in the Divinity and our Teachings specify that it is the only face of God which is truly accessible to our reason. The Hebrew language identifies the Spirit as Ruach, which is of a feminine gender. On this I call upon the linguistic expertise of our dear President (i.e., Papus).
What exactly will be the nature of this new and next messiah? Will it be a woman from the elite with the specific mission of working this salvation? Or will it be a group of divine women?
I couldn’t say, but what I do know, and affirm strongly, is that it is by the eternal feminine that the world will be saved.
