Culdee History
Beginning
The One, who is The Beginning, and who transcends all that is said to be
and not be, and who transcends all categories, in the aeon before
aeons, at the birth of aeons, sang its song.
The song of the One was the Wisdom of the One which is the Logos. The
Logos is the One, but in the creative mode of giving warp and weave
to all that is said to exist, and even to that which is called
super-existent.
When the One sang the Logos, the Logos with the swiftness of omniscient
thought manifested throughout its boundless Self, and with that
song of manifestation came being.
The Logos manifested three worlds. The city of the celestial hierarchy,
a city of those who in old times were called the immortal gods,
illustrious heroes, and the terrestrial daemons, but in Christian
times are called the three spheres of the nine choirs of angels.
The
Logos manifested the world of transmigration, or becoming,
wherein live mortal men, and also the kingdom ruled by Hades.
The Logos also manifested human beings.
Human beings, those immature creatures who through the course of time
may have the ability to traverse all the worlds.
Human beings were consigned to the world of transmigration and Hades until
they matured enough to join their family in the celestial realm.
Among those beings who were manifested by the Logos was one whose shining
beauty was such that others among the angelic hierarchy were
distracted in their song of the One, and granted this creature of
beauty authority over themselves. This being is called Lucifer,
Satan, Iblis, Mara.
He was commander of all the legions of angels
and was situated in the highest place of the “belfry,” or watch
tower of the celestial realm.
This creature looked at himself and thought that there was no other
creature in the three realms possessing such beauty, and like that
authority that those others had given him, he should have authority
over all in the realms.
