Chaos comes from a shadow that has been called darkness. The shadow comes from something existing from the begining. Sophia flowed out of Pistis. With the wish that something should come into being like the light that first existed. Immediately her wish appeared as a heavenly likeness with an incomprehensible greatness. Pistis came and appeared over the matter of chaos. Which was cast off like an aborted fetus. Since there was no spirit in it. When Pistis saw what came into being from her defiancy. She was disturbed. The disturbance appeared as something frightful and it fled to her in chaos. She turned to it and breathed into its face in the abyss. Whuch is beneath the heavens. Pistis Sophia wanted to cause the thing that had no spirit to be formed into a likeness and rule over matter and over all its powers. A ruler first appeared out of the out of the waters. Like a lion like in the appearance and serpentous. With great authority within himself but ignorant of once he came into being. When Pistis Sophia saw him moving in the depth of the waters. She said to him. Youth pass over here. Which is interpreted as Yaldabaoth. Yaldabaoth is ignoramt of the power of Pistis. He did not see her face. But he saw in the water the likeness that spoke with him and from that voice he called himself Yaldabaoth. But some called him Arial because he was like a lion and after he came to possess authority over matter. Pistis Sophia withdrew up to her light. When the ruler saw his greatness. He saw only himself. He saw nothing else. Except water and darkness. His thought was made complete by means of the word and it appeared as a spirit moving to and fro over the waters and when it appeared. The ruler seperated the water substance to one region and the dry substance to another region. From matter he creared a dwelling place for himself and called it heaven and from matter the ruler created a footstool and called it earth.
