JESUS the EAGLE
"And our sister Sophia is she who came down in innocence in order to rectify her deficiency. Therefore she was called Life, which is the mother of the living, by the foreknowledge of the sovereignty of heaven. And through her they have tasted the perfect Knowledge. I appeared in the form of an eagle on the tree of knowledge, which is the Epinoia from the foreknowledge of the pure light, that I might teach and awaken them out of the depth of sleep. For they were both in a fallen state and they recognized their nakedness. The Epinoia appeared to them as a light and she awakened their thinking."
I am suggesting the Eagle's enamations are apparent in the gnostic scriptures. Jesus is the Eagle present on the tree of knowledge!
You could very well be right. The parallels are many.
The Eagle is the source of the "Emanations" of which ALL worlds are made. The Tree of Life has ten "Sephiroth", also called "Emanations" of which all is made.
The tree is also called Jacob's ladder or ladder of lights. In Jacob's vision his lord is at the top of that ladder.
Jesus is referred to as the Tree of life in Revelations.
Jesus refers to himself as such in the first chapter of John's gospel
Ex 19:4
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Isa 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Don Juan said there was no Eagle, as such but that that was just the way it appeared.
This, I believe, is one of those things that once a person sees it they would know why the Eagle was chosen as a word to represesnt it. Thanks Bob May for all this unending imput.
Why do you believe the Eagle was chosen as the word?
