Sophia
One feminine force, countless emanations; Sophia – the giver of wisdom in so many forms. She is both Mary Magdalene as the earthly companion of the Christ in Christian Gnosticism and Mother Mary in her ascendant form as the all mother of compassion. She is Shakti in Sanskrit, the prevalent Hindu embodiment of feminine wisdom, and the personal and collective linking soul as atman, realised in the transcendental state of Samadhi. She is the kind-hearted Boddhisatva in Buddhism, returning to light the way to nirvana; personified by the deity Quan-yin. In Jungian psychology, she is termed as the merging power, individuation, of both the feminine and masculine archetypes, and of the lower self of the psyche with the higher spiritual self (Gnosis).
