Refimprove date March 2011 The Exegesis on the Soul is one of the ancient texts found at Nag Hammadi , in Nag Hammadi Codex II Codex II . Its purpose is to teach that the soul is a woman which fell from perfection into prostitution, and that the Father will elevate her again to her original perfect state. ref cite web url http www.gnosis.org naghamm exe.html title The Nag Hammadi Library The Exegesis on the Soul publisher HarperCollins date accessdate 2011 03 05 ref According to Irenaeus , this teaching was a foundational pillar of the doctrine of Simon Magus , which Simon viewed as so important that he actually married a prostitute and elevated her in society in order to demonstrate the point. Hence, it is possible that the text was written by the Simonian school of Gnostics . The text quotes copiously from the Old Testament prophets, from the New Testament gospels, and from the epistles of Paul. Curiously, the text also quotes from Homer s Odyssey . These quotes indicate that the author viewed Greek legend and mythology as a type of scripture, just as the author also viewed large portions of the Old and New Testaments as scripture. The author and date are not certain, but must be sometime between the 1st century and the 4th century CE. Or date March 2011 Although it is silent concerning the typical Gnostic cosmology, its placement in the same codex with such texts as the Apocryphon of John , Hypostasis of the Archons , and On the Origin of the World indicate that it may well have been produced by a school which accepted Gnostic cosmology. In this context, the female personification of the soul resembles the passion of Sophia, which is a theme pervasively found in Gnostic cosmology. Also, the text s placement toward the back of the codex may indicate that it was written later and or was of relatively lesser importance than the other texts in the codex.

Kabbalah Jewish mysticism mystical exegesis is a method interpreting the Bible based on the assumption that the Torah itself contains secret knowledge regarding creation and the essence of God. The only way to find these secrets is to know how to decode the text and reveal them. The method most likely dates back to the third century. Focusing on the holiness of the text, mysticism mystic s consider every nuance of the text to be a clue in discovering divine secrets, from the entire text to the accents on each letter. Once one can find such knowledge, one can use the text in mystical rituals to affect both the upper worlds heavens and the lower world our world . The name of God is considered one of the greatest sources of power and is assumed to be hidden in various forms throughout the text. Much work has been done to try to rearrange the breaks between words to seek out different names for God as well as other aspects of hidden knowledge. There are two main texts within the realm of Jewish mysticism the Sefer Yezirah and the Kabbalah kabbalistic Zohar . Sefer Yetzirah main Sefer Yetzirah Sefer Yetzirah Hebrew language Hebrew , S pher Y r h Book of Formation, or Book of Creation, is the title of the earliest extant book on Jew ish esotericism . Yetzirah is more literally translated as Formation the word Briah is used for Creation . ref In Hebrew, Yetzirah can mean either creation or formation, but can also refer to the created or formed object itself. A work of art, for example, is called in Hebrew yetzira , as well as the action of creating it. Thus, the name Sefer Yetzirah could refer to the act of creating or forming the cosmos, or to the cosmos itself, or both. Since there is a specific Hebrew word for the creation of the cosmos briah it is more likely that the meaning refers to formation, or formed object, or both. ref Zohar main Zohar The Zohar was originally ...
