Search for the New Isis, the Divine Sophia: The Quest for the Isis-Sophia

At the time when the Mystery of Golgotha took place, that which enables man to look into the world of knowledge worked in a twofold way as the divine Sophia, as the wisdom that sees through the world. Through the revelation to the poor shepherds in the field, through the revelation to the Magi from the Orient, the divine Sophia, the heavenly wisdom, was at work. This wisdom, which in its final form was present with the Gnostics, from whom the first Christian church fathers and doctors of the church took it in order to comprehend the Mystery of Golgotha, this wisdom could not be transplanted into more recent times; it has been overwhelmed, it has been killed by Lucifer, as once Osiris was killed by Ahriman-Typhon. It is not Osiris or Christ that we have lost, but that which we have in the place of Isis. Lucifer has killed her for us. And while Typhon lowered Osiris into the Nile and sunk into the earth that which had been killed, the Isis being, divine wisdom, has been killed by Lucifer and transferred out into the cosmic spaces; it has been sunk into the cosmic ocean. As we gaze out into this ocean and see only mathematical lines in the starry connections, that which permeates this world spiritually is buried in them, the divine Sophia is dead, the successor of Isis is dead.
