Note 363 — Chapter III · THE ORIGIN OF GNOSTICISM
Reading edition
In the Pistis Sophia (for which see Chapter X, infra) the soul of a sinless man who has not found the mysteries has to wait until the planets Jupiter and Venus come into a certain aspect with the sun, “Saturn and Mars being behind them.” It is then reincarnated and wins for itself life eternal, pp. 387, 389 (Copt.).
