The Gnostic Ophites taught the doctrine of Emanations, so hateful to the defenders of the unity in the trinity, and _vice versa_. The Unknown Deity with them had _no name_; but his first female emanation was called Bythos or Depth.[290] It answered to the Shekinah of the kabalists, the “Veil” which conceals the “Wisdom” in the _cranium_ of the highest of the _three_ heads. As the Pythagorean Monad, this _nameless_ Wisdom was the _Source_ of Light, and _Ennoia_ or Mind, is Light itself. The latter was also called the “Primitive Man,” like the Adam Kadmon, or ancient Adam of the _Kabala_. Indeed, if man was created after his likeness and in the image of God, then this God was like his creature in shape and figure--hence, he is the “Primitive man.” The first Manu, the one evolved from Swayambhuva, “he who exists unrevealed in his own glory,” is also, in one sense, the primitive man, with the Hindus. Thus the “nameless and the unrevealed,” Bythos, his female reflection, and Ennoia, the revealed Mind proceeding from both, or their Son are the counterparts of the Chaldean first triad as well as those of the Brahmanic Trimurti. We will compare: in all the three systems we see THE GREAT FIRST CAUSE as the ONE, the primordial germ, the unrevealed and grand ALL, existing through himself. In the INDIAN PANTHEON. Brahma-Zyaus. THE CHALDEAN. Ilu, Kabalistic En-Soph. IN THE OPHITE. The Nameless, or Secret Name. Whenever the Eternal awakes from its slumber and desires to manifest itself, it divides itself into male and female. It then becomes in every system THE DOUBLE-SEXED DEITY, The universal Father and Mother. IN INDIA. Brahma. Nara (male), Nari (female). IN CHALDEA. Eikon or En-Soph. Anu (male), Anata (female). IN THE OPHITE SYSTEM. Nameless Spirit. Abrasax (male), Bythos (female). From the union of the two emanates a third, or creative Principle--the SON, or the manifested Logos, the product of the Divine Mind. IN INDIA. Viradj, the Son. IN CHALDEA. Bel, the Son. OPHITE SYSTEM. Ophis (another name for Ennoia), the Son. Moreover, each of these systems has a triple male trinity, each proceeding separately through itself from one female Deity. So, for instance: IN INDIA. The Trinity--Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, are blended into ONE, who is _Brahmä_, (neuter gender), creating and being created through the Virgin Nari (the mother of perpetual fecundity).
