name of the spirit, I demand that you leave
our presence."
A whirlwind of light cascaded about
him as the formless image began to become
visible. Appearing in a white hooded robe, it
was... no, could it be? The Angel of
Ascension! Joseph felt calm now, knowing
his life-force was no longer in jeopardy from
the dark one.
"'It is I,' he said, 'who am understanding. I
am one of the four light-givers, who stand in
the presence of the great invisible spirit. Do
you think these rulers have any power over
you? None of them can prevail against the
root of truth.'"
The Nag Hammadi Library, The Hypostasis of
Archons, Page 167, Paragraph 3, (Christianity,
Gnostic/Essene)
Celebrations ensued in the colorful
place where Joseph had been taken. Swirls
of colors tore across the sky in a rainbow of
energy. Before him stood someone he'd
known, but couldn't place in his mind. "I
cannot remember your name, old friend."
Joseph bowed his head in shame. "Your
memory of me is not of this life, but
another," his friend replied, "you'll
remember me as Daniel... Daniel Pierce."
