The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit, also known as the Coptic Gospel of the Egyptians,[1][2] is a Sethian Gnostic text found in Codices III and IV of the Nag Hammadi library.
The text describes the origin of three powers: the Father, the Mother, and the Son, who came forth from the great invisible Spirit.
It concludes with a prayer and a statement that it was written by the great Seth and placed in the mountain Charaxio to be revealed at the end of times.
The text describes the creation of the divine Autogenes and the incorruptible man Adamas through the power of the great Logos.
The Father approves and the perfect hebdomad is completed, with the four great lights Harmozel, Oroiael, Davithe, Eleleth, and the ministers Gamaliel, Gabriel, Samlo, and Abrasax, who bring forth Memory, Love, Peace, and eternal Life.
The world is created by the great light Eleleth and a cloud named hylic Sophia appears.
It will face challenges such as flooding, famine,[3] plagues, and false prophets, but grace will be with those who belong to the race.
The text describes Jesus the living one as the Logos-begotten one and the one who armed the believers with knowledge of truth and an unconquerable power of incorruptibility.
Another possibility is that the vowels could represent a secret, sacred way for the soul of the reader to move closer to gnosis[4] much like Buddhist and Hindu dharani.
