"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
- Exodus 3:14
"'I AM, has sent you.' Who is 'I AM?' In the scrolls found at the Nag Hammadi Library in Egypt in 1945, there is an entire chapter given by a Goddess. This Goddess uses the words 'I AM' when talking to the people....She identifies herself as 'I AM,' and the Goddess Thunder."

s: Jesus, Son of Mary
"For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the
mother and the daughter.
I am the members of my mother.
I am the barren one
and many are her sons.
I am she whose wedding is great,
and I ha
ve not taken a husband.
I am the midwife and she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labor pains.
I am the bride and the bridegroom,
and it is my husband who begot me.
I am the mother of my father
and the sister of my husband
and he is my offspring.
I am the slave of him who prepared me.
I am the ruler of my offspring.
But he is the one who begot me
before the time on a birthday.
And he is my offspring in due time and
my power is from him.
I am the staff of his power in his youth,
and he is the rod of my old age.
And whatever he wills happens to me.
I am the silence that is incom
prehensible
and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.
I am the voice whose sound is manifold
and the word whose appearance is multiple.
I am the utterance of my name."

The depiction of the soul as feminine is a basic tenet of Gnostic doctrine.
"...Cyril, the Bishop of Alexandria,
had openly embraced the cause of Isis,
the Egyptian goddess,
and had anthropomorphized her into Mary, the mother of God..."
- H. P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled
"Immaculate is our Lady Isis...the very terms applied afterwards to that personage (the Virgin Mary) who succeeded to her form, titles, symbols, rites, and ceremonies....Thus, her devotees carried into the new priesthood the former badges of their profession, the obligation to celibacy, the tonsure, and the surplice, omitting, unfortunately, the frequent ablutions prescribed by the ancient creed."
"The 'Bla
ck Virgins' , so highly reverenced in certain French cathedrals...proved, when at last critically examined, basalt figures of Isis!'"
