I like this gnostic myth. Another Eve is described in the Gnostic Christian texts--

Here, her descriptions are those of a guide, instructor, and even a savior figure. Her essence and actions serve to provide gnosis and illumination for humanity. She is an "other" Eve.

As in the Genesis story, she decides to eat from the tree of gnosis and to share its enlightenment with Adam:

Then their intellect became open. For when they had eaten, the light of acquaintance had shone upon them. When they saw that the ones who had modelled them had the form of beasts they loathed them: they were very aware from that day, the authorities knew that truly there was something mightier than they.

Comments are welcome, most certainly. But I'm not really interested in engaging in any theological debates about this myth vs. that myth, etc. To put things into context on my end, I don't think any of these stories are historical facts, but metaphors and allegories instead. I used to think that "myth" meant something fictional or untrue. But on this quest for gnosis, I've come to realize that myths are more true than any history. It has something to do with the Anima Mundi, the Worldsoul, Sophia, Christos, the riches of human consciousness ... but I can't quite articulate that yet.

It has something to do with how wonderfully each of us are made.

Heck, I'm writing my very own myth every day. And so, I think, are you.
