CHAPTER 15.
Now it happened when all those that were in the
twelve aeons saw the great light which I had, they were
all agitated against one another, and they ran from side
to side in the aeons. And all the aeons and all the heavens
and their whole order moved against one another, because
of the great fear which they had because they did not
know the mystery which had happened. And Adamas,
the great tyrant , and all the tyrants which are in all the
aeons began to wage war in vain against the light. And they
did not know against whom they waged war, because they
saw nothing except the greatly surpassing light.
Now it happened when they waged war against the light,
they were all exhausted together, and they were cast down
into the aeons, and they became like the earth-dwellers who
are dead and have no breath in them. And I took a third
part of all their power so that they should not work their
wicked actions, and in order that when men who are in the
world call upon them in their mysteries - those which the
transgressing angels brought down, namely their magic -
that when now they call upon them in their wicked actions,
they are not able to complete them. And (as for) the
Heimarmene and the sphere over which they rule, I turned
them and caused them to spend six months turned to the
left, as they complete their (periods of) influence, and to
look to the right for six months, as they complete their
(periods on influence. However, through the command of
the first ordinance and through the command of the First
Mystery, Jeu the Overseer of the Light had placed them
so that they were looking to the left at all times, as they
completed their (periods of) influence and their actions.
