Sophia Achamoth in the Gnostic Pistis Sophia, the second or inferior Sophia, the personification of the productive force in nature -- which on its lowest plane is the astral light. Sophia Achamoth is shown lost in the waters of chaos on her way to the supreme Light, and as being delivered by Christos -- the masculine manifestation of the Cosmic Logos in this case.
She was the mother of Ildabaoth, the proud and impure spirit, who rejected the spiritual light of the middle space, offered him by his mother, and set himself to create a world of his own; but he is obliged to call upon his mother to illumine the monsters he has made. In some passages in The Secret Doctrine Sophia-Achamoth is used to mean both aspects together, or sometimes even when the higher Sophia is intended.(Global Oneness)
