	Valentinian Gnosticism and classical Saa.mkhya:A thematic and structurl comparison
		The Vaientinian Bythos initiates creation by the emanation of Nous and Truth, but after this action He takes no other intervention in the process He began.
		The most significant similarity between the two systems is that both puru.sa and Bythos provide the means themselves which lead to liberation as defined within its particular system.
		Bythos does this by His prudent design; puru.sa does this by serving as the catalyst for the activation of prak.rti, since of course prak.rti necessarily works for the discrimination of his isolation (which is to say "for the sake of the release of each puru.sa" [S.K. p.245

		Beyond the Pleroma of divine emanations there is to begin with the Bythos, the Unknown God, that is the source from which the Pleroma emanates.
		Bythos is unknowable as the essence of God, yet the energies (the emanated Pleroma) can be known in a Gnostic sense.
		It seems to me that in many ways they are claiming to be the exclusive school of Gnosticism, which would make using their definition very difficult.

		Thus the "nameless and the unrevealed," Bythos, his female reflection, and Ennoia, the revealed Mind proceeding from both, or their Son are the counterparts of the Chaldean first triad as well as those of the Brahmanic Trimurti.

		And Lakmy (or Lakshmy) who, as in the case of Osiris, and Isis, of En-Soph and Sephira, and of Bythos and Ennoia, is both his wife, sister, and daughter, through this endless correlation of male and female creative powers in the abstruse metaphysics of the ancient philosophies -- is Sophia-Achamoth.
