An itinerary in Blue Moon Alexandria brings us face to face with Hermas Encratites, and the sublime horizons of Alexandria, permanently central in an eternally Manichaean world.

Adam and Luminous Jesus
The process of creation of the vegetation, the animal, and the rational life on earth involves successive fights between the Messenger and the sons and daughters of Darkness. At the end, Naimrael and Ashaklun, two female and male devils, bring forth two children, Adam and Eve. Consequently, in Adam's body a vast number of germs of light were imprisoned. As a matter of fact, he was the great captive of the Power of Evil.
To oppose this development, the Powers of Light sent a Savior, the luminous Jesus, who was apparently able to approach the otherwise innocent Adam, awake him from his sleep of death, and make him move. Adam reflected on himself and knew that he existed. Luminous Jesus instructed Adam and showed him the Father's dwelling in the celestial heights. He then made Adam stand up and taste of the tree of life. Adam then looked around and wept. He mightily lifted up his voice as a roaring lion.
Adam tore his hair and struck his breast and said, "Cursed be the creator of my body and he who bound my soul and they who have made me their slave". He thus realized that Man's duty is to keep his body pure from all bodily stain by practicing self-denial and to help also in the great work of purification throughout the universe.
