Spontaneous, natural will, a typical trait of the Valentinian God.

Theletos and Sophia

Sophia is regarded as being the last of the Aeons residing in the Pleroma, while Theletos, also known as Christ or Christos, is her consort who descended to the physical world to bring gnosis to humanity and, in turn, restore Sophia in full to the Pleroma. Many people neglect, however, to see how many times the Sophia/Christ archetype has appeared throughout various mythologies throughout the world. A few such examples of this archetype include Izanagi and Izanami from Japanese mythology, Geb and Nut from Egyptian mythology, Gaia and Uranus from Greek mythology, Marduk and Tiamat from Babylonian mythology, and Anu and Ki from Sumerian mythology.

Izanagi and Izanami are arguably two of the most important deities in Japanese mythology. Izanagi represents the Christ archetype, while Izanami represents the Sophia archetype. Together, they are the personification of the Yin and Yang. When most people think of the Yin and Yang symbol, they think of the duality that it represents; two polarizing forces opposing one another such as God and Satan or Enki and Enlil. It’s also representative of the interdependency between these two forces and how they may actually compliment each other. In the Pleroma, Aeons are created in syzygy pairs, and those Aeons then create in balance and harmony with each other so the Monad can experience more of itself. All of the Aeons are ultimately aspects of the Monad, each representing a different personality trait. Theletos represents “desire” or a “longing for”, while Sophia represents “wisdom”. Sophia gains wisdom through her experiences in the lower realms outside the Pleroma, and eventually desires to become one again with her consort so that she can return back home. Although Theletos is regarded as the masculine Aeon and Sophia as his feminine counterpart, the reality is that they are both extensions of the Monad. Separation is an illusion, and duality does not exist in the Pleroma the way we know it in our physical reality.

Theletos in Pathfinder RPG

Theletoses maintain the balance between fate and free will. A theletos is a roughly spherical mass of crystals from which emerge four limbs, each split at the elbow and ending in three-fingered hands. A pair of crystalline tentacles also emerges from its body. Those who have been damaged by a theletos's tentacles describe a disorienting dilemma as they simultaneously feel forced to make a single choice while also being overwhelmed by the endless options available to choose from. Theletoses are more likely than most aeons to interfere in non-aeon societies, particularly in regions with draconian laws. Their involvement is twofold; a theletos concerns itself with both the freedom of individuals and the laws that restrict these individuals, even (or especially) when the two are in opposition.
