Pleroma in Greek means literally, "fullness." In Gnostic cosmology,
the Pleroma is the dwelling place of spirit, the non-material reality that
permeates all existence. In some models, the Pleroma is made up of the thirty
highest Aeons, attributes of
the ineffable Divine that exist beyond the physical world; in others, it makes
up the entirety of existence but can only be comprehended with special understanding.
