For the Gnostic Christians, the Sophia was a central element in their cosmological understanding of the Universe. A Feminine figure, analogous to the human soul but also simultaneously one of the Feminine aspects of God and the Bride of Christ, she is considered to have fallen from grace in some way, in so doing creating or helping to create the material world. For the Gnostics, the drama of the redemption of the Sophia through Christ or the Logos is the central drama of the universe. The Sophia resides in all of us as the Divine Spark. In Gnostic Christianity Christ is sent to bring her back to the Godhead.
So in a gnostic sense, the Sophia could also be interpreted as the divine wisdom within us that fell asleep when we "fell" into this matrix timeloop.
...been encountering mentions of Sophia a lot lately as well. Sophia was central in Vanilla Sky, movie that relates thematically to the idea of awakening from illusion. And one of Therion's new songs is called The Perennial Sophia.

A gorgeous woman. Can't wait for you to meet her.
Gorgeous, yes.... but don't forget that like any woman worth her salt, she can occasionally strike terror into your heart. 
]]>AFAIK: Sophia means knowledge, but is alternatively used as a word meaning philosophy. As in antropo*sophy,* teo*sophy,* philo*sophy,* and so on... This all comes from the greek (? or something ?) word, sophia.
