The Demiurge and Disorder
The Biblical creator god’s greatest flaw is his ignorance – he literally does not understand where he came from. The Demiurge’s limited awareness made him the target of many cruel jokes in the gnostic scriptures, not least of which were the insulting nicknames he was given:
“This gloomy ruler has three names: “The first name is [...]
Sacrilegious garbage
"I was just wondering if you can actually PROVE the things your "religion" stands for or if someone got really bored one night and decided to write slandering and sacrilegious garbage with the intent to lead people astray? I feel sorry for all of you that actually believe this stuff, because by the time you [...]
The Creation of Chaos
At the beginning of time, Sophia (the world soul) broke away from Christ (the world spirit) and gave birth to Yaldabaoth, the arrogant creator-god of the Old Testament.
The exact process by which this cosmic fiasco occurred was the subject of much debate among the gnostics; in perhaps the oldest version of the story, Sophia’s [...]
Birth of the Demiurge
As Sophia looked down into the swirling void, a monstrous creature swam forth from the darkness – an insane fallen angel called “the Demiurge”:
“…a Ruler first appeared out of the waters… having a great authority within himself, but not knowing whence he came into being.” [1]
Disgusted by her accidental creation, Sophia threw the Demiurge [...]
Blasphemy of Samael
The Demiurge looked at his surroundings, realized that he was alone, and declared himself “god”; Sophia acted quickly to punish this cosmic usurper, blinding and banishing him in one fell swoop:
“Opening his eyes he saw a vast quantity of Matter without limit; and he became arrogant, saying, “It is I who am God, and there [...]
This Footstool Earth
Cast down from the worlds of light, Yaldabaoth carved a new home for himself out of the darkness:
“When the Ruler saw his greatness, he saw only himself; he did not see another one except water and darkness. Then he thought that he alone existed. His thought was made complete by means of the word, [...]
Origin of the Seven Archons
Fleeing Sophia’s presence, Yaldabaoth/Yahweh used the divine energy he had stolen from her to create offspring of his own:
“Yaldabaoth is the first ruler, who took great power from his Mother. Then he left her and moved away from the realms where he was born. He was strong, and created for himself other realms by means [...]
Many Heavens of the Hebdomad
In the gnostic view, Yaldabaoth built the universe as a sort of cosmic penal colony where “dimensions, times, and seasons” were created in order to keep humans “blinded” and “bound” to the cycle of reincarnation. [1]
As a soul falls to the Earth on its way to be born, each archon attaches a particular “sin” (or [...]
Mystical Double-talk
"Despite all your mystical double-talk, those who know God will stand strong against all delusions great and, like yours, small. You may succeed in confusing those who are simply "playing at religion," but those of us who *know God* are wise to your schemes."
- Richard H.
