"And when Sophia left behind a part of light, the Arrogant One laid hold of it... Now when the Arrogant One had taken a part of the light, he sowed it. And he placed powers over it and Authorities. And he enclosed it in the aeons which are dead."

"Letter of Peter to Philip." The Nag Hammadi Library. Ed. James Robinson. HarperCollins, 1978. 435.

This Footstool Earth

Cast down from the worlds of light, Yaldabaoth carved a new home for himself out of the  darkness: "When the...
"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 of a bright flame of fire that still exists. He mated with the Mindlessness that is in him, and produced his own Authorities..."

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...
"...by that very process of reasoning on which they depend for teaching that there is a certain Pleroma or God above the Creator of heaven and earth, any one who chooses to employ it may maintain that there is another Pleroma above the Pleroma, above that again another...and thus, their doctrine flowing out into immensity.... after worlds without limits, and gods that cannot be numbered.

...Basilides himself will, according to his own principles, find it necessary to maintain not only that there are three hundred and sixty-five heavens made in succession by one another, but that an immense and innumerable multitude of heavens have always been in the process of being made, and are being made, and will continue to be made, so that the formation of heavens of this kind can never cease...the operation must go on ad infinitum..."

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"...
"Apes become human as a result of a virus infection that kills most of the species and mutates the rest. The survivors feel a painful invasion of their bodies by an external force that gradually produces human behavior. Humanity develops from language ("the talk sickness"), eating flesh and excrement (cannibalism is implied), and sexuality... [and] must adapt to painful mutations as they become "soft machines." The soft machine is the human body controlled by physical needs, which can be manipulated through language. The body itself is not evil, but the psychophysical control mechanisms are, and it is these that make bodily existence a trap..."

Archons of Eden

As the gnostic scriptures reveal, the Garden of Eden was not a paradise, but a prison laboratory where fallen angels...
"As Sophia looked down into the region of the Waters, her Image appeared in the Waters; and the Authorities of the Darkness became enamored of her. But they could not lay hold of that Image which had appeared to them in the Waters, because of their weakness - since beings that merely possess a soul cannot lay hold of those that possess a spirit; for they were from below, while it was from Above. And thus she withdrew up to her light."

Sophia Revealed

When he had finished creating the physical universe, Yaldabaoth boasted to the angels beneath him, demanding that they worship him...
"The entire realm of the Chief Ruler quaked, and the foundations of hell shook. The bottomside of the waters above the material world was lit up by the image that had appeared. When all the Authorities and the Chief Ruler stared at this appearance, they saw the whole bottomside as it was lit up. And through the light they saw the shape of the image in the water."

Yaldabaoths Vision

When Yaldabaoth realized that his creation was threatened by Immortal Man, he began to preen and bluster shamelessly: "... when...
"...the First Father gave those who were with him a false intention concerning the man. Then each one of them cast his seed on the midst of the navel of the earth. Since that day, the seven Rulers have formed the man: his body is like their body, his likeness is like the man who appeared to them. His molded body came into being according to a portion of each one of them. Their chief created his head and the marrow."

Adam the Golem

Adam (the first man) was a misbegotten android, spawned when Yaldabaoth tried to duplicate and enslave a reflected vision of...
"When Eve saw her co-likeness cast down, she pitied him, and she said, 'Adam, live! Rise up on the earth!' Immediately her word became a deed... Adam rose up [and] he opened his eyes. When he saw her, he said, 'You will be called 'the mother of the living' because you are the one who gave me life.'"

”On the Origin of the World.” The Other Bible. Ed. Willis Barnstone. Harper San Francisco, 1984. 70.

Eve and the Breath of Life

Eve was not produced from Adam's rib; rather, Adam was created by fallen angels who abandoned him as lifeless experiment,...
"The body moved, and became powerful. And it was enlightened. At once the rest of the powers became jealous. Although Adam had come into being through all of them, and they had given their power to this human, yet Adam was more intelligent than the creators and the first Ruler…"

“The Secret Book of John.” The Secret Teachings of Jesus. Trans. Marvin W. Meyer. Vintage, 1984. 75.

Adam Awakens

When Adam came to life, the Rulers panicked as they realized that the creature they had created was becoming too...
...Eve, since she existed as a power, laughed at their false intention. She darkened their eyes and left her likeness there stealthily beside Adam. She entered the Tree of Knowledge, and remained there. But they tried to follow her. She revealed to them that she had entered the tree and become tree. And when the blind ones fell into a great fear, they ran away."

”On the Origin of the World.” The Other Bible. Ed. Willis Barnstone. Harper San Francisco, 1984. 70.

God and His Angels Rape Eve

The Rulers laid plans to impregnate Eve and create a slave race to worship them, but Eve simply laughed and...
 "Some of them say that the serpent was Sophia herself; for this reason it was opposed to the maker of Adam and gave knowledge to men, and therefore is called the wisest of all [Gen. 3:1]. And the position of our intestines through which food is taken in, and their shape, shows that the hidden Mother of the shape of the serpent is a substance within us."

"The Sethian Ophites." The Other Bible. Ed. Willis Barnstone. Harper San Francisco, 1984. 664.

Secrets of the Serpent Savior

Disgusted by the Rulers' antics, Sophia sent a slithering spirit to help the hapless humans: a divine messenger known as...
"Then the seven took counsel. They came to Adam and Eve timidly. They said to him… "Every tree which is in Paradise, whose fruit may be eaten, was created for you. But beware! Don't eat from the Tree of Knowledge. If you do eat, you will die." After they gave them a great fright, they withdrew up to their Authorities."

”On the Origin of the World.” The Other Bible. Ed. Willis Barnstone. Harper San Francisco, 1984. 71.

The Forbidden Fruit

Hoping to keep mankind ignorant, the Archons warned Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge: "Then...
