CREATION STORY

One of the central myths in most Gnostic teachings is the Fall and Redemption of Sophia—the embodied wisdom of God who, for various reasons, transgresses against the Eternal Realm, gives birth to the World of Forms (Matter; Mother), and along with humanity sets out to redeem Creation.

Her name is synonymous with “Wisdom,” “Divine Feminine,” “Shakti,” and “Great Mother.”

She is the “first idea of Creation,” the sound that carried the vibration and signature of Matter; she is the “Prima Materia” of Alchemy, the “Anima Mundi or World Soul,” and the limitless light of Kabbalah, “Ain Soph Aur.”

Sophia was the Mother of Creation; her consort and assistant was Jehovah.

Her sacred shrine, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, is one of the seven wonders of the world.

Her symbol, the dove, represents spirit; she is crowned by stars, a Middle Eastern icon, to indicate her absolute divinity.

The saga of Sophia is the story of the soul’s adventure across infinity, as well as the perennial symbol of the triumphant return of the Divine Feminine.

Gnostics see her as one of the **Aeons**, one of the quasi-deities who live in the ethereal realm known as the **Pleroma.**

Creation begins and ignites the darkness. This light energy is a field of consciousness awaiting expression through you. We are all the aspects of this first idea of creation. The emanation of limitless light. The force of creation emerges in absolute aloneness of the absolute One.

This creative force that creates manifestation longs for twoness, an experience with another. From twoness arrives the power of multiplicity. By which the original absolute One enters into the play and the outpouring as the universal All. Appearing as a galactic spiraling movement of our own Milky Way galaxy. We take our place in the infinite universe. The core of this universal process is called **Pleroma**, *meaning fullness or the thoughts of God.*

These serpent like torrents of massive energy become distinct. As the One beings exploring *being*. These energies, or Aeons manifest sensory worlds by dreaming. The One creates multiple emanations in the Pleroma. Each with a masculine and feminine polarity. Always in movement, these Aeons formed pairs called syzygies. Together these emanations come together to create a thought form.

A seed is formed and the Pleromic dreaming was to cultivate this seed called Anthropos. **The human being.** The Aeons seed their imagination as an energy of Gold and looks beyond the radiant core to a perfect place for this seed of life but not too far or too close to the Galactic Center.

Among these emanations from the Galactic core there is one coupling that exists called Christos Sofia. Sofia as the feminine was curious and enthralled and intensely allured by the possibility for creation that existed in this golden seed of Anthropos. A primal force of creation and an emanation of divinity herself she becomes riveted by this experiment, she wanders by herself in the outer edges of the galaxy.

As the Goddess Sophia dreamed, it is said that she fell further into the void and awoke within a ‘nightmare’ as her *impact* on the outer veil led to the ‘emergence’ of ‘in-organic’ elementals named **Archons**. This negative being was thrown out from her light form along with other creations of his intention. Which were imperfect geometries of creation.

These negative Aeons, birthed the **Demiurge**, creator and ruler of this world. Gnostics see the Demiurge as the God of the Old Testament, with his strict rules and chains that bind the people of the Earth. The Archons circled around the chaotic fields that were formed by ‘Sophia’s fall’ into the Kenoma (her coma). This violent eruption of Alien life forms was something like an abortion of a spontaneous miscarriage of divine power.

Often Part-lion, part-serpent, the Demiurge controls the ‘flow of energy’ in our human world – ‘money’ and ‘time’.

In the Apocryphon of John c. 120–180 AD, the Demiurge arrogantly declares that he has made the world by himself:

Now the archon (ruler) who is weak has three names. The first name is Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas ("fool"), and the third is Samael. And he is impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said, "I am God and there is no other God beside me," for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come.

In the Nag Hammadi, the Gnostics describe Yaldabaoth as Ariael, another variation of the angel Ariel (or Ariael), which means “Lion of God” or “Hearth of God”. The Apocryphon of John, a work heavily quoted by John Lash in his excellent book ‘Not in his Image’, describes the Demiurge as a ‘dragon-like lion’ (a beast). The beast is the Chimera, a ‘virus’ made manifest that infested our world to replicate itself through the human mind. It is the ‘beast within’, a ‘persona’ (a mask) of the Demiurge, the ‘phantom self’, for those that are unknowingly possessed by the chimera, if they allow it to be the overriding force.

He is Demiurge and maker of man, but as a ray of light from above enters the body of man and gives him a soul, Yaldabaoth is filled with envy; he tries to limit man's knowledge by forbidding him the fruit of knowledge in paradise. At the consummation of all things all light will return to the Pleroma. But Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, with the material world, will be cast into the lower depths.

When Sofia spoke to Yaldabaoth she declared...

"You are mistaken blind one.

there is an immortal child of light who came into this realm before you

and who will appear among your duplicate forms in your simulated world.

humanity exists and the offspring of the human strain exists.

in the CONSUMMATION of all of your works the entire DEFICIENCY of truth

will be dissolved in this luminous child. The anthropos." - Sofia

A celestial light came to her aid. She aligned her divine power with a new born star. That star is our Sun. In order to redeem her action that created the Archons, according to the Gnostic texts, she took the physical form as Gaia (The Original Earth) and her daughter was called Zoe (the Imagination).

While the Demiurge and the Archons built their replica Earth Matrix, (using other electromagnetic bodies known as Planets and Suns), an illusionary construct, was made to perfectly ‘mimic’ the original earth reality.

This Father God created seven realms, each more material than the last, until finally this human world was formed and the beings of this world rose and walked, crawled or flew through the skies.

But the Father God was vain and jealous, angry and forbidding, not knowing the power of the higher Aeons, nor of the Pleroma, nor even of his own Mother, the Divine Sophia. When the Divine Sophia instructed him and opened his mind to Truth, he was amazed and refused to divulge these mysteries to those of his own creation.

Being a god of the material, social and psychic order, it was not possible for him to be a teacher of the higher mysteries, and Sophia was dismayed by his wrath, anger and jealousy. So when he created the first human beings, she was there and secretly, without his knowing, she gave to them the gift of the Holy Spirit as a divine spark in every human heart.

And it is said, that in the Garden of Eden, created by the lower Father God, that Eve was the manifestation of the Lower Wisdom and that the serpent or snake of the tree, was actually the Christos who urged Eve to eat the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that she might attain the true Gnosis or knowledge of her origins and realize the Higher Sophia in perfect illumination and bliss.

But the Father God, discovering that this secret teaching was disturbing his supremacy in the lower realms grew angry and cast them out of the garden and into the suffering of the world. Yet each and every descendent has this spark and the potential to recover the true Gnosis.

The Gnostics say that humanity is caught up between two realities, the ‘original Earth’ and the one created out of what the Gnostic texts call HAL forged by its ‘Creator’ – the Demiurge (Father God). On Earth the Archons are the ‘genies in a bottle’, phantoms that can take many forms through fire and water, so to be let loose or to be commanded. Once loose, they can and do influence the illusionary world for those that ‘communicate with them’. See all ‘magicians’ from Dr John Dee to Crowley, & the Satanic elite.

The lowest regions of Pleroma are closest to darkness—that is, the physical world. The Demiurge creature does not belong to Pleroma, and the One emanates two savior Aeons, Christ and the Holy Spirit, to save humanity from the Demiurge. Christ then took a human form (Jesus), to teach humanity how to achieve Gnosis. The ultimate end of all Gnosis is μετάνοια metanoia, or repentance—undoing the sin of material existence and returning to Pleroma. The Aeons Sophia and Christos are the original blueprint for the Gods and Goddesses all over the ancient world.

Rediscovering the Lineage of Sophia becomes an essential key to accomplishing the task of Humanity as Anthropos. (Anthropos is a Greek word meaning, in the ancient mystery schools, the template of divine human potential.) The Gnostics have said that the gift of the imaginal reveals Divinity’s greatest gift to humanity, and is one of our most essential tools in expanding awareness. The intention in telling this story, largely based on Gnostic texts, is to spark your own “direct knowing,” which will then inform your sacred activism in the world. - Source

William Blake's "Ancient of Days" has been interpreted by some as a depiction of the Demiurge.

THE ARCHONS

An Archon, in the Gnosticism (signifies a knowledge or insight into man's real nature as Divine, leading to the deliverance of the Divine spark within man from the constraints of earthly existence) of late antiquity, was any of several servants of the Demiurge, the "creator God" that stood between the human race and a transcendent God that could only be reached through Gnosis aka the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. In this context they have the role of the Angels and Demons of the Old Testament. They give their name to the sect called Archontics.

They were thus called from the Greek word ἄρχοντες, "principalities", or "rulers", by reason that they held the world to have been created and ruled by malevolent Archons. The term was taken from the ancient Greek position of office "Archon".

The Apostle Paul in his epistles uses “Archon” in a transcendental context (Ephesians 2:2 and Colossians 2:15 are two examples). Through a more esoteric reading, Paul indicates that it was demonic agents, not the Jews or Romans, who were actually responsible for the death of Jesus Christ; and that these very same forces control the universe.

The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, John Martin, 1852 — *The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah*, John Martin, 1852

In a Dictionary of Gnosticism, Andrew Phillip Smith defines the Archons:

In Gnostic systems, the Archons are the numerous assistance of the Demiurge.
They are usually responsible for the creation of the human body, and specific archons are sometimes considered to create or animate the various components (limbs, organs, etc.) of the body.
Planetary archons are also thought to rule over the various spheres through which the soul may ascend.
The archons have a negative role, restraining the spiritual impulses of humanity and direct human affairs for the Demiurge, being responsible for the flood the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the crucifixion of Jesus.

Drawing of the leontocephaline found at the Mithraeum of C. Valerius Heracles and sons, dedicated 190 AD at Ostia Antica, Italy (CIMRM 312).

The physical universe was the creation of the demiurge, Samael or Yaldabaoth, sometimes figured as a snake with the head of a lion, a blind and stupid god who creates his false world in imperfect imitation of the real Creator.

This world is a distorted mirror, an image; in other words, a kind of software. In this flawed system—this software—the archons are demented programmers, coding our fate, precisely every negative aspect of our lives, inner and outer, that slowly broke our mental spine.

THE METHODS OF THE ARCHONS

The Archon nature of bureaucracy of the heavens is their greatest weapon.

The faulty “software” was, ironically, the perfect mechanism to keep us trapped in, as Philip K Dick called the universe, the Black Iron Prison.

It was death by a thousand regulations, death by a thousand frustrations.

It’s like a splinter
in your mind,
driving you mad.

Morpheus The Matrix

In fact, in the novel Good Omens, written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, a demon appropriately named Crowley proves that the Archon-way is superior in the fight against Heaven.

He demonstrates that traffic jams and phone service outages are far more efficient in damning souls than such common demonic methods as possession or temptation. Source - Gnostic Warrior
