    A few years ago I had a plant medicine experience where I saw this creature that was quite large in stature and with it's hands it was controlling what looked like a matrix field that moved like an ocean in waves. He was in the middle of it and the matrix field was made up of glowing lines fashioned in a grid that moved with the wavy motion of the creature's hands.
    Years later I got a very strong feeling in my heart and the word Demiurge was in my consciousness. I decided to do some research and I realised that it was a very great probability that what I had seen in my experience was the Demiurge. It had a serpent-like body and a kind of Chinese lion face with a crest surrounding it's head! This literally blew me away and what makes sense to me nowadays is that we are living in a simulation created by some intelligence the ancients called the Demiurge!

    Wonderful. I was looking into Saturnian cults and astrology when I encountered Demiurge. That took me into Greek philosophy and *voila* here I am. This blows everything I read about Demiurge away. Now I have to look into Gnosticism (the rabbit hole never ends!!)
    I wonder if jean Baudrillard, the Arch-Priest of Postmodernism ever encountered Demiurge. It fits his ideas about culture so well. And of course, his theories inspired The Matrix which, now that I think of it, you remember those killer robots that hunted the humans in Zion? Those ‘Sentinels‘ looked awfully like snakes with lion heads. "Guards of the simulation world". It all connects. Defeat them and you reconvene with the ‘true‘ world, whatever that is.
    The stuff about a mournful Sophia, distraught over the fate of humans in the Demiurge world taking the name ‘Los‘ which no doubt relates to ‘Logos‘ and entering our world to leave us a trail back to the Monad is the stuff of Hollywood. Beautiful concept!!
    Anyway, thank you for connecting some dots in my research.

    head of a snake being a lion, which was used to depict the apex predator, you can find the elite and ruling classes using symbols of predators or even carrion feeders, like egypt, with it's jackals, hyenas, and vultures, scavengers, the snake could also represent the circle of life, the snake eating it's own tail, the part that eats is the head/predator, the tail being the prey, there is a tradition in a certain religion where they eat the head of an animal, usually a fish, on a certain feast to symbolize them being the head and not the tail, it's why some people call the "ruling elite" types the "predator class", when you see it this way, you can see why this is the image of the evil samael/yaldobaoth or whatever

    As I was exiting Christianity, I was beginning to have an inkling that the Christian God and Satan were two sides of the same coin, and that Jesus and Lucifer were, in a way, different manifestations of the same person. Seeing this creature with the lion's head (often associated with God) as well as a serpent's body (associated with Satan) and having it give the First Commandment as if it were the Christian God is some fun confirmation that I wasn't the first Christian to think this way. The demiurge is now definitely going on my list of favorite mythical creatures.

    This is a helpful intro to this topic, thank you. The more I look into Gnosticism the more sense it makes.. and the less sense mainstream religion makes. It is dfficult at first though to come to terms with the realization that the creator (of matter) turns out - according to these teachings - to be something quite different than our religions would have us believe. So I can understand why some people really struggle with it, and why the mainstream is so terrified of this "heresy".

    Is the Demiurge the same as YHVH that we invoke when we perform Magick? I've recently started practicing High Magick, but now I'm so confused about it. I know that when we vibrate YHVH we are referring to the God inside of us and the archangels answer because they see the divine in us. But what if the archangels are mistaking us for the Demiurge that also created the archangels? 😂
    I read somewhere that the Demiurge is some kind of monstrous God and he is also the same God of the abrahamic religions. Some kind of spiritual criminal. Maybe I'm taking the myth too seriously, but I'm really confused now.

      This is my main block doing the LBRP and QC and I feel resistant to progressing it. I believe that yes, that angry jerk in the Old Testament is indeed YHVH and who the Gnostics refer to as the demiurge. I like the LBRP and have been doing it for a few months, but, sometimes I can’t shake this idea of YHVH as a big fat tantruming a*hole like Trump, stomping about and being generally mean. Once while doing the QC and imagining the divine light, I got a sense of this light being false and it occluded the true divine light and I thought afterwards that one should try and see past it into the true light, but perhaps the demiurge is all we can cope with, because are we not that ourselves? Cranky, mean, angry and me me me? As we are in manifestation and have taken form, our purpose is to see past the demiurge to the source, we need to transcend. Sorry, rambling perhaps...

For instance what you call suffering is only suffering because you need to know when you are suffering or you would die. life is not about being happy and that makes people angry. It just feels good to be happy,. but the fact is you cannot exist without your suffering, we simply would have never survived if we fed outselves to predators with smiles on our faces. (this doesnt make some "god" evil or something just because if there was one it gave you the means to survive but you dont enjoy it as much as you perceive that you deserve) Another point i should make is that technology has changed the standard for happiness. alot of people invent their own suffering because they think they deserve the modern world, and are used to it. this modern bubble we live in isnt actually a life we are designed to live. what alot of people call suffering today would be insanely laughable to more natural beings who didnt have ridiculous standards of living. the way i see it, everyone alive has been offered the chance to experience a material existence, and you can leave any time you want. everyone is free to do so. i personally choose to embrace the experience by studying nature and replicating that in my own life, and of course i experience very little suffering. im rarely around technology. i have a large legacy. i eat naturally. and i live mostly off the land. im not saying this is easy for everyone because some rich assholes have roped us into a bunch of addictive crap that will surely lead to our demise. But do what you can to gain a proper environment for a human based on what breed you are and where your people come from, and you will find somehow all of the problems start melting away. its a life of peace, honestly.
      TLDR: suffering is required. Theres no entity to blame. people can leave whenever they want. I recommend staying though.

    Back in 1991, a luminous cloud formed in my room and then an entity with a doggish lion-like face and a serpentine body came out of it. It was the only time in my life that I had such a visual event. The entity looked just like the image at the beginning of this video...it is not a symbol...it is a graphic of something real. As a child, I was baptized Greek Orthodox, later attended a Methodist Sunday school and a Roman Catholic youth group. I had no knowledge of Gnosticism until 2019. There is more to the story of my encounter with the Demiurge/Chnoubis/Yaldabaoth/Abraxas, but it is not something I can fit in this comment section. There are definitely realms beyond this world of time and matter.

    Nice video! It seems, however, that the translation for ''demiurge'' as ''creator'' is a common misconception. The name is in fact originated from the words ''Demos'' (people) and ''Ourgos'', or ''Worker'' and came from a public (hence demos) position similar to that of a magistrate in ancient greece. The name was likely chosen in keeping with the political theme of the name ''Archon'', another political position in Greece. It is theorized that the vilification of such terms stems from an inherent anti-establishment nature of gnostic teachings and ethos, an anarchistic tradition.

    With the idea of God being The One, and the thought experiment of "What would you do if you were The One and had infinite time on your hand?" leading me to want to say "experience infinite experiences", I can't help but wonder if God/Monad allowed the creation of the Demiurge and the material world for the sake of the experience of Redemption. For instance, if you had a simulation machine that could do anything and create any experience, after a while, would one not choose the challenging uphill climb in contrast to the simple and effortless experiences? Sort of like playing video games that you win easily don't fulfill as much as overcoming the challenging ones. Even in human culture we see a fascination with action games and movies as compared to those of no conflict or fulfilling reward at the end. Thoughts anyone?

Why continue to conquer the challenge if it's easier to ignore it altogether? Perhaps the feeling of accomplishment is a neverending constant within Human DNA, written in our minds to continue to chase the solution, and ultimately the largest challenge the human mind can possibly face is the inevitable question of "What am I?" "Why do I exist?" Thus puzzling the human brain and leading to the creation of religious explanations to make the mind cope and feel like it has solved this ultimate question. Or, maybe not.

    I've always seem the Lion faced serpent as a representation of the the houses of sun and moon, being lion the sun obvs, and serpent the moon since serpents always been linked to the moon by Vishnu, the great astronomer, and his five headed serpent is a symbol for the 5 phases of the moon - this allegory comes from the serpentining movement the moon does around the earth. Plus, being the head one house and the body the other, you can further put Yaldabaoth as the Rahu and Ketu dragon in the vedic astrology aswell

It sounds like Sophia is a child who has built a dollhouse in her room. That has grown over her head. She is ashamed of it and hides it from her parents. Yet, she feels sorry for the creatures she created. That's why she releases the creatures into her world after they have suffered in the dollhouse. Well, in an instructive story, Sophie would have dared to speak to her parents about her error so that the mistake can be made well. Instead, Sophie hides her dollhouse forever. I wonder how you can come up with something like that. Where did the Gnostics get their stories from?

    I probably commented this on a previous video, way back last year or so when I first followed. This material entered my life at an opportune moment in my life during my first year of university when I was both pondering God and faith and needing a subject for a fairly large research project. I explored some core Gnostic texts: Thomas, Apoc J, Truth; all of which screamed at me of a religion and a people who were lost in the fold of history. A lost mythology, I first thought of it, and I was terrified by what I had found, as if I was the first person ever to think these radical and deeply heretical texts. Led me to study more deeply the New Testament, then to Jung and eventually to the Dark Arts, which I still refuse to practice. I still feel the terror I felt then, but it’s dulled, and has actually made my Catholic faith stronger. I’ve only discussed it with a select few people, and I’m still hesitant to bring it up. Anyway, I always love these sorts of videos, and hope that you also do some more of those readings of stories that you used to do!

      Oh boy, can I relate to this! The only contrast is my reluctance to embrace the Roman Catholic Church which I see as a major player in suppressing the gnostic narrative, and a most potent and lasting arm of the Roman Empire, the ultimate representation of the Iron Cage.
      This, of course, has no bearing on your faith, which I am certain is not a worship of the concept of the enslaving of mankind! 😄 Intention is important! I'm just sharing with you my own reluctance and the reasons for it. So my Christianity is a self-discovered one that can't rely on gatherings and must subsist on research and solitary prayer (though I wouldn't have it any other way 😉).

    Interesting synopsis. At your reference; I've started reading Valis. A good read so far! Seems quite applicable. I loved Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I can recommend Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches by Marvin Harris for a Philosophical viewpoint. Thanks for the attentive video!

    The demiurge image is exactly the same as the symbol for Singapore. The Merlion.
