​The Demiurge

When Sophia attempted to emanate without her co-partner Syzygy, the Demiurge came into existence, who in turn brings about the creation of materiality. The Demiurge has many names, and among them are Yaldabaoth, Yahweh, Saklas, and Samael. He was also known as Rex Mundi (King of the World) and sometimes conflated with Satan.

​

In the Apocryphon of John, the Demiurge declares that he has made the world by himself:

 

"Now the Archon ["ruler"] who is weak has three names. The first name is Yaldabaoth, the second is Saklas ["fool"], and the third is Samael ["blind god"]. 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".

​

The Demiurge is often depicted as a (sometimes winged) serpent with a lion's head. This creature is exiled outside the Pleroma; in isolation, and thinking itself alone, it believed that he is the Creator God. It then created the material world.

​

​For clarification purposes, let us call the "God" of the Bible as "The Demiurge God" to differentiate from the Monad being the "True God".​

The Archons

​The Demiurge created the Archons, in an unconscious attempt mirroring the Monad & the Aeons.

​The Demiurge created the Archons for the sole purpose of serving him, and to control the material world. The Archons are also known as Powers and Principalities, tasked with keeping the souls trapped in the rmaterial realm.

​

The Demiurge was later became known to the world as "God" (of the Bible) and the Archons were known as "angels".

​​

​The Demiurge and his Archons then created the first Man in the form of a golem. ​Angelic beings were subsequently tricked into entering the golem bodies with the promise of material pleasures, unknowing to them that the price would be decay & death, and also forgetting their spiritual origins.

​

The Demiurge and the Archons later raped Eve, and thus Abel & Cain were born.
