a deity shrouded in mystery with the power to
shape worlds and dictate our very existence lies in the ancient myths of Gnosticism
join me on a journey where we encounter the enigmatic figure known as the demiurge
[Music] derived from the Greek word Demi

ourgos meaning a Craftsman an artisan the demiurge
is a Divine architect that rules over the Earth he is interpreted as a lower Divine entity a
false god separate from the true supreme god the origin of the demiurge varies among different
Gnostic traditions in some versions they are

seen as an emanation or extension of the
higher Divine being while in others they are seen as a fallen angel or spiritual
entity that originated from a lower Realm a more Mythic interpretation is that the demiurge
was the child of Sophia a Divine entity known as

an eon similar to an angel who descended from
God the father and resided in the pleroma the Gnostic name for heaven Sophia gave birth to
the demiurge without the approval of Father God however God didn't punish her she punished
herself and casted her child out of the pleroma

the demiurge now alone believed that he was the
only being who had ever existed and created the material world out of his ignorance foolishness
and malevolence trapping Sparks of divinity within Humanity along the way initially unaware
that the spark of divinity he placed within them

came not from him but from the true supreme
god the demiurge would keep Humanity bound to this material existence creating obstacles that
would prevent individuals from attaining True spiritual enlightenment and Liberation from the
material realm he would do so by creating entities

known as archons to serve him. These archons were agents of chaos who carried out his will under the demiurge's authority. The archons enforced the illusory and flawed nature of the Physical Realm. They accomplished this through various means such as societal structures, religious

dogma, and manipulating the human ego's attachment to material possessions. It's important to note that the primary goal of Gnosticism was to safeguard the truths of the universe by employing symbolic imagery and allegory to address the dilemma of

how a benevolent and perfect God could co-exist with evil and suffering in the world. Therefore, Gnostics developed the concept of the demiurge and his archons. In some branches of Gnosticism, the demiurge is identified with the god of the Old Testament, while the God of the New Testament

is considered a higher deity. In a particular variant of the Valentinian branch of Gnosticism, the demiurge is seen as both the god of the Old and New Testaments. This demiurge eventually realizes that order is needed to balance chaos, or he risks losing his entire creation. So he sends

humanity a Messiah. However, this Messiah carries the light of the Christ and is united with the one true supreme God. Ultimately, the demiurge is used as a metaphor for obstacles created by the ego that individuals must overcome in their spiritual

journey. They represent separation, illusion, and the seductive power of the material world, all of which must be transcended in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine.

Conscious Creator 

데미우르는 영지주의 신화에 등장하는 세계를 형성하는 힘을 가진 신비한 신입니다.

그리스어에서 유래한 이 단어는 '장인'이라는 뜻으로, 지구를 다스리는 신성한 건축가로, 하급 신 또는 거짓 신으로 간주됩니다.

더 높은 존재의 발산, 타락한 천사, 소피아(신성한 존재)의 자식 등 기원은 다양합니다.

영겁의 소피아는 신의 승인 없이 데미우르지를 낳았고, 스스로 벌을 내리고 그를 쫓아냈습니다.

자신을 유일한 존재라고 믿은 데미우르는 무지로 물질 세계를 창조하여 인류에게 신성의 불꽃을 가두었습니다.

그는 아콘이라는 존재를 이용해 인류를 묶어두고 영적 깨달음을 막는 장애물을 만들었습니다.

집정관은 사회 구조, 종교적 교리, 조작을 통해 물리적 영역의 결함 있는 본성을 강요했습니다.

영지주의적 해석과 데미우르지의 역할

영지주의는 자비로운 신과 악의 공존을 설명하기 위해 상징적인 이미지를 사용했는데, 데미우르지와 아콘은 이를 다루고 있습니다.

일부 분파에서는 데미우르지가 구약의 신과 동일시되는 반면, 신약의 신은 더 높은 신입니다.

발렌티누스 영지주의에서 데미우르는 구약과 신약의 신이며, 그리스도의 빛을 지닌 메시아를 보내신다는 의미입니다.

디미어지는 영적 여정에서 자아가 만들어낸 장애물을 비유하는 말입니다.

이는 분리, 환상, 물질 세계의 매혹적인 힘을 상징하며, 영적 깨달음을 위해 초월이 필요합니다.
