Why the Gnostics Believed the Creator Was Evil | DEMIURGE

The Gnostics had an answer to the problem of evil that the early Church spent centuries trying to erase: that the god who built this world was not the highest god, and may never have known what it was doing.In Episode 2 of The Gnostic Revelation, we explain the Demiurge. The "craftsman" god of Gnostic cosmology. From the Nag Hammadi texts to the present day. This is the figure the Gnostics called Yaldabaoth: the blind creator, the false god, the maker of a broken world. We dig into the Gnostic answer to the problem of evil, the roles of Sophia and the Archons, the suppressed teachings of Marcion and the Cathars, and the strange way this ancient heresy keeps resurfacing in the visions of Philip K. Dick, the psychology of Carl Jung, the writings of John Lamb Lash and Tom Montalk, and the modern simulation hypothesis.SERIES PLAYLIST:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpdqq-lvIaYKr1QlWHgNY91F5uWyeBHjG&si=V1K2HOos9mNWPFrbSources - What is the Matrix Control System?

This film is part of an ongoing series I am producing that will attempt to dive deeper into these topics piece by piece. If you want to explore and learn more about Gnosticism I recommend checking out this playlist I have curated. I am constantly adding new videos as I explore and learn more myself.

This being the case, production time has increased significantly. I am sorry that I will no longer be able to maintain the upload schedule you guys have grown accustomed to but I need to do this in order to not risk losing my channel again, and also to prove to myself that I am capable of making quality videos without relying on Ai tools. I do not take on sponsors for my videos. This channel relies heavily on direct support from viewers like you to keep this project going.
