Why the Gnostics Believed the Creator Was Evil | DEMIURGE

<p>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.</p><p>In Episode 2 of The Gnostic Revelation, we explain the Demiurge. </p><p>The "craftsman" god of Gnostic cosmology. </p><p>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.</p><p><br /></p><p>SERIES PLAYLIST:</p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpdqq-lvIaYKr1QlWHgNY91F5uWyeBHjG&amp;si=V1K2HOos9mNWPFrb" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpdqq-lvIaYKr1QlWHgNY91F5uWyeBHjG&amp;si=V1K2HOos9mNWPFrb</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Sources - </p><p><br /></p><p>What is the Matrix Control System?
