I’ll get it started:
1. There is a God. It is The One, it is indivisible, it is perfect, and nothing can compare to it or contain it. Imagine your own conception of God and multiply it by five million. That’s God.
2. The One is so perfect it feels no real need to create anything directly, but a by-product of its celestial genius is that it can literally think things into reality. It doesn’t purposefully do this, it just does it. It’s a consequence of what it is.
3. One of these emanations / indirect creations is a goddess named Sophia, the goddess of wisdom, reflection, and creative work.
4. At some point Sophia wanted to perform an experiment and create something totally new, without the help or influence of The One. After she was finished, she was so horrified at what she had created, she took it and locked it away by itself, completely ashamed of what she had done.
5. The thing she locked away was another, lower emanation: Yaldabaoth. Yaldabaoth, being completely alone for the entirety of his existence and abandoned by his mother, believes itself to be the only god in the entire universe (it doesn’t know any better). It creates the material universe (this one), which is both ugly, due to his ignorance, and also beautiful, because of his true lineage to The One. Yaldabaoth isn’t an evil entity. He’s just misguided, confused, and lonely. But still capable of creating great and beautiful things. Traditionally, we know him as YHWH.
6. Sophia comes clean to The One about what she’s done, and The One, in its infinite love and understanding, forgives her and another emanation springs forth from it: Jesus Christ. Jesus is sent to earth to demonstrate that WE are not who we think we are, but rather, we possess a divine spark that we inherited from The One. Jesus willingly dies in order to demonstrate that material death is nothing to fear and that our spirit can transcend the material plane and return to The One, which is where we’re originally from.
7. Since we are creations of Yaldabaoth, we are simply HIM exploring himself. We are HIM attempting to know himself more. We are extensions of his consciousness. Once WE understand where we’re really from, and who we really are, Yaldabaoth will also realize where HE is really from. This is how total and universal unity and peace is finally achieved.
Happy bye week.
