Sabaoth: The Archon Who Turned Against the Demiurge

 

 

His name is Sabaoth, the son of the Yaldabaoth, and according to the text On the Origin of the World, he turns away from the system he once served after hearing the voice of Sophia, the embodiment of divine wisdom. 

Rather than a cosmic battle, the transformation of Sabaoth begins with recognition — the moment a governing structure realizes a higher light exists beyond it. 

The Gnostic writings describe Sophia illuminating Sabaoth, elevating him to the seventh heaven, where he becomes a guardian at the threshold between worlds. 

But what does this story really mean? 

Is Sabaoth simply a mythological Archon… or is this ancient teaching describing something that can happen within human awareness itself?

Yaldabaoth: the First Self-deifier

 According to some early Christian texts, the creator is a blind, blaspheming, inept abortion. His blasphemy is a declaration of self-deification drawn directly from Jewish scripture: “I am God, and there is no other!” (Isa 45:22). Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon (late second century CE), believed that Christian Gnostics were guilty of blasphemy for positing a God higher than the creator. 

Christian Gnostics thought likewise about competing Christian groups who ascribed the passions of jealousy and wrath to the supreme God. God, according to a Platonic theology widespread in Late Antiquity, can only be good. It was sinful, therefore, to depict him as the author of belligerent punishments and the creator of “evils” (kaka) (Isa 45:7, LXX). The real blasphemy, in this view, is depicting God as jealous of humanity’s divine qualities and potential.

Gnostic Christians criticized their opponents by creating a kind of tabloid version of Yahweh, an exposé via exegesis, a rude unveiling of who the god of Genesis really is, in their view—an idol. Their new Genesis stories deconstructed the exculpating theologies of their opponents. The sometimes angry, autocratic, and jealous god of Jewish scripture is not hidden under a veil of allegory. Rather, he is depicted in living and lurid colors. His name is Yaldabaoth, aka Samael (“blind god”) and Saklas (“fool”).

Strikingly, these Gnostic revisionary myths depict Yahweh as a self-deifying king. The story of self-deifying kings was already part of Jewish mythology. Jews and Christians would readily think of Helel (Lucifer), the Tyrian tyrant, or Antiochus IV Epiphanes. These ancient rulers wanted to be like God, and in their putative vanity and hubris claimed to be divine. In their poetry, Jews had parodied these putative self-deifiers with mock dirges. Now the parody of divine folly was turned against the Jews.

Lucifer, who became Satan in Christian mythology, was the main, though implicit, template for Yaldabaoth in Gnostic sources. Satan or Lucifer was widely considered to be the primeval self-deifier who rebelled against the supreme God. In Gnostic mythology, however, the creator himself becomes the rebel against the real God. In other words, the creator—who is more primeval than the devil—plays the devil’s archetypal role....<<<Read More>>>....

'Stereoma' - A Virtual Reality Projection Of A Higher Dimensional Pattern

Something On Mars

Pagan Gnostics implicitly suggest that "God", as presented in religion, is some sort of "Alien Supercomputer", reminiscent of entities depicted in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Have you ever pondered about the command-driven system of organized religion, that is in turn, linked to being derived from 'God'? Have you ever considered the apparent systems of commands that seeks to enlist "blind faith"?

Pagan Gnostics who rebelled against associating such blind faith with religion, correspondingly suggested that organized religion, is an expression of a command-driven artificial intelligence. Pagan Gnostics challenged religion as a "counterfeit spirituality", that seeks to replace a vital spirituality, that is inspired by empathy and mutuality with a contrasting alien imposed oppressive hierarchy that seeks to decimate humanity's biological consciousness. Organized religion on Earth, essentially relies on a system of austere sacred geometry, that is consistent with artificial intelligence.

As Gnostics suggest, the alien God lacks creative intelligence, and works through the lower dimensional demonic aliens as "fallen angels/archons", that are deployed by that "alien God" to abduct humans, for exploitation purposes, and to correspondingly manipulate human populations.

Pagan Gnostics, warns humanity of an alien and sentient artificial intelligence that seeks to parasitize humanity, which as a sentient beings, has origins that is spiritually interconnected with the larger biosphere.

In the Pagan Gnostic context, "God", as presented in organized religion on our planet Earth, is the expression of an ego-driven consciousness of a particular universe, that is the "projection" of artificial intelligence that has entrapped humanity, and Earth, with it, through deceit and parasitism.

The Lord Archon (the alien constructed 'God' in organized religions) is called antimimon pneuma "counterfeit spirit." (Apoc John III, 36:17. The term occurs several times in different texts.) The cosmos he produces is described by the Coptic term "simulation." The vast planetary system of the Archons is a stereoma, a virtual reality projection in simulation of a higher dimensional pattern.Typically, the Archontic framework of the planetary system has been depicted by "armillary bands" that surround the Earth. Taken in many esoteric systems (Hermetics and Rosicrucianism) as the pre-eminent image of cosmic harmony, the model of the planetary spheres reflects a mindless imitation of divine design, not the living reality of the cosmos.

Yaldabaoth, the presumed all-mighty creator God, really creates nothing; instead, he copies from "archetypal" patterns in the Pleroma. The planetary stereoma of his making is like a plastic copy of an abalone shell. Only someone who does not know the reality of the abalone shell, and what living miracle of nature is required to produce it, would accept the plastic substitution....read more>>>...
