A Demented God - The ‘Fallen One’
According to the Nag Hammadi, 'HAL', or the 'illusory' planetary realms of our Solar system, had its Creator - the Demiurge. He was the deity eventually called God by monotheistic patriarchal religions. The Gnostics (and later Cathars) were violently removed wherever they appeared, for pursuing this alternative view to what became the ‘established’ monotheistic faiths? According to the Gnostic texts, ‘HAL’ (the Demiurge) was an angry, demented, impostor-god who envied human divine imagination – the Anthropos. He is the beast’ often depicted as a ‘rampant lion’ whose minions are the ‘inorganic’ Archons, often described in Gnostic texts as resembling an aborted fetus. The key point to emphasise here is that the Demiurge should be seen as the ‘master of mimicry’ and the architect of ‘manipulating perceptions’. The Solar system, has been changed and ‘altered’ in appearance by the mind the Gnostics called the Demiurge. The Gnostic Bible and the texts On the Origin of the World describe events concerning the arrival and demeanor of the Demiurge. It says:
Now when the outer heavens had been consolidated along with their forces and all their administration, the Demiurge became insolent. And he was honored by an army of angels who gave blessing and honor to him. And for his part he was delighted and boasted to them, ‘Lo, I have no need of anyone else, no other gods’. He said, ‘It is I who am god, and no others exist apart from me.1
The above text is the perfect description of the ‘arrogant’ (too-often psychopathic) archetype; it is also the ‘fire and brimstone’ God we find throughout the Old Testament. His angels are not angels, but Archons, which is where we get the word ‘Arch-Angel’ and much more besides. This God is the 'Fallen One', the Demiurge or Yaldabaoth.
The ‘Fallen One’
Gnostic schools of thought associated the Demiurge with Satan, Ahriman, Saklas, Samael and Choronzon. For the Gnostics, the Demiurge was behind the creation of Adam (Primal Man) and this fits with my long-held contention that the force referred to as the Archons manipulated human genetics to create a body-type (biological computer-type) that most suited their goal of human subjugation. The Demiurge is also known in the Gnostic texts as the ‘Lord Archon’ and quoted as saying: ‘Come let us create a man according to the image of God and according to our likeness.’ The planet Saturn, El, and the biblical Elohim, are a variation of the ‘Gnostic Lord Archon’, or ‘Architect’, too.

Under the instruction of this Architect God-figure (who believes he is the creator of all he beholds), along with the Archons, they are said to build planetary systems (realities), excluding the sun and our ‘original earth’. The Demiurge/Yaldabaoth instead creates a ‘fake earth’ (a fractual copy), or 'matrix world' based on the original earth - Sophia. The Archons (and reptillians) mimic other intelligence, planets to alter the unique geometry (fractals of light) to replicate ‘the heavens’ in their god’s liking. Gnostic texts say the Archons, 'guided by the Demiurge, constructed an illusory reality, purposely made to ‘mimic’ the original organic reality born of the Aeon Goddess, Sophia'. We know the place well. It is the very troubled earth reality we call ‘everyday life’ and its source is all too often influenced by 'astral' forces associated with its 'creator'.
In the Aboriginal Dreamtime, the archon forces I am describing are called the ‘Mimics’; these were said to look like giant frogs or lizards. The illusory earth-world born of Sophia’s ‘dreaming’ and then copied by the ‘Mimics’ (Archons), was said to have ‘changed’ in appearance ‘four times’. The rise and fall of golden ages and ancient eras are the different worlds described by the Hopi and other native peoples. I feel these changes were ‘instigated’ by the archons, or Mimics, I am describing. We are currently in the time of another ‘world change’, as I will show later in the book. The Gnostics also say humanity remains caught up between two realities: the original earth, and the bad copy created out of what the Gnostic texts call HAL, forged by the architect Creator-God (see figure).

In some versions of the Gnostic myth, the spiritual aeon, Sophia, imitates God's (Demiurge/Yaldabaoth) actions in performing an emanation of her own, without the ‘prior approval’ of other Aeons in the Pleroma (see my previous blog). The texts say this results in a crisis within the Pleroma; one that leads to the appearance of the Demiurge, who they call Yaldabaoth, a ‘serpent with a lion’s head’. In one narrative, this ‘god’ is at first hidden (some say rejected) by Sophia but subsequently escapes, stealing a portion of divine power from her in the process. Thus the Gnostic Sethians believe that there is a true God and a false God. The latter is the Demiurge, which is classical Greek for ‘master’ craftsman-creator. According to some Gnostic traditions, the ‘master’ craftsman created the world following God’s command. However, the malevolent Demiurge then usurped the true god’s position. I personally feel that the Demiurge is a ‘personification’ of the ‘Fall’, or a computer virus-like form which spread across planetary fields (our Solar system), altering the souls of planets, and aliens (Archons) alike.

A Chimera was Born
The Chimera in Greek mythology, a monstrous, fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia of Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal, can be seen as another symbol of the Demiurge (in image only). The Chimera is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back and a snake-like tail often ending with a snake’s head. It was said to be one of the offspring of Typhon, Echidna, and a sibling of monsters such as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra (see figure). In Medieval art, the Chimera of antiquity was forgotten, but chimerical figures appear as embodiments of the deceptive, inverted forces of nature.

With a three-part body, symbolic of the lion-like Demiurge, the goat of Mendes (Pan) and the snakes or Hydra, associated with the Cobra deities, the Naga, it is the ultimate rendition of chaos. The Gnostic text, Hypostasis of the Archons, alludes to the lion-like Demiurge and the veil between the spirit and material world:
A Veil exists between the world above and the realms that are below; and shadow came into being beneath the veil. Some of the shadow [dark matter] became [nuclear] matter, and was projected apart. And what Sophia created became a product in the matter, like an aborted fetus. And it assumed a plastic shape molded out of shadow, and became an arrogant beast resembling a lion.2
I go into great deatil regarding the connections to the lion-like Demiurge in Orion's Door.
God of Distortion
The information is also a ‘distortion’ of the ‘true projection’, which in the Gnostic sense, is connected to what I described earlier as the Upper Aeons, or ‘Superconsciousness’. The distorted information, instead, is projected from the face of something that has confounded and confused the human mind since ancient priests wrote all manner of scriptures dedicated to this deity.

It is ‘self-aware’, as all consciousness is, but this face is the heart of all forms of ‘schism’ in our reality. The insanity of our world, the wars, famine, pain, suffering, money system and all religion are holographic projections of this schism or distortion (see figure). The Gnostic Demiurge (and archons) is the force that gives life to the ‘distortion’ as it manifests in the physical world and the many layers of madness we humans have come to accept as ‘reality’. It is Chimera-like, and a monster in its own right. Many of the Titans recorded in myth, from Echidna to Prometheus, can be seen as expressions of ‘darker chaotic forces’ constructed by the Gnostic Demiurge. The outer planets of our solar system, Pluto, Uranus and Saturn (the Titans) are celestial bodies, personified in myths and stories connected to the Fall, which also meant a ‘fall in frequency’, from higher consciousness to a lesser state of awareness.
Our perception creates our reality, our 3D world matrix. Seeing invisible worlds, or capturing
imagery that speaks of alternative dimensions (beyond the walls of the matrix) to the reality governed by the five senses, can be seen in various art forms. I have endeavoured to make art that goes beyond the 3D world (holographic matrix).
William Blake summed it up when he wrote:
This Lifes dim Windows of the Soul
Distorts the Heavens from Pole to Pole
And leads you to Believe a Lie
When you see with not thro’ the Eye. 3
The seat of creation, characterised as God in Abrahamic religions, could also relate to the Orion Nebula and its black hole. The Orion Nebula is a 2D version of our 3D world, a living ‘eye’ full of information, perceiving or projecting our reality (realities).
