Joey PhippsGUEST
1:04
Everything that's out there in the universe, you put it all together into one thing, that's a human being.
Joey PhippsGUEST
1:11
It seems that the sun was literally Sophia, the Gnostic mother of the Demiurgos, which is all physical matter.
Joey PhippsGUEST
1:20
If we have the divine spark of Sophia, that means we're capable of becoming, dare I say, gods ourselves.
Joey PhippsGUEST
1:27
So that monkey right there might not only be mankind, that might also be the Demiurgos figure as a personified being.
Joey PhippsGUEST
1:34
What if black holes are just as they've been named, holes in the fabric of space, and it leaks into something that we can't see or even understand? If you take the description of the Gnostic map of reality and then apply it to the physics idea of our universe being on the surface of a black hole, that's what that is.
Joey PhippsGUEST
1:55
We are miniature monads of the original monad, and we can change anything we want.

Joey PhippsGUEST
13:45
Literally, the atomized universe is what gave birth to planets.
Joey PhippsGUEST
13:49
So Ioldebaoth would be the flesh, mineral world.
Tom ThompsonHOST
69:06
Yeah, the Ouroboros, the snake swallowing its own tail.
Tom ThompsonHOST
69:09
Yeah, so he's referencing, obviously, like his older books and some of the Demiurge realms return to those frequencies with Yaldabaoth.
Tom ThompsonHOST
69:21
Interesting.
Tom ThompsonHOST
69:22
Infinite awareness itself on the upper echelons.
Mario GarzaGUEST
57:03
There is no such thing as having a partner.
Mario GarzaGUEST
57:05
Reminds me very much of the Gnostic sort of belief system, right? Sophia, and the Demiurge, and things like that.
Mario GarzaGUEST
57:09
So, uh, this idea that the feminine universe, the primordial mother, never had a partner, because no such partner ever existed until she created it, until she birthed it.
Mario GarzaGUEST
57:19
And this gets into some of that veil symbolism that, you know, veiled within her was this masculine sort of creation, uh, the light of the world, the, uh, solar child, if you will.
Miguel ConnerHOST
3:09
My name is Miguel Connor, and I am your pompatus of gnosis, that smell of Kolitas rising through the air of a world gone mad.
Miguel ConnerHOST
3:20
Welcome on this Mars Day, and welcome to s- the Demiurge's Nightmare, as you will find out today.
Miguel ConnerHOST
3:28
So not much else.
Miguel ConnerHOST
3:29
Uh, I definitely have some housekeeping, but that shall just have to wait.
Miguel ConnerHOST
7:21
Wow.
Rory Campbell DelgadoGUEST
7:21
The cosmos are alive.
Rory Campbell DelgadoGUEST
7:23
Um, you know, he explained the Demiurge, and he explained the Archons and all...
Rory Campbell DelgadoGUEST
7:29
Oh, yeah, he explained it all to me because, uh, it was all real important to me.

NathanNARRATOR
36:27
Unheeded swept the ages over the deep With uncorrosive haste, for fleeting Time, The potent pulse of ever-evolving change, By man alone in his finite conceit And vanity of being is bid stay Lest it should lull the momentary itch He hoards within his pulses.
NathanNARRATOR
36:54
Ages rolled Their empty circles; and meanwhile the deeps, Effervescent by attraction of their parts, Were wild in ferment, and their atoms dumb Grew plastic 'neath the Spirit's thoughtless will, And waxing sentient bodied forth a God, Huge Demiurge, who revelled in the sway Of primal consciousness, the paradox Of erstwhile Night and Chaos with her Aeons.
NathanNARRATOR
37:30
And thus awaking from insentient sleep Unto a dazzling realm of knowing, he, The master of the meaning of the spell Of 'I am I' that baffles circumspection, Marvelled at all; and as a babe might laugh To hear the rattle of his toy new-bought, He was ecstatic with the tingling thrill And thoughtful quiver of each nerve; his pulse Woke tense vibrations in his awful brain, And each concordant unto each they swayed His being unto longings that were sounds.
NathanNARRATOR
38:15
And somewhat thus the crescent God might muse:

David PoynerGUEST
30:45
Uh, Sophia managed to hide some divine sparks within humanity, uh, so that we could find those supposed, uh, sparks of light within us, uh, and go inside ourselves and basically self-ascend above the Demiurge.
David PoynerGUEST
31:05
And as you say, this is just a reworking of the Garden of Eden.
David PoynerGUEST
31:11
It's, um...
EdwardHOST
14:01
Yeah, and purple is Nag Hammadi, and, uh, normally we read Nag Hammadi, but just for 40 episodes or so, we're gonna take a little break and, and read, um, the Acts of Thomas in India.
EdwardHOST
14:12
But when we were reading Nag Hammadi, and we were reading about the Demiurge, and Yaldabaoth, and Adam being Frankensteined by Yaldabaoth's, uh, thugs, and then, you know, accidentally getting the spirit of Sophia, uh, uh, breath by way of, of Yaldabaoth, by way of the, uh...
EdwardHOST
14:33
So I decided to read some Orthodoxy.
EdwardHOST
14:35
So, and that's kind of like there's a joke in that, because the Gnostics divide everything into Gnostic and Orthodox.
BrandonHOST
48:45
Once the, you know, d- to balance out, wh- And we find it in our mythology of ordering all the chaos together from the an- unmanifest to the m- to the manifest.
BrandonHOST
48:56
Um, we've talked about it a bunch in the Plato's Demiurge, is that's what he...
BrandonHOST
48:59
It's all there.
BrandonHOST
49:01
Now I just need to order it all together, this crazy co- combobulation of things out there.
Sias ParsonsGUEST
22:53
The people that were, that were accessing the knowing and then said, "If you touch on this, you know, you, you, you are evil.
Sias ParsonsGUEST
23:01
If you take anything outside of what we're telling you in this book, you're evil." And I have, I mean, I, I've talked about it before, but what I've been told by my, my, uh, councils a- and, and what we've gone through is that we are moving through a time of one solar consciousness that was what you would call, you know, the, the, the, the creator of the Demiurge, Yaldabaoth, all the, you know, the, the, the Baal, the, the, the dominance gods of that era that they talk about.
Sias ParsonsGUEST
23:33
That solar consciousness has been transposed by another higher s- solar consciousness that's helping us evolve through this time period.
The Cajun KnightHOST
23:41
Oh, wow.
The Cajun KnightHOST
24:01
Um, so I've, we've done shows on, uh, you know, a lot of the Gnostic stories, and whenever you start, you know, looking at Yahweh, you know, the, the, the God of the Old Testament, like-
Sias ParsonsGUEST
24:12
Mm-hmm
The Cajun KnightHOST
24:12
... that is 100% Demiurge, right? Like-
Sias ParsonsGUEST
24:14
Oh, yeah
