Introduction
Soma,
Psyche, and
Pneuma form a
tripartite (which means three-parts) view of human nature according to ancient Greek philosophers and biblical texts (1 Thessalonians 5:23 or Hebrews 4:12), meaning body, soul, and spirit. A brief summary of the tripartite refers to the following:
Soma - physical aspect of the
human body, connected to earth
Psyche - soul,
intellectual aspect, connected to earth, the material realm
Pneuma -
spirit, eternal aspect, connected to the divine, inside and outside of all dimensions
According to Gnostic teachings, the tripartite has a specific origin. In the Pleroma - the highest realm above all dimensions, also known as pure, all encompassing, unadulterated consciousness - the commonly known emanation (which means above all gods), Sophia gave birth to a child, without informing her divine consort, from a deep desire to bear fruit, like earthly women often experience. The result was giving birth to a child that is known by the Gnostics by many names, as the:
Demiurge - Often described as a lion-faced or monstrous being
Saklas - An Aramaic language term meaning '
fool'
Samael - Translated (also in Aramaic) as the '
Blind God' or '
God of the Blind'
Old Testament Identification - Many strict Gnostic teachings equated him with the jealous or wrathful creator god of the Old Testament, setting him in direct opposition to the loving God Jesus. [

The Demiurg with the head of a lion and body of a snake flanked by the moon and sun |
This Demiurge also is known under the name Yaldabaoth, that often is assumed to be the phonetic root of Yahweh. The Demiurge is a lesser god - foolish, blind and egotistic, a jealous god as is written in the Old Testament of the bible - that nevertheless possesses enough power to create the material realm, which is his celestial empire. In conjunction with the Archons - his army of - non-material warriors - he created humankind, that although his invention bore the shape of a human, that did not live, did not move and think. Until he received word from the Pleroma, the highest consciousness, to breathe his invention to life. The Demiurge immediately became aware, that had made a humongous, irreversible mistake by blowing his breath into the human body, that inserted the divine spark in humankind, that he could not undo, could not remove. Every human is in possession of this untouchable divine spark. The only thing the Demiurge could do, is to order his Archons, that exist in every human, to deceive, mislead and insert negative, destructive thoughts in the human mind to overpower the impulses of man's lasting divine spark, because he created mankind to obey him without questioning.
Adam, Eve and the Tree of Life in Paradise
The Demiurge placed mankind in 'Paradise, the Garden of Eden' and forbade man to eat from the Tree of Life, that would give his creation understanding of good and evil. And although mankind often is referred to with the masculine term 'man', the woman Eve, was spoken to by the snake, before Adam, to eat an apple from the Tree of Life. It is no wonder that since that moment, snakes are depicted as despicable creatures, that kill and deceive. But giving man the possibility to distinguish good from evil in no way is a capacity that is bad in any sense; relate this mental ability to yourself and to others, that have that insight or not and then decide if this a good or bad characteristic. According to some Gnostic teachings, the snake was to convince Eve to eat an apple of the Tree of Life, which she fortunately did, while shortly after suggesting that Adam to do the same. This decision of mankind enraged the Demiurge, because it endangered the authority of the Archons to completely control the human Psyche - this act of Eve and Adam jeopardised the Demiurge's total control over mankind, in which the snake, controlled by Sophia, played a crucial role. In eastern teachings the role of the snake is the complete opposite from what westerners are indoctrinated to think about the serpent. What the east sees in the snake - wisdom, intuition, intellect and consciousness - is much closer to the truth than what westerners are instructed to believe.

| The beautiful (so I imagine....) emanation Sophia |
It is the core of Gnostic teachings; the divine spark does not make humans believe, obey religious dogmas and creeds, but to KNOW, which is what Gnosis means in the Greek language. Knowing requires deep and independent searching for the truth, not relying on deceitful self installed authority, that is enforced upon earthly hierarchy, continuously pounding lies into the awareness of mankind actually, The best known diagram of this is the depiction of the pyramid, in which humans are at the bottom and the false god, the Demiurge, is at the top, also containing all layers in between, such as politics, CEO's and secret societies. But the image is incomplete; there is an upside down pyramid on top of the diagram, touching at the tips, that man is allowed to know. It contains all the dimensions and timelines outside of material understanding at the top of which is the pure, unadulterated consciousness of the Pleroma. Through Sophia, from which the word Philosophy is derived, the Pleroma placed the divine spark in every human being. It is the one aspect that the Demiurge can not remove or silence, it can only place opposition against it through his army of Archons, hoping it will be able to silence the impulses of the divine spark, which it can do in many people, but most certainly not in all. This is the reason why the Demiurge implemented hierarchy, a wide variety of religious belief systems, politics, censorship, poverty (so that man worries about survival only), violence (the perpetual wars of the US Deep state), mainstream media control, oppression, extortion, blackmail, plundering, murder, fear and deceit, among many other means, in which the enforced 'comfort zone' in the minds of man, that exclusively contains thoughts that support the Demiurge's nefarious strategy, while making anyone that is brave enough to think outside of the evil box an enemy of the common, imposed (by the Archons) understanding.
Evil in recent times
The recent outbreaks of covert and overt wars, against which autoritative organisation do nothing whatsoever, the dramatic global economic decline, wokism, gender destruction, manipulation of the stock exchange, poisoning of the environment, decease inflicting pandemics, perpetual lies of mainstream media, infusing of social media with AI controlled bots, that whack opposition and promote the Demiurge's monstrous agenda and increasing police agression, should make mankind, that was given the ability to make the distinction between good and evil, profoundly worried about the direction into which the world is heading. It definitely is not a good direction that the appointed and unappointed corrupt leaders of today's world are leading man towards. Be brave, think independently, listen to the divine spark inside you, consider what the Gnostics are trying to share with the people.

| The enigmatic deity Abraxas |
Postscript
It would be easy to judge Sophia giving birth to the flawed, lesser god of the Demiurge as a mistake and some even label it as a sin, which is induced by the Archons, but in this limited material dimension we have the possibility to see that events only have two or three causes, but in the immeasurable quantum field of higher dimensions, there are numerous options to choose from. This analogue to the perception of the mystic God Abraxas, who is able to oversee the extremes and everything in between them, while never judging or expressing his endless number of views. The world renown psychiatrist Karl Jung has broken the most part of his life, trying to understand the meaning of Abraxas' presence, which culminated in many papers and books, without arriving at a definitive conclusion. But when there are countless possibilities for Sophia to choose from, that humans are completely incapable to understand, it could very well be a deliberate act, which is reflected in persuading the Demiurge to breathe into the lifeless human being that he created, which added the unbreakable divine spark to mankind's essence. Sophia descended into this material realm herself, stripped of her power, forcing her to exist with pain, sadness and fear. Somewhere in the Nag Hammadi scripts it is written that Jesus Christ bestowed her with a part of her original powers. But by that time she had already experienced what it is to think and act as a human being with all their limitations and lack of divine wit. She chose to experience the pain and grief of mankind. By suggesting to breathe life into the seemingly dead human structure, that the Demiurge created, Sophia tricked the Demiurge - her son - into a situation that has the potential to end his rule over this dimension. It caused the Demiurge to rage without limit in the physical dimension he created, but in it the seed was planted against which he could not fight, but only place the screaming voice of the Archons to subdue the silent whisper of the divine spark. But against the human spirits, that have gone beyond the imposed limitations that the Demiurge enforced on the human race, the wicked god of the material realm, is powerless. This may be the true reason why Sophia did what she did and the humans, that have become aware of that, must not judge her from ignorance, but be thankful of what the profound essence of her difficult to grasp, but intentional act.
The complex, hostile relation between Sophia and her son the Demiurge in many respects resembles that of the goddess Gaia, who married a husband, who also was her son Uranus, who decided to imprison their monstrous children (the Cyclopes and Hecatonchires) inside her womb, causing her intense pain. Seeking revenge, Gaia forged an adamantine sickle and recruited her Titan son, Cronus, who ambushed and castrated Uranus. Uranus did not die, but his power was severed.... So, not all was well in the divine department and most likely still isn't, because the incest, intrigue, violence and murder probably continues to go on, since there is no one to punish and / or discipline them, other than their peers that whack them. Still, mankind worship and pray to these celestial villains, plausibly out of fear. It is a challenge to make sense out of the conduct of the so called 'gods', that behave comparable or worse than the sinister felonies that immoral humans commit.
Conclusion for the time being
Communicating with humility, an open mind and patience, according to Simone Weil, with open systems perhaps is the best way of communication. Spirituality should be open, fringe science is starting to open up to the limitless possibilities contained within the universal quantum field. As
Nassim Haramein's research indicated, each proton contains the mass of the entire universe and hence is a tiny, yet powerful black hole in a minute space, spinning at the speed of light and thus protons are not bound by linear / cyclical time, while shifting from dimension to dimension at a mind boggling pace. As the Goddess / emanation Sophia shared with mankind, there is a divine spark inside each human, which may be where science and spirituality meet, as open systems should. It is believed that black holes can contain a near infinite measure of information and since a needle tip contains trillions of atoms, there may be a multitude of universes inside of us, with which we can theoretically communicate through the divine spark bestowed up on mankind by Sophia. Should this be a proper conclusion, then each of us is blessed beyond measure.

Reading the above documents should keep you busy for some time, while teaching you things no religion or sect will ever do. They are not beliefs, but contain thoughts, alleged reports and impulses that should guide you to your inner divine spark. It is impossible to present the entirety of Gnosticism, because many have written about it from a personal perspective, often quoting others that also wrote from a personal consideration, which characterises the nature of 'historic' observations on which largely future views are founded. But in this dimension, most people think that such is all that we can work with. Fortunately, what we do not know and understand, our divine spark does, if we make an effort of listening to its wise whispers among the wicked clamours of the Archons.
Have a nice life, which is up to you actually.
