In my view Yahweh (Anu) is a deity who reached a high level of evolution but then went off the rails. He preferred power and control over wisdom. Yahweh was once a respected king of the Anunnaki. He occupied the throne of Heaven and ruled over a vast empire. But once his empire came to incorporate the Earth he became possessed by an insatiable lust for power and delusions of grandeur. His style of rulership became increasingly authoritarian and heavy-handed and this only served to alienate many other gods. The result of this was Enki's decision to side with humans (Enki's own children) against Yahweh's tyranny and obscurantism as well the the rebellion of the Watchers who sought to abandon Yahweh's tyrannical empire (i.e., abandon their posts in Heaven) and create a new civilization of their own here on Earth.Winston wrote: ↑May 27th, 2022, 5:16 am@Lucas88
Do you think Yahweh is an alien? If he has bad character then how did he evolve to become a deity? Don't you have to be good to evolve up into a deity? Or is he an immortal being with advanced ET technology, but not a deity? Does Yahweh rule India and China too? Or just the western world? Does he rule non-Christian countries too? So he is the Demiurge?
Yahweh rules the whole world from the shadows since his faction won the previous war and banished Enki and the Watchers as per the Book of Enoch but he does so in conjunction with other malevolent extraterrestrials who make up his sordid clique. I believe that his faction consists of three classes of beings: conservative Anunnaki who sided with Yahweh (i.e., "angels"), the Reptilians, and the Greys. The latter two classes are often reported in UFO abduction cases, especially the Greys. While Yahweh is the archontic ruler of the Earth and the hidden god of the New World Order, it is quite possible that he has delegated specific regions to certain archons under his command. This might explain cultural differences between the different dystopian societies on Earth (i.e., Japan might be ruled by a different subgroup of archons to the US, for example) but I don't know much about this.
I'm of the view that Jesus is nothing more than a program of deception created by the archons for the enslavement and sabotage of the Gentile soul. The doctrine of his sacrifice on the cross is a Jewish black magic ritual. His teachings in the New Testament are nothing more than a slave philosophy which teaches believers to love their enemies, turn the other cheek and obey their masters as good slaves. The Jesus program was peddled to the Gentile nations by archontically possessed Jews like Paul of Tarsus and other evildoers like him.
Enki is the only liberator of humanity. He was slandered and demonized for defending us. Jesus on the other hand is just a Jewish fraud.
I am not a Gnostic in the strict sense but rather an Enkist. I believe that the Gnostic myth of Sophia was simply a story which the Gnostics came up with to explain how the demiurge came about. Gnostics generally believe that Yahweh is the creator of a false and corrupt material world but Enkists don't believe that at all. Rather we believe that Yahweh is simply a lesser god who invaded the Earth and turned it into his own dystopia. He's not the creator of matter. He's just an off-planet warlord who masquerades as the creator due to his own megalomania. We don't believe that Yahweh is the botched creation of Sophia either. We believe that he's simply an alien king who went too far into the dark side due to his obsession with power as I previously mentioned.Winston wrote: ↑May 27th, 2022, 5:16 amWhat about the Sophia myth in Gnosticism? Was Sophia a real goddess? What happened to her? Did she become the Earth itself? That's what John Lamb Lash said, but his interpretation of Gnosticism is way off and different from other Gnostics. I don't know how credible he is, but he sounds kinda arrogant in his podcasts. So I am wary of his views. What do you think? I've never understood how if Sophia is the mother of the Demiurge, why she can't discipline him like a mother disciplining her baby? The Gnostics don't address that.
I've read John Lash's Not in His Image. You're right. John Lash's vision of Gnosticism is very different from other interpretations of Gnosticism. His quality of writing is good and he seems scholarly but I get the feeling that he takes a lot of creative liberties with his vision.
