I simultaneously entertain multiple views on the Demiurge, without settling on one alone, as I’m committed to exploring them all as potential truth, allowing time, reality and ongoing life experience to sort the matter out for me over time.
In my Gnostic Idealism, the Demiurge is:
-the shadow cast by matter
-the veil over the real
-the echo of a world unexamined
-the custodian of surface-level truth
-the script we didn't write
-the story power tells us
-the ideology we mistake for reality

We wait, starving for moments of High Magick to inspire us, but life is already full of common enchantments just waiting for our alchemists' eyes to notice.

Do you know a Spanish speaker who might be interested in learning about classic Hermeticism, Gnosticism, etc.? My friend Selbyd Ochoa creates quality Spanish-language content on these topics for his YouTube channel, "fragmentos del todo" (fragments of the whole)."

fragmentos del todo
This is not a channel — it is a threshold. A space where the unseen reveals itself through sacred laws and ancient scripture. Beneath the surface of symbols and silence, the Divine speaks in patterns ...

the powers that be are an illusion. the true power is in the birdsong and shifting clouds and in the challenges of light and dark. it is a constant turning of desires and of return. the night inverted shows threads woven there, which when pulled leave a space, in which you will find the dream keys.

We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about.

If you observe nature and perceive only matter, your attention doesn’t penetrate deeply enough. No matter what’s in your field of vision, quiet your mind, put aside your ideas and let your vision merge completely with the objects of your sense perception: all you will see is God. 🙏

The Essential Message of Alchemy
Universal intersubjectivity. 🙏
i cut the tongue out from theism and stitched a new mouth: not Above, not All-is-God, but in each other. God breathes through my atoms; I bruise and God winces. We co-author the pulse. No monarch, no puddle, just a feedback cosmos where transcendence and immanence kiss without swallowing whole.

Is your craving for the Real
greater than the desire
to be seen by others
in some particular way
or is the path overgrown,
obscured by the ego's tangle
of endless self
admiration?

The fruit of meditation is not the absence of thoughts, but the fact that thoughts cease to harm us. Once enemies, they become friends.

Go sweep out
the chamber of your heart
make it ready
to be the dwelling of the Beloved
When you depart, love will enter
In you void of yourself
God will display his beauty
