I have a question and don't know where to ask so I just ask here:

In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDsXuoOA9ME) Dr. Robert Gilbert speaks about exactly what you spoke about in your videos, about how duality is a misconception or deception, about the spiritual side and the material side and the balance in the middle (he refers to the tree of life). Everything basically lines up perfectly with your teachings except for the fact that he put the according spirits on opposing sides. He says the luciferic, light bringing beings are on the spirit side (left hand path) and puts the ahrimanic beings, the Demiurge on the material, right hand path side. He even goes into how the ahrimanic beings make you forget that spirits exist and only make you focus on the material world (which makes sense in my eyes as the demiurge created the material world) while the luciferic ones don't really understand the material world/only see it as a place of unnecessary suffering and make you so focused on the spiritual side that you forget the material one (e.g. not doing your dishes, not paying bills etc.) He also says how both extremes are bad and puts Christ in the middle.

So Why did you put Lucifer on the right ("making world unfaithful to spirits/universal freedom") and Ahriman/Yaldabaoth on the left ("make humans depend on them/lasting dominion)?

Isnt it because of male/female polarities? I get very confused also, because when it is said that the male polarity is the right column is bugs me because it doesnt make sense for me. For me the right way should be left column male and right column female... Hochma (Sophia) is Female... Netzach is associated with Venus... while Hod and Geburah gives me a male feeling as Mercury or Hermes in Hod and Mars or Ares in Geburah... so its weird for me... maybe that is the same thing here... maybe it should be this way.

Also I just noticed, on the actual cosmogram you did it right (or like Dr. Robert Gilbert explained it in the video I send you). The snake (standing for the luciferic beings) is on the same side as jesus's ascension and the light orb in the background, standing for the spirit side obviously. The lion headed serpent (demiurge) is on the Sam's side as jesus's birth, with the dark orb in the background, standing for the material side. But in the actual tree of life, they are the other way around. Spirit left, material right. But at least the beings are connected properly, in your video you said luciferic beings want to free the world, make them disloyal to spirit and the ahrimanic beings (demiurge) want to control it and make us dependent on them.

So why did you do it right on the cosmogram but not in the video ? I'm so confused ^^ anyway, thank you for your content. This is part 2 of a long comment. Hopefully there's no part 3 :P

Why is the caduceus above Lucifer? In the myth i immediately think of, Hermes throws it between 2 serpants to stop them fighting. This to me really symbolized that balance thing. And if the things above their heads are what balances them, why the pentagram above yaldabaoth?

Your cosmogram is symbolically similar to Jonathan Pageau's cosmic image. Love it.

Could you maybe update this to the latest version of it? I saw you using another version in your Abraxas video.

I’ve never seen you mention it, but the four corners are the tetramorph, representing the four evangelists. Matthew The King, Lion, Mark the lowly Servant, OX, Luke The Son of Man, Man, and John the eagle.

It’s derived from the four living creatures in Ezekiel

the creatures from Ezekiel immediately jumped out at me too but then i noticed that they can also be interpreted as the fixed signs of the zodiac. leo the lion, taurus the bull, aquarius the water bearer (a man), and scorpio which is sometimes represented as an eagle
