I am thankful for the opportunity to share.

These are the types of ideas that need worldwide attention. The very idea of the Demiurge-Yaldabaoth is still very foreign to most people. You can find loads of content about every other deity out there of every other religion or worldview, especially those that he's associated with, but I'm basically having to go to the darkest reaches of the internet like I'm going to the ends of the universe for the Infinity Stones, just to even get a comprehensive idea as to who and what he is. The flying spaghetti monster is more "well-known", conceptually speaking than the Demiurge, and I find that disparity absolutely hilarious and simultaneously disappointing. I'm just surprised because as thought-provoking as these concepts are, I can imagine the sheer polarity of these concepts should bring considerable attention, but here we are, the few and far. The very word heretic means able to choose in Greek I believe, so when people refuse to look at the gnostic texts that we're basically only just now discovering and PROPERLY translating with the same regard as their "canonical" 66 books, we'll still be in this cycle, and still far from settling these Saturnalian dilemmas. Your earlier work on memes heavily ties back to this too. The algorithms controlling these platforms shouldn't be understated either. It is the truth that sets us free. Thank you for your content, it has profoundly aided me in my journey of discernment, as I know it has helped many others, and I am thankful for the chance to share.

Beware of dreams of flying. May God continue to bless your insight, Gryphon.

What do you think about this: There are ideological groups who are fanatically against any sort of human pain,-(judging others causes pain, bad words cause pain, having a certain standard they deem immoral causes pain). I think this people might, with actual good intentions, bring about the yaldabaoth spirit/system in this world. A world where there is no pain, no knowledge of good and evil, everyone equal and "happy". Litteraly its a return to the garden of eden.

Keep writing amazing work!

I see a simultaneous yearning for revolution and oblivion in that. It's like the worst of them both.

This is why the traditionalist Catholics became marginalized in the Church. Why do they dress as if they’re attending a funeral?

It almost feels like they are. Christianity has to get better at finding the middle way between pandering to mass culture and never changing at all. Neither of those paths goes anywhere.
