>the gnostic lenses of the omnipresent evil demiurge may be an externalized symbol of our primordial selves
All Theology is rooted in Astrotheology, the Demiurge is mainly Saturn and not some Psychological Jungian Archetype, and Wonka is the Hat Man btw.

Yaldabaoth's Snake and Lion motifs came from earlier deities like the Greek Typhon and Egyptian Aker, the Greeks and Egyptians were Syncretic civilizations that intermixed.

Don't confuse Reddit Gnosticism (le evil flying serpet lion) with actual Gnosticism, the word Gnostic comes from the Greek Word γνῶσις (Gnosis) or knowledge, which back then was associated with Astronomy and Astrology because ancient civilizations were Agrarian and needed to chart the cycles of seasons through the stars.

You interpret religious texts at face value rather than an esoteric context, Christ is the Sun (of God)

Peter's name comes from the Greek Πέτρος (Petros) which means Rock, and guess what kind of shiny Rock they like...

>he called peter the same thing
Yes, Satan means adversary but the word also has ties to Saturn, our goat headed Satan today also got that motif from Capricorn, the sign ruled by Saturn.

Baal is a title, Hadad is Jupiter.

>how would that make you escape the demiurge?
That's the fun part, there is no escape, Samsara is Nirvana.

Think about it.
Escape? Where to? Will you be absorved by some "Pleroma" and become an organelle of some higher being? Or will you let your Soul roam the Abyss and Eternities?

>why is matter or the world something that binds you to the false and not the true God?
Matter is temporary and subject to entropy which causes suffering, God is eternal.

>the concept that the world is fundamentally flawed for the monad was shattered into pluralistic units, each one of them containing the spark that must be unified for oneness again.
Unity is all there is...

And don't conflate Gnosticism with Frankism, Frankists twisted the teachings/definitions.
