Do you know the definition of "Demiurge"?
I've learned my knowledge from reading, and I also attend lectures at a gnostic temple. I didn't say the "Creator" is a conglomeration of human energies. Read what i said. I said the creator of this material world was 'humans'. What humans consider as actually being God is a manifestation of human energies, and that the true "God" is something we can never know or realize because it is far away from this world.
Oh, and my reference was already made by Hermes story, on the first page. That is a reference to alot of what i said, I don't know about the whole God thing, I'm sure a little research into jung would satisfy that. or tulpas. Look up the Auric being i guess. That's a part of it, so to speak. I like to think of the bigger manifestation of energy god as the "Higher auric being" like how we have a "Higher self". Just makes sense when you compare their stories.
This was found through a simple search on "Gnosticism" and is a very basic page on it...

"The Gnostics taught that the Demiurge was Yehovah from the Old Testament. Jesus, on the other hand, they believe came from God and the Holy Spirit, not from the Demiurge."
Easy...
