kahljorn - Thanks for the expanded definitions and the reading references; I will definitely (not "definately" - the word does not exist) check out the latter when I have time. Please note that it does make a difference whether or not it is the pronoun (capitalized) version of “Demiurge”, which is the connotation I have been using in context with its usage in reference to Gnosticism. It ought to be said, if there are sects of Gnosticism which assert that humans are co-creators with the Demiurge; I will go out of my way to identify and ignore and/or stay far away from them. I think what’s egotistical is to presume that homo sapiens plays some special role in the “creation of this world”, other than the realms directly at our disposal, i.e. Earth and its environment, etc. It also seems you are saying that the “Archon” or Demiurge is created/manifested by humans, which is equally perplexing. It’s like saying we created God; which is all but atheistic. I don’t see how Gnosticism, being theistic, could logically support this stance. Nevermind, I’ll read up and save commenting for now. Thanks!
