Is the Demiurge and this entire material existence ultimately God trapped within its own ignorance?
Gnosticism says the Source is complete, all knowing, and exists outside time. So Sophia’s fall must have already been known .it couldn’t have been a surprise.
Sophia is described as an Aeon and a reflection or aspect of the Source itself. Not a separate being. So Sophia’s curiosity and imbalance was Source’s own wisdom reaching beyond itself.
The Demiurge emerged from that imbalance,
also therefore within God
We carry Sophia’s spark
also God.
So is what’s actually happening this?
a spark of God is trapped within God’s own ignorance, and that spark is fighting its way back through all of us to the Pleroma?
