The demiurge (Greek demiurgos,[1] “craftsman”[2]) is the being who created the world in Gnosticism. The Gnostics identified him with the god of the Old Testament. The Gnostic scriptures portray him as ignorant, malicious, and utterly inferior to the true God who sent Christ to earth to save humankind from the demiurge’s evil world.

The demiurge is given many names in the Gnostic scriptures, but the three most common ones are Yaldabaoth (also spelled “Ialdabaoth”), Samael, and Saklas. “Saklas” comes from the Aramaic word for “fool,” and “Samael” is Aramaic for “Blind God” or “God of the Blind.”[3] The meaning of “Yaldabaoth” is uncertain. The Gnostic text On the Origin of the World fancifully translates it as “Youth, move over there,” but no word or string of words that sounds like “Yaldabaoth” meant that in any ancient Mediterranean language.[4] “Yaldabaoth” is somewhat close to “child of chaos” in Aramaic, but that’s still a stretch,[5] as is the intuitively plausible suggestion that it could be a condensed form of “Yahweh, Lord of Sabbaths.”[6]

I am aligned with the Cathars, this totally gels with me, and it is the main explanation of why I hate physical existence so much.
An NDE where I was knocked to the Otherside and shown my personal Akashic Records and allowed to remember SOME of them, is another. It's like I was only allowed to bring enough knowledge with me to make me miserable, and I wouldn't give ANY of it up. I mean, hey! At least I know I have something to look forward to after my self-imposed prison sentence of 'life' is up. I also specifically asking for 'ONE LAST ROUND', so this is it. I even remember why I asked for it. I had something to prove to myself. Well, I've done all I wanted to do; and I'm still here.

I have a feeling that the only reason I am here is that I haven't seen the change of ages yet. I haven't seen the present crash and burn. I'd be lying if I said I'd shed any tears for the here and now getting Cosmically nuked.
