[theory]Archons block souls from escaping the material world. The test is whether people act on their passion/flame or fear. [/theory]
Archons are prison guards that keep people enslaved to this planet untill they obtained illumination
S1 E4 – 17:00 – Mysteries of the Knights Temple
Archons (from the Greek ἄρχων, árchōn, meaning ‘ruler’, plural ἄρχοντες, árchontes), in Gnosticism and related belief systems, are considered the creators of the physical universe.
The Archontics, Ophites, and Sethians, as well as in the texts of the Nag Hammadi library, archons are depicted as sovereigns associated with each of the seven planets, blocking souls from escaping the material world.
Their name’s political implication suggests a rejection of established governance, viewed as inherently corrupt and incapable of offering true salvation.
In Manichaeism, archons govern a domain within the “Kingdom of Darkness” and collectively form the Prince of Darkness.
In “The Reality of the Rulers,” archons are described as having a hermaphroditic appearance with beast-like faces.

- Yaldabaoth is sometimes used interchangeably with Abraxas, notably in the works of Carl Jung. In The Red Book, Jung wrote:“Abraxas is the god who is both good and evil, light and darkness, life and death. He is the god of the fullness of life, and he is the god of transformation. Yaldabaoth is the same god, but he is also the god of the unconscious mind. He is the god of our shadow selves, and he is the god of our fears and our desires. We must confront and integrate Yaldabaoth in order to achieve wholeness.”

- Pistis Sophia supported Sabbaoth in his rebellion against his father, so she established the kingdom for Sabbaoth over everyone that he might dwell above the twelve gods of chaos receiving great authority against all the forces of chaos. Hence, his name is derived from Sabbath, which corresponds to the 7th Heaven of rest that he rules indicating either rest from his struggle or as the one who will not rest on his father’s creation but change it. The Old Testament phrase Yahweh sabaoth or ‘Jehovah of Armies’ was thought a proper name, hence Jupiter Sabbas or Sabazios.
