Maybe this is the story that was taken out of the Bible or out of the Gnostic teachings, and this is the real story of why.
The Cathars were, in essence, a Gnostic-adjacent tradition surfacing in Christian Europe a thousand years after the first Gnostics had been suppressed.
The Gnostics called them archons.
The Gnostics were excommunicated and banished in the 4th century.
The Gnostics are in you.

He discovered esoteric knowledge in 1952 and became a disciple of Samael Aun Weor, founder of the modern Gnostic movement.
I don't know if you're gonna have time, but I wanted to ask if you've studied any of the Gnostic texts in the Nag Hammadi—um—and if you have any—uh—correlation with some of those gospels—um—particularly related to the Elohim or the origin stories.
Firstly, let me draw your attention to an ancient doctrine held by the Gnostics.
They spoke of spiritual powers who played a part in our existence, entering successively into evolution, and they called these powers, these entities, "eons." When people spoke of eons in a Gnostic sense, they did not mean periods of time but beings.
When the Gnostics spoke of eons, they meant beings guiding evolution in succession, one taking over from another.
So that included the canonical texts and it included the pre-canonical and gnostic texts.
So if you want to learn about beings who came and did terraforming on a devastated planet, you have to go to the Gnostic texts to hear about the craftsman or the demiurge.
If you want to hear about beings that are not human, not exactly demonic, but the parasite of biological life and can manipulate politicians into behaving in a way that's more aggressive and paranoid and might lead to war, again, you have to read the Gnostic texts and read about the archons.
It wasn't buried in the desert and lost like the Gnostic texts.
That's why the Gnostic texts and the Book of Enoch were excluded at the beginning of Christianity: to keep the picture simple so that obeying God and obeying the state amount to more or less the same thing.

The Gnostics were a massive populist Christian movement in the Mediterranean region.
Most scholars and historians I've studied agree that for a certain period, there would have been more Gnostic Christians than Orthodox Christians.
The Gnostics say this, the Orthodox say that, the Jewish Christians think they're both heretics.
Christianity does the same thing with basically anything outside the canonical New Testament: they say, "It's just a Gnostic forgery from the third century." But the problem is that the New Testament is full of known forgeries from the second century.
They have nothing better in textual tradition than the Gnostics do.
Scholars study these Gnostic texts found at Nag Hammadi and other dig sites.
Gnostic texts describe this being as a lion-headed serpent of illumination, reflecting themes of transformation and divine knowledge.
In Gnostic texts like the Berlin Codex and Nag Hammadi Codices, Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and Sophia Christ appear as timeless travelers tasked with awakening humanity's divine potential.
In Gnostic views, Sophia Christ is key, with Mary Magdalene as her incarnation—an Aeon guiding humanity from ignorance to unity.
Historical suppression by early Vatican councils marginalized Sophia Christ and Gnostic teachings, portraying Mary Magdalene as a fallen woman instead of Yeshua's equal partner and high Essene initiate.

This exploration examines the Gnostic perspective on Jesus using texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Philip.
The term “Gnostic” originates from the Greek word gnosis, meaning knowledge.

Salvation, according to Gnostic beliefs, comes from awakening this inner divinity rather than adhering to laws or rituals.
