Let us make man in our image

The phrase "Let us...." from the Genesis 1:26 is even today causing great confusion among men. Many have taken this plural from "Let us...." as a pointer to the idea that there are many Gods. Thus they find evidence or connections that this idea may be related to the tenets of polytheism.

Yet in the same Bible we have God saying "I am God, and there is no other" (Isaiah 45:22). God did not present Itself by saying "We are God." So what´s the deal here? Did God lie?

Wannabe Gnostics would perhaps say that this God speaking is none other than the ignorant and evil Demiurgos and as such, not THE GOD because this is a statement that the Demiurgos utters when he looks around himself after he is being born and discovers nothing. One is already being served a hint here.

That is that the Demiurgos is created,while God is and for evershall be.

Demiurgos has the meaning of "half maker" according to the ancient Greek gnostics.The point of the story about him is to present students with an opportunity to understand what today would be better known as the cosmic ignorance. As such it does not deal nor tells the story about The Logos as some have thought it to be.

It´s a story about cosmic ignorance.


So the general Gnostic story goes like this…

Demiurgos finds himself alone in some kind of empty space and out of ignorance declares,

“There is no one else but ME...”

After awhile one would imagine he became utterly bored being alone in this empty space, so he

uses his God powers that he had within, (Due to heavy ignorance he never stopped and pondered upon whereform he had these powers), to create a Fun Fair for his own amusement because empty space is, of course, so endlessly boring.

So he went ahead and created head-nodders who would follow his every bidding. Since they had no will of their own but instead became more like a function and as such, they had designated roles in the Fun Fair project of the poor, bored and stupid Demiurgos.

So there was the Fun Fair and the head nodding personnel. Yet things remained empty and Demiurgos was not content with this being the case. But he had not a clue what to do about it. He obviously hit a wall of a non-inspirational nature.

His mom looking down on him from the realms above followed his moves and eventually got tired of his boastings about being God and also his antics which came about due to his being an ignorant creature.

So his mom decided to throw a monkey wrench into his Fun Fair project and in a holographic fashion made a conceptual trap, whereby She introduced to him the image of the Human--one which was a replication of the one who is above and beyond it all.

The holographic image which also contained instructions, showed the dumb Demiurgos how to create this Human and was actually a trojan horse that tricked him into giving the divine nature and power to this Human one. So that the man had the divine spark in Him just like the Demiurgos and with that, a mind of His own.

It took Demiurgos and his crew of head-nodders to realize that the Fun Fair Project did not go as well as expected. The Humans started to display minds of their own and had the ability to reason and so on.

Demiurgos grew more and more pissed-off because theses Humans did not do and behave as he desired and so he and his crew went nuts. So they end up on all sorts of manipulation and what not to try confine and to stop the divine spirit in man to flame up and come to full expression and attainment,because somwhere in all that stupidity and ignorance. Demiurgos had some doubts being all that and he could start see glimpses of this being so when he looked upon the human one and the displays of this being. Ignorance is the foundation of fear and all the so called assumptions steaming from it are the mother of all fuck ups.

This last sentence is one point of the story about Demiurgos.



These kind of stories were an effort by some to paint a picture to a certain audience. Namley a picture of the process known to many as devolution or The Fall.

The fall is due to ignorance.

So let´s look at this "Let us..."

God was/is not schizophrenic nor is the God to be found in the Genesis story being Demiurgos who wishes to confine and hold back Adam.

The "Us" lies in the understanding of the divine Trinity and its function. The "Us" implies a certain function and process of the Trinity, which works like a closed circuit in regards to what is known as Creation.

Another way to view this is to see God as ‘THE ONE BEHIND THE ONE AND ONLY POWER.’ God’s will and desire engages power in such a way that there are aspects of it that constitute the make up of Creation and the Human world.

The Elohim are also termed as being The Shining Ones. The Sephirot on the tree of life are also called this because they are luminous. These are aspects of the One and Only Power and Energy.

In the story of the Gnostics, these are the Archons which are the same as Archangels, Rulers, and Judges, et al. Their task is to uphold and fulfill a function, being representative of energetic aspects, patterns and forms of the One and Only Force or Energy. This is why they are at times termed ‘rulers and judges.’

The emphasis on these terms is to elucidate their task of being a function and in that way, they are confined to their particular task at hand. It is not that they are evil per se. These angels might well say, “Hey, We’re created in this way to fulfill a task and uphold a function that We have been given. If you where a true Adam you would know this and we would bow before you and call you a Son of Man!”

So, through the Will of God and by the way of the closed-circuit known as the Trinity, the aspects of the One and Only Power go into action and Creation is engaged. If you want to understand the Gnostic text called ‘the Bible’ (and other texts as well), you will have to study the system that is known today as Kabbalah because this latter serves as a key. Both compliment each other in different ways.
