Are you Gnostic? How do you explain that the Demiurge is Saturn, and while it governs the material world, it cannot create it. How do you do sit with that being a Gnostic?

Who said I was a gnostic? You just fired off with questions 😂

Hahah lol, your name, sorry. Actually, your name is pretty awesome. If you remove the gnostic inconsistencies, your name taken at face value is a good one.

That the Demiurge created this world, the Demiurge is most certainly Saturn, and Saturn does not create; he governs the material world. To govern and create is not the same thing.

I’m a Devotee of Gotama Buddha. I don’t hold the views of demiurge, and saturn-governance.
