a few words on gnostic christianity

If you have read extra-biblical Christian texts like "On the Origin of the World", "The Secret Book of John", "Pistis Sophia", or "The Reality of Rulers" you will find that events before Genesis are recalled. The texts speak of the very creation of God, or the ALL. The very Source of creation, the "Big Bang" as they say, the beginning of the Rotation i like to say. The creation of the ALL took place in an immaterial in which the only Being or Reality was the ALL. The First Perfect Emanation of Light, also referred to as the "Barbello" then asexually was spawned from the ALL. Think of the Barbello as a "holographic" or pure Light based blue print of the ALL, infinitely long and fundamentally without end, and most importantly immaterial; the Light of the immaterial.

The Barbello then itself, being the Perfect Essence of all creation split into the Aeons, different texts mention different numbers of first created Aeons. Such Aeons that were first formed from the immaterial Barbello were Life, Love, Honor, Wisdom, Joy, etc. The point is that the Aeons which the Barbello created were Perfect, that is they are all things emotionally positive and the germ that the archetypes of mundane reality imitate. They are the aspects of the first perfect Light, and are therefore all benevolent.

The Aeon Wisdom or Sophia (like the Hagia Sophia), at a point then had a thought without the inclusion of the First Perfect Light, trying instead to substitute it with her own light, since curiosity is after all the nature of Wisdom. From this imperfect thought was spawned the material world and also a parody of the Barbello to rule over it, known most commonly as the Demiurge. The Demiurge then in mimicry of the Barbello made the "aeons" of the material world which are essentially the backbone and structural support beams for physical reality. Also, it must be noted that the gnostics usually consider the material world to be a corruption of the Pure reality since it was not created with the light of the Barbello but rather Wisdom's light which she borrowed from Barbello, this is why there is so much suffering in the physical world, there is a constant interplay of duality which creates "friction", rather than a pure abstract Oneness without any contradictions. Thus at least you know the point up until the creation of the physical reality and the Demiurge... now my point:

The physical reality was formed when Sophia (Wisdom) had "an impure thought", that is a thought without the consent of the First Perfection, the Barbello. From this thought came a pregnancy and thus was born the imperfect Demiurge and the strife filled material universe.

Now this is the most important piece, and one that is neglected from mention in church but is fundamental to understanding the theology behind Jesus's " spiritual mission. Mary was impregnated by the "Holy Spirit", the Holy Spirit is the Perfect Essence of God, none other than the Barbello. Thus, Jesus, the incarnation in the flesh of the perfect Essense came to redeem the entire material reality. Finally, Sophia was given the consent of the Pure Thought from the ALL that spawned the material world itself. Sophia was given consent for this thought in the physical form of Mary who became pregnant with Jesus or the Barbello for the redemption of the material universe.
