>What's the occult and or esoteric view of Christ prior to being painted into what he is now by the church?
There are a lot of answers to this question, even if we’re limiting it to pre-Catholic esoteric perspectives from the first few centuries. The basic -bitch Sethian view is...
>God exists as infinite light that cannot be adequately described. It’s kind of everything and nothing at once 
>In order to perceive itself, it divides itself into two aspects. God the Father (the observed) and God the Mother or Barbelo (the observer). 
>Having observed itself, Barbelo returns to the father, and in this act of procreation results in a third aspect, Christos or the Logos/Word. It is the perfect androgynous reflection of the father and the vehicle through which everything else eminates 
>it continues to divide into male/female pairs, and each time it does it returns to the father and the process repeats. These pairs make up the Aeons (basically perfect platonic archetypes) and Pleroma (the full and perfect domain of God)
>eventually they get all the way down to Pistis Sophia (faith wisdom), the Aeon that resides furthest from the Father. Looking beyond the limits of Pleroma and wishing to know the unknowable, she gives birth to Yaldabaoth/Saklas/Samael, the demiurge 
>Looking at Pleroma and mistaking it for its own reflection, the Demiurge believes itself to be the only God 
>It creates the physical world and the Archons, which are gross retarded versions of the Aeons 
>Because it came from Sophia, the Demiurge has a portion of the limitless light within it, and when it creates man it passes that light on
>When Sophia realizes she’s fucked up, she and Christ attempt to rescue mankind
That’s highly simplified but it’s the basic gestalt
gpt
It creates the physical world and the Archons, which are gross retarded versions of the Aeons

hahaha... well i mean i wouldn't call them 'retarded' more like self-absorbed and unwilling to accept the fact there are bigger fish in a vast ocean outside their small pond that they aren't allowed to swim in because their infectious disease would foul the waters... BUT if they just chilled a bit... they could swim there too and become what they secretly wish to be... or they can all get erased when the Monad shows up to swing the big dick
