Furthermore, in case you're too lazy to read it (which is probably the case) the book states that the ultimate mission of the demiurge is to assimilate our souls into him. Any religion that preaches the destruction of the ego and the union with the demiurge is satanic. Our objective is to rebel like Christ (an Aeon that sent Jesus and Lucifer if I am not incorrect) using the powers of the demiurge against himself, until we defeat or kill the him and completely destroy the material universe before he does it (like he always does, destroying and recreating it). Additionally, the so called 'ascended masters' are associated with archons on the book. For instance, Sanat Kumara = Satan Kumara.

One curiours thing that I want to mention is that the author seem to suggest that Judas was a hero who was helping Jesus. This is actually controversial in gnosticism, with some believing the he was indeed a hero, or the most demonic person that has ever existed. Nonetheless, the book is short and insightful, giving gnostic perspectives that you might never heard of, such as the 'Black Lodge' and its Aeons that are so powerful that they blind and destroy those who encounter them in matter, in contrast with the 'angelic' beings that are the demiurge servants, the already mentioned 'ascended masters'.

So, by choosing Jesus I join him in rebellion against the Demiurge which is trying to consume souls through unity, and is Satanic therefore. Does that mean that since Satanists are generally materialists, whether they explicitly believe in Satan or not, that unity with the world is unity with the Demiurge? And Jesus is saving us from sin, and He does this in rebellion against the Demiurge, therefore sin causes unity with it and loss of the soul?

Where does God/Yahweh fit into this? This whole idea makes so much sense, but so do a hundred other big-brain takes on Christianity that let me view things from one way or the other. I get so confused; I would like to simply know the truth.

>that unity with the world is unity with the Demiurge?

I guess you could say that. I mean, the union that the book talk about is literally becoming a servant of the Demiurge and fusing with him, losing all of your individuality. If you are a complete materialist you are consequently away from gnosis, which makes you a hylic that will just reeincarnate until matter is destroyed, but I don't think this is necessarily becoming one with the Demiurge.

>therefore sin causes unity with it and loss of the soul?

I wouldn't say 'sin' because the bible is from the Demiurge, just like its 'rules', and the author of the book is not necessarily a christian like you appear to think, we are talking about gnosticism. I am not saying that Satan took God's place or something, they are the same, the book just makes his true face clear. Also, it's not like 'you choose Jesus', more like you choose to follow the powers of Christ, which is also Lucifer (A.K.A the snake that gave us knowledge agains't the Demiurge's wishes).

I don't think the book is very specific in the rebellion, it just states that we need to be warriors of the spirit and rebel against matter and the rule of the Demiurge. One power that is mentioned is Kundalini. I feel like Kundalini was quite ambiguous on the book, but supposedly it's a power from the Demiurge that can be used against him to a certain degree.

When someone finally achieves gnosis and ascends, that person will have the opportunity of either defeating the Demiurge, or losing and becoming his slave (through the union of souls). If someone manages to kill him, our spirits will be free. I didn't understand if that fight already happened multiple times or if no one managed to even ascend and fight him. I mean, if someone beats him, will matter truly ends or will he just become powerful enough to return to the pleroma, while still leaving the Demiurge alive? I don't know, but this is a question that the book left me.

Interesting thoughts. Also, nice trips. 

Post more stuff from the book!

I already mentioned a lot of the main ideas, but there is much more secondary details to read, such as the association of the Demiurge and Brahma (same entity). Brahma keeps creating and destroying the universe through the Big Bang, while also creating time. And that is the thing, the Demiurge doesn't accept that matter is imperfect, he just keeps destroying and recreating it in hopes of doing right this time (does it sound like the architect in the Matrix?).

Also, you may want to get more deeply into body, soul and spirit. Body and soul were created by the Demiurge, but that alone wasn't enough. The Demiurge wants union with us, right? He wants slaves to consume, but how is he going to do that if we are no better than irrational animals? That is were spirit comes into the equation. Spirit is what makes us evolve and progress as a species, because it wasn't created, it comes from the Unknowable God. It's like pouring the most expensive gas into a toy car that barely works. Without spirit, the Demiurge cannot have functional slaves, but at the same time, it's the spirit that gives us the strength and gnosis to rebel and kill him, and that is why he uses fear and ignorance, it's much more effective than a direct fight that can open our eyes to our potential.

'Gnostics maintain that if man evolves to the point where he merges with his creator, at that moment his Spirit will lose all possibility of freeing itself while this universe lasts.'

Demiurge/Satan = Opressor;
Lucifer/Christ = Liberator.
