Additionally they share an explanation for how this situation all came to be: 1. They believe in the Monad (the One / Absolute, which is entirely unknowable and not exactly a God but something more, the source of all dependent origin, beyond notions of being and non-being. Essentially representing ultimate undivided reality. 2. From the Monad emanates forth a series of Aeons which are the core concepts, aspects and rules of how reality functions. 3. This leads to complex hierarchies (that vary by sect), of higher Aeons / concepts of reality emanating forth lesser ones. 4. The Aeon known as Wisdom (Sophia) attempts to comprehend the Monad by imitating its method of emanation, but since it is not the Monad, something goes wrong. 5. The result is that Sophia emanates the Demiurge, a flawed creation, which is expelled into the Void of the Kenoma. During this, countless souls worth of the substance of the Pleroma is also expelled via the process. 7. The Demiurge, finding itself alone in the the material realm, and the most powerful being in that reality, it believes itself to be God, despite being flawed / evil. 8. It then creates the physical Universe and living beings. Sophia puts the substance/soul-matter of the Pleroma that fell into the Void into the living vessels so that rather than being permanently stuck it can one day return back to the Pleroma. 9. The Demiurge creates Archons, who take the form of lesser Gods, Angels, Demons, whatever you will call them - beings that aid it in its work. 10. Some of these become aware of the truth of the situation and rebel, in order to help souls escape the material Kenoma, achieve Gnosis / enlightenment, and return to the Ultimate reality. 11. The Demiurge takes on the role of the chief Deity in various pantheons (most notably known via Yahweh in the Old Testament), and while a lot of the OT isn't very accurate, it serves a good example of the cruel, jealous, violent nature of the Demiurge.
