Paradise lost

A gnostic poetic prose poem

By Daniel HooksPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Coombe Gibbet

What if Lucifer gave us free will?

the knowledge of good and evil

Was it our connection through sex

the forbidden fruit?

knowledge that two have to become one to create life?

Were we being controlled by the Demi urge the god

in the gnostic religion

Sophia the creator of the universe and Christ were one and lived in heaven

some how the two became divided

Sophia gave birth to the Demi urge

a dead god without her husband Christ

she breathed life into the Demi urge

But the Demi urge was cut from heaven and the divine light

He envied Christ and Sophia so trapped them in human bodies

evermore to forget they were divine as are their children

each generation suffering

but Christ and Sophia the Holy Spirit can save each other…
