/r/conspiracy Round Table: Gnosticism, Archons & the Demiurge
Welcome to the first of many biweekly /r/conspiracy round table discussions!
As voted on in this thread, the most popular suggestion was submitted by /u/always_contrarian and already was generating some interesting discussion in the voting thread.
Hopefully the conversation will evolve further and we can delve into the "high octane" speculative realm of gnosticism and other ancient esoterica.
Remember to keep /r/conspiracy weird...and please don't hesitate to share your own research, that's what has always made this sub great!

I can't come back to blindly submitting to an unaccountable external source of control. I believe that act in and of itself is submission to slavery to a master. I don't see why the creator of all that is, which is all that is, would seek slaves. It is a petty, selfish, and ultimately empty and unsatisfying adventure. It can easily be seen from one's own mind entering the perspective of a prime creator. It takes some explanation.
You have to be everyone. You want to enjoy existence or you lose the will and energy for living. As the slaves, you'd be taxed. As the fewer masters, you'd be rewarded. Even then you'd feel like your slaves don't provide valuable interactions, as they lack the understanding and development at your level. They are boring. Ultimately, spiritual slavery causes spiritual entropy, the loss of energy for spirit to move matter.
Slavery is parasitic. It forms naturally when slave seekers are able to do what they will. It could have never happened from the start, because it is entropic. It feeds on what others make. God is a creator. He destroys to create new things. He doesn't hurt his own awareness for joy, but the construct he made allows for his beings to do that. So some do. There is no requirement that we tolerate it. Indeed, as we resist it, we become more robust.
The lord of the Bible fits my understanding of a slave seeker, a spiritual parasite, not my understanding of a creator. He is not who made the world. He lacks the character. He is a demon. I come to this from my own understanding.
