Line 41:
* [[Above Good and Evil]] : The difference between the side is more defined as Chaos (Monad and Eons) Order (Demiurge and Archons)! The Chaotic side is [[Chaotic Good]] (Valentinianism) or [[Chaotic Neutral]](several sects). The Orderly side is [[Lawful Evil]] (most sects) or [[Lawful Neutral]] (as in Valentinianism).
** To quote the Gnostic Gospel of Philip:

* [[A God Am I]]: The Demiurge, who mistakenly believes himself to be the absolute authority. He has the power to create and destroy worlds, but he is still the lowest totem on the celestial pole, beneath the insight of even enlightened humans.
* [[All Myths Are True]]: Gnostic cosmology is a hybrid of personal experience and self-conscious mythology--it's a worldview that seems capable of assimilating any supernatural creature or miracle it runs into. The original Gnostic scriptures seem to contain a patois of Greek philosophy, Egyptian paganism, and Judeo-Christian tradition.
