Every word here is his. Nothing has been paraphrased, joined or improved. Each passage
was cut out of the book it belongs to by reference, and each carries that book and the
paragraph it came from, so anything on this page can be found again in the source.
The word Demiurge comes down from the Greeks, and some of the old sects made of it a lesser god who traps the soul.
His meaning is another. He begins by saying who the Creator is not, one person alone, and who it is, a multitude
that is one. Then he shows it at work, building and measuring the worlds. He places it between the unknowable God
above and the creature below, and tells what happens to the one who falls under its reign and the one who escapes
it. He sets beside it its shadow, and he ends with the names it has carried among the Nahuas, the Greeks and the
Gnostics.
The first part is God as Gods:
“…this Demiurge is not a personal deity as many wrongly suppose.” “The Demiurge, the Logos, is a perfect multiple unity.”
The second part is the Architect at work:
“…the Solar Logos, the Demiurge Architect of the Universe, is the true author of all of this creation.” “…gives mathematic and geometric form to all that which has been, is, and will be.”
The third part is its reign:
“I believe in the mystery of Baphomet and of the Demiurge (Spirit between God and the creature).” “He has courageously escaped the Demiurge’s grip because he has reduced the ego to cosmic dust.”
The fourth part is light and shadow:
“Lucifer is the antithesis of the Creator Demiurge, its living shadow projected into the profound depths of microcosm man.” “…two are the armies of the Logos or Demiurge Architect of the Universe.”
The last part is its names:
“Quetzalcoatl is not a myth.” “Christ is the Demiurge Architect of the Universe.”
How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted (73,105 paragraphs,
2,157,671 words) and swept for the Demiurge by name; for the Architect of the Universe, great or divine; for his own
phrases for the creating Logos as a collective: the Creator Logos, the collective Creator, the perfect multiple unity,
God is Gods, the Triple-Powered God; and for the two armies of the Logos. Where his teaching ran on as a string of short
paragraphs, the paragraphs between two hits were taken in, and the paragraph either side was taken where his sentence
ran across. Introduction to Gnosis was left out, by the editor’s ruling. The Army of the Voice and the
Elohim were not swept on their own, because each has its own work in this family. That returned
95 candidate paragraphs in 16 books. Every candidate was read
twice, by independent readers working from a written brief. The two passes agreed on whether to print
91.5% of the time and on the class 86.2%, and a third reader, who saw neither verdict,
settled the 8 disagreements. One passage was added by hand: both readers had kept the second and third
paragraphs of a sentence in Parsifal Unveiled, on the Angel to whom the Divine Architect granted the
infernal worlds, but the paragraph where that sentence begins had not been swept, so it was taken in.
53 were judged printable. 3 of them were set aside as restatements,
and 0 were joined into the passage before
them, where his sentence ran across several short paragraphs, so 50 passages are printed here.
The rest are recorded with the reason each was set aside.
What was set aside. 10 named the Creator or the multiple unity only in passing, most of them speaking of
the Christ within, which has its own works; 11 were index lines, headings, a question from the audience or
verses of the Pistis Sophia with nothing of his taught; 3 were neighbours on another subject; and 1
was a line of verse. 5 more were judged and not printed, and 12 were judged the second halves of sentences
begun in the paragraph before.
No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his
sentence closed, and 9 ranges run over more than one paragraph.
27 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it
stands, the most in The Solar Logos (9), The Intimate Christ (6), Lucifer (6). An overlap is allowed wherever the teaching needs it. What is not allowed is an
overlap a reader cannot see.
Checked against the source. Every passage was proved word for word against an independent text of its own
book, and the printed text against the paragraphs it joins, with no failures. No mend was needed: every printed word
stands as the source has it.
No editor’s notes. The doctrine search over his passages and over every word of ours found the serpent
named twice, as the Biblical Serpent, an image of the Creator Logos as sexual force, and as the plumed serpent who
governs creation; and the fire is named as the cosmic fire at the centre of every sun and planet. The passages on the couple speak of their union as a collaboration with the creating Logos.
A work of Creation. Creation is a family of small books, each on one step in the making of a
world, set in the order the making unfolds. The Demiurge Architect stands after the Elohim, as the one who builds
and measures what they bring forth. The family wears the rose sand of first dawn; this book’s colour is the
bronze of the architect’s compass, for the one who gives mathematic and geometric form to all that is.
