Integrate author's Doctrine ch01 answers; close resolved markers
Weave in the author's inputs as 'What we believe' callouts and close the markers now answered: True God = our 'God' reached through Christ (§2); we hold four figures, Christ's name activates the spark (§3); Sophia's spark-trick and no devotion (§4); the Demiurge IS the OT Yahweh (§5); faith/power via the sacrifice theory (§6); Christ-and- Jesus distinction settled (§7); lineage kept + tracked for Part II ch03 (§8); add the reincarnation-loop doctrine (§9). Only §1 (faith vs knowledge) and §9 (steps of the return) remain open. Fix STT artifacts. Update OUTLINE, glossary (Oneness, reincarnation, Christ), and CLAUDE.md session status.

## Part I — Doctrine *(scriptural voice)*
|
||||
- **ch01 — The Basics of Gnosticism** *(DRAFTED — pending review)* — gnosis vs faith, the True God/Monad, Pleroma & Aeons (Barbelo, Luminaries), Sophia's fall, the Demiurge (Yaldabaoth) & Archons, the threefold human & divine spark, Seth & the seed, salvation as the Revealer's call, key texts. Christ-ties left as `[NEEDS YOUR INPUT]` for author.
|
||||
- **ch02 — The Roots: Why This Is Not New** *(DRAFTED — pending review)* — comparative grounding (Second Temple Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Neoplatonism, Vedanta, Mandaeism); the recurrence-as-evidence argument. Source: `input/ai_answers.md` (Block 1).
|
||||
- ch03+ — author's Christ tie-ins, Legion/demonology placement, and deeper treatments (TBD)
|
||||
|
||||
**Pending decision:** `input/ai_answers.md` **Block 2** (Jesus' exorcisms vs. the Greek Magical Papyri — adjuration, naming, binding, the "stronger man") → likely its own **Demonology** section. Placement TBD with author.
|
||||
- **ch01 — The Basics of Gnosticism** *(DRAFTED — author theology woven in; 2 open markers)* — gnosis vs faith, True God/Monad, Pleroma & Aeons, Sophia's fall & the spark-trick, the Demiurge (= OT Yahweh) & Archons, the threefold human & divine spark, the Christ entering Jesus, Seth/seed & Sarah's name, salvation, **reincarnation loop**, key texts. **Settled:** True-God-as-"God"/reach Him through Christ; four figures held (True God, Sophia, Demiurge, Christ); Christ's name activates the spark; faith/power via sacrifice theory. **Still open:** §1 faith-vs-knowledge; §9 steps-of-the-return.
|
||||
- **ch02 — The Roots: Why This Is Not New** *(DRAFTED — author extended)* — comparative grounding (Second Temple Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Neoplatonism, Vedanta, Mandaeism) + Greek/Roman "names as labels" point; recurrence-as-evidence. Source: `input/ai_answers.md` (Block 1).
|
||||
- ch03+ — possible standalone **Reincarnation** chapter; deeper treatments (TBD)
|
||||
|
||||
## Part II — Family Canon *(warm + reverent)*
|
||||
- **ch01 — Dedication** *(DONE — signed "Fazer," Phillip Tarrant)* — letter to the family / Sarah. Source: `input/dedication.md`.
|
||||
- **ch02 — How Our Faith Came to Be** *(DRAFTED — pending review)* — the author's journey: mother's charge → Eastern paths/Ki → witchcraft & its price → turn to Christ → cracks in the Bible → age-43 deep dive → Gnosticism/Sethians/Sumerians → evidence-based framing. Source: `input/evolution.md`.
|
||||
- ch03 — Lineage & why this book exists
|
||||
- (more TBD)
|
||||
- **ch03 — Family Lineage** *(TODO — author flagged as key)* — build out the family lineage; ties to the Magdalene / France / Sarah thread from Part I ch01 §8. Author to supply genealogy.
|
||||
- (more TBD — "why this book exists" largely covered by ch01 Dedication + ch02)
|
||||
|
||||
## Part III — Testimony *(plain, first-person)*
|
||||
- **ch01 — A Life Among Them** *(DRAFTED — author revised, ongoing)* — 15 chronological encounters, 1998 (age 18) → the hilltop house. Source: `input/first_demon.md`.
