Draft Part I — Gnosticism basics (ch01) + comparative roots (ch02)

Browse Source 
ch01: documented Sethian Gnostic cosmology (gnosis, the Monad,
Pleroma/Aeons, Sophia's fall, Yaldabaoth & Archons, the divine
spark, Seth & the seed, salvation as revelation), sourced to Nag
Hammadi texts + Irenaeus, with Christ-ties left [NEEDS YOUR INPUT].
ch02: comparative grounding from ai_answers.md Block 1 (Judaism,
Zoroastrianism, Neoplatonism, Vedanta, Mandaeism) framed as the
author's evidence-based recurrence argument. Update OUTLINE.

## Part I — Doctrine *(scriptural voice)*
- ch01 — `[NEEDS YOUR INPUT]` (e.g. The Divine / the True God)
- ch02 — Cosmology: the Pleroma, the Aeons
- ch03 — Sophia and the fall
- ch04 — The Demiurge and the material world
- ch05 — The human condition (spirit, soul, the divine spark)
- ch06 — New Testament tie-ins
- (more TBD from material)
- **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.
## Part II — Family Canon *(warm + reverent)*
- **ch01 — Dedication** *(DONE — signed "Fazer," Phillip Tarrant)* — letter to the family / Sarah. Source: `input/dedication.md`.
