Weave author's theology into Doctrine ch01; mark open areas

Browse Source 
Integrate the author's additions (§5-§9) as clearly-labeled 'What we
believe' callouts kept distinct from the documented record: Demiurge-
as-Yahweh (jealous-god argument, Baal/Moloch), the soul's trials
(Gospel of Mary), the Christ-spirit entering Jesus at baptism, the
Mary Magdalene/France lineage and Sarah's naming, and the secret
teachings. Fix STT artifacts; smooth ch02's Greek/Roman 'names as
labels' addition. Add [NEEDS YOUR INPUT] markers across §1-§9 with a
consolidated 'places to come back and edit' footer. Populate glossary
with core Part I terms.

| Term | Type | Canonical home | One-line definition |
|------|------|----------------|---------------------|
| *(example)* Sophia | Aeon | part1-doctrine/ch03 | The Aeon whose fall produces the material world. |
| Legion | Hostile entity / name | part3-testimony/ch01 (#3) | The name returned through the static when pressed for one; later treatment TBD in Doctrine. `[NEEDS YOUR INPUT: how Legion is understood in our theology]` |
| gnosis | Concept | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§1) | Direct, experiential knowing of God and our true condition; salvation by knowledge, not faith alone. |
| True God / Monad / the One | The divine | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§2) | The transcendent, unknowable Source; *not* the maker of the material world. |
| Pleroma | Realm | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§3) | The "Fullness" — the realm of light, the True God's household of Aeons. |
| Aeon | Divine being | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§3) | A true divine being emanated from the One; the Aeons fill the Pleroma. |
| Barbelo | Aeon | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§3) | The One's first Forethought (*Pronoia*); the Mother-Father, Womb of All. |
| Sophia | Aeon | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§4) | "Wisdom," youngest Aeon; her solitary act produces the Demiurge — the flaw through which the material world arises. |
| Demiurge (Yaldabaoth / Saklas / Samael) | Lower maker | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§5) | The ignorant, imperfect maker of the material world who thinks himself the only God; in our reading, tied to the OT Yahweh. |
| Archons | Hostile powers | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§6) | The Demiurge's "Rulers" — jailers/gatekeepers of the material cosmos; the angels and demons we contend with. |
| divine spark (*pneuma*) | The human spirit | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§7) | The fragment of the True God's light trapped in us, longing for home; what gnosis awakens. |
| Seth / the seed of Seth | Figure / the elect | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§8) | Seth as spiritual ancestor/savior; "the seed" = those in whom the spark is alive. |
| the Christ (vs. Jesus) | The Revealer | part1-doctrine/ch01 (§7, §9) | In our teaching, the spirit of the Christ descended into the man Jesus; the Revealer who brings gnosis. `[NEEDS YOUR INPUT: settle wording]` |
| Legion | Hostile entity / name | part3-testimony/ch01 (#3) | The name returned through the static when pressed; the demon-name Jesus also drew out (Mark 5:9). See Part V. |
