I still need to finish the story, but I wanted to release what I have. I stopped animating this in 2011. It describes the introductory portion to the Sethian Gnostic creation mythology including the concept of the Chief Archon, Yaldabaoth. I used this specific script from the Apocryphon of John, yet there are four main texts describing this same story from different angles within the Nag Hammadi collection.

Here is what I have discovered:
Yahweh, or יְהֹוה, is not the Chief Archon Yaldabaot, or Samael. However, he does fill the role of the Cosmic Demiurge, which is a more knowable station of the creator which is closer to the earth. Archons are rebel angels which legally entrap souls and parasitically feed from them using a distorted reflection of the law. By doing this, they sustain and reinforce their illegal entrenchment in lower heavenly realms. One of the reasons Jesus Christ was sent to man for a more direct approach was to teach them not to worship angels, which many of us would consider gods. This idolatry cuts the victim off from a steady stream of God's love, which is apparently a big deal, and life-transforming. It is paramount for Archonic powers to effectively imitate authentic divinity, and so we must be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. They sit on real thrones and will command authority over an initiate in ways which are only avoidable when we purify our lives and rise above their grasp.
