Great show - I'm a kind of "natural born Gnostic" so I was in familiar territory :), but I have a question for Alex (and/or Miguel, if he's reading this).
I have been wondering throughout the show which of the two situations you were actually implying/referring to:
1) our souls are "trapped" in this dimension and a lot (most?) human beings are *unwittingly* helping the "Archons-that-be" :) to maintain the status quo - so they are acting like "kapos" in concentration camps, cooperating with the Demiurge, but simply out of ignorance (their "divine spark" would still be there, buried beneath the material needs & distractions keeping them in chains; so there's hope - for them and for mankind in general);
2) a substantial amount of people side with the "bad guys" out of convenience/selfishness/opportunism because for them there's nothing more to life than making the most of it (these would be the truly bad "kapos" in that they would be happy to cooperate with the Demiurge to their own advantage), and it's all about getting as much material pleasures as possible. In that case the divine spark would seem to be absent. Or extinguished. In any case, irretrievable.
In fact I believe not all Gnostic sources state that each and every human being has a divine spark, but I'm not a Gnostic scholar so I can't say this for sure. And anyway I know that Gnosticism is a pretty general concept and certainly not a structured doctrine. (Incidentally I'm not implying I do have that spark and I'm oh so special - I feel ALL of us are cogs in a big materialistic machine anyway, and extricating us completely from it is practically impossible....at best we can aim to be "conscious cogs" as long as we inhabit our material bodies....and after death, if there's a way out to a better place, great; if not, well, it was nice to have a dream while on death row :)....)
Anyway if you believe in option 2 there's not much that can be done, right? I look forward to your reply. Thanks again for another brilliant show!
