In this video, we explore The Interpretation of Knowledge, a little-known Nag Hammadi text written to a spiritual community being torn apart by jealousy, and place it beside the Apocryphon of John, where the Demiurge — the blind ruler of the material world — defines himself through that exact same emotion. Read together, these two ancient Gnostic texts reveal something unsettling about envy, ignorance, and the illusion of separation.

In this video, you’ll learn:

* Why The Interpretation of Knowledge treats jealousy as “ignorance of God,” not just a moral flaw
* The real meaning behind the Demiurge’s declaration, “I am a jealous God, and there is no other God beside me”
* How envy and the Demiurge’s blindness share the exact same inner structure
* The ancient concept of the “evil eye” (phthonos) and why the Greco-Roman world took envy so seriously
* How to recognise this pattern within yourself before it shapes the reality you believe in
* Why true discernment and envy are not the same thing — and how to tell them apart
