" - COUNTERFEIT SPIRIT
- A type of evil spirit.
- The counterfeit spirit appears primarily in the Apocryphon of John: “And I (John) said, ‘Lord, from where did the counterfeit spirit come?’”
- The story of the origin of the counterfeit spirit is a Gnostic re-telling of Genesis 6:1 in which ‘the Lord’s angels went down to the daughters of men’.
- In general, Yaltabaoth’s demons created the counterfeit spirit as a means of reproducing bodies, and hence, the Hylic race. Through the counterfeit spirit, they also lead people astray through pollution and deception."

"Humans were put in hard labor, so they wouldn’t have time to think too much about their spiritual origins. The Archons knew very well that at least part of Spirit was embedded within their human bodies, but they didn’t know how much and how powerful it really was. All they were interested in was to suppress whatever was in there."
"the Archons could add their artificial spirit into the by now weakened bodies and souls of the Seth line."

"The rulers brought Adam into the shadow of death so that they might produce a figure again, from earth, water, fire, and the spirit that comes from matter, that is, from the ignorance of darkness, and desire, and their own false spirit."
"Through intercourse the first ruler produced duplicate bodies, and he blew some of his false spirit into them."
"But people upon whom the false spirit descends are misled by it and go astray."
"At first they were unsuccessful. When they had proved unsuccessful, they met again and devised another plan. They created a contemptible spirit similar to the spirit that had descended, in order to adulterate souls through this spirit."

"The ancient Gnostics had said that the Archons with their leader Idalbaoth had sent to the descendants of Adam and Eve (You and I) a “counterfeit spirit (Counterfeit Daimon) which enters the souls, overgrows, hardens, closes them, weights them down, leads them astray to works of evil, and thus makes them impotent to know (gnosis).”"

"When we understand Jesus' Biblical and Sacred Gnostic teachings, we understand the purpose of our existence is to remove the counterfeit spirit from ourselves, to ensure our perfection and ascendance."
