		Demiourgos gives the valley and its newly created inhabitants to the king as raw materials on which to work cultural improvements, for at the moment, the beings of the valley are perfectly inert.
		From Demiourgos the king learns how to set his new subjects into motion, guiding them toward various actions by removing their pains, while minimizing the amount of pain he assumes from them.
		In the familial complex now breaking rudely into the text, Demiourgos represents a transcendental creative power; the Persian king as a master manipulator of that power is a projection of the father; the troubled but prophetic student is the author's own self-projection.

	Valentinus (Gnostic) - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		According to this theory the son of Sophia, whom 'she forms on the model of the Christos who has disappeared in the Pleroma, becomes the Demiourgos, and this Demiourgos with his angels now appears as the real world-creative power.
		We must not forget here that the Demiourgos of the Gnostic is known to have corresponded to the God of the Old Testament, who was the God of the Christian Church, and that we can thus lay our finger here on a compromise with the faith of the great Christian community.
		But it is characteristic of the Valentinian system that the Demiourgos and the psychici who are connected with him also ascend to the eighth or highest heaven of Achamoth, while the remaining material world sinks into flames.

	Atlantis - Plato
		The Demiourgos had then introduced these newborn souls to their ‘companion stars’, and finally sowed them in the Earth, whereupon the Olympian gods took over and, in accordance with the Demiourgos’ instructions, wove the immortal souls to mortal bodies, thereby creating mankind.
		At the same time, the Demiourgos mixed the soul of the Universe, which he planted in the centre, in the Earth, and then extended outwards, thereby energising the Sun, Moon, planets and stars.
		As discussed earlier, the whole visible Universe was a cipher for the invisible realm of the ‘other world’, personified by the Demiourgos, and the challenge for man was to decipher the riddle in order to pave the way for the return of his soul to unity with God.

		Buthos and His Thought, uniting with Wisdom, made her fruitful by the Divine Light and she produced a perfect and an imperfect being, Christos, and a Second and inferior wisdom, Sophia-Achomoth, who falling into chaos remained entangled there, became enfeebled, and lost all knowledge of the Superior Wisdom that gave her birth.
		Ialdabaoth produced an angel that was his image, and this a second, and so on in succession to the sixth after the Demiourgos: the seven being reflections one of the other, yet different and inhabiting seven distinct regions....
		The dominant idea of [Manes, founder of the sect of the Manicheans] was Pantheism, derived by him from its source in the regions of India and on the confines of China: that the cause of all that exists is in God; and at last, God is all inall.

		This is the "form" best understood by physicists, even though this specific model is utterly outdated by now.
		Another one is the "biological form" of his body, described through its pattern drawn by the lesser gods for the sole purpose of hosting the divine soul handed over by the demiourgos.
		The last is the "form" of his soul, the mixed principle of becoming and being, bridging between the visible and the intelligible, whose making by the demiourgos is described at length.

	Plato and the Existence of God
		In it, you will find not "God", but a "demiourgos", that is a "worker" (etymologically, demiourgos means "one who works for the demos, that is for the people"), which is immortal by nature but works from a model and has to deal with anagkè, necessity.
		Though he does not seem to be the maker of "place (chôra)" and matter, he is the maker of time, "a moving image of eternity", and of "lower" gods, that are only immortal by his will.
		They are the makers of man as the "host" of a divine soul (the logos) handed them by the demiourgos.

		They considered the old dispensation as granted by the Demiourgos, the maker of the world.
		They held him to be incapable, from his want of power, of delivering those who received it, from the thraldom of matter; and they looked for a more glorious messenger whom the compassion of the Supreme Being was to send for the purpose of emancipating the human race.
		And as 'Christ' was understood from the beginning of our Lord's ministry to be equivalent to the Jewish name Messiah, there came to be in their system a direct opposition between Christ and Logos.

		SJW's informative post on this question of what the demiourgos does reminded me of a passage in Austin and Vidal-Naquet's _Economic and Social History of Ancient Greece_:
		"The word demiourgos itself had two different meanings in different parts of the Greek world: in Athens, for example, it was used for the artisans and these were generally men of humble status.
		The other is from the Odyssey (XVII.382-6) in which "demioergoi" are named as the only people who get "invited from afar" because of their service to the community.

		It is found elsewhere in Heb_11:10 "builder;" but this is practically the same as "maker" (demiourgos, the next noun in the verse; see Note after 5).
		Note: Demiourgos, "a maker," properly signifies one who works for the people, or whose work stands forth to the public gaze (demos, "people," ergon, "work"), but this idea has been lost in the use of the word, which came to signify "a maker," Heb_11:10.
		This has reference to the structure, technites to the design.

		According to their old English constitution, "Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbol." Among their beliefs is that God is a kind of Great Worker who built the world but does not interfere with human actions.
		This image of God as mason/ worker goes at least as far back as Plato's Timaeus, in which the creator of the world is called a demiourgos, or "public worker", and the image is also favored in Kabbalistic circles.
		Through this line, the speaker of the refrain denounces all organized religion as such a scam.

		Science would give men here on earth what most men had hitherto expected only in heaven — the effortless possession of boundless pleasure.
