I find your caveat to be disingenuous, at best. Despite you using block text to highlight "then", how would you know what John Lamb Lash has or hasn't done with his particular take of Gnosticism? Are you a faculty member of his Sophianic School, are you in contact with him to even ask him what would be the point of using psych-archeology regarding Gnosticism, or indeed, anything else for that matter. Have you even read the 15th anniversary edition of Not In His Image or are you still relying upon the 2006 edition? Have you even read the latest iteration of The Fallen Goddess Scenario?
You are incorrect on, "because he himself is able to “walk between worlds” and has a manifest “paranormal” skill set that allows him to merge and communicate with nature." He has not developed a paranormal skill set to communicate with Sophia herself, he merely used the technique of the Mystery schools, that he himself recovered.
Sophia is in fact a living being, Earth, who is not "trapped." He communicated with her, and not with what you declare to be the "inner psychic life or interiority of it."
I don't comprehend why you needed a seer to look at the demiurge. The gnostics left us a perfectly good description which is far more reliable than a fictional CGI Netflix show.
Time to take another look at Stranger Things. I've tried 3 times to watch it and can't get through season 1. Boring and draggy. Spent the whole time wishing they would actually get somewhere with the story.

Maybe just not your thing?
