ABSTRACT
The two fundamental characteristics of the Gnostic view that the material world was created by the demiurge and the archons are that: it is a prison. And that the archons keep humans enslaved by deluding them into thinking that the material world is real when it is according to the Gnostics, an illusion. Within the domains of science and philosophy, the idea that world is a holographic projection has been around since 1997 when it was first proposed by the physicist Juan Maldacena. However, although they might not have referred to it as such, the concept of the universe as a hologram or illusory, has probably been known to mystics and wisdom traditions since time immemorial. A hologram is a three-dimensional image of an object encoded on a two-dimensional surface. The fact that unobserved objects are mere probabilities and that nothing is actually real until it is observed into existence, raises the possibility that one live in a dream world.
