Gnostics

<p>By some schools, notable the Platonian, the Universal Life Principle was called "The Demiurge," the term literally meaning the "universal worker." &nbsp;The Demiurge was held to be an exalted and mysterious agent, by and through whom The Absolute was supposed to have created the Universe--the life of the Demiurge flowed out into manifold forms, and became the Many. &nbsp;This ideas was adhered to by the Gnostics of the early Christian church. &nbsp;</p>
