By themselves the Archons can do nothing but insinuate. They rely heavily on our tendency to give over our power by wrong use of imagination. Our problem — without question, the single most threatening spiritual problem of our species — is that we do not adequately or consistently distinguish the true from the fantastic imagination.
In applied metahistory, a belief that cannot be refuted by evidence is called resolute. A resolute belief is beyond being proven or disproven through evidence or logic, entirely immune to critique. Therein lies its strength: because it cannot be proven, it doesn’t have to be. Resolute beliefs form the core structure of all world religions and most philosophies, as well as the theoretical assumptions that underpin modern science.
In practice, it is more interesting (as well as more instuctive) to consider how a belief works than to take an outright stance for or against it. The specific terms proposed for the various kinds of belief listed here can be helpful in assuming a metacritical stance rather than an oppositional one. They are called […]
They are pre-formulated in the code language of the brain, installed in neurolinguistic circuits. Normally we act from these beliefs without needing to formulate them in a direct statement of any kind. For instance, we act on our beliefs about the personal soul (11) or social reward (14) without a moment’s consideration of what we actually believe regarding those issues. The belief simply impels us.
Phantom Belief It is often said that belief is a powerful incentive to human action. Believing that we can do something renders us more able to do it, more confident and inspired. In this sense William James called ‘the will to believe’ a potent factor in human motivation. Doing so, he did not endorse the […]
What is reflex belief? The best way to define it is by example: If I believe in the Darwinian notion of survival of the fittest, it is likely that I will also believe that holding this belief gives me an edge in the struggle to survive. Here the objective of belief, the issue on which […]
The belief that the American government could not act harmfully against its own citizens is more potent that any proof that it is doing so. The shift of syntax liberates the mind to inquire if wrongdoing does in fact occur, and if it does, to detect how it occurs. Operating through the syntax “it just could not be so,” preemptive belief automatically dismisses rational inquiry and obscures critical observation.
It is tempting to assume that belief held without enactment is merely passive, inert, ineffective, but is this really so? In the dynamic of passive consent, those who hold a belief passively may be complicit with those who act out a mutual belief, even when they act it out in ways that are objectionable to the passive believers.
Salvation involves an intervention scenario in which a superhuman being comes to Earth, assumes human form, and performs certain acts that are believed to change the course of human experience. Gnostics considered this belief to be delusional, if not ridiculous. For them, salvationist ideology was a subterfuge, an error implanted by the Archons in the human mind.
Gnostic material on the Archons does not merely present “reports.” It explains their origins in the cosmic order, their nature (inorganic, imitative, without intentionality), their appearance and tactics, their attitude toward humanity, and more.
The effect of the Archons is not to make us err, but to make us, largely through dullness and distraction, disregard our errors, so that they extrapolate beyond the scale of correction. The Archons cast a ‘trance” over Adam… They put him into a sleepy state, but it was his perception they dulled… They make our hearts heavy that we may not pay attention and may not see.
Knowing Who the Gods Are, and Who Are Not Gods In my recent interview (Thursday, February 16) with George Noory for Coast to Coast AM, a listener called in a crucial question that I did not answer properly, due to the fast-paced, improvisational nature of the on-air format. Sometimes, in responding to a question concerning […]
Reflections on Von Daniken and Biblical UFOlogy In 1968 a Swiss innkeeper named Erich von Daniken published Chariots of the Gods?, which became an international bestseller and remains in print today. According to von Danikan’s sensational theory, “ancient astronauts” from an advanced civilization visited the Earth in times long past. He found proof of their presence […]
Gnostic and Tantric Practices of Sacred Sexuality The exploration of Gnosticism may be one of the more revealing pursuits of our time, and it is certainly one of the more difficult. Since Gnostics were suppressed in the 4th Century, disinformation about them has run amok. There is no clear and consistent presentation of Gnostic views, […]
A Brief Inventory of the Leading Paradigms These are categories more than theories; within each definition a number of theories are possible. However, as categories, they do present a comprehensive overview of current ways of viewing the ET/UFO phenomenon, i.e., an inventory of the operative paradigms. Each category contains particular authors and researchers who fit […]
Encounters with Aliens in a Mystery School Text Here and there the Coptic Gnostic materials contain passages that describe encounters with the ET-like beings, sometimes with explicit advice about how to handle these entities. What beliefs are implied in such testimony? And what are we to believe about such testimony? I will attempt to address […]
From Greek archai, “origins, beginning things, prior in time.” In the classical Mediterranean world, archon was commonly used for the governor of a province, or, more loosely, any religious or governmental authority. Hence the plural, Archons, is often translated in Gnostic texts as “the Authorities.” (There is no Coptic word for Archon, so Gnostic texts […]
“THE GREAT UNMENTIONABLE EVIL at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal – God is the Omnipotent Father – hence the loathing of women for 2,000 […]
Also called The Hypostasis of the Archons, and The Reality of the Rulers. Cosmological treatise presenting the Gnostic version of Genesis, CORE: the Sophia mythos, the generation of the Archons, the rape of Eve, the madness of Yaldabaoth, the conversion of the Sun, and other mythological features. After the exhausting exercise of sorting through the Gospel […]
Don Juan explains that these aliens think of (and treat) humans as a food source and can overlay the human psyche in order to keep us dumbed down and unaware of their influence, however, it’s possible, he says, to dislodge them through discipline.
Ayahuasca is an “external tool” that has the potential to take you on a very profound “internal journey” of soul discovery through the realms of your hidden subconscious and the many other multidimensional realms within your being. Depending how much you surrender to the plant medicine will determine the level of healing that can occur […]
The concept of judgement has many meanings but there are two basic types as I see it so far. One is a very necessary operational function whereby we make continual choices – what to think, speak, and decide upon for personal adaptation and decision making. The other is a more polarizing determination in the heart […]
I have been studying our Sun for some years, focusing on the influence of erratic solar behaviour (erratic from a modern human perspective) on the course of human development and civilization. One of my major conclusions is that the last ice age ended abruptly circa 9700 bce due to a major solar outburst (or series […]
Many healing modalities read your symptoms and then tell you what pill to take, or surgery to undergo, but what if you could conduct “sound surgery” sending holistic, healing vibrations into every single cell in your body? Highest Potential Resonance With sound healing, we don’t have to even fully understand what our symptoms are coming from – […]
Have you ever wondered… About what level of consciousness you’re truly at? Not in terms of it being a contest, or to say you’re better/worse than other people, but as a kind of inner GPS that simply tells you where you are. As humans, we tend to have very distorted and biased perspectives, especially when […]
