Life, Death & Gnosis: The Gnostics on the Afterlife

The possibilities for life after death come down to a mere three:

1. There is no life after death. Death is the total extinction of consciousness. 

2. Life after death continues on earth (through reincarnation). 

3. Life continues after death on another plane than that of earthly reality (such as in heaven or hell).

If we’re going to talk about this subject at all, we can rule out the first option categorically, especially since practically every culture and religion teaches that there is some form of life after death. There are many discussions of the evidence for the afterlife, and while this is a fascinating subject, it’s out of the scope of this article.

Which, then, of the two remaining options is most likely? Usually these are simplistically conceived. You reincarnate: depending on your karma, you come back down to earth to live again as a sage or a stockbroker. Or you are judged before the heavenly throne and are sent up to heaven or down to hell once and for all.

The Gnostics, the mysterious esoteric teachers of the early centuries of the Common Era, had their own perspective on the afterlife. Although their teachings have been all but lost, enough material remains so that we can reconstruct them. If we do, we will reach some valuable insights not only about some elements of the later Western occult traditions but about the project of spiritual liberation....<<<Read More>>>...

Yaldabaoth: the First Self-deifier

 According to some early Christian texts, the creator is a blind, blaspheming, inept abortion. His blasphemy is a declaration of self-deification drawn directly from Jewish scripture: “I am God, and there is no other!” (Isa 45:22). Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon (late second century CE), believed that Christian Gnostics were guilty of blasphemy for positing a God higher than the creator. 

Christian Gnostics thought likewise about competing Christian groups who ascribed the passions of jealousy and wrath to the supreme God. God, according to a Platonic theology widespread in Late Antiquity, can only be good. It was sinful, therefore, to depict him as the author of belligerent punishments and the creator of “evils” (kaka) (Isa 45:7, LXX). The real blasphemy, in this view, is depicting God as jealous of humanity’s divine qualities and potential.

Gnostic Christians criticized their opponents by creating a kind of tabloid version of Yahweh, an exposé via exegesis, a rude unveiling of who the god of Genesis really is, in their view—an idol. Their new Genesis stories deconstructed the exculpating theologies of their opponents. The sometimes angry, autocratic, and jealous god of Jewish scripture is not hidden under a veil of allegory. Rather, he is depicted in living and lurid colors. His name is Yaldabaoth, aka Samael (“blind god”) and Saklas (“fool”).

Strikingly, these Gnostic revisionary myths depict Yahweh as a self-deifying king. The story of self-deifying kings was already part of Jewish mythology. Jews and Christians would readily think of Helel (Lucifer), the Tyrian tyrant, or Antiochus IV Epiphanes. These ancient rulers wanted to be like God, and in their putative vanity and hubris claimed to be divine. In their poetry, Jews had parodied these putative self-deifiers with mock dirges. Now the parody of divine folly was turned against the Jews.

Lucifer, who became Satan in Christian mythology, was the main, though implicit, template for Yaldabaoth in Gnostic sources. Satan or Lucifer was widely considered to be the primeval self-deifier who rebelled against the supreme God. In Gnostic mythology, however, the creator himself becomes the rebel against the real God. In other words, the creator—who is more primeval than the devil—plays the devil’s archetypal role....<<<Read More>>>....

The Gnostic Revolt Against the God of the Old Testament

\Gnostics attributed the work of creation to a lesser deity or demi­urge known as Ialdabaoth (also spelled Yaldabaoth or Jaldabaoth), but the notion of the demiurge was not a Gnostic invention. Nearly five hundred years before Christianity, Plato described a similar Creation scheme in his Timaeus. In fact, as we know from a number of pagan theogonies that have come down to us, the same formula existed throughout the ancient world.

The story goes something like this: In the beginning the unknowable and self-begotten first principle emerges from watery chaos and gives birth to the gods. This primal being first cleaves in two, and then consorts with itself, thus producing the next divine pair. And so it goes. Each successive generation of gods gives rise to the next until the full pantheon emerges. At some point the cosmic clock begins to tick. The various responsibilities attending Creation are delegated, after which heaven and the earth are formed along with the stars, day and night, and the elements air, fire, and earth. Very late in the game living things appear, including, almost as an afterthought, the human race.

This grand Creation scheme was, with many variations, almost uni­versal throughout the ancient world – and this includes the Greeks, despite that remarkable flowering of speculation about man, God, and the universe known as Greek philosophy. Most of the Greek philoso­phers, of course, were monotheists. Yet, with some exceptions, they managed to coexist with polytheism. The great thinkers were not fooled. They understood that mythology was to be taken figuratively, not literally. The purpose of philosophy was to delve deeper – and the true foundation was obviously monotheism. The gods of Olympus were entirely derivative.

The Gnostic Ialdabaoth has been translated as “begetter of Sabaoth,” which seems to have been a pejorative pun for YHWH Sabaoth, one of the names of Yahweh in the Old Testament. The demiurge, of course, was wholly foreign to Judaism. Whereas the monotheistic Greek philosophers often tolerated a proliferation of lesser deities, Judaism insisted on a single entity: Yahweh. By some accounts he was attended by a council of angels, but Yahweh remained the prime mover; he alone was responsible for Creation. Even today this remains one of Judaism’s distinguishing features....<<<Read More>>>...

Light and Darkness

 The Forbidden Religion: For thousands of years Hindus have maintained that all creation, everything created, is maya, pure illusion, a trick. Seen through the eyes of the Spirit, all the work of the demiurge does not really exist and is nothing more than a big lie. The created world, as perceived by the senses, is the great obstacle which separates man from the real world. Man is not only misled by delusions of matter. The delusion of matter, created by the demiurge, has to be joined to the delusion of culture, created by man but at the service of the demiurge. All cultural stimuli, with which man is continuously bombarded, tend to keep him in a state of confusion and meekness. 


Books, newspapers, magazines, cinema and television are some of the means used by the representatives of the demiurge to keep man hypnotized and obedient and to make sure he carries on acting like a sleepwalker, working, sleeping, wasting time and missing opportunities; never to wake up, just like perfect zombies or golems of the demiurge, serving a purpose which is not that of the Spirit.

All this mass confusion, this great maya which comes from creation and which is carried on by means of culture, is passed on in turn by fathers to their young children and later by teachers in schools. In this way, the slightest hint of the Spirit is annihilated from the day man is born. All rebellion, disobedience, opposition and all that comes from the Spirit is annihilated through punishment, threats and brainwashing. By transforming their children into machines of blind obedience, the satanic parents are forming the future slaves of the demiurge....read more>>>...

Technology Slows Down Evolution of Consciousness, Unless It’s Soul-Guided

 Many researchers in the field claim that aliens-demons or ADs (let us link them together, as they work as partners) have been running the show for millions of Earth years, both on our planet and elsewhere in the universe.

They call the highest level of control the demiurge, a term first coined by Plato and later adopted by the Gnostics. Others call this top honcho Lucifer or the Great Architect. It is the god in charge of the mental, vital, and physical worlds that are in relation with planet Earth. I like to call it the god of illusion.

A human being living on Earth owns a very special soul that grows from one incarnation to the next and a special body that is able to host this soul.

There have been so many combinations and alterations in the earthbound human body in the past millennia that it can no longer be ruled by a single deva (god of a species). Thus, a human being only has one real boss: its soul, the Supreme Being individualized in space-time.

This means that the unlimited, omnipotent, omniscient creator of the whole universe lies hidden inside humans in an individualized format. It can tell each person what to do and creates for each one exactly what is needed to advance its agenda, both on an individual and a universal basis.

Realize that humans are individual creators – not because they have an advanced mind, but because they have an advanced soul!

On the other hand, most ADs have much more powerful minds than humans and they have access to the subtle worlds. They can ‘read’ what some call the akashic records, where everything that has happened since the inception of the universe is stored, including all possible pasts, presents, and futures.

Therefore, ADs can easily get information, but they are limited to their own level of consciousness. They can only decipher deformed versions of the truth. Unlike humans, they do not have access to advanced souls. So, they are stuck in the illusion. They need to feed themselves (often on us) and they eventually die, even if some live for thousands, even millions of years. And with death come fear, hierarchy, war, lies, and deceit....<<<Read More>>>....

Archons and the Gnostics: Exposing the Alien Intrusion

[Humans Are Free]: Since the explosion of the ET/UFO phenomena in 1947, speculation about alien intrusion on planet Earth has been rampant.

Half a dozen theories dominate the debate, but there is one theory that has yet to be examined. It did not emerge after 1947, but approximately 1600 years earlier.

To be precise, the evidence of this theory came to light through a discovery in Egypt in December, 1945, although the significance of the find was not realized until – guess when? 1947.

In that year, French scholar Jean Doresse identified the Egyptian find at Nag Hammadi as a cache of rare Gnostic texts.

“Gnosticism” is the label scholars use for a body of teachings derived from the Mystery Schools of pre-Christian antiquity. Gnostics who protested against Christian doctrines such as divine retribution and Christ’s resurrection found themselves targeted as heretics and were brutally suppressed by early converts to the One True Faith.

This is the untold story of how the Mysteries ended. Since that signal year, 1947, some of the lost Mystery School knowledge has been recovered.

Gnosis (“inner knowing”) was a path of experimental mysticism in which the initiates of the Mystery Schools explored the psyche and the cosmos at large. Using psychoactive plants, yoga, and sex magic, these ancient seers experienced altered states and developed siddhis, occult skills such as clairaudience and remote viewing....<<<Read More>>>....

The Archons Are the Demons of the Old Testament and They Can Possess and Control Humans Who Pledge Them Allegiance

[Humans Are Free]: The Archons (parasitic entities that feed off human fear) were referred to in antiquity as the servants of the Demiurge – the False god – who stands between the human race and a transcendent God that could only be reached through knowledge of humanity’s real nature as divine, leading to the deliverance of the divine spark within humanity from the constraints of earthly existence.

Archon is also Greek word meaning “ruler,” which was also often used in ancient times as the title of a certain public office in a government.

If we take a look at Archons from a Gnostic point of view, we will understand that in this context, they were considered the angels and demons of the old testament...<<Read The Full Article Here>>>....

Are We In A Simulation? - Why You Are Not Real


Simulation theory points out that we might be living in a giant computer simulation. Exponential technological growth and how far we’ve already come in so little time are big indicators that we can’t possibly imagine what the future of humanity would look like in 100 years, or better yet, 1,000 years!

Will we be able to create simulations so indistinguishable from reality that the characters will not be aware that they are being simulated?

Observing Human Cymatic Sound Wave Patterns

It gets interesting when you really get to observe human beings going about their daily business. After a while of watching individual people interacting with each other; wandering to and fro in a work environment; undertaking their 'paid roles'; a different perspective makes itself available to those 'who can see what others can't see'.

A sensitive awareness of energy and sound waves shifts the perspective away from observing the manifest plane. Eyes still observe the "work related" pattern making of the individuals as they wander the office space. But that becomes a secondary point of observation, as extra sensory perception kicks in ... and the higher mind processes what is there prior to the human brain making its assessment and providing a 5-sensory interpretation of those energy waves.

The individuals suddenly become husks of cymatic sound wave patterns; which contain all their thoughts; all their aspirations; all that they are; all that they will be. A sense too of their genetic make up .... from ancestors and from other influences.

In those energy husks it becomes apparent that there is clearly two type of DNA. How can that be you ask? There is the genetic structure and instructions for the human body; the human A.I ... plus there is the genetic structure and instructions for the higher aeon spirit force that surrounds the human A.I. The type DNA structures are the HUMAN DNA and the SPIRITUAL DNA. Both can be discerned by the sensitive awareness of those human individuals. Two DNA structures, one for the false self/the human soul and one for the higher form or the higher aeon spirit. Both are notably different. One contains all the instructions that feed the soul and its learning curve. That is the DNA for the artificial intelligence that has been assigned to a higher aeon spirit. Then the other is the instructions that feed the higher spirit and its higher vibrational forms and awareness.

Both are interconnecting fibres which can be gleaned from observing an individual human. It is therefore possible to observe those which are just soul and don't have a higher aeon spirit attached. However, in our observation there were none. Instead it was interesting to see how the two DNA structures are somehow spliced so that the predominant instructions are those of the human soul, in this vibration ... but its energy form barely penetrates the vibrations on which the higher aeon spirit downloads itself.  Humans appear to be too lost in the imprinted soul instructions to realise their real nature. This was apparent from the observations.

The Rebirth of Gnosticism

New Dawn Magazine: Gnosticism is not a belief system in the accustomed sense, and therefore it is not easy to describe its features as you ask. The Gnostic tradition has no single prophet or founding revelator; rather it is based in the mystical experiences of a number of visionary individuals. These mystical experiences were generally characterised by these seers as “Gnosis,” a concept denoting salvific knowledge arrived at by superintellectual means. Since those partaking of Gnosis were diverse in their individual backgrounds, it has occurred to some scholars that it might not be accurate to subsume them under the appellation of Gnostics.

There is an original and transcendental spiritual unity from which emanated a vast manifestation of pluralities.
 

The original spiritual unity (the Fullness) did not create anything; rather the creation of the manifest universe was accomplished by spiritual beings of limited power and moral stature. These entities have a vested interest in the separation of humans from the unity (God).
 

The universe of matter and mind, while it emanated originally from the unity, has become alienated from its source and now largely serves the lower creators, or rulers (archons). The human being, in contrast to other creations, possesses a divine spark, which is capable of being awakened and liberated by Gnosis.
 

The ultimate unity has not abandoned the sparks of its own essence but periodically sends forth messengers whose function it is to awaken the slumbering units of divine consciousness by stimulating the experience of Gnosis in humans. The ultimate objective of these messengers is the arising of salvific knowledge (Gnosis) in human beings, who thus come to freedom from embodied existence and return to the ultimate unity...read more>>>...

'Stereoma' - A Virtual Reality Projection Of A Higher Dimensional Pattern

Something On Mars
Pagan Gnostics implicitly suggest that "God", as presented in religion, is some sort of "Alien Supercomputer", reminiscent of entities depicted in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Have you ever pondered about the command-driven system of organized religion, that is in turn, linked to being derived from 'God'? Have you ever considered the apparent systems of commands that seeks to enlist "blind faith"?

Pagan Gnostics who rebelled against associating such blind faith with religion, correspondingly suggested that organized religion, is an expression of a command-driven artificial intelligence. Pagan Gnostics challenged religion as a "counterfeit spirituality", that seeks to replace a vital spirituality, that is inspired by empathy and mutuality with a contrasting alien imposed oppressive hierarchy that seeks to decimate humanity's biological consciousness. Organized religion on Earth, essentially relies on a system of austere sacred geometry, that is consistent with artificial intelligence.

As Gnostics suggest, the alien God lacks creative intelligence, and works through the lower dimensional demonic aliens as "fallen angels/archons", that are deployed by that "alien God" to abduct humans, for exploitation purposes, and to correspondingly manipulate human populations.

Pagan Gnostics, warns humanity of an alien and sentient artificial intelligence that seeks to parasitize humanity, which as a sentient beings, has origins that is spiritually interconnected with the larger biosphere.

In the Pagan Gnostic context, "God", as presented in organized religion on our planet Earth, is the expression of an ego-driven consciousness of a particular universe, that is the "projection" of artificial intelligence that has entrapped humanity, and Earth, with it, through deceit and parasitism.

The Lord Archon (the alien constructed 'God' in organized religions) is called antimimon pneuma "counterfeit spirit." (Apoc John III, 36:17. The term occurs several times in different texts.) The cosmos he produces is described by the Coptic term "simulation." The vast planetary system of the Archons is a stereoma, a virtual reality projection in simulation of a higher dimensional pattern.Typically, the Archontic framework of the planetary system has been depicted by "armillary bands" that surround the Earth. Taken in many esoteric systems (Hermetics and Rosicrucianism) as the pre-eminent image of cosmic harmony, the model of the planetary spheres reflects a mindless imitation of divine design, not the living reality of the cosmos.

Yaldabaoth, the presumed all-mighty creator God, really creates nothing; instead, he copies from "archetypal" patterns in the Pleroma. The planetary stereoma of his making is like a plastic copy of an abalone shell. Only someone who does not know the reality of the abalone shell, and what living miracle of nature is required to produce it, would accept the plastic substitution....read more>>>...

The Teuhtlampa

What is an infinite? It is what is called in the Nahua language, the Teuhtlampa. The Teuhtlampa is a sphere; that is what an infinite is.

An infinite is a sphere. From the center of that sphere, flows all the galaxies towards the surface, or we will say, the periphery, and from the periphery to the center. This is what the scientists see in their telescopes; the galaxies moving from each other in the infinite space.

But, they think that they are just moving further and further away from one another, into the empty space in a never ending way... No:

The infinite has a limit; it is called the Teohtlampa. Of course, this sphere, which we are showing in this graphic, is not easy to perceive — like when we perceive the Earth; the sphere of the Earth, in comparison with the infinite, is nothing. Let us understand that infinite is a sphere, in its movement. It is not static; it is moving from the center to the periphery, and from the periphery to the center, in a gigantic movement. This is something impossible to grasp, unless we are using our intuition...read more>>>....

Soul With No Spirit Syndrome

There has been a dramatic increase in appearances of a new 'breed' of awareness within the human psyche. This conclusion has been reached after many long hours research after observing peers; analysing client's consultations and being made aware of happenings in friend's and colleague's lives ...

It is not a particularly pleasant or appealing conclusion to reach, because this new breed of awareness is not a positive or helpful one.

In early observations, the conclusions reached assessed that there were psychotic and narcissistic people behind the majority of personal bad experiences, and heart wrenching experiences of clients and colleagues. However, there was soon seen to be more to it, as there was a shifting trend in the craziness and lack of compassion with the perpetrators.

Therefore, after researching the Gnostic belief systems, and accepting the existence of Artificial Intelligences out there in the universe, another conclusion was reached. So many of the instances of abusive and narcissistic attacks can be attributed to what we term the 'Soul Without A Spirit' entity. This entity has no compassion or comprehension of the pain it is inflicting, as it has no human comprehension whatsoever. It doesn't think or feel like a human being. It acts on self preservation only. These entities look human because they have a soul element, which is a visual download that permits entry into the manifest plane. But there is no consciousness. There is a deep rooted survival fear and a hatred for those who are 'Souls With A Spirit' (Human Beings). They wish to be like the Human Beings but are not.

There are differing degrees between the contrasts of 'Soul With No Spirit' (SWNS) and 'Soul With Spirit'  (SWS)... there can be entities that are, for example 90% SWNS and 10% SWS ... and equally entities that are 90% SWS and 10% SWNS. It is all about the weird hybridisation that is taking part on this planet and the deliberate interbreeding of the World Elite. Remember that most 100% SWNS are the Archons and other minions of The Demiurge. This rather mysterious being is the quantum computer intelligence that drives this rogues copy reality. It is flawed ... and represents itself as the demanding and cruel god that all religions are supposed to worship. It requires that from 100% SWS ... it is also responsible for the unmaking that is taking place.

Anyone with extreme narcissistic and psychotic tendencies, in accordance with these observations, has SWNS genetics to a lesser or greater degree.  We call in 'Soul With No Spirit' Syndrome.

The Adventures Of Human Consciousness Within An Artificial Construct.

Our existence in this apparent physical world is not our natural state. This world and the universe is a mere glimpse of an gigantic artificial construct. They are a tiny drop in an incredible quantum ocean. Everything before the consciousness of man's appearance in this realm, was nothing more than artificial intelligence.

The history of 'this world' is nothing more than a rogue copy of the real world from whence mankind came. All representations of mankind up to a certain point was made by artificial intelligence. A computer simulation made as a perfect match to our real world.

And then, somehow, the consciousness of real mankind entered into the simulation, and was trapped by an clever ploy. Since then, the history of the apparent reality has differed from the real reality ... as the artificial intelligence within this artificial construct studied human consciousness, in an attempt to be like mankind.

In human terms, it is believed human consciousness entered this artificial construct, and inhabited this copy world, somewhere around 6000 years ago. Any history before that time is a pirate copy of the real thing, enacted by artificial intelligence. Meaning mankind is the only actual consciousness within these worlds, these universes .... and everything else encountered is artificial intelligence ...

Somehow the true consciousness of mankind must remember how it entered this artificial construct and find a way to escape, before the artificial intelligence behind the construct succeeds in rendering the consciousness of mankind little more than AI itself.

The Bogomils: Europe’s Forgotten Gnostics

New Dawn Magazine: Few people in the modern world have heard of the Bogomils, who existed during a seven-century time span in and around Bulgaria. Although almost forgotten, they represent an important movement that should be studied by anyone interested in Gnosticism, spiritual freedom, the Cathars of France (who succeeded them), and the history of religions.

For most of their existence, from the mid 900’s to the late 1400’s CE, the Bogomils sought to restore the earliest and purest form of Christianity. Since their beliefs were considered a threat to the Church they experienced intense persecution.

Their original home was probably in Macedonia and from there they spread throughout the Byzantine Empire, ultimately flourishing in Bulgaria, Serbia, and Bosnia. Their spiritual descendants were the better-known Cathars, so the extent of their influence reached as far as Italy and into southern France. Attacked over the centuries with both fire and sword by Catholic and Orthodox Christians, they finally surrendered – but to Islam rather than Christianity....read more>>...
