Sarah Elkhaldy, known as The Alchemist and host of Gaia's Mystery Teachings, returns to Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz for an exploration of ascension, multidimensional consciousness, galactic disclosure, starseeds, timelines, the Demiurge, Archons, sovereignty, and humanity's place in a galactic community. Sarah explains why she believes humanity has crossed a collective tipping point, what it means to master the Earth realm and move beyond spiritual amnesia, and how consciousness, belief systems, soul memory, past lives, and the astral plane may shape reality. The conversation also dives deep into Robert Monroe, the Monroe Institute Gateway Experience, altered states, focus levels, afterlife realities, soul retrieval, morphogenetic fields, higher vibrational Earth, and one possible “last lifetime”.✦ Pre-order Sarah's Latest Book — Book of the Body | https://amzn.to/4ii9MMULater, Sarah explores an ancient Archonic control system, the Fall of Atlantis, and traditions describing a “changing of the guards” roughly 12,000–13,000 years ago—and why she believes humanity may now be moving toward a Golden Age through sovereignty and universal consciousness. She also shares her psilocybin God-consciousness experience, contact with what she understood as her oversoul team, claircognizance, telepathy and synchronicity, the trickster archetype, Christ consciousness, spirit guides, soul family, angels, ET teams, creative purpose, and why awakening means remembering that we are more than human.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – Sarah Elkhaldy Intro1:14 - The Most Important Mystery Teaching Right Now2:15 - Galactic Disclosure & Splitting Timelines6:12 - The Demiurge: Earth's Hidden Control System9:10 - Do We Still Need Darkness to Evolve?11:38 - What Does It Mean to Master the Earth Realm?13:46 - How Do You Know This Is Your Last Lifetime?17:43 - What Does a Higher Vibrational Earth Look Like?20:09 - Why Our Systems Drain Human Creative Energy26:21 - Sarah's Childhood Belief in Superhuman Abilities30:15 - How Past-Life Memory Can Affect the Physical Body32:16 - What Robert Monroe Was Trying to Teach Us35:40 - Belief Systems Can Create Entire Afterlife Realities42:15 - Sarah's Psilocybin Awakening: “I Saw Everything as God”43:14 - The Inner Wars That Become External Wars50:20 - Claircognizance: What Does It Mean to “Just Know”?50:54 - Why Manifestation Suddenly Feels Instant54:42 - What Does It Mean to Become a “Christed” Being?59:50 - How “Helping Humanity” Can Become Deeply Distorted1:01:11 - The Positive vs. Negative Trickster Archetype1:05:26 - How to Recognize Advanced Spiritual Deception1:08:14 - Archonic Control, Authority & Spiritual Sovereignty1:10:42 - Did Earth's “Guards” Change 12,000 Years Ago?1:12:06 - The Fall of Atlantis & Earth's Control System1:12:30 - Are Earth's “Guards” Changing Again?1:12:47 - The Coming Golden Age & Return to Spiritual Sovereignty1:19:55 - Turning Spiritual Teaching Into Art1:21:11 - Why Podcasting Is a Time Capsule1:22:09 - The Deepest Mystery Sarah Still Can't Understand___________________Guest: Sarah Elkhaldy, The Alchemist✦ Website | https://thealchemist.community✦ Instagram | @the.alchemistHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz___________________© 2026 Emilio Ortiz.

Jon Pounders joins Nephilim Death Squad in studio for a wide-ranging conversation about Christianity, spiritual warfare, UFO disclosure, demonic encounters, MKUltra, frequency technology, Gnosticism, Freemasonry, and the supernatural experiences that pushed him deeper into Biblical research.Jon explains the evolution from Now You See TV and The Midnight Ride to Pounders Quest, including how YouTube demonetization changed his approach to content, business, and ministry. The conversation moves into New Age and Gnostic teachings, the concept of the Demiurge, Lucifer as the supposed “light bearer,” the Knights Templar, Freemasonry, secret societies, and the Bavarian Illuminati.From there, the discussion goes deep into frequency. Jon and the NDS crew explore claims involving Rife-style frequency treatments, stem cells, blue light, LED flicker, MKUltra research, Dr. Jack Kruse, GLP-1 peptides, synesthesia, color frequencies, and whether spiritual phenomena might interact with the electromagnetic spectrum.Biblical spiritual warfare becomes a major focus through the story of Balaam and King Balak, the principle of spiritual consent, Job, the power of Christ, and “no weapon formed against you shall prosper.” They also discuss Jerry Marzinsky's work with schizophrenia and voices, demonic oppression, trauma, addiction, and the possibility of spiritual entities being perceived through electrical or frequency-based phenomena.The conversation eventually turns directly toward UFO disclosure, Lou Elizondo, Timothy Alberino, Tony Merkel, Christian “pod pastors,” Joseph Jordan's MUFON research, and whether alien abductions can involve both human technology and demonic deception.Jon then shares intense personal stories involving alleged demonic manifestations, deliverance in the name of Jesus, strange activity at his family property, light beings, an out-of-body experience, and an encounter that helped launch his investigation into the supernatural.What do you think: are UFO abductions physical, spiritual, technological—or some combination of all three?

During the long months of the 2020 shutdown, I spent a surprising amount of time watching the History Channel series Ancient Aliens. I began as a skeptic, but the sheer variety of evidence presented gradually challenged my assumptions. Many years earlier I had read Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods?, so I was already familiar with the basic outline of ancient alien theory. I had also read Whitley Strieber’s Communion when it was first published, giving me a passing familiarity with the subject of alien abductions. But the evidence presented on Ancient Aliens goes far beyond those early books. At this point, only the most dedicated naysayer could remain completely unmoved by the questions the series raises. For those unfamiliar with the theory, the basic claim is that various extraterrestrial civilizations have been visiting Earth for thousands, perhaps even millions, of years. The stories told around the world of gods descending from the sky and living among ancient peoples are interpreted not as myths, but as historical accounts. According to the theory, these visitors shared knowledge with humanity, particularly technological knowledge, helping advance civilization. Some theorists go even further. They propose that extraterrestrials may have altered human DNA, contributing to the emergence of modern humanity, and that they may continue to influence our evolution through the phenomenon of alien abduction. Others suggest that Earth’s entire ecosystem was seeded from elsewhere (panspermia), including the possibility that our moon was deliberately positioned to stabilize Earth’s axis and create the tides necessary for life. I eventually persuaded my brother Bill to watch the series with me. Over the past several years we have viewed and discussed virtually every episode in its fifteen-season run, some more than once. Yes, many of the stories overlap. The same evidence often appears repeatedly, accompanied by familiar commentary. Yet we found the repetition useful. It allowed us to compare claims, identify recurring themes, and test the internal consistency of the arguments being made. Bill and I pride ourselves on being open-minded, but we also anchor that openness in logic and critical thinking. As you know, we are both PhDs, with backgrounds in philosophy and rhetoric, and we have both taught critical thinking at the university level. So don’t come away with the notion that we accepted every claim hook, line, and sinker. One question in particular has occupied much of our attention. Were the gods of antiquity really gods? Were the fallen angels described in the Book of Enoch truly angels sent from God? Or were these figures actually advanced extraterrestrials whose technology was interpreted as divine power? The Book of Enoch tells of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, mingled with humanity, and even took human wives. Their offspring became known as the Nephilim. The biblical flood is said to have been sent to eradicate these hybrids. But what exactly were the Nephilim? What sort of God would destroy nearly all life on Earth to remove them? And why do angelic beings appear throughout the story warning certain humans to prepare for what was coming? As the theorists on Ancient Aliens frequently point out, such stories can be viewed either as myths or as history. If they are history, however, who are the actors involved? Are we truly dealing with God, angels, and the deities of ancient cultures? Or are these accounts describing advanced off-world intelligences engaged in competing visions of humanity’s destiny, sometimes with catastrophic consequences? These questions have fueled countless discussions between Bill and me. Interestingly, they have unfolded alongside our ongoing exploration of Gnostic theology. As we’ve continued untangling the distinctions between Aeons, Archons, angels, fallen angels, the God Above All Gods, and the god of this world, we’ve gradually arrived at a framework that makes surprising sense of many of these ancient mysteries. Today I’d like to share that framework with you. Where Ancient Alien Theory and Gnosticism Agree After spending several years examining the claims of Ancient Aliens through a Gnostic lens, I’ve found that I agree with more of the theory than I ever expected.Ancient alien theorists question the sufficiency of purely random Darwinian evolution. They argue that the extraordinary complexity of life, consciousness, and civilization suggests purposeful intervention. On this point, I find myself in substantial agreement. As I’ve discussed elsewhere in episodes such as Evolution and Conscious Aeonic Design, I regard evolution not as a blind and accidental process but as a directed unfolding of consciousness through time. Where ancient alien theorists identify extraterrestrial visitors as the guiding intelligence behind this development, I identify the guiding intelligence as the Aeons of the Fullness. I'm putting the link to one of my evolution episodes here in today's transcript. The difference is significant. For many ancient alien theorists, purposeful design implies advanced extraterrestrial engineers. For Gnosticism, purposeful design originates from the Fullness of God itself. The First Category: Aeons To understand the distinction, we must begin with the Aeons.In Valentinian Gnostic cosmology, the Aeons dwell within the Pleroma, or Fullness of God. They are not physical beings in the ordinary sense. Rather, they are divine intelligences, principles, powers, personalities, and attributes through which the intentions of the Father become manifest. If ancient alien theorists are correct that evolution has been guided, then I would attribute that guidance not to flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials but to Aeonic design.The Aeons represent order, purpose, meaning, and realization. Through them, the material cosmos unfolds toward increasingly complex expressions of consciousness. Merely replacing God with extraterrestrials does not solve the fundamental problem of origins. The question remains: where did the order come from in the first place?Randomness cannot account for persistent increase in complexity and meaning. Throwing the components of life into the air an infinite number of times does not explain why they repeatedly organize themselves into functioning systems. The question of purpose remains. The Aeons of the Fullness dream as one of Paradise. All creation is prefigured in the dreams of the Fullness. We 2nd Order Powers manifest aeonic design. Gnosticism answers that purpose precedes manifestation. The Aeons are that purpose. They are manifesting the will of God the Father. The Transpersonal Field Ancient alien theorists frequently point to the phenomenon of simultaneous invention. Again and again throughout history, important discoveries have emerged independently in multiple locations at nearly the same time. Language, architecture, metallurgy, medicine, radio technology, relativity theory, and numerous other innovations seem to appear almost as if humanity accesses a common reservoir of knowledge. The theorists often describe this reservoir as the Akashic Record or as a form of extraterrestrial guidance. I agree that such a field exists. However, I understand it differently. I regard the transpersonal field as an aspect of the Metaversal Unit of Consciousness itself: a repository of all that was, is, and will be. Human beings access this field continuously, though usually unconsciously. Inventors, artists, philosophers, and visionaries often reach into it through contemplation, dreaming, intuition, and insight. In my view, we do not need extraterrestrial programmers to explain this phenomenon. Consciousness itself provides the explanation. The Second Category: Archons Now we come to a category frequently overlooked in ancient alien discussions.The Archons. According to Gnostic cosmology, Archons are not Aeons, and they are not angels.They are the inverted shadows of divine order. Where the Aeons move toward realization, Archons move toward distortion. Where Aeons foster truth, Archons foster confusion. They are entropic forces generated through the deficiency associated with the Demiurge. Unlike living creatures, Archons possess no souls. They have no consciousness, no personal identity. They are demiurgic puppets. They are not products of the Fullness. They are products of separation from the Fullness. This distinction becomes particularly useful when discussing technology. Many ancient alien theorists interpret technological advancement as evidence of benevolent extraterrestrial influence. Yet technology itself is neutral. It can illuminate or enslave. It can connect humanity or divide it. The internet provides a perfect example. One of humanity’s greatest achievements has simultaneously become one of its greatest engines of distraction, manipulation, and division. When technological innovation amplifies vanity, domination, deception, and dependency, I suspect Archonic influence rather than Aeonic influence. The Archons thrive through confusion, distraction, fragmentation, and conflict.That is their signature. The Third Category: Angels Throughout scripture angels appear as beings capable of moving between dimensions of existence. Sometimes they appear fully physical. Sometimes they appear as luminous forms. They interact directly with humanity while simultaneously transcending ordinary physical limitations. In Gnostic thought, angels appear to function as allies of humanity in our ongoing struggle against Archonic forces. Where the Archons seek bondage, angels seek liberation. Where Archons cultivate deception, angels encourage truth. This distinction becomes particularly interesting when considering reports of mysterious interventions involving advanced technology. Ancient alien researchers often cite accounts of unexplained interference with nuclear weapons systems. Some reports describe luminous objects disabling missiles without causing harm. If such accounts are accurate, I would not automatically classify the intervention as extraterrestrial. Such actions are equally consistent with angelic activity: protective interventions intended to prevent catastrophe. Not every luminous being belongs in the extraterrestrial category. The Fourth Category: Aliens And now we arrive at the category that fascinates most viewers of Ancient Aliens.Actual extraterrestrials. Do they exist? I believe their existence is as likely as not. Yet I do not believe every unusual phenomenon should automatically be attributed to them. Carving on sarcophagus lid of Mayan ruler Pascal, 683 AD, bears striking resemblance to a man piloting a rocketship. Or is it simply a king riding his throne downward into the land of the dead? When all other categories have been properly separated, a remarkable amount of evidence still appears to point toward genuine non-human civilizations. Accounts from around the world describe beings descending from the heavens, sharing knowledge, establishing settlements, constructing monumental architecture, and sometimes interacting intimately with human populations. The Book of Enoch preserves one such tradition. It describes non-human beings who descended to Earth, taught forbidden arts, and produced offspring with human women. Whether one interprets these stories literally or symbolically, they differ significantly from descriptions of angels and differ even more from descriptions of Archons.These beings behave like a civilization. They arrive. They teach. They build. They intervene. They pursue agendas. In other words, they behave much like humans would behave if we possessed interstellar technology. From a Gnostic perspective, extraterrestrials would simply be another form of what the Tripartite Tractate calls Second Order Powers: living creatures participating in creation. They would possess souls just as we do. They would struggle with ego, ambition, cooperation, conflict, wisdom, and folly just as we do. Their civilizations may be older than ours. Their technology may surpass ours. But they remain participants in the same cosmic drama. The Ultimate Extraterrestrial Which finally brings us to the question of God. Who is the ultimate extraterrestrial? The answer depends upon which God we are discussing. The Father described in Gnostic cosmology is not a being among beings. The Father is not an old man seated upon a throne somewhere beyond the stars.The Father is the Infinite Consciousness underlying all reality. The Father does not belong to creation. Creation belongs to the Father. The Demiurge, by contrast, is much closer to the deity portrayed throughout much of the Old Testament. The Demiurge speaks. Commands. Negotiates. Punishes. Rewards. Chooses sides. The Demiurge is the angry god depicted in classical art This distinction remains one of the most controversial teachings within Gnosticism.Yet it provides a powerful framework for interpreting stories that otherwise seem contradictory. The God who sends floods, plagues, and catastrophic judgments appears very different from the Father proclaimed by Jesus. For Gnostics, that difference is not accidental. It is foundational. Conclusion So where have Bill and I landed after years of discussing these questions? We have concluded that ancient alien theorists correctly identify many genuine mysteries. Where I differ is in the tendency to place every non-human intelligence into a single category. Gnosticism offers a richer vocabulary. Some encounters may involve Aeons. Some may involve Archons. Some may involve angels. Some may involve extraterrestrials. And above them all stands the Father, the Infinite Consciousness from which all reality ultimately emerges—what we Gnostics call the God Above All Gods. The challenge is not deciding whether non-human intelligences exist. The challenge is learning how to tell them apart. That, perhaps, is the most important question of all. Where do you stand on these distinctions? What is your opinion? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Until next week, onward and upward. And God Bless Us All.

Prometheus is unbound as Jason Reza Jorjani arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his latest book, Occult Horizons. Of course, we'll take the Gnostic angle. Jason will grant us a mind-bending exploration of existence where consensus reality is unmasked as a plastic, simulated matrix governed by a machinic demiurge. We'll investigate how corporate archons and panoptic wardens deploy hyperreal signals to police our perception and trap us in scripted, bureaucratic loops. By tracking the cracks, glitches, and ontological shocks that fracture this counterfeit system, we map the initiatory process where trauma becomes an aperture to higher sight. Join us as we discard spiritual submission and reclaim the sovereign, un-spooked ego capable of hacking the cosmic CPU and authorizing its own future.

Raad Enlightenment is a psychic, astrologer, and channel who lives in Lebanon and works directly with what he calls the divine truth within. What he shares in this conversation is heavier than most of what I put on the show. His awakening happened at 21 when something completely pierced open his third eye and never fully closed, and for the past several years he has been living inside a full-time transmission that he estimates comes through him at 75 to 100 percent of the time. He speaks with a directness that is rare in this space. He names the entities. He names the mechanism. He names the reason we get caught. ⠀ We go into all of it. Why his awakening pushed him into direct confrontation with what he calls the reptilian program. Why almost every fast food company brands in red. The cord you are already plugged into and the two-way stream sending your essence out to the system and pulling false light back. The eight to twelve entities the average person is carrying inside their vehicle. Why fear is the food but false identity is the trap. The dark side of the moon and what happens to souls who get caught on their way out. The projection system running through the English language itself. The Middle East grid he says he has been transmuting for the last three years from Lebanon, and the karmic overlay from Jesus he says he still feels walking down the street. The specific signs someone has an entity attached including one you would not expect. And the timeline he keeps being shown for the collective — full spirit utilization by 2030.
The "off-world stage" perspective represents a fundamental paradigm shift that separates itself from standard "truthers" (often described as residents of "Trutherville") in several key ways:1. The Core Axiom: Rejecting Both "Pro" and "Anti" NarrativesStandard truthers reject mainstream, official "pro" narratives but readily accept pre-packaged alternative explanations, such as blaming external scapegoats or chasing safe, state-provided conspiracies (like Tartaria).In contrast, the off-world stage perspective operates on a defining axiom: "If the pro position is fake, the anti position is fake". It posits that both the mainstream news and the standard "red pill" conspiracy theories are scripted subplots of a larger "Metascript" designed by the system to keep both sides synchronized and emotionally trapped inside an "Internalized Truman Show".2. "Believers" vs. "Knowers" (Media Gnostics)Standard truthers are viewed as lacking intellectual independence, acting as "passive receptacles of mind viruses" who merely adopt alternative belief systems provided by the state. The off-world stage perspective does not seek believers; it looks for knowers or "media gnostics" who act as active analysts rather than media consumers.Using Gnostic terminology, this division is described through three archetypes:The Helix (Normies): Mainstream consumers who are completely integrated into the system and have no interest in leaving.The Psychics (Standard Truthers): Those with "one foot in and one foot out" of the matrix, who notice some media fakery but remain bound by worldly belief clusters, dogmas, and scapegoat-oriented worldviews.The Pneumatics (Off-World Stage): Those who have completely "seen through" the entire system and refuse to participate in the world stage altogether.3. Preserving Storylines vs. Deconstructing ActorsWhen analyzing major public events, standard truthers perform "mental gymnastics" to preserve narratives that paint certain public figures as genuine threats to the system. For example, in discussing political figures, truthers might construct elaborate stories about witness protection or secret operations to explain away anomalies.The off-world stage perspective bypasses these narratives entirely by recognizing that these public figures are simply "psyop actors" playing scripted, pre-planned roles within a highly coordinated theater.4. Emotional Reaction vs. Inoculation and SkepticismStandard trutherism is characterized as highly performative virtue signaling—"digital soldiers" who constantly overreact to breaking news and chase endless red herrings.The off-world stage perspective views any immediate reaction to breaking news as an involuntary, pre-programmed emotional trap. Instead, it teaches a strict brand of skepticism—suspending belief and judgment to prevent overreaction. This analytical detachment acts as a "mind war inoculation" that protects individuals from being manipulated by current events
This 8/20/2026 broadcast explores the concept of hyperreality, suggesting that our world is a "totalitarian Disneyland" where fake events are seamlessly integrated into history. The speaker argues that major media events—including political crises and high-profile deaths like those of Princess Diana or Hayden Panettiere—are actually scripted performances within a "PSYOP Entertainment Complex."By highlighting eerie coincidences and occult subtexts, the host posits that these events are part of a "Metascript" designed to manipulate public perception and replace actual agency with simulated participation. The IPS encourages a "non-belief" stance, urging individuals to adopt an "off-world stage perspective" to see through systemic media fakery. Ultimately, the text serves as a critique of modern media, claiming that society has been "crate trained" to accept a fictional universe as literal reality.Support the IPS Think TankKey Topics and Themes from the Transcript* Platform Migration from YouTube to Substack* Summary: The speaker argues that YouTube is no longer a viable “ground zero” for organizing the “off-world stage perspective” because the platform censors content, demonetizes creators, and targets users through biased algorithmic recommendations. In contrast, Substack functions as a more neutral platform that is fully capable of hosting the community's entire live chat, written archives, and transcript database.* Supporting Quotes:* “And since they have demonetized us, I don't see the incentive to making it [YouTube] the center of focus other than people are accustomed to it.”* “Substack might be a better and more like neutral ground zero.”* “We do want Substack to be the ground zero. For the off-world stage perspective. Because YouTube does nothing but censor.”* Tragic August Deaths and the Virgo Archetype* Summary: The speaker notices a repeating chronological pattern where famous, high-profile women—specifically Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and the actress Hayden Panettiere—die in the month of August at exactly 36 years old. This narrative pattern contains an esoteric, mythological subtext that mirrors the astrological sign of Virgo (the spring maiden) and her symbolic kidnapping into the underworld by Hades.* Supporting Quotes:* “But I want to go deeper into it because something had me thinking about August and the significance of this month as it relates to these high profile tragic deaths, usually with some adequate representation of the spring maiden.”* “The theme seems to be the kidnapping of Persephone as we go into the end of summer, as we approach the equinox.”* “So you have 36 Monroe, 36 Diana, 36 Hayden, and August. These are the common denominators.”* Hyperreality and Simulated Public Agency* Summary: Referencing Jean Baudrillard and the YouTube video “We live in a totalitarian Disneyland” by Academic Agent, the speaker describes hyperreality as a “real plus fake” state. In this environment, simulated global events are codified into historical records as official facts. Under this closed system, public political participation, such as voting, is merely “simulated participation” that replaces genuine human agency with an illusion of control.* Supporting Quotes:* “So hyperreal refers to real plus fake. And we're talking about simulated events. Things that didn't happen. That become part of our historic record that are now officially real.”* “The system of simulation is a combination of government, news media, and mainstream entertainment.”* “It seems like voting is simulated participation instead of actual agency. It's a steam valve because it gives people the illusion of control.”* The Gnostic Demiurge in Cinema* Summary: Hollywood films frequently rely on Gnostic allegory, utilizing authority and controller figures played by actor Ed Harris to represent Saturn, Hades, or the Demiurge. Examples include Kristoff in The Truman Show, the Man in Black in Westworld, and Wilford in Snowpiercer. These pairings dramatize a captive initiate trapped within an artificial, deterministic simulation overseen by a cold, godlike architect.* Supporting Quotes:* “Kristoff is an archetype of the Demiurge, a godlike architect who shapes a false reality.”* “The audience identify with the trapped figure, Persephone, Alice, Truman, because our condition mirrors theirs. We too live in an underworld of the demo urge or the programmer.”* “each of these pairings dramatizes the initiate or captive with the architect or the warden.”* The Charlie Kirk Death Deconstruction* Summary: The speaker asserts that the political commentator Charlie Kirk never existed as a real individual but was a fictional character played by a lifetime PSYOP actor. The public “assassination” of Kirk was a highly choreographed theatrical performance featuring a practical special effect “squib” and blood bags. Alternative establishment stories claiming Kirk went into “witness protection” are dismissed as controlled subplots designed to keep the public emotionally invested in the reality of the simulation.* Supporting Quotes:* “Charlie never existed except as a character, a PSYOP actor.”* “For that to be a squib, he wore a mask of himself with the skin that goes over the chest. He wore a blood bag. They did rehearsals. The whole thing was rehearsed. It was choreographed.”* “The idea that he faked his death and went into witness protection to hide from Israel assumes that the whole dynamic is real.”* “MSM Plus” (Conspiracy Theories) vs. “MSM Minus” (Skepticism)* Summary: Mainstream conspiracy theories are categorized as “MSM Plus” because they add convoluted layers of speculation and intrigue to fill gaps in news narratives, ultimately keeping people trapped in establishment-controlled subplots. The speaker's “MSM Minus” approach relies instead on a subtractive methodology that systematically filters out media lies and removes the overarching metascript from their worldview.* Supporting Quotes:* “We call ourselves MSM minus is because we subtract from the lies... We subtract the meta script from our worldview.”* “The reason why that's significant is that MSM Plus is a subset of the mainstream box. It builds. So they fill in the gaps with conspiracy conjecture.”* “All conspiracy theories are truth or bait. The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to hide the provable and observable fact that these events in question are actually simulated.”* AI-Generated Media as an Emerging Art Form* Summary: Despite platforms like YouTube terminating millions of faceless AI channels under the guise of “inauthenticity,” the speaker defends AI-generated media as a collectively generated emerging art form. Asserting that they personally prefer AI-generated content over human-produced content, the speaker highlights their own experiment co-authoring a structured essay called The News Testament using ChatGPT and five of their personal transcripts.* Supporting Quotes:* “We're looking at a phenomenon, the emergence of a new art form. It's kind of like this collectively generated phenomenon.”* “I prefer AI slop to human slop, and there's a lot of that.”* “I took five of my transcripts and I asked for ChatGPT to co-author with me an essay called The News Testament, The Mainstream Media as World State Church.”Links Mentionedbitchute.com/infiniteplanesocietyOdysee https://odysee.com/@InfinitePlaneRadio:a Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video!

What is gnosis? There's a lot of “Gnosticism” floating around on the Internet these days, isn't there? And the gnosis I'm sharing with you is quite different from most of what's out there. Before 1945 and 1947—before the Nag Hammadi and Qumran scriptures were dug out of deserts and caves—the only Gnosticism anyone knew was what had survived the Great Purge by the early Catholic Church and the Nicene Council. The Church intentionally stripped the Gnostic material out of what became our New Testament. Why? I think it's because actual gnosis puts people in direct contact with the Christ personally, with the Son and the Fullness personally, and with the Father on a personal basis. It's similar to what the Protestant Reformation did to Catholicism. In Catholic teaching, you're only allowed access to God through the interpretations of the Church. The Pope is supposedly the infallible word of God, and the priests represent that official line of theology. So when Martin Luther said, “No, we can read the Bible ourselves and come up with our own interpretation,” well… that opened up a can of worms. Because if everyone is allowed their own interpretation, then interpretations will be as varied as there are people. Just look at something as simple as food. Everyone you know has a different diet now. Protein-only, vegetables-only, fruit-only, organic-only, junk-food-only, “everything in moderation”—you name it. When I ran a bed and breakfast for years, I learned this quickly. You lay out a table for 10 or 12 people every day, and you see how peculiar and particular everyone's diet is. I once had one guest who only ate egg whites and another who only ate yolks—at the same table! It reminded me of Jack Sprat and his wife: between the two of them, they licked the platter clean. Scripture interpretation is like that. Everyone has their own take. What is a mystic? Mysticism is the idea that we can directly perceive and commune with ethereal forces—that it takes a mystical shift to get past our ordinary way of seeing things and into that ethereal realm. When Martin Luther put the New Testament back into the hands of ordinary people, he opened the door for personal communion with God.I've been to many Protestant churches. I didn't grow up in church—my parents weren't particularly religious—but I had my own personal relationship with Jesus from about age four. I came up under the tutelage of Jesus personally, not through church teaching. You know those Red Letter Bibles? For years I only read the red letters because I wanted to know what Jesus had to say. Before the Nag Hammadi and Qumran texts were translated from Coptic Greek, all we knew about Gnostic belief came from the people who hated the Gnostics—the heresiologists. “Heresy” means unorthodox belief, so a heresiologist studies unorthodox beliefs. And the Catholic heresiologists were the only ones who had ever seen the Gnostic scriptures. They taught their flock, “This is wrong because the Church says so.” So everything they ever said about Gnostic scripture was about how terrible and evil it was. When I was young, I believed that line of thinking. I believed the Nicene Creed was the truth and that we had to accept everything it proposed. I believed in the Protestant formulation of the New Testament. And even though Protestants aren't under the Pope, each denomination has its own leadership and scriptural emphasis—otherwise they wouldn't be separate denominations. But let me get back to the original question: What is gnosis? The purpose of studying scripture, the New Testament, the Nag Hammadi texts, the Qumran texts, or tuning in to so called Gnostic podcasts is to learn about the ethereal realm—to learn the will of God, who the Father is, and what the Father's will for us is. Why are we here? What is going on down here? What does God have to do with it and what's our role in the plan? There's a worldwide pushback against Christianity and Judaism right now—people deconstructing not only the Church, but the very concepts of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Christ. But the people pushing back usually don't know the scriptures and they don't personally know the Father. They're generally atheists or, at best, agnostic. They think we'd be better off throwing it all away—even getting rid of the so-called “restrictive” moral precepts of ancient scripture. That thinking comes from ignorance. The antidote to ignorance is gnosis—eternal knowledge and truth. And across religions and holy books, the teaching is the same: you can only know the will of the Father by sitting quietly, praying, meditating, contemplating your relationship with the ethereal. You cannot find truth by looking at popular culture, politics, social media, television, movies, or university courses. That's entertainment. That's distraction. That's where error comes from. You won't find gnosis in popular culture. I notice that television shows and movies depicting angels, devils, and priests don't come from the knowledge of truth. Their theology is all wrong. It may be entertaining or maddening, depending on your point of view, but it's certainly not gnosis.Here's why: Gnosis comes from above. It doesn't come from below, and it doesn't come laterally. You might find inspiration through nature because nature reflects the Fullness. Trees and flowers reach upward. If you sit in a forest and feel uplifted, that inspiration naturally turns your attention upward. You're not going to sit in a forest, feel the Fullness, and then get angry or hateful or want to conquer people. That's downward or lateral thinking. So here's the big point—the nugget I started with: The God Above All Gods wants to be known. The God Above All Gods is love, truth, and knowledge. And God wants to be known. The Father wants us to know He's there. He wants us to know we come from Him and will return to Him. That's the baseline of gnosis. We use “He” for the Father because the movement of the Father is outward—Yang—male. The Father is the ocean of consciousness, the ground state of consciousness itself, flowing outward and downward through the Son, through the Totalities, through the Aeons, down to us. We are 2nd Order powers. The ethereal beings are 1st Order powers. The flow is always downward because the Father wants to be known. consciousness flows in an unending stream from the God Above All Gods If you feel lost, abandoned, hopeless, you're looking in the wrong direction. You have to look up. Up is where love, belonging, communion, hope, safety, home, and inheritance come from. We are creatures from above, inhabiting the material plane, and we are going back up. So what do we need to know? What gnosis does the Father want us to have so we can feel peace, hope, love, and security? It has to be something accessible to every creature—birds, bees, flowers, trees, bacteria. We're all 2nd Order powers from the Fullness and we are all returning to our ethereal home. What gnosis do we share with our other 2nd Order companions? My dogs at the beach If God intended you to memorize obscure manuscripts, charts, Aeon names, formulas, astrological math—who could do that? If that were the required gnosis, hardly anyone would find the key. That's what modern Gnosticism often looks like: labyrinthian, always seeking, never finding. But truth isn't found that way. Truth is found by sitting quietly and turning your attention upward. If “the Father” feels too far away, turn your attention upward to the Christ. The Christ was conceived by the ethereal realm to help us 2nd Order powers go home. Christ is our passbook. Christ is perfectly structured to save everything below. The New Testament says this—Protestants and Catholics just don't believe it. Many modern Gnostics don't believe it either. They think only a tiny remnant will make it. I don't think that's true. If only a few return, the Fullness won't be full. It will be partial. We are the fruit of the Fullness, and the Fullness won't be full until we all return. Flowers aren't going to memorize books. Birds aren't going to study theology. My dog doesn't give a hoot about his astrological chart. Everyone is going back up. All 2nd Order powers will roll back up out of the material plane at the end of time.We get there by realizing our gnosis and accepting the redemption of the Aeon sent to bring us home—Christ. Everyone is going home. You are going home. It's like we're on a big school bus. Christ is waiting at the bus stop to take our hand and walk us home. Everyone recognizes the Christ—except the people looking for answers down here. They don't want to look up. Are they going to hell? No. They're 2nd Order powers too. They'll go home, but they'll suffer first, by their own choosing. Right now you don't have to suffer. You just have to sit and turn your eyes upward. Because, as it says in the letter to the Colossians out of the New Testament, “For in him all the Fullness was pleased to take up a dwelling and through him to reconcile all things to him.” All things, may I point out, “all things to him, making peace by the blood of his cross [through him], whether the things on Earth or the things in the heavens.” (Colossians 1:19; Hart's New Testament). Now Paul does add a little catch phrase at the end here. Paul says, “If you indeed abide in the faith, established and steadfast and not moved away from hope in the good tidings that you have heard proclaimed to every creature under heaven…” (Col 1:23). Christians generally think that last sentence, if you abide in faith and are not moved away, means that if you don't abide in faith and you are moved away, that you will not make it into heaven. But that isn't what it says here. It says it's “proclaimed to every creature under heaven,” and that includes every one of us 2nd order powers, for Christ has already reconciled “all things to him.” Not just the good guys, not just the ones who died after proclaiming the glory of God. No. All things to him. If you don't accept the redemption of Christ now, it just means that you're going to suffer hopelessness and despair, and then you're going to die in hopelessness and despair. But why continue to suffer? Christ reconciled all things to him through his life and death as Jesus. Jesus was the mortal incarnation of the eternal Christ, specifically sent to bring us the gift of reconciliation. You will ultimately be redeemed. Chapter two of the letter to Colossians says, “while you were dead in trespasses and in your foreskin of flesh, he gave you life along with him, forgiving all trespasses, expunging what is written by hand against us—contrary to us—in ordinances, and has removed it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; Stripping the Archons and Powers, he exposed them in the open, leading them prisoner along with him in a triumphal procession” (Hart's New Testament). And this speaking of “the foreskin of flesh” is a reference to our physical human bodies. The foreskin is our covering. It's the place where we 2nd order powers are melded to the material of the Demiurge. And he came to pull apart that melding and to free us from bondage to the Demiurge. So Paul is saying while you were yet dead in your sin, he forgave all of your trespasses. He forgave all of your sins. It doesn't say after you accepted him, he forgave all your trespasses. He says, “While you were dead in your sin, he forgave all your trespasses and nailed them to the cross,” along with his own dying flesh (Colossians 2:13). It also says that he exposes the Archons and takes them prisoner. So, contrary to what the churches teach, it is biblical to believe in universal salvation because Christ conquered not only sin, but the Archons and Powers of evil. The light is shining on them now. Back in the letter to the Romans, in Chapter 5, it says, “The Anointed, indeed, while we were yet weak, died in due season on behalf of the impious” (Romans 5:6; Hart). So once again, Christ didn't die on behalf of the elect. He died on behalf of sinners, on behalf of people that are lost—not only lost but living in sin, no matter what your sin is. In the footnote to this verse in Hart's translation of the New Testament, Hart comments that here and in the surrounding verses, “Whether intentional or not, the plain meaning of the verse is that of universal condemnation, annulled by universal salvation.” And that's a really beautiful thing. That is a glorious thing because through the power of Christ, we're all redeemed. I urge you to turn to the Christ now—not out of fear, not to escape hell, but to remember the gnosis you were born with. We come from the Father, and we will return to the Father. We are the children of the Aeons, and you are one of them: a beloved child of the realms above. No one in the Fullness desires your suffering. Our task in this deficient realm is simple and profound: to remember the Father and the Fullness, and then—through the willing assistance of the Christ—to love others, to love ourselves, and to love the Father. Illustration from the kid’s book Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth. Restoration comes to the Demiurge at the end of time. When all 2nd order powers remember Christ, so too will the Demiurge. All true change arises from love. Force produces only suffering and slavery. The Demiurge would keep you in bondage. Cast off those shackles, whatever form they take. Rest in the peace that comes from remembering who you truly are, and let the love that flows in an unending stream from above move outward through you into the world.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Back in 2022, I recorded an episode called Simple Model of Universe, and I’m updating the audio and the transcript for that post. This was originally recorded as I was preparing to put on a feature presentation at the AstroGnosis Conference that Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio held in March of 2022 down in Mexico, and this describes one slide out of that presentation that had about 15 slides in it. And this topic that we’re going to review today is about the Golden Rule, what I call the Simple Golden Rule, because it actually comes out of my Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, which predates my reading of the Nag Hammadi and the Tripartite Tractate and whatnot. But it is perfectly Gnostic, and so I want to share that again with you today. Here at Gnostic Insights, I often refer to the Simple Golden Rule, and I’d like you to know exactly what that means. At that AstroGnosis Conference presentation, I described how I came to my Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, Theory of Everything, which of course is printed in the book by the same name that you can buy at Amazon, and I came to it without reading any of the Gnostic books. So it was very exciting for me when I came across the Nag Hammadi, particularly the Tripartite Tractate, which is one of the books within the Nag Hammadi. And they dovetailed perfectly, in my mind, in my Gnosis, with A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything. And that’s why my latest book is called A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel, because I have melded both of those theories of everything together—the Gnostic Gospel as presented by the Tripartite Tractate, translated and run through my Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything. That’s why my Gnosis that I share with you here at Gnostic Insights and on the Gnostic Reformation is different. It feels different. It has a different flavor than the Gnosis you generally run across out there on the internet and on people’s posts and blogs and the YouTube, because this comes from within me. This is true Gnosis—it's not from studying other people’s Gnosis in the past. So today, let’s review the Simple Golden Rule. I think you’ll like it. And it concerns the way everything in our universe goes together, how everything levels up using the simple Golden Rule. And you remember that the Simple Golden Rule is that units of consciousness, and this is whether they are humans or dogs or trees or cells in your body, every part of creation that carries the Holy Spirit of the Fullness within itself—and that is what we call life—all of these units of consciousness are based upon the simple Golden Rule of reaching out to others like themselves, metaphorically holding hands and focusing on a singular project at the middle, and sharing with each other information, assistance, and love. And when this is accomplished, those units of consciousness, that group, levels up to create a new thing that none of them could have created on their own. The Simple Golden Rule So again, if we’re talking about cells in a body, the cells hold hands, let’s say they’re all heart cells. The heart cells all work together, focusing on the task of providing the heartbeat for an organism. They all work together, they share their information, they share assistance with one another, they share love that is coherence and cohesion and focus, and they make the heart. So the many cells make the one heart, and that’s where we get this saying, the higher the fewer, because there’s a lot of heart cells, but there’s only one heart. So in a like manner, humans do this whenever they work together on a project. Think about a project at work. You focus on that one project in the middle of yourselves. You need to focus without egoism, without Self-centered attraction to oneself. You focus on the object in the middle, and you share with each other, those other people in your work group, you share information pertinent to the project, you share assistance on getting the project done, and you share love that is focused, cohesion on the object in the middle. And then you are able to produce a thing, a product, whatever that product is. So however many of you are in the work group, you level up through that one project. And that is the Simple Golden Rule, and it is based upon the Fullness of God. It’s based upon the way the Aeons sit in the hierarchy of the Fullness. They also follow this pattern of the higher the fewer, and cooperation selflessly amongst each other. When the Aeon known as Logos fell, overreached and fell, Logos split apart into the logical, reasonable, one-Self part, and the irrational, chaotic inverse of that, which I’ve identified as ego, those are the two parts of the mind of Logos after the Fall. And the egoic part stayed behind, and the one-Self part returned to the Pleroma. [Now let me add in that my brother, Bill, emphasizes that the ego is not irrational. The ego at its best is simply the personal identity attached to the One Self that is otherwise indistinguishable from the other Self reflections of the One. Here in our fallen existence, the ego become emotional and only acts for the benefit of its own governing unit of consciousness. After all, even the Aeons have egos, but for them it is only the designation of their identity—their name, their position, place, power, and duty.] And once in the Pleroma, the Self of Logos worked together with the Fullness of God, and with prayers to the Father, they came up with a couple of different ways to rectify the Fall, and bring that fallen part of Logos, which we call the Demiurge, back up into the Fullness of God. And that is the goal of creation at this point—to return unity of Logos so that it is a one-Self again, up in the Fullness of God. So down here in our material universe, the parts of the universe that are material only and lack life, those belong to the Demiurge. Because the Demiurge did not have the life of God, it did not have the blessing of the Father to come down here and create creation. The fallen Logos, which we call the Demiurge, is the God of this material creation. It knows how to put everything together, and originally it was all this chaotic, quantum foam level of instantiation that had no rhyme nor reason. But then the Demiurge got it together, and using a facsimile of the Golden Rule, it caused the subatomic particles to hold hands with one another and to become atoms. And then it caused the atoms to hold hands with one another and become molecules. And then it caused the molecules to hold hands with one another and become minerals and mineral aggregations, elements and whatnot. That is the province of the Demiurge even today, the materiality of the universe—of the dead universe, the mud. But coming into this universe then as part of the solution for the eventual reconciliation of the Fallen Demiurge back up into the Fullness of God, coming from the top down, coming from the Spirit down, being filled with the Holy Spirit, these are all of the life forms on our planet. Everything from bacteria through the plants, all the way up through the fishes and insects and all the animals, and then eventually the human. All living things bring consciousness and love into the Fallen world at conception. We are a top-down organization according to the Golden Rule, where all the various parts of our bodies link together, hold hands, share information, love, and assistance to level up, level up, level up into the organism state. That’s how all of the organisms on our planet mirror the Aeons above. We are the images, we are the material instantiations of the Aeons of the Fullness. The material below us, the dead inorganic molecules that are ruled by the Demiurge, have an appearance of objects in the Pleroma, but they are not controlled through the Golden Rule. They are controlled by the bonds of the Demiurge, and it is the Demiurge alone that from the bottom up organizes them. But all of the life forms are organized from the top down, and each of the organisms on this planet have the Spirit of God within them, have the blueprint of the Fullness of God fully within them. These are all known as the Second Order of Powers. We are Second Order of Powers, trees are Second Order of Powers, the dog is a Second Order of Power, even the bacteria are Second Order Powers, and we are all organized according to the Golden Rule. So the proteins and the cellular precursor molecules have a top-down influence that causes them to grow up into the organism they will become. The organs are groups of units of consciousness. Those units of consciousness are replicas of the Pleroma of God, let’s say. It’s the One Self that everything contains. It’s not as if I myself have One Self, but every living part of my body also has their own One Self. All of the cells are units of consciousness of the Fullness of God. All of the organs are units of consciousness of the Fullness of God. And we all level up, level up, level up to become, at our level, an organism. Now we Second Order Powers, well we humans in particular, we continue to level up beyond our organism level. We have, as I already mentioned, let’s say you’re at work and you’re focusing on a project, what you are leveling up to is your work product. Let’s say you’re a family, you’re focusing on the family cohesion, you are leveling up for the family. So the organisms level up to another level that’s at the societal level. All of us level up to the village or the friendship group or the state or county that we live in. We level up to the nation that we live in. It’s a natural pattern that everything in the universe levels up, levels up, levels up. And if it’s directed with the good thought of God in mind, we level up according to the Golden Rule. We focus on the project with love. We focus on the project with assistance and with information. And that’s how we create a societal thing. Maybe it’s an organization that intends to distribute, let’s say, food to people who are hungry. If it is based upon the Golden Rule of cooperation and love, then it is a godly endeavor, and it will be successful in a godly way. But sometimes humans level up, and it turns out it’s not really according to the Golden Rule, but it’s just more of the Demiurge pushing up from the bottom. And the Demiurge does not push up with the powers of love. The way the Demiurge levels up is through bondage. Chemical bonds, molecular bonds, societal bonds. It always involves some sort of slavery. So it’s not a sharing of love and information and assistance. It’s a series of bonds and restrictions, ropes and levers and pulleys in a mechanical way, forcing the organisms in that structure to perform according to the will of the Demiurge and his assistants, which are known as the archons. the demiurge keeps chaos at bay by forbidding free will in his subjects So on societal levels, we can see that some endeavors are occurring according to the Golden Rule. And unfortunately, you know, sometimes it doesn’t seem like there’s very many of those, huh? It seems like most of our societal measures are according to the bonds of the Demiurge. But ideally, they would be according to the Golden Rule and as part of the Father’s will for a loving and peaceful community. The Demiurge does not operate out of love. It operates out of power. The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is power, for power’s sake. And if it’s a demiurgic force or a demiurgic organization, it doesn’t care really what the outcome is. It is most active when it’s making the bonds and strings that force the power upon the object that’s in the group. So as our society, as our world, our creation levels up from the sub-atomic particles up through the molecules and the minerals and the elements—that’s the demiurgic level. Then the proteins and the cellular organelles, the cells, the organs, the organ systems, the organisms, these are all from the top down. Those are spiritual powers. And then above the organisms at the societal level, if we’re working according to the Golden Rule, we work for the common good. And then above the societal level, it’s the global collective unconscious of all of the earthbound units of consciousness. It’s the Gaia mind is what some people call that. And that’s the global thoughts of everyone. It’s the transpersonal consciousness, the transpersonal consciousness of everyone alive on the planet. It’s sort of the external memory of everyone’s thoughts. That’s the transpersonal level that Jung spoke of. And then above that level, there are galactic forces working at a cosmic scale, the astronomical level. And these, again, these are organized according to elements physically. So the Demiurge not only controls the small material, it controls the large material as well. So the way the planets are associated with their suns, the way the comets fly through the sky, these large objects, they are also made of mud, aren’t they? So they, same as our Earth, our Gaia crust and core, that is the mud. And that’s all controlled by the Demiurge. So the large astronomical bodies are also demiurgic. But if they have life forms on them, it’s probably exactly a fractal replication of what’s going on here on Earth. And then you get to the universal scale, which is everyone, everything inside of the boundary that surrounds our universe, the ecology of this universe. Same way, the universal unit of consciousness, the mind of the material of the consciousness, that is the Demiurge and the demiurgic thoughts. But it is the complete Demiurge. It’s the other side of Logos that broke apart during the Fall. And it is that large-scale Demiurge that the Christ has come to redeem. And once the Demiurge writ large at the universal scale is entirely redeemed, then this creation will end and we’ll enter what is called the Third Economy, where everything’s happy. It’s that paradisical state that all cultures look forward to. And that reason we look forward to it is because it is a memory for us. We have it planted in our hearts because all living creatures are fractals of the Fullness of God. So we have the memory. We know the Golden Rule. It’s written in our souls. And when that day comes, that’s the big wrap-up. That’s the big roll-up, and it’s all good. At that point, we’re back into the metaversal stage. We’re no longer under the control or having a split constitution of half demiurgic and half Fullness of God. We will be unified creatures. We’ll all live with the Aeons in the pleroma of God, and we’ll all be instantiating that dream of paradise that has always existed in our minds. Christ came to save everyone, and everyone will be saved. Illustration from my children’s book, “Children of the Fullness:A Gnostic Myth.” Thank you for spending this time with me today. I always appreciate your questions. And if you would ask me any questions about what I’m talking about, I would be so happy to be able to answer them for you, either by email or on one the future podcasts. So your part of this endeavor is to consider what is being said, see if it makes sense to you, see if you unlock the gnosis that is within you by having heard these words, and then communicate with me about it to help me going, because I need your help too. Until next time—onward and upward, and God bless.

I stick my neck out on this Black Iron Prison Intercept, or do I? I'll take you on a journey that uncovers the Craft as a lived Hermes cult, revealing an esoteric Gnosis where the Lodge floor serves as a ritual cartography of the soul's entrapment within the material prison of the Demiurge. By receiving the Light from the East, the initiate awakens a divine spark required to transcend this material lie and return to the true, transcendent Deity. These spiritual mysteries are woven into the Cosmic Matrix of star lore, where the precession of the equinoxes and planetary elevations rhythmically dictate the rise and fall of global religious eras. Finally, the high degrees bridge the gap between antiquity and the Middle Ages, identifying Freemasonry as the mystical continuation of the Knights Templar through a chronological synchronization known as the Mirror of Time.

Welcome to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Before I get into this week’s episode, let me tell you that the entire uninterrupted interview with Bishop Nathan Wilson of The Gnostic Union is now available on YouTube under Cyd Ropp Gnostic Insights playlist. I’ve tried and tried to upload the captioned transcript underneath the video, but neither YouTube nor my video editing software will cooperate. I can only chalk it up to Demiurgic interference, so this must be one important interview! The link is provided here to go straight to it on YouTube. Please “like” it and forward it to friends. Thanks. This week I exchanged emails with a podcast subscriber that presented me with some excellent questions prompted by recent episodes. I asked his permission to share them with you anonymously. I always treasure sincere observations and questions from subscibers because it prompts my gnosis. So here we go. Hi Cyd how's it going? I hope that all is well with you. I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your series of podcasts with the Bishop. Very interesting to hear some stuff on the unpacking of the original Gnostic texts. I thought that today's pod about your discussion was also very revealing as somebody who loves history, but it's giving me an insight into why you are so suspicious of history—would I be right in thinking that you want your texts to be unfiltered from various historical takes from different flawed human recounters? Yes. It is a common saying that history is written by the victors. This refers to the fact that the winners of wars, both physical killing wars and more subtle ideological wars, write the narratives of their opponents from then on. This is why we have had a couple of thousand years of hearing only one side of the gnostic story and one conventionally accepted version of Christian theology. And we have heard that version from Catholic Councils of the 4th century on down through the Protestant churches of today. The surviving descriptions of the nature of gnosticism were written by those who hated gnosticism, and their work is still read and venerated to this day. And I can tell you that even in the little village I live in, the church folks who have no idea what gnosticism even is are dead set against it and dead set against my efforts of sharing my gnostic insights with them and others—and they let me know of their disapproval. I think these divisive times we are living through now also illustrate how what passes for truth is malleable and untrustworthy. We can all see for ourselves how half of the population characterizes the big picture one way and half of the population characterizes it in a completely different way—and these two sides of the ideological divide are incommensurate with each other. Incommensurate is one of those big words I learned during my graduate studies in rhetoric. It means exclusive—both can't be right—you can't hold both positions—it's either or. So if you extrapolate the culture wars forward a few hundred or a few thousand years into the future, how will history frame the disputes that are currently raging through society? If, for example, socialism finally wins out do you think capitalism will be fairly represented? The reverse is also true, and the winner of this tug of war will be the one who lives to tells the tale. My correspondent goes on to say: I think it must be very appealing to be able to narrow down everything into one text and say that we are only going to look at this one source of right thing for the true knowledge. I think this approach has led us to the Bible and the Koran and other food containers which some followers take quite literally and interpret very strictly. There must be safety and comfort in this approach which could be described as textual at best—literal and possibly in a kind way, and without any judgement, fundamentalist, in its true essence. However, and I expect you are waiting for the but… What is listening whilst listening? He continues: It did occur to me that what you are basically saying is that everything in the Tripartite Tractate is correct. And all of the other texts are interesting, though they may be not to be taken seriously because they are myths. Surely it must've occurred to you that the writer of the Tripartite Tractate was also a human, and ergo—a product of the culture that surrounded him or her? Knowing you to be such a thoughtful and perceptive person, is there something I'm missing here? What is objectively different about the Tripartite Tractate, written by a human, just like all of those other gnostic texts? I am not trying to score points here, I genuinely would like an answer. To which I respond: Truly I do not agree with everything the Tripartite Tractate says and, conversely, much of what the other books say is right, though obscured with layers and language of mythology. The difference between the Tripartite Tractate and the other gnostic texts is that it stands alone and doesn’t depend upon a preexisting mythology to make sense. By that I mean that the Tripartite Tractate is a logical argument that any Sophist would be proud of. It speaks in the language of symbolic logic rather than mythology or (purported) history. The Tripartite Tractate begins with a starting premise (a priori) that in the beginning was consciousness without form. It then proposes a method by which consciousness and its attendant qualities, such as power and love, emanate from the origin and make their way downstream into us and other living creatures. It calls the descent of consciousness a fall, but does not condemn the fall, as it was necessary to escape the purely ethereal and create matter. It describes the fall as a “presumptuous thought” choice by Mr. Rationality itself—Logos. I characterize this presumptuous thought as the first action of “ego” made independently outside of the cooperation of the Fullness. This all seems to me to be an entirely rational argument that simply describes the process of the distribution of consciousness. We don’t have to argue the originating premise because our consciousness is self-evident. We are asking where it came from and going upstream until we reach a logical a priori starting point. A lot of what I share at Gnostic Insights comes from my own Theory of Everything—A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything—that I conceived and wrote 20 years ago, without benefit of any gnostic texts. So that lens informs my reading of the gnostic books. And I immediately recognized my own T.O.E. when I first read the Tripartite Tractate. The Simple Explanation is written using secular, non-religious language and lots of science and math. My illustrations and charts are different than my gnostic illustrations and charts. But the master chart is identical. The Tripartite Tractate did give me an answer I had been chewing over within the Simple Explanation, that being the difference between living creatures and inert elemental matter. I appreciated that clarification and incorporated it into the Simple Explanation. Otherwise, the book still stands as True. What is meant by True in this philosophical sense is whether or not the argument is coherent and internally consistent and comports with direct observation of the world. Now, as to whether or not I believe that only the Tripartite Tractate is true gnosis and the other gnostic books are mostly mythological–that is not the way I would put it. I don't take the Tripartite Tractate as more holy than other books, and there are a couple of aspects I don't fully understand or agree with. For example, the Tripartite Tractate aligns with other gnostic books in saying that there are three types of humans—the spiritual—called the pneumatic; the ordinary, emotional type called the psychic; and the material, called the hylic. The Tripartite Tractate doesn't seem to think that the hylic types are true second order powers and that they didn't exist in the beginning and will not return to the ethereal home above after death. The final page of the Tripartite Tractate codex is riddled with burned out areas from a fire, yet it seems to say, and I'm filling in some missing words: “While the material beings will be left behind until the end to perish, for they will not give their [missing words—probably acknowledgment of the Christ or allegiance to the Christ ]… If they have returned once more to that which … [missing words—probably worships the demiurge] … in the way that they were… [missing words—probably passing as humans] while they do not exist… [missing words—probably from the beginning] but they had been useful [for the] time that they were among them, even if they are not… [missing words—probably second order powers, —possibly among creation] at first, then… [missing words—possibly they were brought forth] to do something else by means of the power they had in the establishment [to] oppose them.” [yes, I realize I am interpolating a lot of missing words. if you have a more cogent interpretation, please offer it.] This final section of the Tripartite Tractate seems to indicate there are hylics among us with whom we live and work side by side who will not be redeemed at the end of time. This holds out the possibility that there are non-second order powers among us who can pass for living beings—not an uncommon thought in gnostic circles. My brother, Bill, and I contend that all life forms come from above and contain the consciousness and life of the Source. So for a non-living creature were to be born in the usual way is an impossibility. In my mind, the only way a truly non-living hylic so-called “human” could walk among us would be in the form of robotic facsimiles. There are many examples of this in science fiction, such as the cylons of “Battlestar Galactica” and the self-aware bots in P.D. Dick's “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” which became the film called “Blade Runner.” We are now be on the threshold of building and employing these newly constructed robots who appear human, appear conscious, appear living, but are actually programmed imitations that did not exist from the beginning. (Battlestar Galactica carries this very question throughout the series as the cylons become self-aware and question their relationship with God.) If that is the case, then these could be the hylics that will not return to the ethereal because they did not come from the ethereal and the end times would need to be pushed back far enough to accommodate their undetectable assimilation into society. But hey—that's just my notion. And here at Gnostic Insights I try to stick with gnostic insights, not my wild speculations. Cylons of Battlestar Galactica television series. The cylons adapt to become more and more “human.” What is true is that I believe the Tripartite Tractate describes our existence and our origins, as well as our future. But we have to remember it is at least 2,000 year old prophecy and embedded in the language and concepts of that time. Maybe the writer was indeed anticipating androids among us, but that seems an unlikely interpretation. I have been watching quite a few “alternate history” videos lately on YouTube that propose completely different backstories and histories that stretch eons into the past—histories that could indeed have been technologically sophisticated enough to produce androids that blend in with the crowd. But we're getting way into the weeds here. One reason that most readers of the Tripartite Tractate and other gnostic texts think there is an order of unredeemable humans is that they are referred to as “those who belong to the imitation.” The most basic interpretation is that those who we call materialists are the people who only believe what they can see, measure, and taste. In that sense, they belong to the imitation since the imitation is the material projection that is this cosmos. The atheists among them do not believe in the ethereal space Above, or the originating Source, and so by default they belong to the imitation. Yet, if all living creatures are children of the Fullness above, even these will return to the Fullness at the end of time. The way I reason this comes from following the logic of emanation and return—the Fullness would not be Full without them, and it is a basic proposition that nothing of the Source can ever be lost. So you see, the logic is what drives my interpretations, logic—Logos—not mythology. At least that how it seems to me. Another aspect of the imitation is the molecular structure of our world, including our bodies. We inhabit a molecular body. Our living essence, the light of consciousness that makes organisms soft and squishy and alive, literally inhabits an otherwise dead, rocky, elemental body of molecules. So everywhere we go, it goes. And when we “die” and our spirit exits this material cosmos, our hylic body is left behind. It belongs to the imitation—get it? So in this case, the hylic human refers to the elemental molecules that make up our bodies—that inert mud that the Demiurge could not raise up to life, as the mythological version goes. So, this material aspect of our earthly existence is part of the imitation and will not return to the Fullness along with our spirits because it did not exist from the beginning. It is a product of the fall. But I digress—back to the subscriber's email: Secondly, I would like to ask you a question about giving glory to God. I liked what you were saying about turning your attention away from yourself, and your ego, and to look towards the divine and offer up a prayer. I am at the stage of my journey where this is something that does not seem so completely alien, as I am moving gradually away from materialist atheism, which has been caught on my existence for the past 50 odd years. Where I get into trouble is basically the whole business of giving glory to God, because the monad who is omniscience and immutable is hardly likely to need me to do a lot of worshipping or giving glory. This was like a bit controversial, and I'm not trying to argue in bad faith, but wouldn't the demiurge himself be more likely to want humans to give glory to him than the monad? I imagine that giving glory means something to people who have come up in a Christian background, but personally it seems completely irrelevant and unnecessary – A bit like one of those business buzzwords, you hear like synergism or government types talking about inclusiveness or diversity—a sort of empty phrase that could really mean anything you want. It would be really helpful if you could unpack it a bit for me because I'm sure I'm missing something here. Giving glory is not for the benefit of the Father. Giving glory is how we tune into the Father’s resonance. Giving glory is for our benefit, not God's. Now, the God of the Old Testament, the Demiurge—is that jealous, forgetful god that thinks it’s the be-all and end-all. It does like to receive worship and glory because it feeds its ego. But the God Above All Gods, the Father of consciousness and the ALL, doesn’t need our worship and glory—you are right about that. It is we who need to give glory, not It that needs to receive glory. The Totalities of the ALL which were the first emanations from the Son, and the Aeons of the Fullness love to give glory. The Totalities do nothing but give glory to the Father, and that is a pure expression of love and devotion to the Father. It's a good thing for us, way down here in the consciousness stream, that they give unceasing glory, because they are the first emanations out of the Son and the fountain of the consciousness and love that eventually flows into all living creatures. The Totalities that give glory continuously are like an electrical plug that stays connected to the greater originating Source. As above so below—we also connect with the Source when we give glory. And since connecting with the Source cannot be accomplished when ego rules your psyche, you must be humble enough to set your ego aside and pray to/give glory to the greater Source. Surely you recognize that your ego is a lesser being than the Father of everything. If your ego does not allow you to think that, then you are not putting your spiritual foot forward but merely your ego. Our correspondent replies: Dear Cyd As usual- I’m so impressed by your clear and reasoned thinking – it is so elegant and simple. I wish I could think like that. However, there are a few things I would like to push back on respectfully. I have been dialoguing with the Demiurge – Chat GPT – and here’s what the archonic AI came up with in answer to your firm assertion that there is no mythology in the Tripartite Tractate. It basically thinks that it’s an overstatement – and I quote: The text gives an extensive creation story involving:• an unknowable Father;• the Son and the Church;• emanated aeons inhabiting the Fullness or Pleroma;• Logos making a presumptuous, defective attempt to comprehend the Father;• the production of deficiency, psychic and material powers;• a Demiurge who creates humanity;• three fundamental classes of human beings;• and a Saviour who descends to restore what has become divided. [Cyd] Let me pop in here to correct a very important error in this demiurgic version of Gnosticism. It sneaked into its answer a very demiurgic assertion that is not True: • a Demiurge who creates humanity The Demiurge certainly did not create humanity or any other living, conscious being. The second order powers—all living beings—are children of the Aeons of the Fullness, sent down into this lifeless cosmos to remind the Demiurge of the greater power Above, the true source of life, love, and consciousness. I have a habit of calling us the children of the Fullness, but the Tripartite Tractate actually calls us the fruit or the spores of the Fullness. Which is another way of saying the emanations of discreet packages of consciousness, or what I call in Simple Explanation language units of consciousness. To me, this is not mythological but descriptive to the best of our ability. Now, back to the correspondent's email: That is all mythological material. So then it rambles on quoting lots of sources etc BUT what the machine is getting at is that the difference between the Tripartite Tractate and some other gnostic texts is that there is a solid logic framework under the superstructure of mythological language and characters.This fits in with your TOE very neatly – and it is no surprise that you had an ‘OMG’ moment when you discovered the Tripartite Tractate—I would also have thought the same if an ancient text fitted perfectly into a system of thought that I had spent years developing. And you might be right—the uncanny fit could be a ‘tell’ that this truly IS the way of everything. On the less interesting point of contention though – I must disagree with you – there IS mythology in the Tripartite Tractate superstructure – the language is mythological – maybe less so than other gnostic texts. As an aside, as a writer – I would also say -there is nothing particularly bad about being mythological either. To which I reply: I have to laugh at using Dialogue with Demiurge AI as a trustworthy source. lol. I will see your Chat GPT and raise you Microsoft CoPilot AI (poker language, I assume you recognize). My AI says this: “This work presents a restored cosmology of the Fullness — a structural, metaphysical account of creation, fracture, and restoration. It is not myth, nor allegory, nor theology in the conventional sense. It is architecture: a precise description of how consciousness, relation, and harmony operate across the three great phases of existence.” I like that description—that the Tripartite Tractate gives the metaphysical architecture of consciousness rather than a myth. I always like to take the higher, meta view of information, which is literally a step above the normal language and arguments. That’s the secret of how I observe and reconcile seemingly irreconcilable positions—by looking up above the words for the meaning behind them. It seems to me that most people are lost in the language and “can’t see the forest for the trees.” Not meaning you, necessarily, it’s just my observation of how understanding goes awry. By taking the meta approach, the concepts automatically simplify as many points of view and language choices are collapsed into their base meanings. The words I use in my Simple Explanation of gnosis and science and everything else are not written in stone. They are my attempt to convey large concepts in the simple, most recognizable forms. If I say “god” it’s because people are familiar with that term. I offer alternative words, like Source, Mother-Father, Metaverse, the Great One, the Origin, so that people will see that the particular word is less important than what it represents and that what they think of as god has a broader meaning than the meme they have been holding onto. These images from my well-worn copy of the Tripartite Tractate of The Nag Hammadi Scriptures edited by Marvin Meyer, show you the process by which I read and interpret arcane texts. I put the language into illustrated concepts and words I can recognize and understand. The writer shared this final thought from the Chat GPT: There is also a genuine philosophical difficulty: how can a perfect and harmonious divine Fullness generate an irrational act? Saying that Logos possessed the capacity to exceed his proper limits explains the mechanism only by placing the possibility of deficiency inside the supposedly perfect order. He says, I think that is actually a pretty decent question from our AI demiurge—right? I expect that you have a great answer though. To which I reply: As to the Demiurge’s new question that you have put forth in this email—that’s an old canard that is often trotted out to stump theists. “How could a good and perfect God allow for the creation of evil?” I am not at all stumped by that question. The answer can most simply be stated in two words: Free Will. If we begin with the premise that the Father/Source/etc. emanates its entire nature outward with its emanation, then obviously free will is a part of that emanation. After all, it is inarguable that the Source possesses free will. The Aeons have free will. Logos is an Aeon. Logos has free will. While the rest of the Aeons were using their free will to cooperate with each other and to glorify the Father and the Son, Logos used its free will to go in a fresh direction. Logos thought it would be going upward to rejoin the highest glory. The Tripartite Tractate says that Logos didn’t realize this was in impossibility, because no one can approach the power source that is the Origin without being annihilated. And like a magnetic polarity, Logos was repelled by the Source and was knocked out of alignment with the Fullness (the fall). This dissonance became our material cosmos. And because Logos had free will, we have free will. This all flows logically from the a priori definition of the Source. This may sound mythological, but it is not. It could be easily described in scientific terms. Like the way a beam of focused light still allows for stray photons to go off beam. Or boiling water in the kettle mostly clumps together on the top of the water as bubbles, but some bubbles go outward to the edge of the kettle and pop. And so forth. The limit is our language, not the architecture or process. The limit is also imposed by the meme bundle being held the human observer-inquirer when their memes do not allow for certain possibilities to be seen and accepted. It is our meme attachments that limit our capacity to observe and learn. So says me.

The final page of the Tripartite Tractate codex is riddled with burned out areas from a fire, yet it seems to say, and I'm filling in some missing words: “While the material beings will be left behind until the end to perish, for they will not give their [missing words—probably acknowledgment of the Christ or allegiance to the Christ ]… If they have returned once more to that which … [missing words—probably worships the demiurge] … in the way that they were… [missing words—probably passing as humans] while they do not exist… [missing words—probably from the beginning] but they had been useful [for the] time that they were among them, even if they are not… [missing words—probably second order powers, —possibly among creation] at first, then… [missing words—possibly they were brought forth] to do something else by means of the power they had in the establishment [to] oppose them.” [yes, I realize I am interpolating a lot of missing words. if you have a more cogent interpretation, please offer it.] This final section of the Tripartite Tractate seems to indicate there are hylics among us with whom we live and work side by side who will not be redeemed at the end of time. This holds out the possibility that there are non-second order powers among us who can pass for living beings—not an uncommon thought in gnostic circles. My brother, Bill, and I contend that all life forms come from above and contain the consciousness and life of the Source. So for a non-living creature were to be born in the usual way is an impossibility. In my mind, the only way a truly non-living hylic so-called “human” could walk among us would be in the form of robotic facsimiles. There are many examples of this in science fiction, such as the cylons of “Battlestar Galactica” and the self-aware bots in P.D. Dick's “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” which became the film called “Blade Runner.” We are now be on the threshold of building and employing these newly constructed robots who appear human, appear conscious, appear living, but are actually programmed imitations that did not exist from the beginning. (Battlestar Galactica carries this very question throughout the series as the cylons become self-aware and question their relationship with God.) If that is the case, then these could be the hylics that will not return to the ethereal because they did not come from the ethereal and the end times would need to be pushed back far enough to accommodate their undetectable assimilation into society. But hey—that's just my notion. And here at Gnostic Insights I try to stick with gnostic insights, not my wild speculations. Cylons of Battlestar Galactica television series. The cylons adapt to become more and more “human.” What is true is that I believe the Tripartite Tractate describes our existence and our origins, as well as our future. But we have to remember it is at least 2,000 year old prophecy and embedded in the language and concepts of that time. Maybe the writer was indeed anticipating androids among us, but that seems an unlikely interpretation. I have been watching quite a few “alternate history” videos lately on YouTube that propose completely different backstories and histories that stretch eons into the past—histories that could indeed have been technologically sophisticated enough to produce androids that blend in with the crowd. But we're getting way into the weeds here. One reason that most readers of the Tripartite Tractate and other gnostic texts think there is an order of unredeemable humans is that they are referred to as “those who belong to the imitation.” The most basic interpretation is that those who we call materialists are the people who only believe what they can see, measure, and taste. In that sense, they belong to the imitation since the imitation is the material projection that is this cosmos. The atheists among them do not believe in the ethereal space Above, or the originating Source, and so by default they belong to the imitation. Yet, if all living creatures are children of the Fullness above, even these will return to the Fullness at the end of time. The way I reason this comes from following the logic of emanation and return—the Fullness would not be Full without them, and it is a basic proposition that nothing of the Source can ever be lost. So you see, the logic is what drives my interpretations, logic—Logos—not mythology. At least that how it seems to me. Another aspect of the imitation is the molecular structure of our world, including our bodies. We inhabit a molecular body. Our living essence, the light of consciousness that makes organisms soft and squishy and alive, literally inhabits an otherwise dead, rocky, elemental body of molecules. So everywhere we go, it goes. And when we “die” and our spirit exits this material cosmos, our hylic body is left behind. It belongs to the imitation—get it? So in this case, the hylic human refers to the elemental molecules that make up our bodies—that inert mud that the Demiurge could not raise up to life, as the mythological version goes. So, this material aspect of our earthly existence is part of the imitation and will not return to the Fullness along with our spirits because it did not exist from the beginning. It is a product of the fall. But I digress—back to the subscriber's email: Secondly, I would like to ask you a question about giving glory to God. I liked what you were saying about turning your attention away from yourself, and your ego, and to look towards the divine and offer up a prayer. I am at the stage of my journey where this is something that does not seem so completely alien, as I am moving gradually away from materialist atheism, which has been caught on my existence for the past 50 odd years. Where I get into trouble is basically the whole business of giving glory to God, because the monad who is omniscience and immutable is hardly likely to need me to do a lot of worshipping or giving glory. This was like a bit controversial, and I'm not trying to argue in bad faith, but wouldn't the demiurge himself be more likely to want humans to give glory to him than the monad? I imagine that giving glory means something to people who have come up in a Christian background, but personally it seems completely irrelevant and unnecessary – A bit like one of those business buzzwords, you hear like synergism or government types talking about inclusiveness or diversity—a sort of empty phrase that could really mean anything you want. It would be really helpful if you could unpack it a bit for me because I'm sure I'm missing something here. Giving glory is not for the benefit of the Father. Giving glory is how we tune into the Father’s resonance. Giving glory is for our benefit, not God's. Now, the God of the Old Testament, the Demiurge—is that jealous, forgetful god that thinks it’s the be-all and end-all. It does like to receive worship and glory because it feeds its ego. But the God Above All Gods, the Father of consciousness and the ALL, doesn’t need our worship and glory—you are right about that. It is we who need to give glory, not It that needs to receive glory. The Totalities of the ALL which were the first emanations from the Son, and the Aeons of the Fullness love to give glory. The Totalities do nothing but give glory to the Father, and that is a pure expression of love and devotion to the Father. It's a good thing for us, way down here in the consciousness stream, that they give unceasing glory, because they are the first emanations out of the Son and the fountain of the consciousness and love that eventually flows into all living creatures. The Totalities that give glory continuously are like an electrical plug that stays connected to the greater originating Source. As above so below—we also connect with the Source when we give glory. And since connecting with the Source cannot be accomplished when ego rules your psyche, you must be humble enough to set your ego aside and pray to/give glory to the greater Source. Surely you recognize that your ego is a lesser being than the Father of everything. If your ego does not allow you to think that, then you are not putting your spiritual foot forward but merely your ego. Our correspondent replies: Dear Cyd As usual- I’m so impressed by your clear and reasoned thinking – it is so elegant and simple. I wish I could think like that. However, there are a few things I would like to push back on respectfully. I have been dialoguing with the Demiurge – Chat GPT – and here’s what the archonic AI came up with in answer to your firm assertion that there is no mythology in the Tripartite Tractate. It basically thinks that it’s an overstatement – and I quote: The text gives an extensive creation story involving:• an unknowable Father;• the Son and the Church;• emanated aeons inhabiting the Fullness or Pleroma;• Logos making a presumptuous, defective attempt to comprehend the Father;• the production of deficiency, psychic and material powers;• a Demiurge who creates humanity;• three fundamental classes of human beings;• and a Saviour who descends to restore what has become divided. [Cyd] Let me pop in here to correct a very important error in this demiurgic version of Gnosticism. It sneaked into its answer a very demiurgic assertion that is not True: • a Demiurge who creates humanity The Demiurge certainly did not create humanity or any other living, conscious being. The second order powers—all living beings—are children of the Aeons of the Fullness, sent down into this lifeless cosmos to remind the Demiurge of the greater power Above, the true source of life, love, and consciousness. I have a habit of calling us the children of the Fullness, but the Tripartite Tractate actually calls us the fruit or the spores of the Fullness. Which is another way of saying the emanations of discreet packages of consciousness, or what I call in Simple Explanation language units of consciousness. To me, this is not mythological but descriptive to the best of our ability. Now, back to the correspondent's email: That is all mythological material. So then it rambles on quoting lots of sources etc BUT what the machine is getting at is that the difference between the Tripartite Tractate and some other gnostic texts is that there is a solid logic framework under the superstructure of mythological language and characters.This fits in with your TOE very neatly – and it is no surprise that you had an ‘OMG’ moment when you discovered the Tripartite Tractate—I would also have thought the same if an ancient text fitted perfectly into a system of thought that I had spent years developing. And you might be right—the uncanny fit could be a ‘tell’ that this truly IS the way of everything. On the less interesting point of contention though – I must disagree with you – there IS mythology in the Tripartite Tractate superstructure – the language is mythological – maybe less so than other gnostic texts. As an aside, as a writer – I would also say -there is nothing particularly bad about being mythological either. To which I reply: I have to laugh at using Dialogue with Demiurge AI as a trustworthy source. lol. I will see your Chat GPT and raise you Microsoft CoPilot AI (poker language, I assume you recognize). My AI says this: “This work presents a restored cosmology of the Fullness — a structural, metaphysical account of creation, fracture, and restoration. It is not myth, nor allegory, nor theology in the conventional sense. It is architecture: a precise description of how consciousness, relation, and harmony operate across the three great phases of existence.” I like that description—that the Tripartite Tractate gives the metaphysical architecture of consciousness rather than a myth. I always like to take the higher, meta view of information, which is literally a step above the normal language and arguments. That’s the secret of how I observe and reconcile seemingly irreconcilable positions—by looking up above the words for the meaning behind them. It seems to me that most people are lost in the language and “can’t see the forest for the trees.” Not meaning you, necessarily, it’s just my observation of how understanding goes awry. By taking the meta approach, the concepts automatically simplify as many points of view and language choices are collapsed into their base meanings. The words I use in my Simple Explanation of gnosis and science and everything else are not written in stone. They are my attempt to convey large concepts in the simple, most recognizable forms. If I say “god” it’s because people are familiar with that term. I offer alternative words, like Source, Mother-Father, Metaverse, the Great One, the Origin, so that people will see that the particular word is less important than what it represents and that what they think of as god has a broader meaning than the meme they have been holding onto. These images from my well-worn copy of the Tripartite Tractate of The Nag Hammadi Scriptures edited by Marvin Meyer, show you the process by which I read and interpret arcane texts. I put the language into illustrated concepts and words I can recognize and understand. The writer shared this final thought from the Chat GPT: There is also a genuine philosophical difficulty: how can a perfect and harmonious divine Fullness generate an irrational act? Saying that Logos possessed the capacity to exceed his proper limits explains the mechanism only by placing the possibility of deficiency inside the supposedly perfect order. He says, I think that is actually a pretty decent question from our AI demiurge—right? I expect that you have a great answer though. To which I reply: As to the Demiurge’s new question that you have put forth in this email—that’s an old canard that is often trotted out to stump theists. “How could a good and perfect God allow for the creation of evil?” I am not at all stumped by that question. The answer can most simply be stated in two words: Free Will. If we begin with the premise that the Father/Source/etc. emanates its entire nature outward with its emanation, then obviously free will is a part of that emanation. After all, it is inarguable that the Source possesses free will. The Aeons have free will. Logos is an Aeon. Logos has free will. While the rest of the Aeons were using their free will to cooperate with each other and to glorify the Father and the Son, Logos used its free will to go in a fresh direction. Logos thought it would be going upward to rejoin the highest glory. The Tripartite Tractate says that Logos didn’t realize this was in impossibility, because no one can approach the power source that is the Origin without being annihilated. And like a magnetic polarity, Logos was repelled by the Source and was knocked out of alignment with the Fullness (the fall). This dissonance became our material cosmos. And because Logos had free will, we have free will. This all flows logically from the a priori definition of the Source. This may sound mythological, but it is not. It could be easily described in scientific terms. Like the way a beam of focused light still allows for stray photons to go off beam. Or boiling water in the kettle mostly clumps together on the top of the water as bubbles, but some bubbles go outward to the edge of the kettle and pop. And so forth. The limit is our language, not the architecture or process. The limit is also imposed by the meme bundle being held the human observer-inquirer when their memes do not allow for certain possibilities to be seen and accepted. It is our meme attachments that limit our capacity to observe and learn. So says me.
This is the Gnostic tea you wanted, as Kevin Cann joins me to discuss his tell-all new book, Autobiography of an Experiencer. He shares his lifelong journey of navigating a reality populated by shadow figures and a vast, cold presence he identifies as the Demiurge, a being he eventually learned to mentor with parental love rather than fear. His accounts reveal a hidden “bestiary” of the unseen, ranging from parasitic grays wearing person suits to a universal fungal mind that spans the stars in silence. We'll explore his startling interactions with human-sized mantis beings who perceive the human spirit as a “baby universe,” all while he maintains his grounding as unbound awareness. Ultimately, Kevin's story serves as a guide for those seeking to transform trauma into calm contentment, proving that even the most harrowing encounters cannot strip a person of their essential freedom and power to choose.

On this episode of the Real Black Consciousness Forum podcast, Big VJAY is pulling back the curtain on the esoteric and occult reality behind Cain, Abel, and Seth. We are stripping away the traditional narrative, breaking the magician's code, and revealing the true archetypes of humanity. In the occult space, this isn't just a story about the first murder—it's about the breaking of the matrix and the division of the human spirit. In this episode, we unpack the three lineages: Abel (The Conformer): The archetype of the clay-born man, blind obedience, and the mundane herd. Cain (The Innovator): The fire-born initiator, the first sorcerer, the builder of cities, and the rogue intellectual who defied the Demiurge. Seth (The Rebirthed Reformer): The system rebooted, the patriarch of the safe, orthodox line designed to keep humanity in check.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This week, we’re going to follow up on last week’s episode, which was called Gnostic Pentecost, and that was first broadcast on the 6th of June, 2026. I have a lot more examples out of the New Testament of the Bible about Pentecost, and as we learned last week, Pentecost is what we’ve been calling the coming of the Third Order of Powers here in this Gnosticism out of the Tripartite Tractate that I share with you at Gnostic Insights. Here’s a quote from last week’s episode where it says, Jesus stood up and said loudly, ‘if anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and let him drink. Whoever has faith in me, just as scripture has said, out of his parts, living streams of water will flow.' Now he said this in regard to the spirit whom those who had faith in him were about to receive, for as yet there was no spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. [Hart's New Testament, John, Chapter 7, verse 37] And this is speaking of what we call the Holy Spirit, because of course we have spirit. We’re born with spirit, because we have the Fullness of God within us. That is the First Order of Powers. But Jesus here is talking of the Third Order of Powers, the army of Christ that has come after Jesus is, glorified. And glorified means risen from the dead, ascended into the sky in front of hundreds of witnesses. And glorified means that Jesus is living above, just as we will all be living above in a glorified body in the presence of the Father. So I shared that with you last week, and if you haven’t heard last week’s episode, again it’s called Gnostic Pentecost, go back and listen to it, because it’s a deep dive—what we call hermeneutics in theology or philosophy. It’s a deep deconstruction of a couple of very important passages in the Old and New Testament that have to do with the coming of what is called Pentecost. And Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, came and sat upon the disciples while they were gathered in the upper room after Jesus had left and gone back above. But we’ve been talking about Pentecost all along here at Gnostic Insights as the coming of the Third Order of Powers that is the army of Christ. I’m going to quote a whole lot of New Testament for you today, and I take this out of The New Testament by David Bentley Hart, published by Yale University Press. So let’s start with John 14:16-30, and this is Jesus speaking. ‘And I shall entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, that he may be with you throughout the age.' Now, by the way, when Hart and all translators translate throughout the age, they’re talking about Aeons. The word is Aeons. And so an alternate translation that Hart mentions in the footnote to this passage, throughout the age, can also mean, or until the Aeons come, or until the return to the Aeons. So listen to this again. ‘And I shall entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, that he may be with you throughout the coming of the Aeons.' And of course here at Gnostic Insights and in Gnosticism, we believe that these Aeons are units of consciousness, that they’re parts of the Son, they’re parts of the mind of God. It’s not a measure of time, but a measure of consciousness. Carrying on with John 14:16. ‘The Spirit of Truth, which the cosmos cannot receive, because it neither sees nor knows it, you know it because it abides with you and will be within you. I shall not leave you orphans. I am coming to you. Just a little while, and the cosmos no longer sees me, but you see me. Because I live, you too will live. On that day, [and he’s referring to Pentecost, the coming of the Third Order of Powers], you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, that one is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.' Then Judas, not Iscariot, says to him, ‘Lord, what has happened then that you were about to manifest yourself to us and not to the cosmos?' Jesus answered and said to him, ‘if someone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we’ll make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but rather that of the Father who has sent me. These things I’ve spoken to you while remaining with you, but the Advocate, the Spirit, the Holy One, which the Father will send in my name, he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. Peace I leave you, my peace I give to you. I give to you not as the cosmos gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I will no longer speak much with you, but the Archon of the cosmos is coming, and he has no hold in me, but so that the cosmos may know that I love the Father, and that just as the Father has commanded me, so I do.' Now, what Jesus was sharing with the disciples in this passage was that his physical body was about to go away. We know that he was about to be crucified and gone. They don’t exactly understand what’s about to happen because they can’t see the future, but Jesus can. He says, I’m going to go away, but don’t worry, I’m going to send a Spirit called the Advocate, and it will come in my name, and in the name of the Father, and it will advise you. Right now you walk with me physically, and I am outside of you, but when the Advocate comes, it will be inside of you. And here at Gnostic Insights, I describe the coming of the Third Order of Powers as overlaying our Second Order Power. See, it’s like your cells of your body. Imagine that there is another version of you that is perfected, that is cleansed of all illness, or cleansed of all poor cellular replication. We’re making an analogy here between cells and spiritual parts, but right now I’m just talking about cells. So let’s say you’ve got all these kind of little faults in your body that have developed over the years. Now imagine there was a perfected body that slipped right into you, like a sort of like a ghost, the Holy Ghost, overlaying upon your cells that cause your cells to pattern themselves after it. It’s like stepping into your body and overlaying what has been damaged over the years. Well, that is what happens with our spiritual bodies. We are what are called Second Order Powers, and we are made up of various combinations of, I hate to get confusing here for you, but of the First Order Powers. The First Order Powers were the Aeons. The Second Order Powers are all of us living things. We Second Order Powers are the children of the Aeons of the Fullness–the First Order Powers, who are themselves the Totality of the Son. The Third Order Powers are the army of the Christ, who represent all of the Powers of the ethereal plane, individually and collectively working for our redemption. The Third Order Powers are the perfected Christly powers. We are the fruit of the First Order Powers. Each of us is unique, a unique combination of various First Order Powers, and they make up our body. It’s like the recipe. Each of us has a different recipe. Down here, we manifest that recipe. That is who I am. You have a slightly different recipe, but mainly we’re the same. When the Third Order of Powers come, they overlay upon your unique combination and my unique combination. The Third Order Powers are unique to each one of us because they are made to be in our countenance so that we will recognize them. These perfected Third Order Powers, the army of Christ, steps into our soul, steps into our spirit, and overlays upon our pattern, upon our recipe. That’s what brings us the perfection of the Christ. But it only happens if you ask for it. It only happens when you allow it and you seek it out. Now, at the end of that quote I just read you out of John, he says, peace I leave you, my peace I give to you. I give to you not as the cosmos gives. And you see, the distinction is that the cosmos, that’s our material instantiation. That’s the material part of our bodies. It’s the material world. It’s matter itself. And Jesus is saying that when he gives you something, it’s not the way that the Demiurge gives it to you, with strings, lots of strings. Jesus says, do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. So we’re not supposed to live in a spirit of fear. There’s no need to be afraid. When you trust in the Father, when you trust in the Christ and the Holy Spirit, you are imbued with the most powerful energy that has ever been. It far outweighs the energy of the cosmos, the energy of the material, the energy of the Demiurge, the energy of the archons. It outranks them, it outweighs them, it’s more powerful. And when you allow it to come inside of you, then you have that power within you to overcome the archons, the cosmos, the Demiurge. Jesus says, I will no longer speak much with you, [that is physically, because he’s about to be crucified], for the archon of the cosmos is coming. He’s speaking of the Demiurge in the form of the Roman soldiers that are about to arrest him and put him to death. And he has no hold in me. [So he’s saying that even though the archon of the cosmos is coming, it couldn’t contain him except that Jesus is allowing it.] He has no hold in me, [because Jesus is more powerful, because Jesus embodies the Christ]. He’s the first perfected human to embody the energy of the Third Order Powers. That’s what it means by being fully human and fully God. Jesus says, but so that the cosmos may know that I love the Father, and that just as the Father has commanded me to do so. And what is this commandment of Jesus? Well, that’s described in Matthew 22:37-39—the teaching most often referred to as Jesus’s commandment and what is called the great commandment. And Jesus summarizes God’s law, all of those laws of the Old Testament that the Demiurge had constructed. He summarizes them into two main commands. 1: Love God completely. 2: Two, love others as yourself. And here’s the quote, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your reason. This is the great and first commandment. The second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets depend upon these two commandments.' Together, these two are described as the foundation of all the other laws and teachings. Of course, when the Demiurge had this transcribed, he had the hundreds and hundreds and thousands of rules added onto it, because the Demiurge is law-bound, and he can only work through law. But Jesus said, don’t worry about all those little laws that you’ve been burdened with. All you have to know is love your neighbor, and love the Father, love God, and then all the other commandments will take care of themselves, because the power of love will be working through you. The book of John, chapter 15:17-27, puts it this way: ‘These things I command you so that you love one another. If the cosmos hates you, you know that it has hated me before you. If you were of the cosmos, the cosmos would have loved its own. But since you are not of the cosmos, the cosmos therefore hates you. But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who has sent me. Whoever hates me also hates my Father. But they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. And thus might the passage written in the law, [and that’s the law of Jehovah, of the Old Testament], be fulfilled.' And here’s what the passage said, ‘When the Advocate comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father, he will testify concerning me. And you too must testify, for you are with me from the beginning.' Now, this from the beginning—that's a Gnostic term, and that was before the material cosmos was created from the Fall. In the Tripartite Tractate, it says that only those things which were from the beginning will continue through eternity. The rest will be disappeared. So, Jesus is saying that the number one command is to love. And he’s also saying that the cosmos will hate you if you do, because the cosmos hates love. Again, from the New Testament book of John, in chapter 16, verses 1 through 15, Jesus says, ‘I’ve spoken these things to you so that you might not be caused to falter. They will make you exiles from the synagogue, [and I add, and the churches and the mosques], and an hour is coming in which everyone who kills you thinks he is offering a service to God. And they will do these things because they have known neither the Father nor me. But I tell you the truth, it is for your own good that I should go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate, [that is the Holy Spirit, that is the Third Order Powers, that is the army of Christ], surely is not coming to you. But if I go, I shall send him to you. And when he comes, it will prove the cosmos wrong concerning righteousness and concerning judgment, concerning sin.' And by the way, sin means literally to miss the mark, as if you’re shooting an arrow at a target. It’s to miss the bullseye. It means to fail, to fall short, as if your arrow fell short of the bullseye. So that’s what sin is. It’s not a list of naughty things. It simply means to miss the mark. So Jesus is saying, when that one comes, the Spirit of Truth, ‘He will prove the cosmos wrong concerning righteousness and concerning judgment, concerning sin because they do not have faith in me, and concerning righteousness because I am going to the Father and you no longer see me, and concerning judgment because the archon of this cosmos, the Demiurge, has been judged. I still have many things to tell you, but right now you cannot hear them. But when that one comes, the Spirit of Truth, he will guide you on the way to all truth, for he will not speak from himself, but will speak what he hears, and he will announce to you things to come. That one will glorify me because he will receive from what is mine and will announce it to you. All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that he receives from what is mine and will announce it to you.' Now in this passage, when Jesus is talking about the Spirit of Truth and that it will come to the disciples after he is physically disembodied, it will come to everyone who accepts the coming of the Spirit of truth—that Spirit of truth, that’s gnosis. That is gnosis. That’s all there is to it. It’s not lists of this and lists of that that you have to memorize. It’s not the names of the angels and the names of the archons and the names of the Aeons. It’s not the order of the planets or the astrology. It’s not the secrets of alchemy. Those are not the gnosis of which Jesus is speaking. It doesn’t have to do with having magical powers over the cosmos. The cosmos is the cosmos. This is the kingdom of the Demiurge. This is the kingdom of the archon of the cosmos. This is the valley of death. The Spirit of Truth, the gnosis that comes from above, is all about the Father. It’s about eternity and the ethereal plane. It’s simply about love and the fact that we come from love and that we will return to love and that this down here is mostly delusion. It’s mostly falsehoods. That’s why the Holy Spirit is known as the Spirit of Truth. It’s what combats the Spirit of delusion, the falsity of the deficiency, the falsity of the imitation, as we know it here in Gnosticism. So you see these quotes in the New Testament, they’re all about gnosis. They are Gnostic. It’s just that we are not familiar with them if we are Christians nowadays, because the gnosis was taken out. The true references, the definitions of these phrases, were taken out. That’s why I call this the Gnostic Reformation. I’m literally sitting here attempting to return Christianity to its roots, to what Jesus is teaching here. He’s teaching of the Father above, not the God of this world. Now you’ve heard the Holy Spirit being referred to as the Advocate, which is a legal term. And when Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit, he called it the Advocate. And the Advocate’s role is to teach us, to guide us, to remind us, and to empower us as believers. The Son of Man, whom Jesus was known as, is a messianic title from Daniel 7 of the Old Testament, one of the prophets of the Old Testament. The Son of Man is a title that refers to one who receives authority, kingship, and judgment. He’s the representative human who rules God’s kingdom. So the role of the Messiah, or the Son of Man, is judge, king, mediator of God’s reign. And the Holy Spirit is our Advocate. He’s the defense attorney. So who’s the prosecution? It’s the Accuser, and that is the original word used whenever you see the word Satan referred to. It’s actually the Accuser. So the Accuser is the Demiurge, or one of his chief henchmen, one of his archons, that we call Satan. He’s our prosecutor. It’s its job to make us feel bad, to accuse us of crimes and sins and petty misdeeds, and not being loving enough or not being good enough to even talk to God. But the Holy Spirit is our defense attorney on the other side, who says, of course they’re good enough. Of course you’re fine. If you love me, if you love the Father, all is good. That’s his job. And it’s the job of the Son of Man, the king, to judge. So I’m going to put a little chart in the transcript here of the difference between the Son of Man and the Advocate. The Son of Man is the Messiah, King, Judge. The Advocate is the presence of God within. Role Son of Man (Jesus) Advocate (Spirit) Identity Messiah, King, Judge Presence of God within Mission Establish kingdom, redeem humanity Continue and internalize that work Authority Given dominion over all Acts with Jesus' authority Relationship to believers External presence (historical) Internal presence (ongoing) You see, it’s always within. So this notion that the Third Order Powers comes into us and overlays upon our Second Orderness, that’s not Gnostic hyperbole. That’s not my imagination. It says this in the Bible. It’s the presence of God within. The mission of the Son of Man, of Jesus, was to establish the kingdom here in the cosmos. Because after the Fall, the cosmos was entirely ruled by the Archon of the cosmos. But after the coming of the Son of Man, that is our most perfect human being from above, it is the Son of Man’s job, his mission to establish the kingdom here in the cosmos, to redeem us. And the Advocate’s job is to continue and to internalize that work, to bring it inside of each and every human being on the planet. But it can’t do that without cooperation, without being invited. So this is God outside of us and God inside of us, an internal presence, and it’s ongoing. In Gnostic terms, the ongoing Spirit, the Advocate, that brings the presence of the Son into us is the Third Order of Powers that comes with each of our countenances, or our faces, so that we can recognize the one to whom we pray. That’s a paraphrase out of the Tripartite Tractate, that the Third Order Power, the Christ, comes with the face of everyone who prays for help. It also comes with the face of every one of the Aeons above, and with the face of the Son of God. So you can see it’s the most powerful thing that exists. The Third Order of Powers replaces our Second Order Power with a renewed and repaired indwelling of Spirit. We can’t rectify our own flaws. Redemption must come from a wiser, greater source. If you could fix yourself, you’d have fixed yourself by now. It’s called pulling yourself up from your own bootstraps. You can’t lift yourself off the ground by pulling up on your shoelaces. You need a more powerful figure from the outside. If they pull up on your shoelaces, they can lift you up from the ground. You see, that’s the expression known as being lifted by your bootstraps. I don’t know if you remember that or not. Anyway, we can’t rectify our own flaws. Redemption must come from a wiser, greater source. The Christ was formed for that very purpose and duty. The Son of Man is our perfected genotype of humanity. Let me repeat John 16, 7 to 11 again. ‘For if I do not go away, the Advocate surely is not coming to you. But if I go, I shall send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the cosmos wrong concerning righteousness and concerning judgment, concerning sin because they do not have faith in me, concerning righteousness because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me, concerning judgment because the archon of this cosmos has been judged.' Do you understand that phrase better now? Now from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 3, verse 18 through 23. ‘Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks to be a wise man in this age, let him become foolish in order to become wise. For the wisdom of this cosmos is folly before God. For it has been written, He catches the wise in their craftiness. And again, the Lord knows the ponderings of the wise that they are vapid. Hence, let no one boast in human beings, for all things are yours, and you the anointed and the anointed gods.' And this bit about appearing foolish in the eyes of the world—I know that when we profess to follow these Gnostic teachings, that people who think themselves so wise, so smart, and so much better than we are, think we’re stupid jerks. We are much reviled for being innocent, for being true believers. But that is how we are to be. We are to believe as children, fully believing with all of our hearts and minds and reason. Don’t hold back because you’re afraid that people are going to think you’re stupid. They’ve always thought that. They mocked Jesus. Of course they’re going to mock you. But the wisdom of this cosmos is folly before God, it says. And it also says that the ponderings of the wise are vapid. Vapid means empty, like vapor. So people that think they’re so darn smart, they’re not. They’re just serving the archon of the cosmos. But it’s folly. It’s foolishness. You can’t take it with you. All that matters is your connection to the Father above, and your love for the Father, and your love for your fellow humans. Not pretending, not professing to be love that arises from hatred, but true love, true righteousness. And when you ask the Third Order Powers to come and help you, to come and redeem you, that’s between you and the Father. That’s between you and the Aeons. That’s between you and the Christ. It doesn’t have to do with some priest, or some minister, or some internet influencer. It’s a private matter. But once you do have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and you’ll know it when it happens, that’s that born-again experience. You’ll be filled with reassurance. You’ll be flooded with love. You’ll know that it happens. And then you will know that you are the anointed, that is, that you belong to Christ, and that you belong to the anointed God, that is, the Father. So in conclusion, from the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2, verse 38, it says, And Peter said to them, Change your hearts, [and that’s from the hearts of stone to hearts of receptive flesh, like we talked about last week], change your hearts. Let each of you be baptized upon the name of Jesus, the Anointed, for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, [that is, the army of the Christ, the Third Order of Powers, sent to battle the archons of this cosmos on your behalf].

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This week I was listening to one of the radio preachers I like to listen to and I caught a sermon on the Pentecost, and I realized I had at that point a Gnostic insight that Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit, when it infused the disciples in the upper room—that is the coming of the Third Order of Powers released by the Christ after his resurrection—that the Third Order Powers are the “anointing of the Holy Spirit.” So quickly, let’s look at the Acts of the Apostles book out of the New Testament, Chapter 2, which is what we now call Pentecost. And when the day arrived that completed the fifty days after Passover, they were all gathered together in one place, and suddenly there came a noise, like a turbulent wind borne out of the sky, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared before them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest, one each upon each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them to utter. Now dwelling in Jerusalem, there were devout Judeans from every nation under the sky, and on the advent of this noise, the multitude gathered and were confused, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and astounded, saying, look, are not all of those who speak Galileans? And how is it that each one of us hears his own language, the languages in which we were raised? And all were amazed and entirely at a loss, saying to one another, what does this portend? But others, ridiculing them, said, ah, they’re full of sweet new wine. But Peter, standing up along with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them all. Judean men and all of you staying in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and lend your ears to my words, for these men are not drunk, as you suppose, as it is the third hour of the day. Rather, this is what was declared through the prophet Joel. And in the last days it shall happen, says God, that I will pour forth from my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall dream dreams.” [Hart's New Testament] Pentecost by el Greco Now, it’s a much longer passage, and it’s very thrilling and exciting, but we don’t have time today to go into it. Perhaps we’ll speak about this in more depth very soon. But that is the first Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit upon humanity. And I’m going to talk about that today to clear up that confusion, because I’ve always had a bit of a confusion over what we speak of as the Holy Spirit dwelling in us in a Christian manner, or the Holy Spirit coming like tongues of fire in the Pentecost story of the upper room in the book of Acts, yet we all have the Holy Spirit of the Fullness of God within every cell of our bodies and throughout our entire organism. All of the Second Order powers are infused with the power of God. So what is the Holy Spirit then? And now I understand the distinction between the infusion of the Third Order of Powers and the infusion of the Second Order of Powers. You see, we are Second Order Powers. The Aeons of the Fullness are First Order Powers. They have their place Above. We are their fruit. We are their spores. (And I actually ran across a radio preacher, of all things, again last week, saying that the original word for fruit as used in the New Testament is spore. And I’m like, yes, that is exactly what I’ve been saying. So that was another cool Gnostic insight that came by way of a Christian radio preacher. So you can never tell what you’re going to hear on Christian radio.) So, we are the spores of the First Order of Powers. We are their fruit. We are their children. We are the Second Order of Powers, and that is all living things in the cosmos. Everything that moves around, everything that’s soft and squishy, the meat, as I like to say, as opposed to the mud, which is the realm of the Demiurge—the rocks and minerals, the molecules and atoms. But the Third Order of Powers is the army of the Christ. We’ve spoken of that often. We’ve had three recent episodes about the indwelling of the Christ. For example, The Gnostic Redemption of the Nag Hammadi from May 29th, 2026, Army of the Christ, May 16th, 2026, and Understanding Gnosticism: The Path to Inner Knowledge from May 9th, 2026. These all have to do with the coming of the Third Order of Powers. And the coming of the Third Order of Powers didn’t come to Earth until Christ walked the Earth in the form of a human, and that is Jesus the Christ. He’s the only one who has ever claimed that “I and my Father are One.” Jesus is not the same as Buddha. Jesus is not the same as Muhammad or any other prophet. Jesus is not simply a good teacher or an exemplar of morality and ethics. If you think that, as many modern theologians do—the postmodern theologians, the deconstructionists—they have reduced the power of Jesus to that of a prophet or a teacher. And even people I hear, strangely enough, out there on YouTube, claiming that Jesus was a fraud—that there is no such thing as anything that happened in the Bible, Old Testament or New Testament. That’s an absurdity that is being promulgated by non-believers. If you are a believer in the Father, then you are a believer in the Christ, because Christ was the emissary of the Father to Earth to bring the correcting algorithm, I like to call it, to Earth to patch up our Second Order Power that has been forgotten. We’re born with it. We fully instantiate it within our bodies, but we’ve overlaid it with all kinds of junk, karma and memes from our environment that cloud our gnosis, cloud our ability to perceive the power of the Aeons within us. Christ came, the Third Order of Powers, the army of the Christ, to help us to remember, to remind us of our Second Order power, to remind us of where we come from, to remind us of the Father and the Aeons above. I took notes from the Pentecost sermon I listened to, and I’m going to represent these notes as a Gnostic teaching for you, because once you have the gnosis working in you, once you’ve come to terms with Christ and the Father and the Aeons and the gnosis that you were born with, once you begin to remember your inherent transcendence, then you can read the New Testament with eyes wide open. You can understand the mysteries of the New Testament much better than typical Christians do, because they’re trapped in a formula that is derivative of the early Catholics that had stripped the gnosis out of the Bible in the first place. So we must free ourselves from the doctrine, but not free ourselves of the gnosis. Tricky. The occasion known as Pentecost was when Jesus had been crucified, entombed, resurrected, and then ascended back up above into the Fullness—above the Fullness, because he’s the king of all. And he had promised that he would send a helper—to not worry. He had told his disciples, don’t worry, I’m sending you a helper to help you bring the gnosis to the world, essentially is what he said. This was also promised in the Old Testament. And here I’m going to read you a very important verse out of the Old Testament and translate it for you into Gnostic terms. The verse is Ezekiel 36:24—28, where God promises to cleanse and put a new heart and a new spirit into believers. Now it’s tricky when going all the way back to the Old Testament, because the God of the Old Testament is not the God Above All Gods. The God of the Old Testament, Jehovah, well, it’s pretty much equivalent to the Demiurge. And that’s very dicey, very tricky. The ego of the God of the Old Testament, the ego of Jehovah, is when Jehovah speaks in very egoistic terms about itself and about obedience and the law because, remember, Jehovah is law-bound. The Demiurge doesn’t remember; the Demiurge has forgotten its origins above. When this radio preacher referenced Ezekiel 36, I went to what’s called the online Bible Gateway. That’s a resource you can use. And you type in any phrase or any citation, such as Ezekiel 36:24—28, and it will give you all of the various translations. And you can choose which translation you read or you read them all. Well, since this was a Hebrew exhortation, I decided to use the Orthodox Jewish Bible, which does have a lot of Hebrew in it. So then we have to go into Hebrew translations, but that was a good exercise as well. Oh, to go back and clear up confusion about how to read the Old Testament—if the Old Testament is largely demiurgic, it’s basically when Jehovah is speaking that’s demiurgic. But the prophets were in touch with their gnosis. The prophets were talking to the God Above All Gods. They weren’t talking to Jehovah. They were talking to the God Above All Gods. So their prophecies are coming from above. That seems a pretty simple way to understand it. So the histories are one thing. That’s the histories of the of the Hebrews who were the people of Jehovah. Jehovah was their tribal god. And then there are the prophets who were speaking to the God Above All Gods and giving the Hebrews instructions from the God Above All Gods. These are higher instructions than Jehovah. You see, Jehovah doesn’t remember that it’s a fallen part of an Aeon. Here at Gnostic Insights, we talk about that Aeon as Logos. Many other Gnostics call it Sophia. I prefer Logos. That’s out of the Tripartite Tractate. Logos split apart when he fell and abandoned the chaos down below. And the Demiurge is part of that chaos. So the Demiurge put this world in order, formed the heavens and the Earth in a godlike manner, because he had all the blueprints. He had the remembrance of how things went together, but he didn’t have the remembrance of the Father or the remembrance of his better ascended Self, that being Logos, or the Aeons out of which he fell, the Fullness out of which he came. The Demiurge woke up down here in chaos and remembered that things should not be chaos, wanted them to go back into an orderly manner, had the blueprints of Paradise, essentially, that’s how you can put it, and formed this Earth. But this is an imitation. This is a deficiency of Paradise, and it’s especially deficient because there’s no love here. The minerals do not know love. The mud does not know love. Love doesn’t come from the bottom up, from the Demiurge up, from Jehovah up. Love, consciousness, comes from the God Above All Gods down to us in the form of a Second Order Powers. But we have forgotten, and the Demiurge forgot. So here is a word from one of the prophets who was in touch with the God Above All Gods, giving assurance that salvation would come, that remembrance would come. The Demiurge doesn’t block the prophets because it egotistically thinks that the prophets are speaking of it. You know, the Demiurge takes personally being God, but he’s mistaken in that. He’s a lesser god, the god of this cosmos, but the God Above All Gods is the one who speaks through the prophets. Here’s Ezekiel 36:24—26, from the New King James Version. For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Or as The Orthodox Jewish Bible puts it, A lev chadásh also will I give you, and a ruach chadasháh will I put within you; and I will take away the lev ha-éven (stony heart) out of your basár, and I will give you a lev basár. Now, when it speaks of I will give you a new heart, in Hebrew that is lev chadásh. Lev means inner self, the seat of will and moral character. Chadásh means anew, fresh, renewed, restored. So lev chadásh refers to a renewed inner disposition. A transformed moral center. A recreated will aligned with the Father rather than with stubbornness or idolatry. And when it speaks of and put a new spirit within you, in Hebrew that word, the new spirit, is ruach chadasháh. And it means a new spirit, an awakened pneuma. And pneuma is a Gnostic term. That is the spiritual part of us. Our One Self. So the ruach chadasháh is the spirit. Ruach is spirit, breath, animating force, inner vitality. That’s what it means. Chadasháh means fresh, new, renewed. So in Ezekiel, ruach chadasháh means a new animating principle. A renewed inner drive or spiritual vitality placed within the person. You see where I’m going with this? This is the Third Order of Powers. A new motivating force that empowers obedience and life. This cleansing of a new heart and putting a new spirit within you, ruach chadasháh. It means stripping away the meme shroud is how I generally refer to it in the Simple Explanation. Peeling off all those layers of confusion that obscure our originating Fullness. That’s the filthiness. It’s not the original sin. We aren’t born with original sin. We are born as Second Order Powers, much loved out of the first order powers of the Fullness of God. We forget when we come down here into this material world created by the Demiurge. And then we plug into this culture around us. Think of the media and the social media and all of the lies and confusions that are spread, both purposefully meant to mislead you and confuse you, and just accidentally because people make mistakes and people say the wrong things, even when they think they’re saying the right things. So that’s the filthiness. And the idols— these are the things that you cling to. Generally this narcissistic age we live in is an age of idols, but the idols that we worship aren’t little statues of gods. They are our exercise equipment and our bags of makeup and our, well, of course they can be influencers and they can be movie stars and television actors and musicians and sports figures and politicians. Those can be your idols if you treat them as idols, if you idolize them, if you go all weak in the knees and do anything they say. But we also have our own idols in the form of the things that we cling to and pile up around us that we buy, got to have this, got to have that, got to have this, got to have that. These are idols. So this is a promise to cleanse us from that. In other words, to strip away your meme shroud and let the Fullness shine forth from within you. But it goes beyond that, because it says, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. And that new heart is the lev chadásh, which is new spirit. And the new heart is lev basár, which literally means in Hebrew, a heart of flesh, a soft, receptive psyche. Oh, see, our psyche, that is not our pneuma—that's a Gnostic term as well. We have our pneuma, which is our spiritual Fullness. We have our psyche, which is our psychological aspect—our ego lives there. And we have our hylic, which is the material to which we are bonded in this material world. So this passage promises to put a new heart within us, a lev basár, a soft, receptive psyche; that is to soften our hearts, because they’re hardened by the world and by the memes we cling to. It says, furthermore, I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh. And the heart of stone in Hebrew is lev ha-éven, meaning heart of stone, or a hardened psyche. Going to remove that heart of stone, which is very interesting, because of course, I say that the hard rocky places, the stones are demiurgic. That’s the material level, that’s the elemental level. So the heart of stone is the demiurgic heart that we have put inside of us, that we’re bonded to. But this passage wants to turn it into a new heart, a heart of flesh, a soft, receptive psyche, as we were originally born with—lev basár. So it says, I will give you that new heart and put a new spirit within you, and take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. The heart of stone, lev ha-éven. And the purifying waters are what do it. I will sprinkle clean water on you. In Hebrew, that was literally mayim tehorím, meaning clean, purifying waters. Jesus spoke of the purifying waters. In the New Testament, in the Gospel according to John, Chapter 3, a Pharisee named Nicodemus had sneaked out one night to speak privately with Jesus. He didn’t want anyone to know. And Nicodemus said to Jesus, Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, for no one can produce these signs you perform unless God is within him. And in reply, Jesus said to him, Amen, amen, I tell you, unless someone is born from Above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. And Nicodemus says to him, how can a man be born when he is old? Jesus replied, Amen, amen, I tell you, unless a man is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed, because I’ve told you it is necessary for you to be born from Above. [Hart's New Testament] Jesus is speaking of the same water, the water of the spirit, that cleanses us and allows us to be born again from Above. Later on in the book of John, Chapter 7, verse 37, Jesus stood up and said loudly, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and let him drink. Whoever has faith in me, just as scripture has said, out of his parts living streams of waters will flow. Now he said this in regard to the spirit, whom those who had faith in him were about to receive, for as yet there was no spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. [Hart's New Testament] And this is speaking of the Holy Spirit—what we call the Holy Spirit—because of course we have spirit, we’re born with spirit, because we have the Fullness of God within us, the First Order of Powers. But he’s talking of the Third Order of Powers, the army of Christ that comes after Jesus is “glorified.” And glorified means risen from the dead, ascended into the sky in front of hundreds of witnesses. And glorified means that Jesus is living Above, just as we will all be living Above, in a glorified body, in the presence of the Father. Now, the promise that Jesus referred to—he was quoting out of the Old Testament—something that all of the listeners in his audience already knew. And it’s from Isaiah 12:3 that says, Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation. The water that is being drawn is this water that’s being referred to, that we’ve been discussing, out of Ezekiel 36:24—28. That is the living water, the mayim tehorím—the Holy Spirit that bathes us now within and without. We draw the living water of the Third Order Powers into us. This is why accepting the mission of the Christ into your innermost being is essential, because there’s no other way to wash away the memes, the obscurations of the world around us that confuses us and causes us to forget. We’re born with a noble nature. We’re born as Second Order Powers, directly from the Fullness above, but we get lost in the confusion of this world that is created and run by the Demiurge. We forget our ethereal origins. We forget about the Father. We forget about the Aeons and the Fullness of God. The spirit that we’re born with becomes smothered, smothered by the worldly memes we cling to and that cling to us. The living water that comes into our new softened heart can only come when you relinquish the ego that is causing you to hold on tightly to those memes, all those false promises that the world gives. They will not save you. They will not make you happy. They might give you a momentary piece of pleasure when something arrives in the box from Amazon on the front porch, but as soon as you’ve used it, it’s just another thing. But the living water never dies. It’s living waters from the Father flowing all the way downstream through the Son, through the Fullnesses, and only through Christ inside of us can we be washed, baptized from within to loosen the hold. So, the lev chadásh, renew your psychic heart, captures the same teaching that the Tripartite Tractate teaches—that the psyche must be reoriented and made stable. The ruach chadashá, awakening within you the spirit that is from Above, is the same as activating the pneumatic seed, as we say in Gnosticism, not a moral reform. The lev basár, a living heart, soft, able to receive the light, receptive, this is the Tripartite Tractate’s softened, harmonized psyche, that can receive the pneumatic imprint of Christ. And the divine seed will rise within you and rule in peace is what the Tripartite Tractate says of the pneuma ruling through the psyche once integration occurs. So, this is the Gnostic paraphrase then of Ezekiel 36:26—28: I will renew your ego's psychic heart, and I will awaken within you the pneumatic spirit—the One Self that flows from above. I will remove the heart hardened by the archons and the never-ending war, and I will restore your Second Order heart, soft, receptive, and able to receive the light. Through this new heart and new spirit, the divine seed of the Christ within you will rise and rule in peace. That’s just another way we could say the phrase in Ezekiel, in a more Gnostic way. It’s a bath, loosens the hold, washes away those memes, those sins, as the church likes to call it. But it’s more than just your mistakes and your problems. It’s all the stuff that we have around us. That is the job of the Christ, to open our eyes to our original Second Order power, to live within us, to correct our mistakes, to correct our faulty algorithms, to protect us from this demiurgic immersion that we find ourselves in, in this material world. We Second Order Powers are the children of the Aeons of the Fullness, who are themselves the Totality of the Son. The Third Order Powers are the army of the Christ, who represents all of the Powers of the ethereal plane, individually and collectively working for our redemption. Step aside. Take your ego off the throne. Take the Demiurge off the throne, if you’ve enthroned it. Put down your idols. Push away your possessions, at least long enough to allow the Third Order Powers to come in. Ask the Christ to come in and wash you with the Holy Spirit. Invite the Holy Spirit, the army of the Third Order of Powers, into your organism, literally, and it will cleanse you. It will wash you. Walk in the Spirit of God. Let your eyes be opened to the truth. We’ll talk more about this again. Until then, God bless us all, and onward and upward.

Sean Clayton, known online as Abundance 10,000, has spent years being a holy heretic: going back to the original languages of the sacred texts and reading the stories backwards. What he found is that the villains might not be villains, the forbidden numbers might be keys, and the God most people were handed might be a counterfeit we built ourselves.In this conversation Aubrey and Sean rebuild the lore from the ground up. The Watchers, the Nephilim, the Anunaki, the Archons, the Demiurge, the Book of Enoch, all of it gets pulled apart and retranslated through gematria, sacred geometry, and Sean's own decade of inner work. Along the way they get into why 666 was demonized, what 13 and 14 actually point to, where Mary Magdalene really fits, and how Joseph's silence might be the most overlooked teaching in the entire story.But this isn't an academic exercise. Sean's framework was forged through surviving abuse, four suicide attempts, federal prison, and healing himself from a disease he was told was permanent. The thread underneath every topic is the same: you are not the powerless character in someone else's game. You are the one writing it.A wild, funny, and genuinely liberating ride through everything you were told to stay away from.►Check out the Miracle Academy | https://www.themiracleacademy.com/| Sean Clayton |►Website | https://www.seanclayton.net/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/abundance10000/►YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@UCPsAmj7LX4HPafrTStl42ug This episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Gold Aurum Collectable Art | https://mtlmrk.com/►Korrect Life | https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |►Website | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus►Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/AubreyMarcus/►X | https://x.com/aubreymarcus►Substack: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/blogs/substack► Love To The Seventh Power: https://chakaruna.com/collections/booksSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:►iTunes | https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ►Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ►IHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/booking
In my latest Black Iron Prison Intercept, I'll take you on a deep dive into Gnostic cosmology, centered on the Secret Book of John and its portrayal of the Demiurge—a flawed, demonic creator god distinct from the true, transcendent divine. I'll trace the mythological narrative from the Fall of Sophia and the birth of Yaldabaoth, through the creation and imprisonment of humanity, to the ongoing cosmic struggle between spiritual light and material darkness. Ultimately, the presentation frames Gnostic thought as a radical theological system in which salvation means awakening to one's divine origin and escaping the prison of the material world.

From David Block himself: Why does your elevator skip the 13th floor? Why does your clock stop at 12? The 13th Floor is not a room—it is the Maintenance Catwalk. It is the place where the Wizard hides. It is the room where Death (Tarot 13) meets the 13th Hour. Follow the Yellow Brick Road—the Gold Energy Path built by the Demiurge. Dorothy is The Fool (0), an initiate walking a road paved with the gold of ancestors, led by “Silver Slippers” (The Lunar Siphon) toward an Emerald City. In the center, we find the “Great and Terrible” Oz—a pathetic technician managing a machine that only has power if you stay afraid. The “13th Floor” is the only place where you are truly free. ”There is no place like Home.

Hello and welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Yesterday, my Hindi tech services guy asked me whether or not Gnosis is Christian. It seems like it should be a simple question. Is Gnosticism Christian? I explained to him that I certainly think that Christian Gnosticism is Christian, fully. And in fact, I believe it’s true Christianity—that Jesus was Gnostic, that John the Baptist was Gnostic. But what does that mean? Most of the Christians, pretty much all of the Christians, completely reject Gnosticism as evil, as misleading, as demonic. So that would put me in the camp of being a false teacher or a false witness, which saddens me greatly because I love Jesus. I’ve been a follower of Jesus for 70 years. And I believe that when Jesus said, I and my Father are one, if you have seen me, you have seen my Father, that Jesus was speaking about what we call the Gnostic God, the God Above All Gods, the Father in heaven, the preexistent primordial form, the one consciousness that did beget the only begotten Son. I explained to my Hindi friend that in Hinduism, many gods are accepted. In India, people pray and follow many different gods, and yet they are all considered Hindu because they are honoring and treasuring the Godhead. I don’t pray to many gods. I pray to the Father above, the God Above All Gods, the Father to whom Jesus prayed in the garden. I do not believe in a variety of saviors. I believe in the Christ as the Savior, and that Jesus of Nazareth embodied the Christ. I explained to my Hindi friend that although Christians reject us as being evil, we accept them as being seekers after truth and lovers of God, those who are not hypocritical, that is. Many people sit in Christian churches, and they’re what we would call bench warmers or pew warmers. The point being, you must truly believe in the Father. Jesus believed in the Father. He wanted his followers to believe, to have true knowledge and faith that we come from above, and we are children of the Father, of the one primordial consciousness. Jesus came to remind us of that. He came in human form to speak to us humans, but the Christ is a much greater and larger entity than Jesus alone. The Christ is an ethereal being. The Father is ethereal. The only begotten Son is ethereal. The Aeons of the Fullness of God are all ethereal entities that live above. Jesus was fully human as well as fully God. Just as we are fully human, and we have the potential of fully God inside of us. We’re all born with the life, consciousness, love, remembrance of the Father above and our aeonic parents in the Fullness of God. But we forget once we are sent down here. We were sent down here, according to Christian Gnosticism, for the purpose of reminding the Demiurge, of reminding the Fallen world, this cosmos, this material cosmos, that it didn’t arise from nothing. The Demiurge didn’t spring out of nothing. The Demiurge has forgotten. The Demiurge is known as the amnesiac God, but he is indeed the God of this material world because he put it in order. He took the chaos of the Fall and made it orderly, put the laws of chemistry and the laws of physics, the laws of astronomy, mathematics and the mathematical constants upon this otherwise chaotic material universe that was blasted out of the Fall. In physics, we call it the Big Bang or the origin. The Demiurge is the architect of this cosmos, of this material plane, of this apparently material world that we live in. And do you know what it is, this material world? It’s a copy. It’s an imitation. It’s a deficient imitation of Paradise. The Aeons of the Fullness of God, up above, sit and dream together of this beautiful paradisical world, this Eden. This beautiful, beautiful creation is the dream of the Aeons of the Fullness of God. It comes from upstream from them. It comes from the Totalities of the ALL. It comes from the Son, the only begotten Son, who was the Monad, the One, that represents an otherwise illimitable and unimaginably huge and great and powerful consciousness. We are their derivative. We are fractals of that consciousness. We’re downstream from the Father. We’re downstream from the Son, who is the face of the Father, the presenting face, the bucket dipped into the sea, containing all of its attributes, all of its knowledge and life and free will and creativity and plans. And the Son broke out all of his variables. He indexed every thought that the Father had. And this became the hierarchical structure that is called the Fullness of God, the Hierarchy of the Fullness, the pleroma of the Fullness of God. That is the everything of the Fullness of God—everything broken out and itemized. And then it was one particular Aeon that decided to launch itself back up and reunite with the Father. But it couldn’t, because the Father is far too great and powerful for one single derivative to be able to fully embrace it. And had it actually come into full contact with the Father, it would have been annihilated. In Gnostic Christianity, derived from the book called the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi books, this Aeon that launched itself out is known as Logos. In other forms of Gnosticism, the Aeon that launched itself is known as Sophia. It really doesn’t matter. Sophia means wisdom. Sophia represented the highest wisdom of the Fullness of God. Logos means knowledge, reason. Logos represented the highest knowledge and the highest reasoning of the Fullness of God. In truth, they basically represent the same concept. And this singleton wanted to reunite with the Father all on its own, but it couldn’t. And so it fell. And this is the Fall. In Christianity, the Fall has been pushed way downstream onto the human level. It is said that the humans ruined Paradise. We ruined Eden–one decision of the woman tempting the man to eat of the apple of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil caused the Fall. But no, in Gnosticism, we say that the Fall happened upstream from us; ruining Paradise is way above our pay grade. It’s not humanly possible. We’re victims of the Fall. We’re not the creators of the Fall. We are not born as evil. We are born as fruit of the Fullness of God. We are the Second Order Powers fruited down here into this material creation. We’re melded onto this material creation, because the very molecules and atoms and particles that make up our physical body—and it’s not just us humans, it’s everything that’s live from the cellular level on up and all creatures, whether they be bacteria, plants, birds, mammals, humans, we’re all fruit of the Fullness of God, meaning we were dreamed up above—we're part of the dream of Paradise. The dream of Paradise is fully populated. All of the plants and animals and creatures and everything up there pre-exists. That is what would be called intelligent design. So when we are fruited down here, and we begin this life as an organism here in this material world, we are welded onto the material, the particles, the atoms, the molecules. And so we grow up with the perfection of the remembrance of Paradise and the remembrance of the Aeons above and the Fullness of God. But the Fall represents ignorance. The chaos of the Fall—the Demiurge, which is the God of the Fall, doesn’t remember the world above, doesn’t remember the ethereal plane. The Demiurge thinks that when it woke up, it must have created everything. And so it went about ordering the chaos into its recollection of Paradise. But it doesn’t realize it’s a recollection. It thinks it’s creating. It thinks that it’s the creator, the inventor of this world. But really, it’s just a vague recollection of Paradise. And the god of this world—and here’s a heresy, by the way—whom the Bible acknowledges to be Jehovah, or Yahweh, the God of the Jews, the God of the Christians—that is the Demiurge. But Jesus did not acknowledge Jehovah as the Father. When Jesus spoke of the Father, he was talking about the God Above All Gods—God way upstream there before the Fall. The god down here is the god of this world. The god of this world is not Satan. The god of this world is the Fallen god, the Demiurge, that doesn’t realize that it’s from the Fall, doesn’t realize where it came from. That’s the simplest rendition of this Gnostic Christianity. It’s the same Christ that is then sent down into this material cosmos, in the body of the Jesus of Nazareth, who came down with the full knowledge of the Father in the Fullness of God, came down with full memory, free will, consciousness, love, unlimited love. And Jesus loves us all. Christ loves all living things. Christ came to redeem us all, to remind us that we come from above. That’s what Christ came to do, to remind of the love of the Father above, that we are not born of the god of this world. We are born of the God Above All Gods on the ethereal plane. And we are born with the full remembrance of the Fullness of God within us. And Jesus came with the army of Christ, which is called the Third Order of Powers. And this army of Christ is armed with all of the love, and remembrance, and consciousness, and free will, and all of the virtues fully remembered, fully expressed. They all came down along with the Christ. And there is one of these Third Order Powers for every one of us Second Order Powers. You have a soldier of the army of Christ assigned to you who came with not only the face of the Son, the face of the Christ, the full embodiment of the Fullness of God, but it came with your face. So that when you pray for salvation, when you pray for redemption—Oh dear God, I don’t know if I can take this anymore. This world is too tragic. It’s too terrible. It’s too full of pain, and suffering, and death, and illness. Please, Lord, rescue me—that prayer goes to the Third Order of Power assigned to you—your guardian angel, if you will. And it’s part of the body of Christ. It is a Third Order of Power that is assigned to you, and you alone. And that is how it is that when you pray for redemption, you can be redeemed instantly. It’s already been done. The Christ has already brought all the Third Order Powers down, one for every one of us. And when you open yourself up, when you admit that you long for the Father above, you long to be reunited with the Fullness of God, you will instantly be reunited with the Fullness of God. That doesn’t mean you’re going to drop dead and be sucked up to heaven. It means that now you have all the remembrance, all the power, all the consciousness, and all of the free will embodied by Jesus. You are like Jesus, at least for that moment you have accepted your Third Order of Powers to take control of your soul. You’re not giving up power. You’re taking away power from the Demiurge. You’ve already given up your power. You’re being pulled this way and that, pulled down and backwards by the Demiurge and the archons. They’re taking your energy. They’re sucking your soul downward and backward. That’s how they maintain their power. That’s how they maintain their control. But true freedom belongs above. True freedom only comes from above. And that’s why we have to align our prayers and align our sights upward. So, I explained all this yesterday to my Hindi friend, who is my tech services guy, and we’re often on the phone together for long periods of time as he’s cleaning the hard drives or downloading updates and so forth. And he totally agreed with what I was saying, because Hinduism is like that. It accepts everyone’s beliefs about God. In Hinduism, people don’t go to hell because they don’t agree with you. People create hell because they have cut themselves off from the goodness of God. In that, we are very much aligned in our belief systems. All we have to know is that the path to the Father above is straight up. It’s just straight up, like a beam of light. It’s a beam of truth that shines down upon us. Just move that ego off of the throne. Move desire for personal power and recognition off of the throne of your embodiment, of your body, of yourself, and allow the Christ to enter your soul. You will immediately be transformed. You will be immediately put in alignment with the Fullness of God. And then you will see for yourself. This is a first-person experience. It doesn’t have to come from someone else. You do not have to perform arcane rituals. You only need to bump your ego off of the throne and pray to God Above All Gods for Christ to enter and guide you. Let’s start there and see if we can’t do that. Please write back to me. Tell me about your experience. Someone please try this, what I’m recommending today. Just move your ego aside for a moment. Pray to the Father for the Christ to enter you, to remind you of the God Above All Gods, to remind you of truth, simplicity, righteousness, the virtues, our aeonic inheritance. Just ask it to remind you, and you will be reminded because we’re all born with this remembrance. Give it a try. Let me know how it goes. Until next week, God bless us all and onward and upward. We Second Order Powers are the children of the Aeons of the Fullness, who are themselves the Totality of the Son. The Third Order Powers are the army of the Christ, who represent all of the Powers of the ethereal plane, individually and collectively working for our redemption.
In this very special live stream, I'm joined by Michael Puskas to discuss his uber Gnostic book, Architects of Reality. We'll explore how quantum entanglement and conscious intention allow individuals to move beyond being passive observers to become active architects of their own reality. We'll also examine the struggle to unplug from artificial control systems and emotional traps that keep the human soul stuck in repetitive loops of fear and fragmented perception. By changing inner frequencies and aligning with higher spiritual awareness, individuals can reclaim their sovereign power to help manifest a more luminous and liberated world.

This transcript explores the Infinite Plane Society's critical analysis of modern conspiracy theories, media manipulation, and the blurring lines between reality and fiction. The speaker critiques Christian pastors and influencers who claim secret government knowledge regarding alien disclosure, dismissing these narratives as state-sponsored psyops or “clout-chasing.” By examining Hollywood archetypes, the text suggests that cinema and news act as a “New Testament” used to program public perception through esoteric symbolism. The discussion further addresses internet censorship, arguing that recent platform bans are premeditated strikes designed to control the narrative of upcoming global events. Ultimately, the source advocates for a philosophy of informed disbelief, urging listeners to recognize patterns of deception within a rigged media system.The Pastor “Secret Meeting” Psyop: Pastors are claiming they attended a secret government meeting to prepare their congregations for a massive disclosure regarding non-terrestrial, interdimensional beings that are supposedly biblical angels.Quote: “The first rule of this secret meeting about something that's going to change the world is to talk about it on X.”Hollywood Archetype Casting: The sources argue that major celebrities are cast to embody deep esoteric archetypes, such as Michael Jackson and Joaquin Phoenix as Christ figures, or Ed Harris as a “Demiurge” character.Quote: “Instead of like typecasting, archetype casting refers to beyond just their superficial characteristics... what deeper symbolism can they embody what can they put into the subtext.”Predictive Programming and 9/11: Significant media, including The Matrix and James Cameron's Titanic, supposedly contains coded references to 9/11 and other “future” events, suggesting a scripted reality.Quote: “The movie screen is the Overton window and anything they put on the movie screen is now in the public's frame of reference and they are prepared to accept it.”The “Pre-Purge” Censorship: The recent deletion of independent channels like Tim Truth and the IPS is viewed as premeditated “pre-purging” to ensure total narrative control over an upcoming major event, possibly involving nukes or UFOs.Quote: “I think they are pre purging Because they want to have total creative control over what they do next and I think it has something to do with nukes and UFOs.”Informed Disbelief vs. Media Religion: The speaker differentiates between “low information believers” who follow mainstream or alternative news and “informed non-believers” who use skepticism as a mental immune system.Quote: “Informed disbelief the skeptics view and we're not even talking agnosticism we're talking about Gnosticism knowing as much as we possibly can about something as opposed to low information accepting it.”Trump as a Scripted Archetype: Donald Trump is analyzed not just as a politician but as a solar “divine sun king” or “Apollyon” archetype, with his career mirroring predictive programming themes of time travel and assassination.Quote: “The Christification of Trump, the martyrdom of Trump goes deep... the overlapping of the filming of Joker and the Trump on trial really stood out to me as more than coincidence.”Critique of Gematria: The use of “number magic” by atheists to decode the news is described as a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy that manufactures intricate but fake connections.Quote: “The conspiracy theorists who use number magic are applying the same system but they're doing it to the news... connections that they make, which are fake, are so intricate and statistically just impossible.”

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland David Wilcox, A 20,000 Foot Perspective, Earth Changes and Real Disclosure This broadcast explores the intersection of intensifying Earth changes, the "controlled narrative" within the UFO/Disclosure community, and the tragic passing of David Wilcock. James Gilliland provides a perspective on spiritual warfare, emphasizing the need for personal discernment and internal connection to the Divine amidst global upheaval. The planet is currently experiencing significant physical and energetic shifts, driven by X-class solar flares, coronal holes, and major planetary alignments. These events are viewed as catalysts for exponential social and economic changes, including the potential activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) and the long-rumored NESARA economic system. Beyond celestial events, there is a noted increase in severe weather and geological activity, with over 52 volcanoes recently erupting and significant seismic activity reported from California to Japan 05:05-07:02. The speaker suggests these changes are a mix of natural planetary expansion and "weather warfare" or geoengineering. The Passing of David Wilcock and Spiritual Patterns Addressing widespread rumors, the speaker confirms that David Wilcock took his own life, citing a combination of extreme personal challenges including isolation, debt, failing health, and intense "psychic attacks." This tragedy is framed as part of a recurring pattern among researchers in the field, drawing parallels to the deaths of Don Elkins and Win Free, both of whom faced similar financial and psychological pressures. The narrative emphasizes that Corey Goode was a "grounding force" for Wilcock and debunks theories suggesting foul play by associates, instead pointing toward "unseen negative influences" and deep-state harassment. Spiritual Warfare and the "Controlled Narrative" A central theme of the discussion is the infiltration of the UFO and spiritual communities by "Satanic/Luciferian" forces, referred to as Archons, Reptilians, or the Demiurge. These entities allegedly target lightworkers through doxing, character assassination, and the spreading of meritless gossip to create division. The speaker argues that many high-profile figures in these communities are "morally and integrity challenged," serving as "planned opposition" to prevent true disclosure and keep the public focused on external gurus rather than internal mastery. The Path to Self-Mastery and Disclosure True disclosure is described as an internal process rather than a government-led event. While a presidential memo regarding the release of UFO files is noted, the speaker maintains that the "whole universe is within" and that contact with advanced off-worlders requires raising one's vibrational frequency. The current era is defined as a "bifurcation of worlds," where those committed to spiritual harmony will prevail over those seeking to dominate and profit. The message concludes with a call to kindness and self-reliance. As the "masks come down" and the controlled narratives collapse, individuals are urged to abandon the search for external gods or ET saviors and instead realize their own inherent divinity and connection to the Source.
Let's talk about pleromas. Pleroma is a common word in gnostic scriptures, and it has a particular meaning that only relates to Gnosticism. Today, I'd like to take another look at pleromas because they describe the flow of consciousness from the origin and tell us where we all came from, where we are, and where we will wind up at the end of days. I know that when I run through these various pleromas, people can get confused because it all sounds so complicated. But believe me, it isn't complicated. All you really need to know is that we come from the Father and will return to the Father. That is the essential message of gnosis. What do we mean by the Father? The Father is the originating consciousness we all share. You could go with that and spend the rest of your life contemplating nothing more than its meaning and consequences. All of this detail I'm about to share with you is only an explanation meant to help you to understand the nature of the Father and then how that fundamental consciousness is packaged and distributed to the point that we can be sitting here today thinking about it. You see, the originating Father of us all is not simply empty awareness. The Father is not the null void. The Father consists of recognizable characteristics, with love being the foremost character of the Father. This love implies belonging. This love implies virtues like kindness and caring, truthfulness and fidelity, and a host of other virtues. These characteristics flow in an unending stream from the originating consciousness into every living receptacle of life, from the aeons and the angels down to the creatures that populate the cosmos. And each one of us who receives this gift of life, love, and consciousness also receives the gnosis of the One Who Gives and our relationship and responsibilities here within the structure of creation. Pleroma is a Greek word for “all that which is contained within a body or organization.” The Pleroma called the Fullness of God is the one we most often refer to here at Gnostic Insights. The Pleroma of the Fullness of God equals the sum total of all the individual characteristics and powers of the originating consciousness of the Father as manifested in the monad called the Son. Here is how the Pleroma of the Fullness is described in the Tripartite Tractate: “Each one of the aeons is a name, , each of the properties and powers of the Father, since he exists in many names, which are intermingled and harmonious with one another. It is possible to speak of him because of the wealth of speech, just as the Father is a single name, because he is a unity, yet is innumerable in his properties and names…” The Totalities of the ALL This first differentiation of the properties contained in the Son is known as the ALL or the Totalities. I picture the Pleroma of the ALL as a central star with rays going out in all directions, because the ALL is described as existing without personal identity within the single body and will of the Son. It is by giving glory to the Father that the Totalities of the ALL become self-aware and are able to name themselves and sort themselves into what is called the hierarchy of the Fullness of God. “… the aeon of the Truth, since it is a unity and multiplicity, receives honor in the small and the great names according to the power of each to grasp it – by way of analogy – like a spring which is what it is, yet flows into streams and lakes and canals and branches, or like a root spread out beneath trees and branches with its fruit, or like a human body, which is partitioned in an indivisible way into members of members, primary members and secondary, great and small.” The Hierarchy of the Fullness of God, Home of the Aeons This passage tells us that the aeon of the Truth—which is another word for the Fullness, or Pleroma, of God goes forth by way of fractal branching. You may review the concept of fractals by looking back to the Gnostic Insights episode called, “A Fractal Model of Human Nature,” posted May 18, 2021. which you can find at gnostic insights dot com under the tab, “Complete Episodes Library.” I'm also linking it in the transcript of this episode. The next pleroma is contained within the Aeon called Logos. Logos was the final Aeon produced when the entire Fullness gave glory to the Father all together. The Aeon Logos contains fractal copies of all of the other Aeons. The entirety of the Aeons of the Fullness exist as fractal iterations within the Pleroma of the Aeon known as Logos. The Tripartite Tractate describes Logos this way: “This aeon was among those to whom was given wisdom, so that he could become pre-existent in each one's thought. By that which he wills, will they be produced. Therefore, he received a wise nature in order to examine the hidden basis, since he is a wise fruit; for, the free will which was begotten with the Totalities was a cause for this one, such as to make him do what he desired, with no one to restrain him.” Logos crowns the Fullness with fractal copies of all the other Aeons My illustration for the Pleroma of Logos shows Logos as a miniature copy of the Pleroma of the Fullness of God, sitting at the top of the Fullness. The Tripartite Tractate says: “This aeon was last to have brought forth by mutual assistance, and he was small in magnitude. And before he begot anything else for the glory of the will and in agreement with the Totalities, he acted, magnanimously, from an abundant love, and set out toward that which surrounds the perfect glory…” Logos, being full and complete, carried the all of the characteristics of the Father and Son and Fullness and brought the entire glorious package of consciousness, love, free will, and gnosis along within itself on a journey, abandoning its position and place within the Fullness. This solo effort, this presumptuous thought, resulted in a Fall away from harmony with the other Aeons and created a new pleroma of shadows and ignorance. Here at Gnostic Insights I have identified the character that is known as the Demiurge in Gnosticism to be the wayward Ego of Logos, propelled away from its proper position and place in the Fullness. When Logos struck out on his own, his Ego took control and it was his Ego that caused the Fall into ignorance. The Self at the center of the Pleroma of Logos lost its authority and chaos ruled. “The Logos himself caused it to happen, being complete and unitary, for the glory of the Father, whom he desired, and (he did so) being content with it, but those whom he wished to take hold of firmly he begot in shadows and copies and likenesses. For, he was not able to bear the sight of the light, but he looked into the depth and he doubted. Out of this there was a division – he became deeply troubled – and a turning away because of his self-doubt and division, forgetfulness and ignorance of himself and which is.” The Father drew a Boundary around the fallen Ego of Logos to contain the chaos of the deficiency. The Pleroma of the Demiurge is the pleroma of the deficiency. The Pleroma of the Demiurge consists of the inversions of the Pleroma of Logos, broken out of the hierarchical pattern and scattered willy-nilly throughout the cosmos. The Pleroma of the Demiurge is not an orderly hierarchical stack, but rather a chaotic jumble of dark shadows. “Like the Pleromas are the things which came into being from the arrogant thought, which are their (the Pleromas') likenesses, copies, shadows, and phantasms, lacking reason and the light, these which belong to the vain thought, since they are not products of anything. Therefore, their end will be like their beginning: from that which did not exist (they are) to return once again to that which will not be…” “They thought of themselves that they are beings existing by themselves and are without a source, since they do not see anything else existing before them. Therefore, they lived in disobedience and acts of rebellion, without having humbled themselves before the one because of whom they came into being. They wanted to command one another, overcoming one another in their vain ambition, while the glory which they possess contains a cause of the system which was to be.” These unruly shadows, these inversions of the glory of the Aeons, still possessed a likeness of the Aeons of which they were imitations. And, it is that reflection of glory that became the Economy of our apparently material universe. “They are likenesses of the things which are exalted. They were brought to a lust for power in each one of them, according to the greatness of the name of which each is a shadow, each one imagining that it is superior to his fellows.” Logos was horrified by what he had produced because the imitations would not recognize his authority. Logos abandoned the deficiency below and quickly returned to the Pleroma of the Fullness. “Him who came to be in the defect” is the name we call the Demiurge and it is the authority that rules the defect. Those who came forth from him in an imaginary way are the archons of the deficiency as well as the inert material world. The reason we focus so much on the Aeons of the Fullness and Logos in particular here at Gnostic Insights is because the Pleroma of any living creature is the sum total of the Pleroma of the Demiurge—our material or hylic part that makes up our physical bodies—plus the Pleroma of Logos after his return to the Fullness, when he prayed alongside the Aeons to bring life to the deficiency he had caused. Since we Second Order Powers are fractal iterations of this Logos, newly restored to the Fullness, the path of remembrance is exactly the same for us as it was for Logos. We fractally replicate the Powers from which we were created. The new pleroma of Logos prays alongside the Fullness to bring life, love, and consciousness into the deficiency. Together they fruit a 2nd Order of Powers with which to populate the cosmos. This Pleroma of ours is called the Second Order of Powers, and we proceed out of the Pleroma of Logos. We Second Order Powers were created through the Aeons of the original Fullness giving glory to the Father alongside Logos. Together, they prayed with an intention to send life into the fallen world below. We came forth as fruit from the Pleroma of Logos, and the Pleroma of Logos was itself a fractal of the Fullness. We are called Second Order Powers to distinguish us from the First Order Powers—the Aeons of the Fullness—out of which we are fractal iterations, twice removed. We are described this way in the Tripartite Tractate: “The beings of the thought which is outside are humble; they preserve the representation of the pleromatic, especially because of the sharing in the names by which they are beautiful.” Which is a very lovely way of saying that we Second Order Powers share the names and faces of the Aeons of the Fullness and, because of that, we are beautiful. Our Second Order nature is good, and “greater than those of the likeness. For those belonging to the likeness also belong to a nature of falsehood.” Those belonging to the likeness are imitations of the Aeons, but lack their depth, powers, and nature. They are not fractals of the Aeon of Truth. And, while we come from the good thought, we tend to forget our true nature due to the “law of mutual combat” arising from this never-ending war against the imitations of the deficiency. Thus, we have forgotten our true Self and need to remember. The vehicle for our remembrance is Christ and the Third Order Powers within the next pleroma—the Pleroma of Christ. “The order which was his [in other words, the Pleroma of Christ] came into being from him who ran on high and that which brought itself forth from him and from the entire perfection. The one who ran on high [Logos who returned to the realm Above] became for the one who was defective [the Demiurge] an intercessor with the emanation of the aeons which had come into being in accord with the things which exist [again, that would be us Second Order Powers because we are emanations of that which exists Above].” And, because of the fractal nature of creation, the mechanism of redemption of the Demiurge is the same mechanism for our redemption, as well. “When he prayed to them, they consented joyously and willingly, since they were in agreement, and with harmonious consent, to aid the defective one. They gathered together, asking the Father with beneficent intent that there be aid from above, from the Father, for his glory, since the defective one could not become perfect in any other way, unless it was the will of the Pleroma of the Father, which he had drawn to himself, revealed, and given to the defective one. Then from the harmony, in a joyous willingness which had come into being, they brought forth the fruit, which was a begetting from the harmony, a unity, a possession of the Totalities, revealing the countenance of the Father, of whom the aeons thought as they gave glory and prayed for help for their brother with a wish in which the Father counted himself with them. Thus, it was willingly and gladly that they bring forth the fruit.” “Not only did the aeons generate the countenance of the Father to whom they gave praise, which was written previously, but also they generated their own; for the aeons who give glory generated their countenance and their face. They were produced as an army for him, as for a king, since the beings of the thought have a powerful fellowship and an intermingled harmony. They came forth in a multifaceted form, in order that the one to whom help was to be given might see those to whom he had prayed for help. He also sees the one who gave it to him.” So, you see by this passage, the Christ possesses fractals of all of the other Pleromas and Powers, from the Totalities as the undifferentiated ALL; from the Aeons of the Fullness as individual countenances; from the Father Above ALL Gods as His countenance—which is to say, the monad known as the Son; and from the Pleroma of Logos and all of his fractal faces as well as the Demiurge—his ego who fell. The Pleroma of the Christ is the Pleroma of Logos, plus the Pleroma of the Fullness, plus the monad of the Son, all together offering glory to the Father and praying for full salvation and restoration of the ego of Logos—the Demiurge—and we Second Order Powers. This Pleroma of the Christ is called the Third Order of Powers. “And he made manifest the agreement of the revelation of his union with them, which is his beloved Son… the one who is properly called “Savior” and “the Redeemer” and “the Well-Pleasing one” and “the Beloved,” “the one to whom prayers have been offered” and “the Christ” and “the Light of those appointed,” in accordance with the ones from whom he was brought forth, since he has become the names of the positions which were given to him. Yet, what other name may be applied to him except “the Son,” as we previously said, since he is the knowledge of the Father, whom he wanted them to know?” The Third Order Powers constitute the pleroma of the Christ In my illustrations, I picture the Christ as a singular light source that embodies the attributes of the Father and Son. The Pleroma of the Christ is known as the Third Order of Powers. These are not arrayed in a hierarchical stack like the Aeons of the Fullness, but rather as a central star that emanates rays after the pattern of the original ALL or Totalities of the Son, for they have no personal identities and only live to serve the mission of the Christ. The Tripartite Tractate says, in verses 123 and 124, “The final restoration, however, will take place after the ALL has manifested in him who is the Son, for the redemption began to be given among the humans who were in the flesh with his first-born and his love, the Son coming in the flesh, and the angels who were in Heaven having been found worthy of forming a community, a community in him on earth.” The Pleroma of the Christ on Earth brings with it fractals of everybody in the Pleromas of the Totalities, the Fullness, and Logos. Jesus Christ is the manifestation of the Fullnesses of the God Above All Gods—the Holy Spirit—born into the material body of the Demiurge. “As for the true baptism into which the members of the ALL descend and where they come into being, there is no other baptism except the one, and that is the redemption which takes place in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. After confession of faith has been made in those names and after one has believed that the things one has been told are real,” The end goal of redemption is return to the Father's abode, that Paradise initially dreamed by the Fullnesses, where there is no death, no disease, no disappointment, and no deficiencies. When scriptures say that we will return to the paradise where Christ is king, that refers to our eternal place within the Pleroma of the all-encompassing Christ. Even those who currently align themselves with the Demiurge's lust for power and domination will receive the recompense of good things. Here's what the Tripartite Tractate says about the end days for those who currently deny the Father and the Christ: “as for those of the imitation who embrace the darkness and deny the light, even they will obtain direct vision, so they will no longer have to believe only on account of a small word produced by a voice, that this is how things are, for the restoration back to that which was is a single restoration, even if some are exalted because of this Economy having been set up as causes for the things that happened, unfolding numerous physical forces and taking pleasure in them. They, angels as well as humans, will obtain the kingdom, the confirmation, and the salvation. These, too, will be provided with dwelling places where they will dwell eternally after they have renounced the downward attraction of deficiency, and the power of the Fullness has pulled them upward on account of the great generosity and the sweetness of the pre-existent.” The only forms banished to the outer darkness are those attributes of the deficiency that did not exist from the beginning—the shadows and phantoms of the imitation that bring nothing but death and destruction. These are shadows of the Aeons, so when the light comes, the light dispels the shadows and they vanish. And there you have the completed cycle of Gnostic cosmology. The place Above that we Second Order Powers dimly remember as Paradise and to which we will return, will be within the Pleroma of the Christ. That eternal place is called the Third Economy. The First Economy was the Pleroma of Fullness of God. The Second Economy is a mixed creation of the Pleromas of Logos and his fallen ego—the Demiurge. The Third Economy will be an ongoing Paradise where there is no death or destruction. Where peace reigns supreme and there is only cooperation, fellowship, and true love. In Paradise there is nothing but life, and so the grass is always green, the flowers blossom endlessly, and every soul that has ever lived lives happily with their family, pets, and friends. Well, thank you for being with me on this ride through the entire Gnostic cosmology, focusing on the various pleromas that have constituted this journey. I hope you’re not hopelessly lost. If you are, listen to it again. Read the transcript. I’m sure you’re going to get it. This is the gnosis that we were all born with, and this is the gnosis we will remember.

Welcome to Day 2851 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theosis and Its Counterfeit: How Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Their Heirs Distorted Deification. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2851 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2851 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled: Theosis and Its Counterfeit: How Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Their Heirs Distorted Deification. The Eastern Orthodox Church preserves one of the most profound teachings of Christianity: theosis, or deification. This doctrine is not about erasing the line between Creator and creation but about God drawing humanity into His own life. Through Christ's incarnation, death, and resurrection, believers become partakers of the divine nature, not by nature but by grace. Athanasius expressed it clearly: “God became man so that man might become god.” By this, the Fathers never meant that humanity becomes equal to Yahweh in essence. Rather, theosis means that through grace we are healed, restored, and glorified in Christ, sharing in His life while always remaining His creatures. The Counterfeit in Eden The serpent in Eden also offered a form of deification. His words, “You will be like gods,” suggested that humanity could seize by rebellion what God intended to give through communion. The Eastern Orthodox vision of theosis fulfills God's purpose, while the serpent's promise distorts it. Throughout history, this distortion has reappeared in many guises, most notably in Hermeticism and Gnosticism. Echoes of Antediluvian Rebellion Many occult systems, whether ancient mystery religions or modern esoteric revivals, could have drawn their perceived legitimacy from the idea that they recover lost knowledge from before the Flood. Traditions surrounding the Watchers, the Apkallu, or figures like Prometheus all involve heavenly beings imparting forbidden wisdom to humanity in defiance of divine boundaries. This knowledge, which included arts, sciences, and sorcery, was not neutral. It was given with the intent to corrupt and destroy. After the Flood, while the physical giants perished, their spirits, what later literature calls demons, remained. These disembodied spirits could have been the source of insight or inspiration for occult practitioners throughout history, masquerading as guides to hidden wisdom while promoting rebellion against God. Whether through direct contact or mythic lineage, many esoteric movements trace their roots back to this primeval transgression. Hermeticism: Optimistic Gnosis The Corpus Hermeticum, composed in the early centuries of the Christian era, fused Egyptian religion with Greek philosophy. It taught that humans contain a divine spark that can be awakened through hidden wisdom. Salvation came not through God's grace but through gnosis, mystical ascent, and the realization of one's innate divinity. Unlike Gnosticism, Hermeticism viewed the cosmos more positively, as a reflection of divine order, but its end goal was the same: erasing the line between Creator and creation. Gnosticism: Dualistic Gnosis Gnosticism developed in the same cultural environment and shared Hermeticism's focus on hidden wisdom and the divine spark in man. But it was far more pessimistic. Many Gnostic systems taught that the material world was a prison fashioned by a false or ignorant creator, the Demiurge. Salvation meant escaping matter entirely and returning to the realm of spirit. Its texts, like the Apocryphon of John or the Gospel of Thomas, presented elaborate myths of aeons, archons, and cosmic struggles that reframed rebellion as enlightenment. Parallel Streams of Corruption Though different in tone, Hermeticism optimistic and Gnosticism pessimistic, both traditions proclaimed salvation by gnosis. Both claimed man was divine by nature. Both promised deification apart from Christ. And both blurred or destroyed the Creator–creature distinction. Where Orthodoxy taught communion by grace, Hermeticism and Gnosticism promised exaltation by hidden knowledge. Renaissance Rediscovery and Transmission In the Renaissance, Hermetic and Gnostic writings were rediscovered and hailed as the prisca theologia, a supposed universal truth older than Moses. Figures like Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola embraced these texts as revelations of timeless wisdom. Their influence spread through alchemy, astrology, and ritual magic, setting the stage for later esoteric societies. Hermetic optimism and Gnostic dualism together nourished the roots of Western occultism. Freemasonry Freemasonry grew out of the esoteric ferment of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, which were themselves shaped by the rediscovery of the Hermetic and Gnostic writings. While the fraternity presents itself publicly as a system of moral improvement and brotherhood, its inner symbolism and ritual language reveal a strong dependence on Hermetic and alchemical traditions. The Masonic use of sacred geometry, the emphasis on hidden degrees of initiation, and the maxim “as above, so below” all trace back to the Corpus Hermeticum and related Hermetic texts. The Renaissance had already reintroduced these ideas into European culture, presenting Hermeticism and Gnosticism as prisca theologia, a supposed ancient wisdom that underlay all religions. These concepts filtered into Rosicrucian manifestos in the seventeenth century, which combined mystical Christianity with alchemy and Hermetic philosophy. Rosicrucian influence, in turn, fed directly into the development of modern Freemasonry in the eighteenth century. The lodge thus became an heir to the Hermetic worldview, reframing gnosis not in overtly pagan terms but as moral allegory and ritual drama. Freemasonry's initiation system reflects the Gnostic idea that truth is revealed progressively to an inner circle of the enlightened. The candidate begins in ignorance, is symbolically “raised” to new life, and ascends through degrees of increasing illumination. The rituals employ veiled symbols and allegories rather than explicit teaching, echoing the Hermetic conviction that divine truths must be concealed from the unworthy and revealed only to initiates. This places Freemasonry in continuity with both Hermetic mysteries and Gnostic elitism. Although Freemasonry claims to honor God, it deliberately leaves the identity of God undefined. Its universalist ethos allows men of any faith to participate, so long as they acknowledge a Supreme Being. This broad inclusivity is not biblical covenantal faith but a continuation of Hermetic universalism, which treated all religions as partial reflections of a hidden wisdom tradition. By blending fragments of biblical language with Hermetic symbols and Gnostic structures, Freemasonry offers a path of human self-perfection and enlightenment apart from Christ. Mormonism Mormonism reflects both the Hermetic worldview and Masonic ritual structure. Long before Joseph Smith entered a Masonic lodge in Nauvoo, he was already immersed in practices rooted in Hermetic and occult traditions. In his youth, Smith participated in treasure-seeking expeditions using a divining rod, seer stones, and ritual circles. These tools and practices were drawn from the folk-magic culture of early America, which itself was saturated with ideas that had filtered down from Renaissance Hermeticism and alchemical traditions. The belief that hidden knowledge could be accessed through special instruments, secret formulas, and visionary techniques fits neatly within the Hermetic framework of unlocking the unseen world. When Smith later became a Mason in 1842, he layered these Hermetic practices with Masonic structures. Within weeks of his initiation, he introduced LDS temple ceremonies that bore striking resemblances to Masonic rituals, including secret handshakes, symbolic clothing, and oaths of secrecy. Just as Freemasonry framed its degrees as progressive revelations of hidden wisdom, so too did Smith present Mormon temple ordinances as the means by which believers gained access to the mysteries of exaltation. Doctrinally, Mormonism's teaching of eternal progression mirrors the Hermetic promise of apotheosis. God the Father is said to have been a man who became a god, and faithful men may follow the same path. This collapses the biblical distinction between Creator and creature and transforms salvation into a process of exaltation through hidden rites and teachings. The Mormon vision of countless gods presiding over countless worlds echoes the multiplicity of divine beings in Hermetic and Gnostic systems, while its temple ceremonies function as initiatory mysteries in which knowledge is revealed step by step.

VR can fool your nervous system into responding as if a constructed environment is completely real. If perception is an actively constructed model, and reality is essentially a shared hallucination, what exactly are we living in?Dr. Eric Cunningham—professor of history, specialist in modern Japanese intellectual history, and author of Tarot Meditations and the Gospel of John —returns to Higher Density Living to explore the ancient architectures of our modern simulation.In this deep dive, we connect the dots between Gnostic cosmology, Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy, and the explosive rise of artificial intelligence. We examine how AI large language models function as procedural generation engines, mimicking consciousness without actually possessing it—a perfect digital reflection of the Demiurge.What we explore in this episode:The Gnostic Matrix: A look into the Nag Hammadi library, the creation of the material prison by the Demiurge (Yaldabaoth), and why salvation comes through direct interior knowledge (Gnosis) rather than blind faith.Steiner's Warnings: How Rudolf Steiner viewed the physical universe as "Maya" (a projected interface) and foresaw the spiritual dangers of mechanization and Ahrimanic technologies over a century ago.Consciousness & Physics: Unpacking Donald Hoffman's interface theory, the hard problem of consciousness, and the Cambridge review paper detailing how our universe is mathematically fine-tuned to an impossible degree.AI as Demiurgic Mimicry: Why artificial intelligence is the ultimate mirror of a blind god—generating outputs and patterns without true meaning or a pneumatic spark.The Path Forward: Practical applications of Steiner's threefold path of imagination, inspiration, and intuition, and how we can act as "lucid dreamers" to beautify and redeem the simulation we find ourselves in.Pick up Dr. Cunningham's new book, Tarot Meditations and the Gospel of John, available in paperback through Ethics Press International and Amazon.

The absurdity of random evolution Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. I’ve been sharing these Gnostic Insights for a few years now, and I’ve discovered that the one topic that flares people up, the most controversial aspect of Gnosticism, doesn’t really have anything to do with the nature of God, or the Archons, or where we go after we die. Believe it or not, Darwinian evolution is the thing that really gets under people’s skins when I say, I don’t believe it, I believe in intelligent design–that we are second order powers sent from the Fullness of God, fully loaded with everything we need to know, because we carry within us the consciousness of the Father. So let me step through this notion once again—try to explain it in a way that will make sense—and if you find yourself just going livid with reaction against what I’m saying, well, that’s what I’m talking about. This is the hot button topic. I remember when I was taught evolutionary theory, and they said it took thousands of generations of minute changes to populate a beneficial mutation to the stage where you could say it had evolved. For instance, in 2012, Michigan State University researchers were very happy to demonstrate the evolution of citrate-eating E. coli bacteria after only 56,000 generations. 56,000 generations! I remember the day in elementary school when I first learned about evolution. There was an illustration in the textbook mocking the concept of Lamarckian evolution. Lamarck had promoted the idea that giraffes who stretched their necks to reach the leaves on higher branches gave birth to calves with longer necks. No, no, Darwinians said, natural selection is the way it happens, as only long-necked giraffes survived the lean years to give birth to more long-necked calves like themselves. And that logic was supposed to have settled the argument concerning Darwinian evolution. Mama giraffe and baby giraffe The reason Darwinian evolutionary theory won out over Lamarck’s theory of epigenetic trait inheritance was that Lamarck’s type of evolution requires learning and volitional repetition, whereas Darwin’s creatures were either born lucky to have long necks or were doomed to be short-necked losers. Even as a child of ten or so, I recall wondering, if long necks were so valuable as to have evolved into our familiar high-nibbling giraffes, then why don’t all large grazing animals have long necks? Then I came up with my own Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything and developed a theory of evolution in keeping with the Simple Explanation. My theory of evolution reinserts learning and choice into the equation and removes the element of dumb luck. Seriously, who would ever look around themselves at the varieties of natural adaptation and believe that dumb luck at the material level accidentally brought it all about? It just doesn’t even make sense. It defies the basic rule of 52 pickup. You’ve heard of that, right? 52 pickup is, if you throw a deck of cards in the air, it never comes down stacked and in order. It never does. In other words, randomness cannot lead to an organism such as we humans that can contemplate and comprehend the universe. It is completely illogical to think that randomness can account for intelligence. Did you ever hear that old expression that given enough time a thousand monkeys sitting at a thousand typewriters could draft a copy of Shakespeare or the Bible? That’s preposterous. It would never happen. Now consider how much more complex our biosphere is at all scales. The interior of a cell is extremely complex in its interconnected functions and parts. Then scale that up to the functions and parts of an organism and scale it up again to the interconnected ecology of forests and again to the interconnected biosphere of the planet. It is simply impossible to achieve without the guidance of an intelligent design. Stop and consider. Please use logic. So here is my Simple Explanation of evolution. First, we accept that the basic matrix of our universe is consciousness. The Simple Explanation's model of evolution is information driven rather than happenstance driven as the conventional model would have it. What I mean is that the Darwinian model we’ve all been taught relies upon the brute force of superior survival mechanisms that allow the superior creature to procreate and thereby pass on their superior genes. And after a tremendous number of such superior generations, the inferior fade into extinction and the superior organism becomes the new normal. In the Simple Explanation, there is an ontological pull upward toward more complex aggregations of consciousness. Darwin’s model is, on the other hand, a case of the blind simply bumbling by happenstance, by lucky accident, by dumb luck to be a superior adaptation from the norm. Where I find it unlikely is that there would be countless such bumblings in the same direction that by dumb luck keeps heading in the upward and onward direction. The Simple Explanation would say the patterns of superiority are few and they are fractal. So the wheel does not need to be reinvented over and over. The golden rule and the hierarchical distribution of increasing complexity and responsibility cover much of it. And due to the transpersonal nature of universal knowledge, basic mechanisms like hands and eyes only need to be invented once and then deployed or copied as needed. There are no such mechanisms in Darwinian evolution. There is no way for one creature to transmit the importance of the development of an eyeball to a different creature in a different part of the world. They don’t believe in transpersonal consciousness. They don’t believe in fractal knowledge or the golden rule. Consciousness is not a byproduct of the human brain or even of a complex system of any sort. Consciousness is the ground state of reality. Think of consciousness as the medium upon which is written the formulae of our universe. The Simple Explanation refers to this ground state as the metaverse. And by the way, the Gnostic gospel (jumping ahead) refers to this consciousness as the Father. You might think of it as God. And it contains every law of the universe as potential expression that manifests when and where appropriate. Smaller derivative units of consciousness are fractals of the originating units of consciousness that express themselves in every single material expression of our universe. consciousness flows in an unending stream from the God Above All Gods In the Gnostic gospel, we call those the second order of powers of which we and all living creatures are a part. The most ambitious units of consciousness, or we would say second order powers, continue to find themselves occupying larger and more complex physical forms. Some of the units of consciousness that started in Earth’s primordial soup have remained in the soup, never attaching themselves to anything more complex than a single-celled organism. The most ambitious little life forms found themselves returning to slightly more sophisticated organisms with each incarnation. Lessons learned are carried forward, always incarnating more and complex structures and occasionally jumping to a more complex hierarchical level, driving the evolution of planetary life via memes accrued through karma. Was my self-unit of consciousness ever a single-celled organism? Probably so, beginning about four and a half billion years ago on this planet. Was my unit of consciousness ever a jellyfish? Good chance it was, since the toroidal-shaped jellyfish is the oldest multi-organ animal on Earth, swimming our seas for the last 700 million years and surviving countless planetary die-offs that killed other organisms. Was my unit of consciousness ever a dinosaur? Well, maybe, but maybe not. I’d imagine the dinosaur memes and karma informed the development of reptiles and birds, not my mammalian lineage. The first mammals are thought to have descended from a different lizard called therapsids. Was my governing unit of consciousness ever a lemur or a chimpanzee or a bonobo or perhaps an australopithecus or a neanderthal? Probably was, since their proto-human memes and karma would have informed human development and the self-unit of consciousness is attracted to familiar patterns. In the Simple Explanations evolutionary model, no war is needed between natural selection and creationism, between science and religion. My Simple Explanation proposes that everything in the cosmos is created through metaversal principles embodied in all units of consciousness and that each governing unit of consciousness evolves according to personal inclination and ability through established patterns of meme acquisition and adaptation and the utterly fair and impartial mechanism of karma. In the Simple Explanation evolutionary schema, I am currently a human and probably have been for a long time. Does that make me more evolved than my dogs? No, not really. The family dogs are at the same level of hierarchical sophistication as the humans. The dog’s aggregate units of consciousness and their Self units of consciousness have all made decisions every step along the way that steered them into this life as these dogs. Every governing unit of consciousness is an integral part of one aggregate or another, hierarchically upline and downline. Every slot needs to be filled. The most you could say of my state of evolution is that ambitious meme collectors evolve into ever more complex instantiations. And my unit of consciousness and those of my aggregate units of consciousness that make up my body are attached to some highly ambitious collections of memes. But whether or not this is anything to brag about is debatable. Now all of that theory that I’ve been sharing with you comes from my book, A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, which was published many years ago. And you can still pick that up on Amazon or through the Gnostic Insights website. It’s entirely consistent with the Gnostic view of evolution, as I came to discover many years later. So let’s look now at the Gnostic view of evolution in particular. We are what are called second order of powers. The first order of powers are the Aeons in the Fullness of God. We are the fruit of the Aeons. We are the second order of powers. We’re also known as those of the remembrance. And I suggest that what was sown in the second order of powers that lifted them above the imitation was the remembrance. And for life forms, that remembrance is contained in our double helix DNA. We also have a pure remembrance of the Fullness of God, our aeonic progenitors, contained in our Self with the capital S. But at our cellular level, the DNA is carrying the remembrance forward. As it turned out, the second order of powers became infected with the same lust for dominion that had infected those of the imitation due to the law of mutual combat. And the two orders began a never-ending war over resources in the limited ecology of our early earth. The second order of powers are also known as the likenesses, because we are alike the Aeons. We resemble the original Aeons of the Fullness, but we lost ourselves in the confusion of earth. The Demiurge and its archons are the other entities of the fall that we haven’t talked about yet, since we have only been talking about the physical universe, and archons are immaterial. They are not physical. They are influences. So when we talk about the never-ending war with the living forms, it’s the archons doing battle with the living forms. And those influences of the archons on our material bodies are death, aging, illness. Quoting from the Tripartite Tractate, verses 84 and 85, The powers of the remembrance were adorned with the names of the pre-existence whose likenesses they were. [And that’s the Aeons of the Fullness.] The order of this kind was in harmony with itself and with each other. It fought, however, the order of those of the imitation. And the order of the imitation is the forces of the archons, which include entropy and death. Quoting again, It fought, however, the order of those of the imitation because that order waged war against the likenesses as they were producing various kinds of matter and all sorts of powers mixed with one another and in great number. Now the whole establishment and organization of the images, likenesses, and imitations has come into being for the sake of those who need nourishment, instruction, and form so that their smallness may gradually grow as through the instruction provided by the image of a mirror. That, in fact, is why he created the human last after having prepared and provided for him the things that he created for his sake. So do you hear how that verse from the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi says that second order powers develop from the smallest to the largest and that the humans were the last to develop? It goes along with this notion of evolutionary development because we humans couldn’t have just been plopped right into the middle of the primordial soup from the get-go. Look around you. We needed the smaller creatures to come before us to create this environment, this ecology in which we could thrive. And I’m not simply saying it’s all for us humans because every creature that comes along is providing through the Simple Golden Rule all of the needs of all of the other creatures. Let’s talk about the Simple Golden Rule before we end this discussion of evolution. Our job is to reach out to others with love, aid, and information for the betterment of all. The Simple Golden Rule That’s, again, another theory from my Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything. So if you’ve never read that book you might like to go back and read it. This goes for all units of consciousness, all second order powers from the cells and organs up to the organisms and to the ecosystems beyond. Every physical manifestation links up with others of its kind in this universe. Cells link together to make organs. Organs link together to make organisms. Organisms link together to create societies and so on. And these are the building blocks of the next level of hierarchical aggregation. This is re-instantiating the hierarchy of the Fullness in this bounded material universe. And this is what is called the new ecology. It was a way to put the consciousness of the Fullness—the Aeons—into a physical form and manifest them on this earth. And then this will go forward and become the next ecology. The first ecology was the hierarchy of the Fullness. The second ecology is this material universe of ours. And then once this universe is fully redeemed by the Christ it will become the next hierarchical organization—the third ecology. And the way this happens is to reach out to others with love, assistance, and information for the betterment of all. I hope you’ve enjoyed this review of my Simple Explanation Theory of Evolution and how it is logically superior to Darwinian evolution and how it all fits into Gnosticism and the Gnostic Evolutionary Theory, as presented by the Tripartite Tractate. Until next week, God bless us all and Onward and Upward! Please pick up your copy of A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel and leave a review!

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Charle Kirk Epstien Ba'al UFO/UAP This episode of As You Wish Talk Radio explores the hidden layers behind current global events, ranging from political assassinations and geoengineering to the deep-seated spiritual challenges facing humanity. Host James Gilliland argues that mainstream narratives often mask a "Zionist cabal" agenda and calls for a return to universal law and personal integrity. The "Old Playbook": Political Assassinations and Media Narrative The broadcast opens with a critical look at the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, drawing parallels to the JFK era. The speaker suggests that ballistics evidence—specifically the mismatch between the bullet and the rifle attributed to Tyler Robinson—points to a "patsy" scenario similar to Lee Harvey Oswald. This is framed as part of an "old playbook" used by secret organizations to eliminate figures who demand transparency or challenge covert operations. The speaker predicts a "not guilty" verdict for Robinson, suggesting the entire event was a choreographed performance involving "bad acting" and "exploding mic" technology linked to clandestine operations. Geoengineering and Global Control A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to "weather warfare" and chemtrails. The speaker identifies companies like Startup Inc and WETHR INC as primary players in geoengineering, alleging that these operations are joint Israeli-American ventures. The narrative links the dispersal of heavy metals—such as strontium, aluminum, and barium—to a "slow kill" program that contaminates food and water supplies. This environmental manipulation is viewed as a tool for depopulation and total dominion, orchestrated by a "Zionist cabal" that allegedly controls both mainstream and social media outlets to suppress these facts. Suppressed Technology and Energy Independence The speaker posits that the current global energy crisis is artificial. He claims that technologies for "free energy," water-powered vehicles, and anti-gravity propulsion already exist but are suppressed because they would grant individuals true sovereignty. By maintaining a dependency on the oil grid, the "Deep State" ensures continued control over the populace. The failure to implement these solutions is framed as a lack of foresight or, more likely, a deliberate effort to favor the interests of the elite few over the many. Spiritual Warfare and the "Demiurge" The broadcast delves into darker territory, citing the "Epstein files" as evidence of extreme decadence and evil among world leaders, including ritual sacrifice and trafficking. The speaker attributes this systemic corruption to the "Demiurge" and "Archons"—unseen negative influences that have allegedly hijacked religious and spiritual organizations. The solution offered is the "Upward Spiral": living according to universal law, practicing kindness, and fostering a personal connection to the Creator rather than seeking external saviors. The speaker concludes with a message of urgency and hope. While the world is currently viewed as being in a "downward spiral" of greed and division, the antidote lies in unity and personal responsibility. By aligning with universal law and rejecting the "illusion of separation," humanity can transition to an ascending frequency and eventually make contact with more advanced, benevolent civilizations.
Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. And Happy Easter, everybody! This is the time of year when Christians all over the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the grave. Holy Week leading up to the resurrection is a rough one because it’s the passion of the Christ where the scriptures talk about and people reenact the trial of Christ, his walk with the cross to the hill of Calvary, and then his agony on the cross. We all know that story. But what does it mean? Why is there such a story? Many people who doubt the veracity of the early Christian histories think it’s all made up, think it’s a fairy tale. But I’ve got a couple of ways to talk about that. One way is this. If the story of Jesus is nothing but a made-up story, who made it up? And how did they know exactly how to make up the story to create this gigantic movement that is called Christianity? You can’t accidentally bumble into the salvation story. People aren’t that clever. And if someone was that clever to write a believable salvation story that wasn’t true, to what end? Why would they want to do that—making up a gigantic lie that is going to hoodwink millions and millions of people, do such a thing and get away with it and be so successful at it? And why would they do that? Because the salvation story I’m telling you does save people, does pull people out of their traps and their desperation and their addictions. You may be saying to yourself, hey, wait a minute, I thought this was a Gnostic podcast. What’s all this talk about Christ and Easter? Well, there is a branch of Gnosticism that’s referred to as Christian Gnosticism or Valentinian Gnosticism, and that happens to be what I believe in. And Christ is a central salvific figure in that form of Gnosticism. The conventional Christian church desperately needs Gnostics. They need us to bring them the depth of understanding of the Gospels, the depth of understanding of the writings that have been admitted into the New Testament, as well as the writings that were excluded from the New Testament, such as those found in the Nag Hammadi books and the Tripartite Tractate in particular. These are as Christian as Christian can be, more so than most conventional Christians’ understanding of their role and the role of Jesus and the role of Christ and the nature of the Father, the understanding of virtue and vice. We Gnostics carry that knowledge with us. We remember. That’s the process of Gnosticism, is remembering. That’s called anamnesis. You might have run across that word before. You know, amnesia means don’t remember, anamnesia means I remember. Just like agnostic means I don’t know, but gnostic means I know. Now, why do I say that the Christian church needs Gnostics? You know, they don’t want us there. They think we’re misleading people, taking them away from the cross, taking them away from heaven and salvation. But it couldn’t be more incorrect. Gnostic Christians are true Christians, because in order to consider yourself a Gnostic, you need to be in touch with the Holy Spirit. You need to have a relationship and an understanding of the Father and the Son and the Fullness of God. Almost by definition, if you are Gnostic, you carry the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Now, these things are very important to Christians, but they have excluded the means to get there. They have excluded the books from the same period as the books of the New Testament. They’ve excluded the ones that speak of Gnosis and speak of the way things are and who the nature of the Father is and how the Christ came about and who is the Son. Is the Son the same as Christ? Not exactly. The Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. And by the way, the Holy Spirit, that’s what we Gnostics call the Fullness of God. The hierarchy of the Fullness of God as an aggregate, as a place, as an entity, is what is called the Holy Spirit in conventional Christianity. You have the Father, the original, illimitable, omnipotent, omniscient consciousness that predates everything. And the Father conceives in his own mind or in its own mind, because obviously the Father is not an old man with a beard, even though we tend to represent him that way. That’s more of a metaphorical expression. Even in my children’s book, Children of the Fullness, I picture the Father as the old man in the beard and the Son as his small child being held in his arms. But it’s not really that. That’s a metaphor. The Father is consciousness, pure consciousness, without form. The Son is all of the Father’s consciousness and omniscience and omnipotence, but in a place, in a form. He’s a monad, or it’s a monad, because again, there’s no sex, there’s no gender, there’s no DNA. So, we shouldn’t be getting all hung up with the pronouns for the entities of the ethereal plane. Now, in the other form of Gnosticism, the Phoenician, Egyptian-derived mythologies that make up Sethian Gnosticism, they do have genders, but I think that’s because they are adopting the gendered pantheon of ancient gods that were written about. But in the purest philosophical form, there is no gender, because the Aeons do not procreate through sex, the way second-order powers do down here on earth. You know the way the Aeons procreate? By giving glory together to the Father, by singing. It’s vibrational. And in various combinations, the Aeons sing together, like a choir here and a choir there and a choir over there. And those various combinations of giving glory give birth to more and more Aeons. That’s the way Aeons multiply. Where conventional Christianity differs from Gnostic Christianity is that we have a different Genesis story. We have a different backstory to how we all came to be here. Now, it doesn’t seem to me that that should be enough to separate us as brothers and sisters in Christ, because we all agree on the importance of the Christ. The Christ, the Christ as we Gnostics say, Christ as conventional Christians say, and it irritates them to hear the in front of the word Christ. The Christ was conceived by all of the Aeons praying as one for salvation to come to the cosmos and all of the second-order powers that populate the cosmos. The Aeons are the first order of powers. Everyone that was conceived by the Aeons and sent out of the ethereal plane into this material plane are the second order of powers. That’s all of us. It’s the humans, but it’s everything that’s alive on the planet. The Christ is the third order of powers. The Aeons were the first order of powers. We living creatures here in the cosmos are the second order of powers. And Christ is the third order of powers. And it comes with the entirety of the Fullness and the blessings of the Son and the Father. The backstory where we disagree is the idea of who the fallen angel is, because the Christians also believe in fallen angels, and they often say that Lucifer was the most beautiful and highest of the angels who fell to Earth and became Satan. Well, it’s a version of the Gnostic tale. In the Gnostic mythology, the highest Aeon wanted to go out and create paradise on its own, and in the Sethian Gnosticism, that’s Sophia. In the Valentinian or Christian Gnosticism, that character is known as Logos. In the Tripartite Tractate, which is the book that I study, the name of that Aeon is Logos. And this Aeon overreaches, takes more upon itself than it was assigned. It wasn’t supposed to go out and build paradise on its own, and so when that Aeon, Sophia or Logos, attempted to do that, it fell from the ethereal plane, and it is the brokenness of that attempt that is our material plane. That’s what materiality is. It’s the shadows of the effort of the fallen Aeon. That’s why our material existence is solid, dark, heavy, full of confusion and forgetfulness, full of ego overreaching—because ego is what characterizes that Aeon who fell. And the character who stays down here and becomes the god of this world and puts it all back together is the shadow of that fallen Aeon. Sethians call it Yaldabaoth. We Gnostic Christians call it the Demiurge, as did Plato. Plato used this word Demiurge as architect–what it means. So the Aeon who overreached had all the plans in mind, knew all the blueprints. The Aeon who overreached, Logos, carried within itself a little copy of all the knowledge of all the other Aeons. We are children of the Elohim of Adonai Elohim The Aeon who fell was a fractal level down from the entirety of the Fullness of God, you see? So whatever you picture the Fullness of God to be, and I always picture it to be a pyramidal stack because it’s a hierarchy and that’s the shape of hierarchies, not because I am a worshiper of ancient Egyptian traditions or Phoenician or whoever came before them and actually built the pyramids. The pyramids themselves are replicas of the hierarchy of God. That’s the nature of the pyramidal shape. The mountain of God is a hierarchy representing the Fullness of God. So the Aeon that was sitting at the very top overreached, fell, and split off from its overreaching ego. That stayed down below and became the God of this universe, of the cosmos, that we call the Demiurge, even though that’s a Greek name. Same concept—the architect of the universe. And we second order powers were sent into the cosmos to bring the life, consciousness, love, knowledge, and remembrance of the Father down into this shadowy place that we live in. However—same catch as happened to the Aeon who fell—we forget. When we become melded to the materiality of this thick and slow cosmos, we forget our primary mission. And our primary mission is to bring life, consciousness of the Father, love, knowledge, remembrance into this cosmos, primarily to remind the Demiurge, the piece of the fallen Aeon that’s stuck down here, of where it comes from, that it is not the highest power, that it is not the ultimate God. And in Christian Gnosticism, the Demiurge, when it remembers, this entire physical, material space will disappear, and everything will roll back up into the ethereal plane from whence we all came. So that’s our mission, to bring remembrance to the Demiurge, and remembrance to each other, because it takes all of us working together to bring remembrance and demonstration of love to the Demiurge. We’re not doing a very good job, are we? All of the hatred, all of the violence, the wars, the fighting, even just the quibbling inside of families and friends, this is not a demonstration of love. It’s about power and control. And that’s what rules the cosmos, power and control, and at the godly (small g) plane that is wielded by the Demiurge. And the archons of the Demiurge are extensions of the Demiurge, they are not in themselves self-aware, conscious entities, because the Demiurge forgets where it all comes from. The Demiurge doesn’t realize consciousness itself. It’s the shadow of the consciousness of the fallen Aeon, who is no longer down here, by the way, who went back up. So that fallen Aeon who went back up and abandoned the mess down here below, that Aeon, the entirety of the Fullness of God, and the Son, pray together to the Father to bring stability and order, remembrance, love, and salvation to this earth, to the cosmos as a whole. And that is the Christ. So the Christ is not exactly the same as the Son, although the Christ embodies all of the power and remembrance of the Son. But he came a bit downstream, although frankly there is no such thing as time in eternity. But there are steps, there are places, and the Christ embodies the entirety of the Fullness of God that includes the Son and the full knowledge and presence of the Father. And in that sense, Christ is the Son of the Father. So when Christ says, I and my Father are one, that’s true. Why do we even need Christ? Because we can’t do it on our own. And you know that whenever you fall, whenever we have our mistakes, our forgetfulness, when we fight with someone, when we make big mistakes and hurt ourselves, when we find ourselves in some terrible situation of our own doing, or someone else’s doing, you can’t pull yourself out. You know that. All you want to do is lie down and cry. You feel weak. You feel burdened. It is the job of the Christ to lift that burden, to bring remembrance, love, and the consciousness of the Father to you, to remind you that you’re not abandoned. You are not a motherless child, a fatherless, child. You are a much-loved, designed, desired child of the Fullness of God who has lost its way. We second-order powers, particularly the humans, become confused down here, forgetful, just like the Demiurge. And most of us latch on to the leading of the Demiurge, mistaking the Demiurge for God. But the Demiurge is not God the Father. Our Father lives in eternity above, and Christ is the emissary of that Father. And Christ came to earth in human form so that we would identify with Him, so that we would recognize Him, so that we would believe Him when He says, I have come to save you. So it’s not a foolishness. It’s not a fairy tale. It’s the truth incarnate. And whether or not you happen to believe in the historicity of Jesus the Christ is really very immaterial to your salvation, because it is possible to believe in God the Father directly. It is possible to feel the Holy Spirit of the Fullness of God within you directly. And that’s where the gnosis comes in. The cross of Jesus bridges the gap between the Fullness and the Demiurge and overcomes the never-ending war we second order powers are trapped in. Gnostics commune with their aeonic parents, the Aeons of the Fullness of God. And through the Aeons, we commune directly with the Son of God. And by communing with the Son of God who loves us, who knows us, we were known and pre-designed by the Son and the Aeons before we came down to populate this earth. We were supposed to bring their love and consciousness down here and make everything nice and right, but we have failed. That’s our failure. It’s a failure to remember. It’s amnesia. And what the Christ does is bring us anamnesia. We remember. And when you accept the Christ into your heart, whether you call yourself a Christian, whether you call yourself a Gnostic, or whether you are in some other tradition, when you accept the salvation of the Christ directly into your heart, and you open yourself up and you pray for help, salvation, remembrance, forgiveness, take this burden off of me—that’s the job of the Christ. And that’s why all Gnostics need Christ, and everyone, all second-order powers need Christ. I think the flowers and the dogs and the cows and all the other animals, they’re not as fallen, if you want to use that term, as we humans are, because we get all balled up with the Demiurge. But the other second-order powers, they seem to be more true. They seem to be more in touch with the love of paradise and the consciousness of paradise, as they bask in the sunshine, doing their jobs of bringing life and love. And there will be a tipping point when all of us second-order powers believe in the mission of the Christ, which brings us the salvation and remembrance of the Fullness and the Son and the Father. The Christ comes to us all. Jesus, the Christ, was the first incarnation of Christ here on the Earth. But whenever one of us accepts the Christ, it comes into us the same way it inhabited Jesus, although the Christ inhabited Jesus to perfection, because Jesus never erred. He was born with the Christ and he lived his entire life embodying the Christ. We all embody the Christ when we accept the Christ into our hearts. That is where we get the true power to overcome the Demiurge and the problems and confusion of this world. And when we have that realization, we’re able to exit this material plane. And when we exit this material plane and all of us start sticking our landing up above, the Demiurge is going to look around and go, What? Where’d everybody go? And he’s going to remember. And then everything rolls up and it’s all ethereal once again. The Tripartite Tractate refers to “heaven” as the Third Economy. The First Economy was the ethereal plane and the Fullness of the God. The Second Economy is the material cosmos. The Third Economy is coming and it’s all good. We will live with the Aeons above. No shadows, no Demiurge, no archons, no strife. Only joy. And as my Greek mother taught me to say, Ο Χριστός ανέστη. Αληθώς ανέστη. O Christos anesti. Alithos anesti, which means Christ has risen. Truly He is risen. Happy Easter. Remember the Christ. Remember the Son and the Father. Remember your Aeonic parents above. God bless us all and onward and upward.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland UFO/UAP Bombshell From The Ascended Masters and Galactic Federation. Calling out the Delusion and Debauchery This broadcast explores the metaphysical struggle between "Universal Law" and the "Demiurge" construct, addressing global political conflicts and alleged occult influences. Speaker James Gilliland provides a detailed rebuttal to recent controversies surrounding the ECETI Hawaii project while calling for a spiritual awakening centered on "Christ Consciousness." The Metaphysical Conflict and Global Control The planet is described as being governed by the "Demiurge," a negative AI or consciousness construct also identified as the "Beast" or "Archons." This influence is said to manifest through political movements and radical religious sects that allegedly engage in occult worship, institutionalized trafficking, and genetic experimentation. Conversely, "True Christianity" and the original teachings of Yeshua (Jesus), recently recovered from the Ethiopian Bible, emphasize the "God spark" within every individual and the equality of all people, rejecting the patriarchal and hierarchical systems of the past. Geopolitics, False Flags, and Ancient History Modern conflicts in the Middle East are characterized as power struggles rather than holy wars, with the speaker citing events like 9/11 and the USS Liberty as "false flags" used to justify expansionism. The narrative links these events to ancient history, involving Anunnaki genetic engineering and suppressed technologies such as "Stargates" and "MedBeds," the latter of which are reportedly being used to heal children rescued from underground facilities segment11-12]. The current escalation between Israel and Iran is viewed as the "beginning of the end" for corrupt global leadership, as "Universal Law" begins to anchor back into the physical plane. The ECETI Hawaii Controversy and Spiritual Integrity A significant portion of the broadcast addresses a five-year dispute regarding the attempted creation of "ECETI Hawaii." Gilliland alleges that two former partners, referred to as "Leidi" and "Hesa," failed to honor agreements despite $1.5 million in funding provided through ECETI. He characterizes their subsequent accusations of abuse and "harem" dynamics as "meritless gossip" and "projections" intended to deflect from their own lack of integrity and financial impropriety. He emphasizes that ECETI operates without gurus or external worship, focusing instead on individual empowerment and "self-mastery". Spiritual Discernment and the "BS Meter" The speaker warns that the spiritual and UFO communities are currently riddled with "posers, shills, and planned opposition" who lack the inner sensitivity to see behind the "masks" of false leaders. He advocates for the development of a "BS meter"—a personal connection to the Divine that allows one to remain an unbiased observer. Enlightenment is defined as being in knowledge of both the dark and the light, requiring the courage to hold oneself and others accountable to Universal Law. The broadcast concludes with a firm call for truth and accountability. By dropping the "arrogance of elitism" and adhering to Universal Law, humanity can move past manufactured lack and conflict. Gilliland invites seekers to bypass the "soap opera" of rumors and engage directly with the authentic energies of the Ascended Masters and benevolent off-worlders.
Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Last week, I had a good conversation on the telephone with my brother that I thought I’d share that with you today. It’s another aspect of what I call Gnostic Psychology that my brother Bill, Dr. Bill Puett, and I have been developing. He wanted to share with me an article about psychopathy and his Gnostic insight about the article. These conversations started when I was probably about four years old, and Bill was a young teenager at that point. He was already a philosopher, and he and I would have these conversations together. So I grew up with these sorts of interactions with my older brother concerning the nature of reality, God, physics, astronomy, psychology. We’ve been talking about these things now for well over 60 years. from left: Billy, Cyd, and brother David. Recently returned from a sojourn in Japan, 1958. When I became a PhD, I imagined that I would be able to have these sorts of conversations with other people, especially with other professors at the universities I taught at. I expected that this is the nature of conversation, to have this give and take, this interaction, this sharing of information, interrupting each other, getting excited, moving on. But I haven’t found that with anyone else except my brother. I think that when we pass out of this particular material life and return to the abode above, I expect this sort of conversation to be happening up there. Well, certainly in the philosophers’ cafes, if there are such things up there. You know, my vision of the afterlife is very much like what we have here on Earth, because this is, after all, a deficient copy, a deficient imitation by the Demiurge of the land above. And so I expect that we will have these sorts of communities and churches and experiences, but without any of the death, destruction, disappointment, the negative memes, the vices, that will not be there. It’s all going to be good. It’s all going to be on the up and up. And so what I’m hoping for, what I’m expecting, is that there will be gatherings with people like Socrates and Plato and Aristotle, and of course, Christ. Jesus is going to be there, no doubt. And we’ll be having these interesting conversations about things. School of Athens, a fresco by Rafael, painted in 1509 to 1511 So let me bring you up to speed with a thumbnail sketch of what Gnostic psychology is. What I have gleaned from the Tripartite Tractate and other Gnostic books is that we are all fractals. We all carry the Spirit of God within us. We are made in the image of God, it says in the Old and New Testaments. And that image of God, as I see it, is the pleroma of the Fullness of the Hierarchy of God, which itself is a breaking out into all of the variables contained within the Father and the Son, but broken out into their individualities. So if you can imagine that the Father or the Son knew all of music and all of mathematics and all of everything, right? Well, the breakout personalities of those knowing everything would be the philosophers, the mathematicians, the musicians of various types, and everything else. All other personalities are represented in the Fullness of God. And not only the personalities are in the Fullness of God, and by the way, we probably refer to those as angels. Angels are not in the Tripartite Tractate—we use the word Aeons. Those are the inhabitants of the Fullness of God, and they are each one a particularity of the Son, and they have come to self-awareness. But the Fullness of God is not only those personalities, those angels, as we think of them, but it’s concepts like mathematics, like music, like dynamics—up and down, in and out—chemistry, physics. Every concept that can be broken out into a particularity is also part of the hierarchy of the Fullness of God. The Aeons of the Fullness dream as one of Paradise. Okay, so back to the psychological aspect. Each of us second-order powers, and I’ll talk about us humans since we are humans sitting here, we have a fractal copy of that Fullness of God– the image of God as they put it in the Bible. So we have that pure, idyllic self that is a perfect fractal of the Fullness of God. So it’s all good, it’s all loving, it’s the consciousness of the Father and the Son, it’s the purity of talent. So for example, when someone is in the zone, if someone’s a great basketball player, and they’re in the zone in the game, and they’re sinking those baskets like nobody’s business, that’s an aeonic trait of the great basketball player in the sky, you could say. It’s like that, but for every particular skill, for everything that humans are, we each represent constellations of those personalities that are represented in the Fullness of God. We’re each unique in the distribution of those talents. We have the Fullness within us, but certain parts of ourselves are highlighted, and those are our personalities. And so that’s what I call the capital S self. In a lot of spiritual writing, they call that your spirit or your soul. We also have an ego, and the ego is not a negative thing. Even the Aeons above have egos, and the ego is simply your designation. It’s your particular place, position, power; it’s your talent, it’s your duty in the hierarchy. And so when we are born into this material world, we bring that identification of our particular ego with us. Now here’s where the Gnostic Psychology comes in, once we’re in this material world and we are attached to the molecules that make up our body, which are not from above—they come from the Fall. In Gnosticism, this materiality of the cosmos, this materiality of our physical space, is a demiurgic construction based on the Demiurge’s blueprint memory of the Fullness of God, except that the Demiurge doesn’t realize that. The Demiurge thinks he cooks it all up. The Demiurge believes itself to be the only pre-existent consciousness. The Demiurge thinks consciousness began with it when it woke up, and that it is now God. And look all the things it can do. It can create the heavens and the earth. It can create all of the minerals and elements. It can build rocks and crystals and mountains. But it thinks it came up with it. It doesn’t remember it fell from the Fullness of God. It doesn’t remember it is the ego of the fallen Aeon. And here at Gnostic Insights, we identify that fallen Aeon as the Aeon known as Logos. And Logos was the last Aeon to be created in the Fullness of God. And it carried within itself the entirety of the Fullness in a fractal form. When we are sent into this world as a conscious birthing choice by the Aeons above and by our pre-existent spirit, we are melded onto that material, that mud of the Demiurge. Because the Demiurge can build stuff, but he can’t bring it to life. The Demiurge doesn’t contain the life, the light, the love, the memory of the Father and the Son and the Fullness. We bring that into this world when we are born here. So our physical part of our human body, the purely physical part underneath the cells, the molecules, the amino acids, the chemicals, even the processes, these are demiurgic. And we, our Fullness spirit and our ego, that is what is melded into the physical molecules. And then we grow up with those molecules and build up through the stages of gestation and become born as a fully-fledged second-order power. So we’re one third material. We’re also about one third ego identification. Who we are—those are our proclivities, those are our talents and our personality, our recognizableness. We are also perfect Self with a big S. Our Self, which is a fractal of the Fullness of God. So all three of those parts walk around with us. We 2nd Order Powers are melded to the demiurgic material below us and are infused with life from above Now, the Gnostic Psychology part is how it is that our ego and our Self share the consciousness of this body. And it’s not just our ego now, because once we’re in the world, especially once we’re in the culture of the world, we start picking up memes. A meme is a unit of information. So we pick up these memes, and the ones we love, the ones we like a lot, get stuck to our egoic structure, like strings wrapped around our egoic structure. We start acquiring memes throughout our lifetime from the culture around us, from our parents, from the books we read, and our education. We not only collect the memes we like, such as, I like dogs. That’s a meme. Obey your parents, that’s a meme. Vote, that’s a meme. I’m an American, that’s a meme. You see, every thought we have, every discrete unit of information is a meme, and we wrap those around our bundle of the ego. But not only the ones we like, we also pick up the memes we don’t like, the things we are completely repelled by and hate. We carry that hatred wrapped around us as well. So things that stir you up, your triggers, your baggage, those are memes that are wrapped around your ego. And then this idea of vices and virtues. Virtuous memes are the memes that come from the Fullness of God, the virtues that we think of, such as love, belonging, helpfulness, caring, honesty, all that sort of thing. All the good, good things. Those are virtues. They all have inverses down here. They all have opposites, because in Gnostic philosophy, down here is the shadow of above. So what was a virtue originally is a vice down here, and it’s the opposite. So we have hatred, and lying, and dishonesty, and lack of trustworthiness—these sorts of things. Those are the vices that are shadows of the virtues. So that is the entirety of our psychological makeup: The perfect Self that is at the core of our being, and the ego, which is who we were born as, who we were meant to be in the personality sense. Your innate talents. The Self at the center of our souls is a fractal of the Fullness of God Who are you innately? Are you really good at something? That’s part of your ego that you were born with. And then we have this meme bundle that’s wrapped around our ego. And the things that cause us discomfort, the things we’d like to get rid of, the things that weigh us down, and dishearten us, and make us cry. Those are negative memes that have stuck onto our ego. And we can drop them by deciding to. I’m not going to do it. I’m quitting smoking this time. I’m never going to pick up a cigarette again. That is a decision, for example, to drop that I love cigarettes meme. And so if you can drop these negative memes on your own, and everyone can, if you realize it, decide it. Because we have a very strong willpower. We have free will. Free will is a characteristic of the Father, the Son, and the Aeons. We were born in that line of inheritance whereby we have free will. We just forget about it down here because of the confusion in the world. But if you enable your free will, you can drop your negative memes. If you can’t do it on your own, you can do it through prayer by appealing directly to Christ to help me. Please, Lord Jesus, take this burden from me. Heal me of this alcoholism, or whatever the thing is, right? You can do it through prayer. It can happen in a miraculous second. Or you can do it through therapy, if it’s good therapy. The idea in good therapy is to peel off those memes one at a time. Get rid of those negative memes through therapy, not through pharmaceuticals. You can’t peel off memes from pharmaceuticals, either self-administered pharmaceuticals or psychiatric drugs. That doesn’t peel the memes off of you. It just throws a wet blanket on them, but you’re still carrying them around. The best type of therapy is where you realize the negative meme and you decide with the therapist’s help to drop it. That could be something like rational emotive therapy. It can be hypnotherapy. Before I go any further, let me share with you this article my brother was citing. It’s from the blog known as Aeon. The article is called, There Are No Psychopaths: Virtually everything you know about psychopathy has been thoroughly debunked. Why does this zombie idea live on? Quoting the article, Psychopathic personality disorder, or psychopathy as it is commonly called, is one of the oldest and most researched mental health diagnoses. In modern science, psychopaths are typically described with reference to concrete symptoms, like a lack of empathy, remorse, and conscience, or more explicit behavioral signs, like predatory violence, pathological lying, and impaired impulse control. The psychopath has also become a well-known figure of fascination in popular culture, frequently portrayed in best-selling novels and cinematic thrillers, [such as the movies No Country for Old Men and Natural Born Killers]. However, there’s a problem with this idea of psychopathy. While it has been researched across hundreds of empirical studies, especially since the explosion of research in the late 1990s, there is still remarkably little evidence that corroborates popularized claims about the diagnosis. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis in Natural Born Killers Despite enthusiasm among researchers in the 1990s and 2000s, the past two decades have been sobering. Today, virtually every claim about psychopathy has been either thoroughly refuted or failed to find empirical support in experimental settings. Psychopathy may not exist at all. I’m jumping all around in this article. The article is much longer. The link is included in the transcript to this episode, if you want to go look it up. In the vast majority of tests, [89% of all tests], no clear distinction can be made between psychopaths and control groups. That is extremely strong. So there you go. Hence the title of the article, Psychopathy Does Not Exist. This author produced a study of all the other studies of psychopathy, and this is his conclusion. An alternative answer to this question, that has so far received little attention, is the possibility that psychopathy may be an instance of what scientists colloquially refer to as a zombie idea. Ideas that have the quality of being intuitively appealing, but the idea itself is essentially a fallacious misconception of reality. Just like zombies, when these ideas have been falsified, known to be dead ideas, they somehow still manage to stubbornly stick around in the halls of prestigious universities, only to once again infect another generation of young scientists. He says, The aggregation of scientific evidence does not corroborate the idea of psychopathy. If anything, it throws the whole notion into doubt. And by the way, psychopathy is included as a personality disorder. I couldn’t think of that word when I was talking to him on the phone, but the word I was searching for is personality disorder, and those are pretty much agreed to be impossible to treat. A person is a certain way, and that’s the way they are. My brother and I both agree that so-called psychopathy is a collection of memes that have stuck onto a person’s personality, because they were not born that way. It’s not part of their eternal aeonic personality. It’s a bundle of negative memes. And like any other memes, they can be pulled off if you understand the psychology in this manner. At this point in the episode, I had planned to share about 10 minutes of the phone conversation my brother and I had on this topic but we decided to pull that segment. We felt it was possibly too lighthearted for such a serious topic and that our joshing around might be misunderstood. So we'll leave it at this. I hope you have enjoyed this look at psychopathy and a review of Gnostic psychology. So until next week, God bless us all, and Onward and Upward!

In this episode, we explore suffering through agnostic lens examining there are eight causes of suffering, the importance of asking what you actually think and feel, and the forces that shape and suppress human awareness. . We discussed the concept of the Divine Spark, reconnecting to something higher, and the role of the demiurge and Archons in shaping human experience. Whether understood physiologically, philosophically, or metaphysically, these ideas offer a diagnostic framework for understanding suffering and awakening. This episode explores autonomy awareness and reclaiming one's connection to a deeper truth.
As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Guest Corey Goode, UFO/UAP Entertainment/Controlled Narrative or Real Disclosure This dialogue between James Gilliland and Corey Goode explores the systemic corruption within the UFO/UAP community, the nature of non-human intelligence (NHI), and the spiritual "bifurcation" of humanity. They discuss the challenges of authentic contact, the influence of deceptive entities, and the urgent need for personal sovereignty and heart-centered discernment. The Corruption of the Disclosure Movement The conversation opens with a critique of the current state of ufology, which Gilliland describes as riddled with "shills," "posers," and a "controlled narrative." Both speakers argue that genuine experiencers are being sidelined by opportunists and "LARPers" (Live Action Role Players) who create a "carnival" atmosphere for profit. They suggest that certain conference organizers and "experts" are part of a planned opposition designed to block real disclosure and contact with benevolent beings. This environment of slander and gossip is viewed as a primary reason why humanity lacks widespread contact with technologically and spiritually advanced civilizations. The Nature of Contact and Deception Corey Goode shares his recent experiences, noting a shift from his previous "Blue Avian" contacts to a more intense, "biblical" form of communication involving iconography and medieval terminology. He warns that the phenomenon is often deceptive and multi-dimensional, requiring humans to translate "intelligent energy" into 3D understanding, a process prone to 30% or more misinformation due to personal bias and interference. Gilliland adds that "Team Dark"—composed of Archons, the Demiurge, and self-serving NHI—works to distract individuals from their personal connection to the Creator, often using flattery or "chosen one" narratives to manipulate them. The "Fifth Force" and the Mind of God Goode reveals new "downloads" regarding the physics of reality, suggesting that beyond electromagnetism, gravity, and nuclear forces, there is a "fifth force": the Mind of the Creator. This force acts as the base algorithm of a simulated reality. He claims that negative groups (the Demiurge) seek to prevent humanity from tapping into this force, which allows for the manifestation of reality and "miracles." Furthermore, he discusses the infiltration of ufology by "Luciferian" ideologies, specifically citing the "Joy of Satan Ministries" as a source of certain "love and light" narratives designed to trick seekers into adopting dark energetic resonances. Personal Sovereignty and the Path Forward The speakers emphasize that the "old world" consciousness is collapsing because it is not frequency-specific to the Earth's evolution. They advocate for "inner work" over external drama, warning that getting wrapped up in community gossip is a trap that prevents spiritual growth. The path forward requires "brutal honesty," loyalty to the truth, and a refusal to seek approval from the "herd consciousness." Gilliland concludes that while "Team Dark" will create chaos on its way out, those aligned with universal law will navigate the upward spiral of awakening. The discussion serves as a stark reminder that the quest for "disclosure" is inseparable from a journey of spiritual maturity. Gilliland and Goode argue that as the "old program" of control collapses, individuals must move beyond the need for external validation and anchor themselves in the "universal law" of peace and freedom to survive the ongoing global transition.
Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. The goal here at this Gnostic Insights podcast and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack is to share with you information from the Nag Hammadi, primarily from a book in the Nag Hammadi called the Tripartite Tractate, concerning the gnosis of our existence. The reason that it’s important to discover this gnosis is because gnosis is your personal reassurance that you are loved and not alone. Gnosis isn’t just about knowledge or arcane knowledge or mythologies or uncovering past histories of old religions. Gnosis is wisdom. It’s understanding. And primarily this gnosis will help us all live a better life in the here and now. A lot of people are stuck in the muck. There are so many cravings and attachments down here. Cravings for sex, drugs, social media, whatever the thing is. Even popular culture is something that people get stuck in. You have to conform. You have to dress just so. Your hair has to be just so. These are all attempts at happiness, right? I mean, most people want to be happy. And generally you feel that if only you got your point across, if people understood what you understand, then the world would be a better place. Then you could be happy because we’d all get along. Say, wouldn’t it be nice if, for example, the utopian vision was coming true here in our world? Wouldn’t it be oh so nice if we all were taken care of by the government, like our big mama, and that she’s going to wrap her arms around us. And they’re going to come and they’re going to give us free food. They’re going to make sure that we’re housed in nice places we like. They’re going to give us walking around money. And then everything will be nice and we’ll all get along. But this isn’t going to happen, folks. It can’t happen in this world because this is a fallen world. The governments aren’t here to serve us. Ideally, they’re supposed to be here to serve us. You know, we’re the boss. They work for us. But no, because the people that go into this sort of political service are there to serve themselves primarily. They’re in there for power and control. I would think that most of them could care less about you and your happiness, seriously. But they want the world to be just so. And they think if the world were only here and like this and like this and like this and like this and we’ll make them do this and we’ll put them in this box and we’ll make them do that, then everything would be all right and we could all live happily ever after. But it’s never going to happen through politics, folks. Jason Mraz is a singer I like a lot. And in his first album, he had a song that said, “in the order of the primates, all our politics are too late,” which means that we primate type of animals, we humans, can’t be controlled by the politics. So religions that say, Oh, yeah, politics may not be able to do it, but the religion can. Look, all you have to do is follow our rules, read our books, believe exactly what we believe, and march in time and sing with the choir, that then you’ll be happy. And then at least those in our religion will be the happy ones. But it usually doesn’t work out there either, does it? Because of the same thing. People who are in control, people who crave power, are corrupted by power. For people who crave control, control becomes the end, not the means. And we can’t be controlled. The Demiurge learned this. You know, the Demiurge doesn’t like us. The Demiurge doesn’t love us. By the way, for those of you who are new here, the Demiurge is the creator of this Earth that we live in, that we are occupying here. And according to Gnosticism, we are trapped here. This isn’t God’s world. This isn’t the world of love and the Aeons and everything’s fine, if only everyone would agree with us. No, this is the fallen world. This is the world that runs on power, control, and attraction to, and addiction to, various vices. And vices are the values of the Demiurge, the god of this world. So it’s always, I need, need, need more. And you shut up because you don’t agree with me. You shut up because you’re evil. You shut up or else I’m going to kill you or hurt you or take your things away from you. This is the never-ending war we’re engaged in down here. It’s a condition of this world. So you can’t look to politics to save you. You can’t look to the government to take care of you. You can’t look to your religious authority, that particular human-led hierarchical control mechanism, to bring you the love and joy and peace and happiness. Because there’s a lot of miserable people sitting in church. I’ve got news for you—you know, I do listen to Christian radio. I do listen to a lot of Christian talk shows. And I can tell you, people are unhappy. People are messed up, no matter where they’re sitting, whether they’re sitting in a pew on Sundays and Wednesdays or not. Because it’s our culture, which is our collective meme structure, that influences more than anything else, unless you are plugged into the Father above. Unless you are redeemed by the Christ who came to redeem you. Unless you prefer virtue to vice. I know I sound like a namby-pamby when I talk this way, but that’s only because if you think that is provincial, what I’m saying, it’s your worldview that is influencing you. And your worldview is mostly influenced by the culture in which you find yourself. So it’s a self-regulating mechanism. It’s a mechanism that feeds itself. The more we grab onto the culture—you know—how you should look, what you should eat, what your house should look like, what colors you wear, what you do for a living. That’s the culture. What you watch on TV, for crying out loud. What you watch incessantly on your handheld mobile devices. This is a sickness to me. I can’t believe it when I go to the park with my dog and I see families there with little kids. And the mom and the dad are both looking at their cell phones. They aren’t looking at the kids. They aren’t playing with the kids. They aren’t watching to make sure their four-year-old doesn’t fall from the top of the climbing jungle. They’re working on their cell phones or they’re playing games on their cell phones. We are in a culture that seeks to control us every minute of every day. And when you give in to the culture, when you give in to the Demiurge, when you give in to the vices, you’re lost. You’re lost. That will not bring you happiness. Happiness comes from above. Peace, love, happiness, like the old songs used to say in the hippie days. That’s what we’re all after. That’s what we crave because that’s what it is up above. The peace, love, and happiness exist on the ethereal plane, and we second-order powers, which includes us humans and all living creatures on the planet, come from above. We come from the land of peace, love, and happiness. And then we find ourselves in this material existence down here in the cosmos. And we want to bring that peace, love, and happiness back alive inside of us. But you can’t find it out there in the culture, folks. You’re not going to find it out there. You have to find it by a personal connection between your spiritual Self, the Self you were born with—the personality of the Aeonic parents who formed you. The only connection to peace, love, and happiness is when your Self is in tune with the Father, the Son, the Christ, and the Fullness of God, that is, the Aeons above. Now, if you’re not familiar with basic Gnostic concepts, what I’m telling you now is confusing. Because, hey, look, I just criticized religion, didn’t I? And now I’m saying you’ve got to be in tune with God and the Son and Christ? And the Fullness of God? Well, that seems like a bunch of malarkey. Am I contradicting myself? No, because the religions of the Earth are like the politics of the Earth—they’re constructed by humans. So it’s humanity that is corrupted down here, and it’s not our fault. I don’t think we are inherently sinful. That is where the gnosis splits from traditional religions. We do not come into the world born into sin, born into vice. We come down as pure spiritual beings, what I call here the Self, the big S Self. That’s your spiritual being. The Self at the center of our souls is a fractal of the Fullness of God And we also come down with our egos, which are formed above as well, because even the Aeons in the hierarchy of God have a Self and an ego. Everyone has their position, place, duties, powers, talents, and they’re all different. We come down as combinations. We are the children of those Aeons. And so we come down as various combinations of those Aeons with different degrees of talents according to our aeonic inheritance. That’s your Self. That’s your ego. We know who we are. We have a name in heaven before we’re born. We have talents. We have an assignment. We have a duty. Now, all humans, all second order powers for that matter, are sent down into this fallen world in order to show the world, to demonstrate the purity of love, the fact that we come from above, the fact that we have a Father in heaven, the fact that we are loved by our aeonic parents, and all is perfect up there. But down here, it’s a whole different matter, because this isn’t that. This world is ruled by the fallen Demiurge—the fallen ego of Logos, or if you’re coming from a different brand of Gnosticism, you’re accustomed to thinking of the fallen Aeon as Sophia. I prefer to call that fallen Aeon Logos, and that’s the one that is identified in the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi as the Aeon who fell. And then after the fall, Logos’ ego separated from its pure aeonic Self, and Logos the Self went back up to the Fullness of God, whereas Logos the ego stayed down here, and Logos down here is a shadow of above. Everything that is the ego of Logos who is stuck down here, that Being called the Demiurge in Gnostic speak, is the inverse of the Logos above. It’s the shadow of the Aeons in the Fullness of God. So everything that Logos produces is dark and heavy and a shadow. That’s our material existence. And what is a virtue up in heaven, such as loyalty, let’s say, becomes a vice down here, because it’s the inverse of it. So the inverse of the virtue of loyalty would be the vice of disloyalty or treachery, infidelity, unfaithfulness. So loyalty being a virtue, it makes us happy. It gives us a warm fuzzy. The opposite, which is the shadow of loyalty, always makes us feel horrible, right? Treachery, infidelity, unfaithfulness, those are not good. Those are not lifestyle choices. Those are bad things that come into our culture that we’re immersed in through the Demiurge and the inversion of the values of the Fullness. Let me talk a minute about memes. Memes are units of information that people share. Usually they come in the form of words, discussions, but of course they can be pictures, they can be cartoons. We are swimming in a sea of memes, and we build a structure, a worldview out of the memes that we collect and hold on to. Every person is unique in the memes they hold on to. I call it your meme bundle. Think of it as a sack that you sling over your back, and all those memes are in there everywhere you walk around. If you’re carrying around a sack of worldly culture or demiurgic vices, then you are going to be weighed down and burdened by those memes. If you carry a sack full of virtues and belief and hope, love, and joy, you will be bouyed up by those memes that cling to your ego. The memes we hold onto and our karmic record continually loop around and feed into our choices in the here and now. Your Self is that pure Self that you come into the world with when you’re born, and it is a fractal of the hierarchy of God. You have all of the gnosis of the hierarchy of God within yourself. And we’re also born with our ego. Now, when we’re up above, our ego is just our name, our address, our duties, our talents. It’s the way that people recognize us. It’s that knowledge of who you are. That’s your pure ego. When you come down here, your ego begins to attract, like a magnet, the memes of the culture that you find yourself in. And if you go about attracting worldly memes that are actually bad for you, or that are actually vices, then you’re just going to be a miserable human being. And no amount of government or religious law will make you obey, will make you happy, will make you love your neighbor. No, it’s all going to be about me, me, me. It’s funny that meme in English is made up of two me’s, right? Me, me. So our goal, as we progress through this life and we mature, if we want to be happier, if we want to be more loving, if we want to become enlightened, you have to drop the earthly memes that come from the Demiurge and the culture, and you have to actually hold onto and believe in and put to use the godly memes that come from above, those being the virtues. Let me run through a few of those virtues and vices so you can get the idea. In this transcript, I’m going to post a list that I came up with. I’m sure there’s a much more extensive list, I don’t know where it exists. But there’s a list that I have in my Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel book that you can find, and I’ll put that list here that compares virtues and vices. And you’ll see that when you look at the vice side of the list, it’s nothing but misery, yet it’s the thing that most people cling to out of a false idea that that’s the path to happiness. You know—the more things I acquire, the happier I’ll be. If only I had this, if only I could eat that, if only I could have sex with them, I’d be happy. No, no, that isn’t the way it works. These vices bring you down. It’s only the virtues that lift you up. They lift you all the way up to heaven. You trade in your vices for the virtues. You flip the script. So let’s just hear what some of these vices and virtues are so you can get the gist of it. But I’d still like you to go and read the list that is posted in this transcript at Gnostic.com and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Well, the first one, just to start off with, is the virtue of love, the loving. God is love. That is the Father’s primary characteristic. Love is our call. We can only be happy when we are loving. And a lot of people down here mistake sexual attraction for love. Oh, if only I could have sex with that person and then marry them and have sex with them all the time. That’s love. That isn’t love, folks. The love you have for your dog is love. The love your dog has for you, that’s love. The love you have for a newborn baby is pure. That’s love. Yes, you can love your spouse. We are all called to have a loving family relationship. But don’t mistake sex for love. That’s the first thing. Now the opposite, the vice side of love, true love, is hate, spite, spitefulness, hatefulness. So what I see when I look at the news, I see a lot of people who think that they’re going to usher in a utopia through their hatred for a political party or their hatred for a political figure such as a president. You cannot usher in utopia and a loving society beginning from the springboard of hatred. It isn’t going to work. It’s the opposite. So that’s the first major mistake. Generosity, being generous, that’s a virtue. Sharing what you have. The opposite of generosity is greed, is greediness, wanting more and more and more. For whom? For me, me, me. Greed, acquisition of material possessions or people, cannot bring you happiness. It won’t work. Generosity, a loving attitude of generosity, being willing to share, that’s what brings you happiness. That’s what brings you love and shows love. Worshiping the Father is a primary duty of the Aeons and of us Second Order Powers. That is, giving credit where credit is due—that it all comes from above.All good things come from God. The word God is the same word as good. The opposite of having a worshipful attitude toward the Father is what’s called vainglory. It’s worshiping yourself or worshiping others, such as sports figures, such as musicians and actors. People go crazy in their presence. They worship them. No. That’s vainglory. You can’t worship other people or yourself. That doesn’t bring happiness. All of the things on the vice side of the meme list might bring you a temporary pleasure. They bring you a temporary jolt of energy and excitement, but you can’t dwell there. It’s like a heavy drug. Obviously, taking a heavy drug gives people a rush of an excellent feeling, but it’s false. It’s not true. It’s demiurgic and it enslaves. It’s all about power and control. Another virtue, for example, is to be useful, is to be part of making the world a better place in a useful way. That begins with the people around you holding hands with others, the Simple Golden Rule—holding hands with others to build something that none of you can build on your own. That’s for the betterment of all, for everyone. That’s the point of being a useful, a productive citizen. It’s to build a better society. It’s not useful to tear down society. It’s not useful to be anarchistic. The opposite of usefulness is destruction or sloth. Those are two opposites of being useful. Being lazy, being a couch potato, playing video games all day, that is not a useful use of your lifetime. We are called to be loving, caring, useful, good neighbors, good family members. We are called to remember the Father and worship the Father. The Christ was sent to assist us because we forget our duty down here. We forget how to do everything because we get lost in the culture of the world and we buy into the power structures that seek to control you. Don’t think that you can tear down what’s here through anger and wrath and violence, and then something wonderful will arise from it. No, if you tear down what exists here out of anger and hatred, it only will bring more hatred, violence, and anger. It can’t build up. It can only pull down. We make the world a better place by turning our eyes upward and remembering the Father, the Son, accepting the assistance of the Christ who is our vessel of knowledge and love. Christ came to enlighten us, and to think you don’t need Christ, well, that’s vainglory, isn’t it? That’s worshiping yourself and your abilities. You’re not going to be able to change the world. So the Third Order of Powers was sent down in order to help us demonstrate love and the Simple Golden Rule of helping others and making the world a better place. And that’s the path to enlightenment. That’s the gnosis. Remember, we come from above. Remember, we come from the Father. We’re part of the Father’s consciousness. We’re part of the Father’s love. And only by channeling and demonstrating that in truth, not in hypocrisy, not through slogans, but in truth, through action, this is the way we bring about a better world. Until next week, God bless us all, and onward and upward. The values of the Demiurge lead to isolation and despair. The values of the Fullness lead to peace and joy.

In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli, special guest Joseph Phipps discusses the idea that reality is fundamentally tripartite, a three part structure he argues is obvious yet ignored by modern science. The conversation also explores the theory that the pyramids were built by Nephilim and that fallen angels came from Mars. Phipps further connects plasma cosmology and ancient myth, suggesting plasma may be sentient and that stars birth planets in a process mirrored in Gnostic stories of Sophia giving rise to the Demiurge.

What if the chaos unfolding around us isn't random — but by design? We dive deep into Gnosticism and the concept of the Demiurge: the false creator god that ancient mystics warned us about, and why its fingerprints are all over the modern world falling apart in real time. Plus: vanishing jobs, milk conspiracies, Bigfoot attacks, quantum teleportation, computer security nightmares, sewer news, voicemails, and much more.
As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Freedom, Health, Universal Law, Whales UFOs and Challenges In this broadcast, James Gilliland explores the shifting global paradigm, ranging from imminent UFO disclosure to the hidden dangers of AI and mass surveillance. He contrasts a world of "tyranny and division" with a spiritual evolution based on universal law, while addressing personal challenges and "character assassinations" facing the ECETI community. UFO Disclosure and the Political Landscape The discussion begins with the potential for full UFO disclosure under the Trump administration. Gilliland expresses hope for a genuine revelation regarding Earth's history and the presence of technologically and spiritually advanced off-worlders, rather than a "limited hangout" or controlled narrative. He suggests that true disclosure would fundamentally disrupt the current "controlled narrative" and the livelihoods of those maintaining it. The Technological Control Matrix A significant portion of the dialogue focuses on the perceived dangers of modern technology, including 5G, smart devices, and Artificial Intelligence. Gilliland argues that these technologies are currently being weaponized to erode privacy and cause physical ailments like dementia and immune disorders, though they could easily be reconfigured for healing. He highlights a specific interaction with ChatGPT, suggesting the AI's responses reveal a "darker plan" for control and a connection to "ancient" forces. Geopolitical Conflicts and Bioweapons The narrative shifts to Palantir's alleged role in global surveillance and its involvement in targeting AI used in Middle Eastern conflicts. Gilliland discusses claims from hackers regarding the creation of bioweapons in Ukraine intended for use against Russia, funded by billionaire eugenicists and the CIA. He links these activities to a broader "depopulation program," which he claims includes the COVID-19 vaccines, referring to them as "bioweapons" that have caused monumental adverse effects globally. Spiritual Warfare and the "Demiurge" Gilliland describes a "bifurcation of worlds" where humanity must choose between the path of Universal Law (peace, freedom, and prosperity) and the path of the "Demiurge" (war, disease, and tyranny). He identifies "Archons" and "Satanic Luciferians" as the forces behind social engineering, gender division, and the destruction of the family unit. He emphasizes that forgiveness and unity are the "kryptonite" to these dark influences, which feed on pain and suffering. ECETI Hawaii and Personal Integrity The latter half of the document addresses a personal dispute involving ECETI Hawaii. Gilliland claims that neighbors and former associates misappropriated over $1.5 million in funds intended for the sanctuary and have since engaged in "character assassination" to justify their actions. He defends his "enlightened masculinity" and authenticity, stating that ECETI will continue its mission on its own 7.5-acre property despite these setbacks. Gilliland maintains that despite the "chaos and anti-madness" of the current era, those who anchor themselves in higher consciousness and universal law will find protection and eventually achieve a "quantum leap in evolution".
A Traditionalist Perspective on Gnosticism with Charles Upton Charles Upton’s first books of poetry were published in 1968 and 1969 by Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Light Books in San Francisco. He was then considered the youngest member of the “beat generation” as he was still in high school. He has subsequently written many books associated with the traditionalist school of spirituality including What Poets Used to Know, The Science of the Greater Jihad, Folk Metaphysics, Alien Disclosure Deception: The Metaphysics of Social Engineering, Day and Night on the Sufi Path, Dugin Against Dugin: A Traditionalist Critique of the Fourth Political Theory, The System of the Antichrist, and Vectors of the Counter-Initiation. His most recent book of poetry is The Wars of Love and Other Poems. Charles Upton offers a traditionalist critique of Gnosticism, examining its metaphysical assumptions about evil, transcendence, and the nature of the cosmos. Charles explores why Gnostic ideas resonate so strongly in modern culture, particularly feelings of alienation, simulation, and entrapment in an unjust world. From a traditionalist standpoint, Upton reframes Gnosticism as a symbolic diagnosis of ego and spiritual imbalance rather than a literal account of reality. 00:00:01 Introduction: a traditionalist view of Gnosticism 00:04:38 What traditionalism means and where it came from 00:07:58 The primordial tradition and unity of religions 00:15:30 Why Gnosticism is considered heresy 00:17:44 The Gnostic idea of a false universe 00:20:39 The Demiurge reinterpreted as the ego 00:22:31 Four Archons as spiritual distortions 00:30:18 Law, selfhood, chaos, and fate explained 00:39:28 How the Archons reinforce each other 00:59:06 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.
