The Andromeda Effect

Gnosis is a Greek word which means ‘insight’, an intuitive process of knowing oneself. And to know oneself, is to know human nature and human destiny.

Gnosis was a path of knowledge, not a religion.

Gnostics directed the Mystery Schools of the Near East in antiquity. The Mysteries were schools of paranormal knowledge, not religious institutions.

Gnosis is relevant here as it describes the Universal Truth, what something is , rather than an idea conceived from what is observed.

All religious traditions acknowledge the world is imperfect. Few are able to account for all the pain and suffering that exists in our world.

Gnostics believe the world is flawed because it was created in a flawed manner. Gnostics believe there is a true, ultimate and transcendent God, who is beyond all created universes and never created anything.

Gnostics taught that the true mind of human beings, nous authenticos, is part of the cosmic intelligence that pervades nature, but due to the intrusion of the Archons, this ‘native mind’ can be subverted or even occupied by another mind.

Gnostics believe within all of us is a fragment of the divine essence from the true God, referred to as the divine spark, the I AM.

The basic gnostic myth refers to Aeons, intermediate deific beings who exist between the ultimate true God and ourselves. The Aeons and the true God comprise the realm of Pleroma (Fullness), the totality of divine powers.                                

Sophia (Wisdom) is one of the aeons who, from her own volition, emanated a flawed consciousness called the Demiurge.                                                                                  

The Demiurge then created Earth and all living things which are also flawed.      

In effect, humanity is the product of a cosmic error!                                                             

The Demiurge was also the creator of the Archons or rulers to keep humanity in order.

In the classical Mediterranean world, an Archon was the governor of a province, or more widely, any religious or government authority.

The Gnostics suggested that the mentality of the Archons ‘cannot be rectified’ – Archons have no ennoia, or no will of their own (intentionality).

Gnostics considered envy to be the signature of the Archons, as well as the key human failing that makes us vulnerable to their intrusion. I would include bitterness as well.

Human nature mirrors the duality found in the world; consisting of a perishable physical component made by the false God, the Demiurge, and a fragment of the divine essence from the true God, referred to as the divine spark, or the I AM. The gnostic’s mission is to liberate that divine spark.

Human beings are often unaware of this divine spark within them. The Demiurge and his Archons are intent upon keeping men and women ignorant of their true nature and destiny. All our earthly attachments keep us enslaved to these lower cosmic rulers. Death releases the divine spark, but unless the individual has attained gnosis prior to death, they will reincarnate back into the physical world.

Fortunately, Messengers of Light, or Avatars, have been sent from the true God to assist us in our quest for gnosis. Jesus is considered the main saviour figure by gnostics.

In the gnostic texts Jesus speaks of illusion and enlightenment, not of sin and repentance. Instead of redeeming us from our sins, he comes as a guide to aid our spiritual understanding. When the individual attains enlightenment, Jesus is no longer their spiritual master – they become equal.

Gnosticism encourages us to become a ‘being in the world, but not of it’, with a lack of egotism, and a respect for the freedom and dignity of all other beings.

In the fullness of time, with conscious effort, every spiritual being will be reunited with its higher self and be able to enter the Pleroma.

Most gnostic texts are written in mythical form to convey a deeper, underlying meaning. A myth is not only a story, it is a statement made in symbols.

The language of the unconscious is symbolic. A symbol speaks directly to the soul, even when the mind does not understand. When a symbol touches the soul there is a change. Every myth takes its origin in inspiration, from the Latin inspirare, a message from the spirit, the breath of life. The spirit speaks from the cosmos, and gives us answers to the unanswered. Meeting this spirit fulfils a destiny way beyond our material world and these texts are trying to show us the way.

In Gnostic texts, the Archons are often referred to as the ‘Authorities’.

In today’s world the Archons would equate to our world rulers, monarchy, big business, religion and offshoots of these.

Aristotle observed that the mark of a mature mind is to entertain an idea without accepting it, or ‘buying into it’. This form of analysis is referred to as ‘non-ordinary reasoning’. In effect, non-ordinary reason is just like ordinary reason, except that its subject matter is imagined rather than perceived.

Gnostic seers were able to apply non-ordinary reasoning whilst in states of heightened perception to their observations of the Archons.

They concluded the main danger we face with the Archons lies in their ability to deceive, especially about the nature and extent of their powers.

As I said before, information or knowledge is power.

If we know how the Archons operate, then we can reclaim the sovereign power of our spiritual intelligence, or Higher Self Development (HSD).

The Nature of the Rulers (or The Hypostasis of the Archons) maintain the malevolent Demiurge and Archons are real and do exist, but when they are opposed vigorously by the children of the light, will be defeated.
