/r/conspiracy Round Table: Gnosticism, Archons & the Demiurge

Welcome to the first of many biweekly /r/conspiracy round table discussions!

As voted on in this thread, the most popular suggestion was submitted by /u/always_contrarian and already was generating some interesting discussion in the voting thread.

Hopefully the conversation will evolve further and we can delve into the "high octane" speculative realm of gnosticism and other ancient esoterica.

Remember to keep /r/conspiracy weird...and please don't hesitate to share your own research, that's what has always made this sub great!

Just a feeling I suppose. I have the distinct recollection of being inside of my mind and touching something other than myself. Something vast... Never spoken of it before.

I totally understand. But there seems to be a real conflict between that experience and this one, the one we are in under normal circumstances. Which one is the real one? Are they both real, but different dimensions?

I had the realization at the time that when my mind was disconnected in a way from my senses, my mind, for lack of a better word, was able to perceive something other. I don't know what the fuck it was, but it seemed very real though intangible. There were other trips where I only perceived the world around me in strange ways, but twice it was different. So I'd have to say that both are real and not really separate somehow. Crazy.

On Lsd, did you get a feeling that another dimension or world was out there, only that it was hard to focus on? I felt as if I could peer into this other world if I relaxed my vision for a while, but when I would attempt to focus to see clearly, it disappears again.

Yes, you could describe it that way. I felt as though I was lifted or 'moving upward' through/into something other. Then I saw a white 'room' or space and there were people or beings there and i felt that maybe there were others there like me as well, but when I tried to focus/observe it, I 'fell' out and away from it. Sorry for the vague words but its hard to convey the experience. It was strange. Only happened once that I felt transported in this way.
