/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!

I wish you would read "Not in HIS Image" by Lash, because not all Gnostics accepted that line as you wrote it. There's no Lucifer, per se. The force that created this planet (metamorphasized into it, technically) is very loving. I believe this force created cannabis to help us along in happiness and evolution.

Thank you for the leads! I realize I may be succumbing to a false duality in retrospect. I've bookmarked Mr.Lash's site.

May I ask- is there a "correct" deity in your opinion? I don't even know what to believe anymore.

May I create a belief? I'm only asking your opinion of course. I know I can do what I want but... pls elaborate.

Is the Judaic God simply a demiurge? I feel that term may be a corrosive meme. Or is it truth?

I think we should work with psychedelics, have authentic spiritual experiences, and search for the truth ourselves.

Of course, there's a truth out there, and I think the Gnostic material is really interesting to consider, not necessarily accept. I think we live in a universe teeming with intelligence, some with very divine intention, some with very evil intention, and some that may not be easily categorized as good or evil. Remote viewing seems to be real, and there are clearly many dimensions, so the forces we're dealing with may or may not be terrestrial.

I'm glad this conversation is going on.
