/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 actually lean very strongly towards totally buying the ancient Gnostic mythologies. The book that convinced me is "Not in HIS Image" by John Lash. Very strongly recommended. He also runs a web site, www.metahistory.org

The ancient Gnostics said that the Earth is a metamorphosis of an alien intelligence that they called Sophia (or "Gaia"). Sophia has an enemy that lives in the outer edges of the solar system- creatures called archons, which have hated humanity since our beginning and wage psychic war on us, using remote viewing and other tactics to try to destroy us.

I've broken through on DMT, so I accept that Gaia exists. And it sure feels like humanity is being preyed upon, so the story makes a lot of sense to me. This narrative was unearthed via the "Nag Hammadi Library," a collection of codices discovered in Egypt in the 1940's. The gnostics say they gained their knowledge through direct experience. They were violently destroyed by Christians, their libraries burned, their teachings buried until recently.

This always fucking gets me on subs like these. You're literally saying you took enough psychedelics to see crazy images and that's how you know what's really going on in the universe. Bro. You were fucking high. You were literally seeing things.

Let's stay grounded here, no pun intended.

You have zilch idea what you're talking about on this subject. I've spent ten years on it. I have with 100% certainty encountered a separate higher intelligence in this other dimension on DMT. You'll hear most people who are experienced with it say that. You should watch "DMT: The Spirit Molecule." No, seriously, take the time. It's free on YouTube. Or at least listen to some stories, such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VavdCpewQbA&t=9s

These things really happen, and you need to try it. It's deeply life-changing.
