GNOSTIC GRAIL?
Is there an ET connection to the mystery of Jesus? Was the famed carpenter from Galilee actually the Son of God, or a mere itinerant Rabbi preaching Temple reform, or a cunning anti-Roman revolutionary–or was he in fact a Gnostic, whose wisdom and teachings were so radical that a vast authoritarian religious structure was erected to contain and suppress it?
“In 1209 an army of thirty thousand knights and foot soldiers from northern Europe descended like a whirlwind on the Languedoc—the mountainous northeastern foothills of the Pyrenees in what is now southern France. In the ensuing war the whole territory was ravaged, crops were destroyed, towns and cities were razed; a whole population was put to the sword. The extermination occurred on so vast so terrible a scale that it may well constitute the first case of “genocide” in modern European history.”
“The Inquisition arose out of an effort by Pope Innocent II to stamp out a large heretical sect in the south of France known as the “Albigensians.” Innocent II had called for a special Crusade in 1209 to enter France and wipe out the sect. The five-year war, which ensued, devastated the region. Ten years later, a new Pope, Gregory IX, continued the action. He placed the Dominicans in charge of investigating the Albigensians. Gregory gave the Dominican Order full legal power to name and condemn all surviving heretics.”
“The inquisition helped breed a social reaction of violence to non-conforming ideas that the world has not yet fully escaped.”
“Albigensian” and “Cathar” were essentially generic names. In other words they did not refer to a single coherent church, like that of Rome, with a fixed codified, and definitive body of doctrine and theology…in general the Cathars subscribed to a doctrine of reincarnation and to a recognition of the feminine principle in religion. Indeed, the preachers and teachers of Cathar congregations were of both sexes. At the same time the Cathars rejected the orthodox Catholic Church and denied the validity of all clerical hierarchies, all official and ordained intercessors between man and God. At the core of this position lay an important Cathar tenet—the repudiation of ‘faith’ at least as the Church insisted on it…the Cathars insisted on direct and personal knowledge, a religious or mystical experience apprehended at first hand. This experience has been called gnosis, from the Greek word for “knowledge” and for the Cathars it took precedence over all creeds and dogmas. Given such an emphasis on direct personal contact with God, priests, bishops, and other clerical authorities became superfluous.”
“In December 1945 an Egyptian peasant, digging in soft and fertile soil near the village of Nag Hammadi in upper-Egypt, exhumed a red earthenware jar. It proved to contain thirteen codices—papyrus books or scrolls—bound in leather. The Nag Hammadi scrolls are a collection of Biblical texts, essentially Gnostic in character, which date, it would appear, from the late fourth or early fifth century—from about A.D. 400. Taken as a whole, the Nag Hammadi collection constitutes an invaluable repository of early Christian documents—some of which can claim an authority equal to that of the Gospels. What is more, certain of these documents enjoy a claim to a unique veracity of their own, having escaped the censorship and revision of later Roman orthodoxy. They may well rest on first-hand and/or eyewitness sources—oral accounts by Jews fleeing the Holy Land, for instance, perhaps even personal acquaintances or associates of Jesus, who could tell their story with a fidelity the Gospels could not afford to retain.”
“Gnosticism” is the label scholars use for a body of teachings derived from the Mystery Schools of pre-Christian antiquity. Gnostics who protested against (orthodox) Christian doctrines such as divine retribution and Christ’s resurrection found themselves targeted as heretics and were brutally suppressed by early converts to the ‘One True Faith’. The Nag Hammadi material contains reports of visionary experiences of the initiates, including first-hand encounters with inorganic beings called Archons.” (pronounced; Ar-kon, Greek, meaning magistrate, or–the Authorities.)
“In Gnostic cosmology, Archons are a species of inorganic beings that emerged in the solar system prior to the formation of Earth. They are cyborgs inhabiting the planetary system (exclusive of the Earth, Sun and Moon), which is described as a ‘virtual world’ (stereoma) they construct by imitating the geometric forms emanated from the pleroma, the realm of the Generators, the Cosmic Gods. The Archons are a genuine species with their own proper habitat, and may even be considered to be god-like, but they lack intentionality (ennoia: self-directive capacity), and they have a nasty tendency to stray away from their boundaries and intrude on the human realm. Archons are said to feel intense envy toward humanity because we possess the intentionality they lack.”
“Archons are an alien force that intrudes subliminally upon the human mind and deviates our intelligence away from its proper and sane applications. They make us play out our inhumane behavior to weird and violent extremes. Archons are psycho-spiritual parasites.”
“As inorganic beings of two types, embryonic and reptilian, [their] ontological status is dual: they exist both as an alien species independent of humankind, and as a presence in our minds. Working through telepathy and suggestion the Archons attempt to deviate us from our proper course of evolution. Their most successful technique is to use religious ideology to insinuate their way of thinking and, in effect, substitute their mind-set for ours. According to the Gnostics, Judeo-Chrisitian salvationism is the primary ploy of the Archons, an alien implant.”
“Gnostics detected the humanized face of the Archons in all authoritarian structures and systems that deny authenticity and self-determination to the individual. Gnostics recognized the fundamentally corrupt character of all human enterprises and institutions: time, history, powers, states, religions, races, nations…ultimately, they asserted the contention that all power—whatever kind it may be—is a source of alienation. All institutions, laws, religions, churches and powers are nothing but a sham and a trap, the perpetuation of an age old deception.”
“For the Cathars men were the swords that spirits fought with, and no one saw the hands. For the Cathars a perpetual war was being waged throughout the whole of creation between two irreconcilable principles—light and darkness, spirit and matter, good and evil. Catholicism posits one supreme God, whose adversary, the Devil, is ultimately inferior to Him. The Cathars, however, proclaimed the existence of not one god, but two with more or less comparable status. One of these gods—the ‘good’ one was entirely disincarnate, a being or principle of pure spirit, unsullied by the taint of matter. He was the god of love.”
“The majority of Cathars seem to have regarded [Jesus] as a prophet no different from any other—a mortal being who, on behalf of the principle of love, died on the cross. And the cross—at least in association with Calvary and the Crucifixion—was regarded as an emblem of Rex Mundi, [Archon] lord of the material world, the very antithesis of the true redemptive principle. Jesus, if mortal at all, had been a prophet of AMOR, the principle of love. And AMOR, when inverted or perverted or twisted into power, became ROMA—ROME, whose opulent, luxurious Church seemed to the Cathars a palpable embodiment and manifestation on earth of Rex Mundi’s sovereignty.”

The upstart Gnostic Cathars, in the eyes of the Church of Rome, were guilty of heresy and sedition and thus doomed to ruthless extermination–or damage control—by the Archon’s instrument of domination—the Church–to stem the potential spread of a ‘spiritually liberating’ doctrine, in this case, gnosticism. And it should be noted that the famed Knights Templar brotherhood was ordered exterminated by the Church of Rome, one hundred years after the Albegensian Crusade. The Templars were allegedly guardians of the ‘Grail’ as well. Could it be that the Templar order became steeped in heretical Gnostic beliefs as well?
“The Gnostic creation myth is unique in that it includes a full-blown explanation of how inorganic alien beings came to be present in our solar system. The Nag-Hammadi material contains reports of visionary experiences of the initiates, including first-hand encounters with inorganic beings called Archons. Gnostic teaching explains that these entities arose in the early stage of formation of the solar system before the earth was formed. Archons inhabit the solar system, the extraterrestrial realm as such, but they can intrude on earth.
Their main tactics are mental error (intellectual virus, or false ideology, especially religious doctrines) and simulation. Archons are predatory, unlike a wide range of non-human and other-dimensional beings also known to the Gnostics, beings who are benevolent or neutral toward humanity.
Physical descriptions of Archons occur in several Gnostic codices. Two types are clearly identified: a neonate or embryonic type, and a draconic or reptilian type. Obviously, these descriptions fit the Greys and the Reptilians of contemporary reports to a T. Or I should say an ET.
“Gnostics taught that these entities envy us and feed on our fear. Above all they attempt to keep us from claiming and evolving our “inner light,” the gift of divine intelligence within. Archons cannot access our genetic makeup but they can fake an intervention. Considering the confusion in modern times, a faked intervention would be as good as real. This typifies the Archon tactic of getting us to imagine and believe things that are not true, and to accept simulation for reality. In this way, Gnostics taught, these alien cousins can deviate the human species from its true and proper course of evolution.”
(Comments by John Lash, author of metahistory.org.)
The roots of Gnosticism reach far back into the ‘mystery schools’ of ancient Egypt. Halfway around the world, awareness of the Archons could also be traced to the mystic seers of Ancient Mexico…
“We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so…indeed we are held prisoner!”
“They took us over because we are food to them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in coops, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them.”
“Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradictions between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of belief, or the stupidity of his contradictory behavior. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of beliefs, our ideas of good and evil; our social mores. They are the ones who set up our dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed, and cowardice. It is the predator who makes us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal.”
“In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous maneuver—stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist; a horrendous maneuver from the point of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind. The predators’ mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now.”
“I know that even now, though you never have suffered hunger… you have food anxiety, which is none other than the anxiety of the predator who fears that at any moment now its maneuver is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied. Through the mind, which, after all is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them. And they insure, in this manner, a degree of security to act as a buffer against their fear.”
“Sorcerers of ancient Mexico…reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. What I’m saying is that what we have against us not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system to render us useless. Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He’s an average piece of meat.”
“There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to be a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic.”

‘Food’ for the ARCHONS?
The following from: Extra-Terrestrial Friends and Foes, by George C. Andrews. Published by Illuminet Press, 1993.)
“One of the allegations concerning the short Grays is that they have a way of deriving nourishment from what leaves our bodies at the moment of death, that they are eaters of souls, who extract from our spirits a certain principle, through a process comparable to the extraction of hemoglobin from blood, which they use as food, burying the residue elsewhere in the universe, not on this planet.”
“Separation of the etheric body from the soul can also be brought about by malignant entities for predatory purposes, both during life and upon passing into the frontiers into death.”
“The etheric body is charged with energy that is neither as subtle as that of the soul, nor a coarse as that of the physical body, but is intermediate between them. This is a substance highly valued as nourishment by certain other life-forms, which include the Grays. That is what the Grays are after, which they are here to trap as we trap fur-bearing animals. We are now and have for millennia been used by the Grays as a food source, with almost zero awareness of the actual situation. However, the continued survival of the Grays on Earth depends on our continued ignorance of this symbiotic relationship, in which the benefits are strictly one-way.”
“Because of religious conditioning before death, the spirit of the deceased voluntarily approaches a symbol in its path, which is actually a camouflaged instrument that magnetically captures the etheric body, laden with the individual’s life-experience. After having been separated from its etheric body, the soul no longer has any memory of its previous lifetime’s experience, and thus reincarnates again remembering nothing, as it begins to accumulate another body of vital experience. The process goes on and on indefinitely, providing nourishment for the Grays, but paralyzing our evolutionary development by denying us access to the hard-earned wisdom and knowledge gained by experience during our past lives.”
“The Grays are other-dimensional predatory parasites, who have been manipulating us as we manipulate cattle since time immemorial. Their hypnotic control over us is so complete that hardly anyone even begins to realize that they actually exist. But just as one can take effective measures to rid oneself of a tapeworm, when one realizes what the problem is, so humanity now has the opportunity to rid itself of these other-dimensional extraterrestrial parasites. An ever-increasingly widespread realization of the true nature of this predatory game is what will bring about our liberation. The moment each individual realizes that he or she has a direct personal private line to the Source of All, organized religion becomes obsolete and the etheric body eludes capture, because it no longer seeks a symbol, or middle-man, but accompanies the soul straight back to where it came from: God, the Source of All.”
