This clip demonstrates the mechanism that Archons use to gain control of the human soul at or before death, through manipulation into an agreement. They have no real power beyond manipulating people into an agreement with them, and their purpose is to trap souls, to then feed off of them in the reincarnation cycle. ~Nathan

An addendum was added in 2011.

following derives from a discussion I had with Alex Grey in 2005 and an
interview I did with George Noory and Alex in 2006.)
(The cover design comes from a pen and ink drawing I made when I was seventeen entitled, “Parasites.”)
My
best introduction to the mind parasite topic is: Mind Parasites, Energy
Parasites and Vampires there are numerous other related documents in
the mind parasite category of this site. If you prefer audio mode, The
Mind Parasite Matrix is a several hour audio presentation that includes
most of the material in the documents and adds some interviews with mind
parasite experiencers.

Alex’s Vision
Alex was in a loft in Boston where a colleague of Timothy Leary had
given a group of 15-20 people, most of them quite inexperienced, LSD.
Alex took a double dose. The social environment of Alex’s trip was
extremely chaotic—-some people were laughing uncontrollably, some were
vomiting, some were groping other people, and there was no one who was
managing the chaos. Alex began to have an out-of-body experience, and
found himself hovering above the weirdness of what was going on in the
loft. On some different plane he saw deities drinking from a pool of
“electric milk” a “vast lake of timpani,” of “vibrating energy.” Alex
described the vision as follows:
“I
had a vision of the group soul of humanity as a perfectly circular pool
of intense living light. All around the rim of the milky pool were a
complex variety of sexual rites, a metaphor for all social interaction.
Translucent Hindu deities swooped over the group taking the excessive
energy of the shimmering pool and passing through the group as ecstasy
and pain. I saw that the reason we were all brought together was to
provide a psychic energy feast for the Gods and Goddesses. I saw my
heart as the axis of karmic, earthly, and universal energies, transected
by and uniting the polarities of male/female, birth/death, good/evil,
and love/hate. To maintain a balance of forces we all fed both Deities
and Demons.”
This visionary experience eventually became the masterpiece: Demons and Deities Drinking from the Milky Pool.
(
This painting is published in Sacred Mirrors, which is filled with
extraordinary images and you can order it through alexgrey.com, Amazon,
etc.)
A Vision of the Top of the Food Chain
The
demons and deities were feeding from a pool of “vibratory energetic
milk” created from human activities of all kinds, though Alex used
sexual coupling to represent human activities in general. I suggested
that the couplings were visual shorthand of human energetic transactions
of all kinds and Alex responded enthusiastically to that
description. Apparently, the deities were drinking from a vibratory pool
of the energetic metabolism of the species so that through the pool
they were drawing energy from the entire species.
A reductive
way of describing Alex’s vision is to say that it represents the very
top of the food chain. The painting, however, is much more than that; it
is a revelation of the human form transcending the food chain.
Transcendence does not mean removing or floating above something. What
you transcend is still present, and the transcendent state includes that
which is transcended while new vistas of awareness are added. Alex’s
paintings are “forbidden seeing” —-revelations of what is hidden but
that the species desperately needs to see. Conventionally we see
ourselves as the top of the food chain, but Demons and Deities… reveals
this as a delusion convenient to those who harvest our energy. Another
realization about this painting is that it is a classic illustration of
the alchemical principle of “as above, so below.” We see the same
range, if more polarized, of darkness and light amongst the deities at
the cardinal points of the mandala as we do in the human couplings that
form the perimeter. And there was also a similar dark/light range in the
chaotic loft where some people were acting out dark compulsions while
Alex was receiving this transcendent vision.
Sexual Chi as Food Source
Alex’s
artistic decision to represent all human activities by a range of
sexual couplings was no random choice. Sexual chi is a potent energetic
food that can be harvested by human parasites and predators and
possibly other types of parasites and predators. Orgasms can be viewed
as energetic flowers blossoming in the collective human energy
field. The couplings are arranged in a kind of circular spectrum from
loving couplings to atavistic, sadistic-looking couplings. Benevolent
entities appear to be feeding off the energy of the loving couplings and
demonic entities, one of which looks like a devouring vagina, are
feeding off of the degraded (sex as a metaphor for power) couplings.
Orgasms, which are energetic eruptions into, and interpenetrations with,
the collective human field, vary from the ecstatic unions of loving
soulmates to the sadistic ejaculations of rapists. The couplings that
Alex depicts in this image can be viewed as a circular spectrum of these
possibilities oriented to the cardinal points of a mandala where there
are also associated deities.
A Carnival of Lost Souls
The
background of Alex’s vision is also interesting and instructive. He was
in a chaotic boundary-dissolving experience with a group of people who
were predominantly strangers. Socially dense environments of strangers
and substances mixing together are likely to default to
lowest-common-denominator factors of social parasitism/sexual
predation/chaotic acting out of fragmented personalities—what I
sometimes call a carnival of lost souls. Everything depends on who are
the particular people in a group that is having a boundary-dissolving
experience or ritual. Naïve people frequently forget this. Such people
think the ritual is what matters and take all comers, but this can be a
disaster! Generally, I think it unwise to have boundary- dissolving
experiences (such as sex and/or hallucinogenic trips) with people you
don’t know and wouldn’t trust with your life, because you are trusting
your life with them. There are, of course, exceptions to everything and a
visionary as great as Alex Grey was able to rise above the experience
and receive a powerful vision about human energy and the entities that
harvest it. (Though I have a feeling he wouldn’t choose to be in another
such chaotic situation.) Otherwise, I caution people about doing things
such as going to a rave with a sketchy vibe redolent of prowling sexual
agendas (in other words, almost any rave) and opening themselves to the
toxic energy by taking a boundary-dissolving substance. Unless you want
to internalize a carnival of lost souls it is probably unwise to blow
yourself wide open in an setting of trance-inducing music/lighting and
stoned people, many of them on the prowl for parasitic sexual
encounters.
An Ancient Gnostic Text on Parasitic Abduction
The
power of this image is that it shows those who harvest our energy, and
yet at the center of the image is the human empowerment that occurs as
we awaken to the food chain. The ancient Gnostics had similar visions
and called the harvesting deities the “Archons” (see: A Gnostic View of
Mind Parasites). Also, notice how closely the scenario described below
parallels a modern alien abduction experience.
(The
following ancient Gnostic text is excerpted from the superb
metahistory.org website. Here’s the link to the full article
http://www.metahistory.org/GnosticCatechism.php)
From The First Apocalypse of James
(NHC V, 3), a revelation dialogue in which an unnamed teacher (the
“Lord” or “Master”) confers secret knowledge upon a Gnostic named James:
The
Master said: James, behold, I shall reveal to you the path of your
redemption. Whenever you are seized and you undergo death-pangs (mortal
fear), a multitude of Archons may turn on you, thinking they can capture
you. And in particular, three of them will seize you, those who pose as
toll collectors. Not only do they demand toll, but they take away souls
by theft.
Now, when you come under their power, one of them who is the overseer will say to you: “Who are you, and where are you from?”
You are then to say to him, “I am a child of humanity and I am from the Source.”
He will then say to you, “What sort of child are you, and to what Source do you belong?”
You are to say to him, “I am from the pre-existent Source, and I am the offspring of the Source.”
Then he will say to you, “Why were you sent out from the Source?”
Then you are to say to him, “I came from the Pre-existent One so that I might behold those of my kind and those who are alien.”
And he will say to you, “What are these alien beings?”
You
are to say to him: “They are not entirely alien, for they are from the
Fallen Sophia (Achamoth), the female divinity who produced them when she
brought the human race down from the Source, the realm of the
Pre-Existent One. So they are not entirely alien, but they are our kin.
They are indeed so because she who is their matrix, Sophia Achamoth, is
from the Source. At the same time they are alien because Sophia did not
combine with her like in the Source (her divine male counterpart), when
she produced them.”
When he also says to you, “Where will you go now?”
You
are to say to him, “To the place when I came, the Source, there shall I
return.” And if you respond in this manner, you will escape their
attacks.
(NHC V, 3. 33 – 34: 1- 25. Translation from NHLE 1990, pp. 265-6 and Kurt Rudolf, Gnosis, p. 174-5.)
What
I find amazing is that Alex, in creating this painting, has followed
the instructions of the unnamed Gnostic teacher to perfection. The image
shows that which is human and alien. It also shows that man is from the
source and at the center. This is the secret of our transcendence of
the food chain according to the Gnostics. The Archons are masters of
deception who manipulate by encouraging us to give away our power to
external saviors and authorities. We become like the living dead when
they succeed, like Tolkien’s Ring Wraiths—-withered, obsessed beings
forever craving but unable to reach “The Precious,” which could take the
form of an object or person of desire, or a fanatic
ideology/fundamentalist religion that enslaves us to its version of
salvation. When the deceivers succeed we get, for example, possessed
suicide bombers hungry for death and their seventy-two virgins in
paradise. The way out of this deceptive matrix is the recognition that
we are of the source, of the source of nourishment. An incompleteness is
revealed in the Archons because they must depend on us for their
derivative nourishment. Clearly Alex was brought out from the source to
behold such things and share with us his revelations.
A
way out of the bondage of deception is the path of wholeness that is
our birthright. The principle of androgyny, the inner alchemical
marriage of yin and yang, masculine and feminine, releases us from an
enslaved relation to the matrix. I have written about this in Casting
Precious into the Cracks of Doom—–Androgyny, Alchemy, Evolution and the
One Ring
Two Other Related Alex Grey Paintings
Two
of Alex’s paintings in his most recent book, Transfigurations, depict
what seem to me a mind parasite attack and the human condition of
bondage and mind parasite insertion. In the painting entitled Despair
we see a figure with his head down being attacked by small entities
equipped with stingers and insectile parts while inside the mouth of
some larger deity. The points of attack seem to correspond to
chakras. In Self-Hate/Endarkenment we see humans held in shackles and an
entity appears to be stinging the figure in the foreground in his third
eye. To me it seems as if it is inserting its mind or will into this
human victim.
Addendum:
After
I wrote the above, on August 14 of 2006, Alex joined me for thirty
minutes of a three hour interview with George Noory of Coast-to-Coast
AM. After he recounted the LSD experience I asked Alex if he thought
that the parasitic beings had influenced the chaotic behavior he
witnessed in the loft.
Alex replied:
“At one point I did feel that this entire thing has been orchestrated by
these beings, that our coming together was not an accident… When we
feel influenced to do certain things, or intuitively guided to do
certain things– many times we may seek guidance from a higher realm—In
the same way one can be vulnerable to the influence from beings from a
lower realm.”
Alex then described another mind parasite experience he had under the influence of LSD:
“I remember one time being on one of the most harrowing LSD adventures I
ever had. I felt like I was a flapper in the wheel of fortune and every
realm of being and dimension was one of these slots that the little
flapper was open to. And in one such dimension that was flying by I saw
this really strange insect-like creature lunge out at me. After I came
back from this trip, and for days afterward, I was really feeling out of
sorts and very energetically drained. And I realized that this thing
had jumped out and was probably still embedded in my aura. So I did a
whole cleansing to draw all the energy back into the heart and then
expand it out from the heart to banish this being.”

A GNOSTIC CATECHISM
http://www.metahistory.org/gnostique/archonfiles/GnosticCatechism.php
ENCOUNTERS WITH ALIENS IN A MYSTERY SCHOOL TEXT
Here and there the Coptic Gnostic materials contain passages that describe encounters with the ET-like beings, sometimes with explicit advice about how to handle these entities. What beliefs are implied in such testimony? And what are we to believe about such testimony? I will attempt to address both these questions in this brief topical essay.
OCCULT INSTRUCTION
For a first-hand look at the testimony, let's consider a passage from The First Apocalypse of James (NHC V, 3), a revelation dialogue in which an unnamed teacher (the "Lord" or "Master") confers secret knowledge upon a Gnostic named James:
The Master said: James, behold, I shall reveal to you the path of your redemption. Whenever you are siezed and you undergo death-pangs (mortal fear), a multitude of Archons may turn on you, thinking they can capture you. And in particular, three of them will sieze you, those who pose as toll collectors. Not only do they demand toll, but they take away souls by theft.
Now, when you come under their power, one of them who is the overseer will say to you: "Who are you, and where are you from?"
You are then to say to him, "I am a child of humanity and I am from the Source."
He will then say to you, "What sort of child are you, and to what Source do you belong?"
You are to say to him, "I am from the pre-existent Source, and I am the offspring of the Source."
Then he will say to you, "Why were you sent out from the Source?"
Then you are to say to him, "I came from the Pre-existent One so that I might behold those of my kind and those who are alien."
And he will say to you, "What are these alien beings?"
You are to say to him: "They are not entirely alien, for they are from the Fallen Sophia (Achamoth), the female divinity who produced them when she brought the human race down from the Source, the realm of the Pre-Existent One. So they are not entirely alien, but they are our kin. They are indeed so because she who is their matrix, Sophia Achamoth, is from the Source. At the same time they are alien because Sophia did not combine with her like in the Source (her divine male counterpart), when she produced them."
When he also says to you, "Where will you go now?"
You are to say to him, "To the place when I came, the Source, there shall I return." And if you respond in this manner, you will escape their attacks.
(NHC V, 3. 33 - 34: 1- 25. Translation from NHLE 1990, pp. 265-6 and Kurt Rudolf, Gnosis, p. 174-5.)
Considerable information is packed into this exchange. The resemblance to contemporary reports of close encounters is undeniable: the Archons induce a state of mortal panic, they often appear in threes, they perform abductions ("take away souls by theft"). These details present a striking match to contemporary ET/UFO lore. But in an equally striking departure from the current literature, the Gnostic teacher gives explicit instructions on how to face the alien entities. The vast amount of testimony on the ET/UFO phenomenon available today presents almost nothing on defence against alien intrusion. Contactees and abductees are passive witnessed, overwhelmed and overpowered by the aliens. But Gnostic writings not only describe such encounters, they also prescibe defensive action. The Master offers cogent counsel for keeping the Archons in their place.
Gnosis is a remembering of our origins. The student is instructed to remember the cosmic birthright of humankind, and to affirm its direct link to the Pleroma, the Source. Specifically, the student is taught to recall and repeat the key episode in Gnostic mythology, the fall of the Aeon Sophia, and thus effectuate a defence against the Archons. By recounting the myth of their origins, the student demonstrates initiated knowledge of the origin and identity of the entities s/he is facing.
Intentional recall of cosmic matters disempowers the Archons. This, at least, is a clear inference from the above passage. The tactic of remembrance accords closely with indigenous wisdom — consider, for instance, the saying of the Na-Khi, a Tibetan people of southeastern China: "One must relate the origin of the medicine, otherwise it cannot work its magic." Shamans heal, not only by their knowledge of the properties of plants, but also by their recounting the story of the plant. Likewise, Gnostics defeated the Archons with the "medicine" (occult power) of mythological recall.
The Coptic materials become increasingly relevant as we realize they do not merely present pedantic or recondite commentaries on a dead religion, but vital insights on the timeless spiritual dilemmas of humanity, insights as valid today as they were 2000 years ago. Describing the find at Nag Hammadi, Tobias Churton writes, "Had Mohammed Ali not broken open the jar, we would not be able to hear these things. In the truest sense of the word, these things are dynamite. One might have imagined headlines throughout the world..." (The Gnostics, p. 12)
But there were no such headlines, even in the tabloids. It took many years before the codexes were translated and still, even today, no scholar will allow that these rare Coptic codices contain reliable accounts of encounters with ET-like entities.
Ideological Virus In another passage of The First Apocalypse of James, the Master refers to those people "who exist as the type of the Archons" (30:20). Gnostics were not only alert to the intrusion of the Archons, they were also acutely aware of the possibility of humans becoming totally "Archontized." This threat appears to have emerged in a particularly alarming way in that era to which Philip K. Dick often refers: the first century of the Common Era, when the Incarnation of Christ is said to have occured, according to Christian belief. Both the time and the place where Archontic molding of human character set in strongly are specified in the Nag Hammadi texts. In his Gnostic view of the human condition, Dick assumed that the spiritual life of humanity was arrested at that moment. It is as if the behavior of those "who exist as the type of Archons" locked into place in that era, and came to dominate all subsequent centuries — until the moment in 1945 when the Nag Hammadi texts were discovered.
In a close parallel to Philip K. Dick's vision of "the Empire," Wilhelm Reich saw the rise of a similar syndrome which he characterized as "the mechanico-mystical" complex. (See The Mass Psychology of Fascism.) Its signature is "authoritarian ideology," the mindset of fascism and patriarchal domination. Significantly, archon was the common term for "governer," or "authority" in Roman times. In some translations of the Coptic materials, archon (plural, archontoi) is rendered as "the authorities." Reich's analysis of what I propose to call the mystico-fascist complex focusses on National Socialism, the Nazi movement, which he experienced first-hand, but The Mass Psychology of Fascism contains ample referenes to Catholicism and the Holy Roman Empire, the millennial ancestor of the mystico-fascist program.
For more comments on this subject viewed in a contemporary vein, see Armageddon Politics.In allusion to the fascist ideology of the "authorities", Philip K. Dick wrote: "The Empire is the institution, the codification, of derangement; it is insane and imposes its insanity on us by violence, since its nature is a violent one." (Valis, p. 235, citing entry 41 from "The Exegesis.")
This is purely a Gnostic insight, compatible with passages in the NHC and deeply resonant with Reich's views on the massenpsychosen of Roman Christianity. It might be argued that the Nazis were not Christians, but in fact Hitler imagined himself as a Grail Knight, modelled after Wagner's Parsifal, and the saviour complex of Judaeo-Christian belief is wholly transposed into Nazi racial ideology — hence the "Aryan Christ" identified, and, to some degree, embraced by C. G. Jung. The Holy Reich, published in 2004 by Richard Steigman-Gall, professor of history at Kent State University in the USA, argues that Hitler was sincere in calling himself a Christian, and reveals to what extent Christian ideology was embraced by the Nazi party and contributed to the advancement of their cause.
Wilhelm Reich warned that since the breakdown of the pre-Christian ethos of earth-oriented Paganism, "the biological core of humanity has been without social representation." (Ibid., p. xii). This is a staggering observation, to say the least.
The "authorities" exhibit the behavior of spiritual zombies, people who exemplify a baffling mix of mystical and militaristic fixations. (What I have called behavioral cloning is widely evident in both militaristic and mystical behavior, such as we see today in neocon religious realpolitik, although it is also embodied in the mass conformity of global consumerism and the rites of technophilia.) According to Reich, these fixations, focussed on the master fixation on a transcendent God beyond the Earth, arise from the repression and displacement of somatic sensations, especially sexual-genital feelings. Philip K. Dick agreed with Reich in observing that the mystico-fascist ideology grows like armor around people who adopt these fixations, either through indoctrination or intimidation ("conversion"). The mystico-fascist ideology operates like a virus, "imposing its form on its enemies. Thereby it becomes it enemies." (Valis, p. 235) The ideology of the authorities can infect even those who resist it. Hence it turns humanity against itself.
But it would appear that some Gnostics were immune to infection—not by accident, but due to their deliberate practice of orgiastic sexual techniques to produce immunity, and due, in equal measure, to their explicit teachings on the Archons and how to resist them, as seen in the above passage from The First Apocalypse of James. Gnostic observers on the ground when Christianity arose saw salvationist ideology exactly the way Philip K. Dick did: as a virus. An ideological virus, to be precise. Pagan intellectuals of the day even used that very term for the fanaticism of the converts.
Gnostics saw the tyranny of belief, of metaphysical fantasies that underwrite militaristic agendas, in the rise of early Christianity. We can only imagine what they would see today in the political religiosity of the American right.
Defending Humanity
-
The Archons cast a 'trance" over Adam... They put him into
a sleepy state, but it was his perception they dulled... They
make our hearts heavy that we may not pay attention and may not
see. So we lose the reflection of the Divine Light within us..
. [Thus the Archons acted on humanity] with a view to deceive.
When the life-spirit increases and the illuminating power of the body strengthens the soul, no one can lead you astray into the lessening of your humanity. But those on whom the counterfiet spirit preys are alienated from humanity and deviated... The despicable spirit gains strength by leading us astray. The Archons burden the soul, attracting us to works of evil, and pull us down into oblivion, making us forget who we are.
(The Apocryphon of John, II, 22: 14-10, through 27-20.)
In the Gnostic view, human beings "who exist as the type of the Archons" are those who blindly follow religious ideologies of an insane and inhumane nature, for it is primarily through religious beliefs that the Archons intrude upon us. Behavior driven by such beliefs produces pathological personality fixations, resulting in the spiritual zombie. All scholars agree that some Gnostics condemned equally the Jewish origins of the Christian salvationist program, and the Pauline-Johannine program itself. Doing so, they did not spread a hate message against anyone. Rather, they attempted to expose what they perceived to be the hateful and deceiving message disguised in the Judeo-Christian ideology of salvation. At the source of this message, they detected the subliminal intrusion of the Archons into the human mind. Hence the thrust and preponderance (more than half of all surviving material, by my estimate) of politically and theologically incorrect passages in the Coptic materials.
Whether or not Gnostics were delusional about the Archons is a private judgement call. But a fair and open-minded reading of the Coptic texts will not yield much evidence for derangement on their part. The seers who exposed derangement were not deranged. They were sober and methodical in describing what they knew, and extremely conscientious in prescribing action to face the perceived threat. They believed that they really had identified that most baffling of all enigmas: the root cause of inhumanity in human nature.
What are we to believe about all this today? There is an issue of credibility here, of course — that is to say, we may consider the source of Gnostic teachings apart from their content. But Gnosis is by definition a matter of knowing and not of believing. It is about enlightenment, not faith. To give Gnostics credit for actually knowing what they claimed to know is only the first step. Beyond that, we must confirm what they knew by our own resources, our own faculties. This is the perennial challenge of Gnosis, the living, ever-renewing cognition of the human spirit.
There is more commentary on The First Apocalypse of James in the Reading Plan.Knowledge of that which is alive can alone banish terror.
