In the Gnostic Nag Hammadi, Archons are extraterrestrial predatory life inorganic forms that seek to manipulate humanity.
Myth
In 1947, French scholar Jean Doresse identified the Egyptian find at Nag Hammadi as a cache of rare Gnostic texts.
Gnosis (“inner knowing”) was a path of experimental mysticism in which the initiates of the Mystery Schools explored the psyche and the cosmos at large. Using psychoactive plants, yoga, and sex magic, these ancient seers experienced altered states and developed siddhis, occult skills such as clairaudience and remote viewing.
The Nag Hammadi material contains reports of visionary experiences of the initiates, including first-hand encounters with inorganic beings called Archons.
Origin
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.
Powers
According to Gnostics, Archons can affect our minds by subliminal conditioning techniques. Their main tactics are mental error, intellectual virus, or false ideology, and simulation.
Behaviour
Archons are predatory, unlike a wide range of non-human and other-dimensional beings also know to the Gnostics, beings who are benevolent or neutral toward humanity. According to critical appreciation of Gnostic insights, the maintenance of ignorance on UFO phenomena seems to be directed by apparent operatives of inorganic life forms, in order to maintain a collective amnesia that can be used to perpetuate a matrix of manipulation.
