Transcendence & Trangression
Read a thought provoking post on Alchemical BrainDamage about Initiation & Counter-Initiation
The upshot seemed to be that initiatory organizations have become degraded such that people who participate in certain types of practices that could be broadly categorized as “shamanic” are surrendering their souls in the quest for power
False spirituality gives people certain powers drawn from [...]
Hidden History of the Flood
Almost every culture on Earth has some sort of flood myth - and the same haunting feeling accompanies them all, the same nagging suspicion that something so traumatic as to be almost unbearable might actually have happened.
Intense trauma can sometimes hide itself from awareness by short-circuiting the memory; this may be why so many of [...]
Naughty Norea
It was not Noah who was the hero of the flood story, but Eve's daughter Norea - a fiery, rebellious young woman who sabotaged Noah's ark, rejected Yaldabaoth's lecherous advances and finally escaped on the wings of an angel.
Yaldabaoth, the story goes, was so disturbed when he realized that mankind had begun to "multiply [...]
Archons of Eden
As the gnostic scriptures reveal, the Garden of Eden was not a paradise, but a prison laboratory where fallen angels called “Archons” conducted a series of bizarre experiments in an attempt to produce a compliant strain of primate slaves.
The Biblical Genesis myth does not recount the introduction of intelligent life to this planet; rather, [...]
Sophia Revealed
When he had finished creating the physical universe, Yaldabaoth boasted to the angels beneath him, demanding that they worship him as the supreme being:
"[Yaldaboth] said… 'I am a jealous God, and there is no other God besides me.' But by making this announcement, he suggested to the angels with him that there is [...]
Adam the Golem
Adam (the first man) was a misbegotten android, spawned when Yaldabaoth tried to duplicate and enslave a reflected vision of Immortal Man which startled the Rulers when it appeared in the waters of paradise.
“Now the Rulers took some soil from the earth and modeled their Man, after their body and after the Image of God [...]
Adam Awakens
When Adam came to life, the Rulers panicked as they realized that the creature they had created was becoming too clever for them to manipulate:
"The body moved, and became powerful. And it was enlightened. At once the rest of the powers became jealous. Although Adam had come into being through all of them, and [...]
The Forbidden Fruit
Hoping to keep mankind ignorant, the Archons warned Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge:
"…when the Rulers saw [Adam] and the woman who was with him, erring in ignorance like the beasts, they rejoiced greatly. When they knew that the deathless man would not only pass by them, but that [...]
Eating from the Tree
Adam ate from the Tree of Knowledge and absorbed some of Eve's divine force. The surge of living, intelligent energy in his nervous system triggered a spontaneous kundalini arousal, opening a direct channel between his reproductive organs and his brain and blowing his third eye open.
Suddenly able to see into non-ordinary reality, Adam [...]
The Phony Fall
Adam and Eve awoke from the Rulers' brainwashing and discovered that they had been experiments, built by Yaldabaoth in a misguided effort to imprison and enslave the light from above. The Rulers moved quickly to suppress this nascent rebellion, descending from the heavens with a thunderous clap:
"Then when the Rulers knew that they [...]
