Archons

Archons and aeons
Introduction:
When we speak of aeons, it is best to imagine them as a force field, something impersonal, although attempts have been made by humans to personalise it. For instance, in the Catholic Church, God the Father is often depicted in artworks as a stern old man sitting on a cloud above the earth, etc. The aim of this was to instil in those exposed to it the impression that it was not to be trifled with, and to create the illusion that there was indeed something they must obey. Explaining the force field as a spirit was apparently too difficult; we must not forget the times in which all this came into being. The saying "seeing is believing" and "a picture tells a thousand words" is apt here. The larger and more dramatic the depiction, the greater its effect, and the same applies to images of saints. Every image created had a myth or a story attached to it. Think of how children can fear the image of Saint Nicholas, which finds its origins in Bishop Nicholas of Myra, a Greek saint who lived in the third/fourth century AD in Lycia, Asia Minor. Two and three-dimensional images are tools to make people within a religion aware of the force field that they depict; what we see is a representation of an aeon. More important is what the force field represents; there are good aeons and bad aeons. There are images of God, but also images of the devil. A second reason for these representations is to make us aware of what the power, or force field, or aeon represents and what influence it has on our actions. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of "religious" images: idols in the Roman Empire, Greek mythology, the Egyptian cults, and so on. Each image played a role in the behaviour of those associated with it; it was, and in some cases still is, an important part of daily life. For instance, the Romans sought success for a military campaign from the god Mars, while the Greeks turned to Ares. This is not unfamiliar in Catholicism either; Saint Rita, among others, is venerated for hopeless cases. The Druids worshipped the sun, and the mistletoe was a sacred symbol. These examples prove that people of any belief system accept that there are powers, but do not know what they are or what they can expect from them. However, accepting and acknowledging that these forces exist is proof in itself. It is not self-evident that a belief from, for example, Roman Mithras would be accepted by the Druids. One belief system will find it very difficult to accept another, even though they are trying to understand and grasp the same thing through different practices and rituals. It always comes down to accepting unseen forces: an aeon is an aeon, an archon is an archon; it is only the interpretation of humans within their own religion that determines its meaning. Another point is how people experience aeons or their power, which is sometimes difficult to articulate. The biggest misconception is assuming that aeons always have a characteristic; that is not so—you have good aeons and bad aeons. The main difference is that bad aeons have less creative power than good aeons, but they present themselves as something greater than they truly are. The fallen angel was and is also an aeon, just like conscious awareness; however, conscious awareness has more creative power than the aeon of the fallen angel. To give an example: if you are moved by something, whether it strongly affects you with sadness or joy, the emotion is the feeling of the power of the aeons—not one, but all those that carry the good; it is the merciful divine power that touches your soul and spirit. But the opposite can also manifest; if you are inflamed with unrestrained, spiteful rage, it can be an aeon from the darker side of the aeon spectrum, especially if there is no reasonable cause for the anger. An aeon is indeed a force field, an immaterial and intangible power field. An aeon touches the spirit and thereby also the soul. As individuals, we are always under the influence of aeons, at every moment of our earthly existence. But that is not all; there are not only aeons, there are also archons. An archon is an entity that emerges from an aeon; it is a tool of the aeon, created by the aeon to execute what is commanded. The best way to describe an archon is as an immaterial being that dwells within humans through its presence in the soul. As we have seen, humans are a creation of the archons; they have built an immortal soul within the physical body, which is also immaterial. You can see it as a control system built in to make the physical body do things that benefit the aeon through archontic influence. The body is material and temporary; the soul is immortal, so the timeframe in which a soul can execute the commands of the archons via a body to feed the aeon is limited. Given that creation constantly repeats itself, the presence of bodies and souls is of importance to the aeon. The spiritual struggle so often spoken of is fought on the level of good and bad aeons; the aeons that have the most souls under their control have the upper hand at that moment and determine what happens with creation. We, the people with a soul, have little to contribute to this struggle; the archons much more so. But there is hope; this will become apparent later. How can archons be found? They are immaterial. The answer to this is simple: you cannot see them, but you can see their consequences. Archons each have a characteristic, traits that everyone is familiar with. We are just not aware that they come from the archons; we are "blind" and sometimes "dead," not physically but spiritually. What does this all mean? The best way to recognise archontic influence is to define it. It is not directly necessary for us material entities to describe an archon, but it is essential to know what it means for us to recognise the influence that flows from it. It is predictable that such archontic influence does not bring good news; after all, when the archons created the soul, they implanted a series of dormant influences. Every soul is therefore inherently susceptible to corruption. By realising things in the material world that can awaken and feed these dormant archontic traits, they seek to ensure that material humans are always subject to their ideology and can thus be fully claimed as their creation. A material human is therefore, from the beginning, bound and trapped by the presence of archons on one hand and the consequences of their manipulation and awakening on the other. It can thus be stated that the material human is a possession of the archontic realm, entirely under their control, only to serve their purposes. But there is hope! How to recognise it: Archontic influence is known by another name—the deadly sins!
Pride
Greed
Lust
Envy
Gluttony
Wrath
Sloth
We are all familiar with these influences; they are forces that never bring anything good. However, the institution that assigned these "sins" to us all never provided an explanation for them; they stated that it was due to the original sin from the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, suggesting that the fault lay with us because of a so-called sinful mistake that occurred outside of time, and since then, the Creator has let us roam the world as sinners. The result was that everyone assumed they were in the wrong, bearing a sense of guilt towards God that was difficult to reconcile without the intervention of the all-encompassing religion. The Catholic Church burdened everyone with a guilt (feeling) for which they held the key to resolve. The Catholic Church declared: "We have all fallen in Adam." No wonder that most believers were submissive to the religion; they were, after all, declared guilty. It also becomes clear here that the answers have been concealed by religion; in Gnosticism, those answers can be found. Religion states that humans are not free due to their inherited guilt. In Gnosticism, it is stated that every person is free and should live in such a way that he/she does not fall for the treacherous traps of the archons. If the soul is equipped with dormant archontic influences, it can be ensured that they are not activated. In the Gnostic texts, which were forbidden by the church fathers, it is written: "The powers have authority over humans only if they freely submit to them." "For by nature, man is free. Only man himself can change that freedom into slavery by freely delivering himself to the Powers." It is the individual who makes the choice each time to either choose the good or the bad, to give in to or resist an archontic influence. Acting out of a sense of guilt often leads to surrender to what is not needed, under the illusion of alleviating that guilt. If those feelings of guilt are then magnified by fear, the fate of the soul is quickly sealed. Given that archontic characteristics are implanted in the soul and can be activated by temptations, much temptation is therefore created in the material world by the Powers. Desire is perhaps the greatest of the archontic traps for the soul; continually fulfilling a desire, or precisely not being able to fulfil it, can activate all the other archontic elements. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall.
