Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas. -
LEGACY of CHRISTIANITY.Pdf
LEGACY OF CHRISTIANITY The Origins of Christianity Certain esoteric teachings suggest that the Christian religion existed before the birth of Jesus Christ. G.I. Gurdjieff, for instance, claimed that the origin of Christianity was in ancient Egypt. In talks with his students he offered a very different history of Christianity than the traditional view of scholars and clerics: “Many people think that the outward form of worship, the rites, the singing of canticles, and so on, were invented by the fathers of the church. Others think that the outward form has been taken partly from pagan religions and partly from the Hebrews. But all of this is untrue. The question of the origin of the Christian church is much more interes- ting than we think.” The Christian church, the Christian form of worship, was not invented by the fathers of the church. It was all taken in a ready-made form from Egypt, only not from the Egypt that we know but from one which we do not know. This Egypt was in the same place as the other but it existed much earlier. Only small bits of it survived in historical times, and these bits have been preserved in secret and so well that we do not even know where they have been preserved. It will seem strange to many people when I say that this prehistoric Egypt was Christian many thousands of years before the birth of Christ, that is to say, that its religion was composed of the same principles and ideas that constitute true Christianity. Special schools existed in this prehistoric Egypt which were called ‘schools of repetition.’ These schools were taken as a model for Christian churches – the form of worship in Christian churches almost entirely represents the course of repetition of the science dealing with the universe and man. -
The Anatomy of a Myth: a Biography
1 Gurdjieff The Secondary Literature: A Selective Bibliography J. Walter Driscoll On January 13, 1949, George Gurdjieff was in New York City and announced his decision to publish Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson. This was a complete departure from the practice he had followed for almost four decades, of expounding his ideas orally and circulating his writings privately. He died on October 29 of that year, barely a week after receiving the publisher’s proofs for Beelzebub’s Tales. Biographers date his birth between 1866 and 1877 in Alexandropol, which is now Gyumri (Gumry), in the Republic of Georgia. Few historical facts about Gurdjieff’s life are certain until he was probably in his forties and emerged in Moscow about 1912. His father was Greek, his mother Armenian. He grew up in this war-torn frontier area of the Caucasus, which for millennia has seen a parade of conquerors; Alexander the Great, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Mongols, the Turks, and latest the Russians. The Caucasus has long been a melting pot of cultures, religions and races from the East and West. Gurdjieff: the 2ndary Literature—Copyright ã2004 J. Walter Driscoll—www.Gurdjieff-Bibliography.com 2 In his autobiographical Meetings with Remarkable Men, Gurdjieff describes how he was deeply influenced by his father’s fund of songs, poems and legends from ancient wisdom-traditions. Gurdjieff’s father preserved this oral tradition as an ashokh or storyteller and troubadour. Privately educated for both medicine and the Eastern Orthodox priesthood, but equally interested in science and technical specialisation, Gurdjieff found that neither conventional religion nor orthodox scientific knowledge answered his ‘irresistible urge’ to understand the meaning and purpose of life and satisfy his questions about the world, the human psyche, and death. -
TRANSCRIPTS of MICHAEL CHANNELING SESSIONS - the ORIGINAL MICHAEL GROUP (Second Edition - Updated)
TRANSCRIPTS OF MICHAEL CHANNELING SESSIONS - THE ORIGINAL MICHAEL GROUP (Second Edition - Updated) INTRODUCTION TERMS OF USE This document is intended to be provided freely but privately to “students” of what has become known as the “Michael Teachings” – MT for short. Readers may provide it freely and privately to other students of the Michael Teachings. It is not suitable as an introduction to the MT, or for people who are not yet mature students. Note especially that word “privately.” Readers do not have permission to publicly distribute this document or any portion thereof. The reason for this is explained below. SOME HISTORY In 1973, a few spiritual seekers in the San Francisco Bay area made contact through the Ouija board with a source of information that came to be known as “Michael.” In this document this will be referred to as The Original Michael Group – TOMG for short. The messages, amounting to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pages, were handwritten or tape recorded at the time of reception. They were then typewritten, and photocopies were distributed to the members of the group. The group grew in number over the next two years until the summer of 1975, when the large group ceased their regular meetings. Afterwards, a core group of friends continued to meet occasionally to receive messages, and some private sessions were held until about 1983. This document is the actual, although incomplete, story of that group. A fictionalized account of TOMG was published in 1979 (in hardcover edition) by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro in her book, Messages from Michael (hereinafter abbreviated to “MFM”). -
Issue 50 As an Opportunity to Include Brian Hartshorne’S Insightful Review of Volume 4 of the DU Written in 1968
DuVersity 50 – Spring 2020 The Hyparchic Present – Anthony Blake Reality - John Bennett The New Epoch – J G Bennett Report on Vol. IV of The Dramatic Uni- verse - Brian Hartshorne The New Design of Spaceships – Anthony Blake The Rule, a Cosmos – Antonio Benet Structural Communication – Anthony Blake Reviews – Various Poems – Michael White and Anthony Blake Online Events – Jason Joslyn Herald of Coming Good - Anthony Blake THE HYPARCHIC PRESENT With this, the publication of our 50th issue, we are prone to reflections on past and future. Our past is deeply influenced by the life and works of John Bennett and this continues to grow in depth and meaning. This is not simply as an effect upon us now, as if it were coming from the past, but in its own right. The idea is simple. As ‘time goes on’ or as we grow older, the span of time connecting us with the past increases. What the past means is revealed more and more, as it is expressed within an enlarging present moment. We seem to be involved in a symmetry in which increase towards the past is matched by in- crease towards a future. In this particular kind of symmetry we discover ourselves at a point of crisis in the middle, a dramatic event. It is not surprising that Bennett found himself writing in his book The Dramatic Universe at the mid 20th century in the middle of a world war, of a change of epoch. The suggestion of an extension of the present moment into the future may seem strange. Look at it this way. -
The Great Chain of Being
THE GREAT CHAIN OF BEING ‘To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.’ William Blake Traditional Conception William Blake’s iconic painting Jacob’s Ladder was inspired by the Old Testament story in the book of Exodus (28:10-19). Jacob, the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, was fleeing from his twin brother Esau who had vowed to kill him. On his way to a relative’s house, Jacob lay down for the night. As he was dreaming, he had a vision of a ladder between heaven and earth. God’s angels were on it, ascending and descending a spiral stairway. Jacob saw God standing above the ladder and communed with Him, receiving “great benedictions and illumi- nations.” The ‘Great Chain of Being’ is historically associated with Plato and Aristotle. In his dialogue Phaedrus, Plato spoke of a great hierarchy of potentiality in his ranking of human souls. And, 1 Aristotle hinted at a continuum of development in his idea that human beings are principally distinguished from animals by their capacity to act on reason rather than instinct. The Great Chain of Being was further conceptualized in Medieval and Renaissance times as a universal hierarchy or Scala Natura (‘scale of nature’), representing the interconnected web of all that exists. “Its major premise was that every existing thing in the universe had its ‘place’ in a divinely planned hierarchical order, which was pictured as a chain vertically extended. An object’s ‘place’ depended on the relative proportion of spirit and matter it contained – the less spirit and the more matter, the lower down it stood.” The Great Chain of Being is arranged in an order ranging from Immutable Perfection (God) to Inanimate Matter (Minerals): God – Angels – Humans – Animals – Plants – Minerals.
