Let's have a thread about gnostic ARCHONS.
I'll post the little bit I know. I'm not an expert.
So others with better knowledge please jump in.
I put this in CONSPIRACY of religions and not just religion
because I think that ARCHONS may be being covered up.
It could be that people just don't believe in them and it's
not a conspiracy ... but it could be so here it is.
Upfront .... I'll say that I'm 50/50 on if ARCHONS exist.
An anecdotal case can be made for them, in my opinion.
I think the stories of ARCHON wars etc are probably just made up.
But the basic premise of them existing and manipulating humanity
and sucking off our energy ... I think that could very well be true.
What are gnostic ARCHONS? As far as I can tell - My way of describing it is that, according to gnosticism, they are malevolent invisible entities that govern the material human world and stand between us and the God Who created everything. They manipulate events in human lives and human history to create negative emotions and negative energies, which they feed off of.
Some describe them as demons - I have the impression that they are more than just demons. Demons hate and try to usurp God's plans for humanity. They don't feed off our energy. Archons do feed off our energy. Archons DO try to stop humans from returning to the divine source when they die ... but Archons seem to be more powerful than regular demons. They can be considered lesser gods (small 'g' as opposed to the capital 'G' when talking about THE ONE Gods). Someone with greater knowledge of this can decern which they are ... just evil entities or if they are lesser gods.
Humans and demons and any other entity can change and become archons.
I have no idea how many archons there are supposed to be. I've read 7. I've read 12. I've read a number too large to count, like demons are too many to count. The gnostic teacher Basilides taught about a 'great archon' named Abraxas who has 365 archons below him. I don't know which is 'right'.
There are supposed to be celestial regions where people can escape to and in which the archons have no power. I'm not talking just about Heaven. I'm talking about actual physical locations in the universe that a soul/spirit/human can travel to. Also reaching gnosis makes a human out of reach for archons.
Archons in the bible - Some have interpreted the following texts to imply that there are archons, and not just Satan (the Devil). The Gospel of Matthew (4:8), the Gospel of Luke (4:6), the Gospel of John (12:31, 14:30, and 16:11) and 1 John (5:19). I disagree. I think that those are just Satan and that the ARCHONS are strictly in the gnostic texts.
Names of the known Archons - Yaldabaoth, Yao, Sabaoth, Adonaios, Astaphaios, Eliaios, Horaios, Seth, David. Pistis Sophia says the five leader Archons are - Paraplex, Hekate, Ariouth, Typhon, Lachtanabas.
Because of the connection in the Archon stories to astrology and astronomy, there is a thought that much of the gnostic Archon beliefs come from Babylonian religions and astrology.
That's all I know about ARCHONS. Others please jump in.
It would be great to know how to decern between Archon energy affecting
people and demonic energy .. or just plain negative human energy.
In my readings I can't find that.
My anecdotal case for Archons ... Look at the state of the world today and through history. Yes it could be that humans naturally tend toward the evil. Yes it could be that it's simply demonic energy manipulating humanity. But it seems bigger than that to me. Of course, I could be wrong, but look at life on earth ... even something as simple as eating food comes with negative energy ... the animals that we enslave and kill SUFFER so that we might live. And the animals that hunt each other .. all the killing and dying. It's really a messed up system (I call it the circle of death) designed to create fear and negative emotions for people who do the killing and the animals who do the dying.
