The first time I met the Archons was playing StarCraft back in
the mid-90s. They were a caste of the powerful aliens with Psionic
powers known as the Protoss. The next time I met the Archons was a
decade later reading the Nag Hammadi library. I had swallowed a Red
Pill, and they were no longer aliens (unless you follow David Icke). The
Archons, I discovered and according to the ancient Gnostics, are the
ruling agents of the universe and brutal overlords of humanity.
Unlike other celestial villains, the Archons aren’t interested in
eternal damnation or overthrowing some good principle. These omnipotent,
thuggish beings are in charge, and that is it. Like traditional demons,
they seduce humanity, but the whole mechanism of the cosmos is one big
ass seduction meant to keep the holy part of humans unaware of a higher
destiny.
Thus, what the Archons want the most is status quo.
How did exactly do they seduce and keep us trapped in Maya? Keep the
factory going? One view is a unique but actually appropriate way any
modern person can relate to—to the point of sharing it loudly in a
support group. Let’s find out before they hear us.

First, who exactly are the Archons?
In a Dictionary of Gnosticism, Andrew Phillip Smith defines the Archons:In Gnostic systems, the archons are the numerousAlthough depicted as hermaphrodite creatures owning bestial faces,
assistance of the demiurge. They are usually responsible for the
creation of the human body, and specific archons are sometimes
considered to create or animate the various components (limbs, organs,
etc.) of the body. Planetary archons are also thought to rule over the
various spheres through which the soul may ascend. The archons have a
negative role, restraining the spiritual impulses of humanity and direct
human affairs for the Demiurge, being responsible for the flood the
destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the crucifixion of Jesus.
with an appetite for rape and brawling, the Archons are essentially a
mixture of heavenly administrators and hellish union goons. Their
greatest tool isn’t fear, however, but ignorance, the “Mother of All
Evil” according to the Gnostic Gospel of Philip. If humans
remain ignorant of their divine origins beyond the universe, the system
remains constant, and all is good for the Archons.
Except the system is, according to the Gnostics, a flawed construct. As Sam Kriss wrote in The Atlantic:
The physical universe was the creation of the demiurge,In this flawed system—this software—the archons are demented
Samael or Ialdaboath, sometimes figured as a snake with the head of a
lion, a blind and stupid god who creates his false world in imperfect
imitation of the real Creator. This world is a distorted mirror, an
image; in other words, a kind of software.
brogrammers, coding our fate, precisely every negative aspect of our
lives, inner and outer, that slowly broke our mental spine. They grant
us the counterfeit spirit. It sucks.

The method of the Archons
All of this brings us to the specific method the Archons likely use to keep us in abject ignorance, the opposite of liberating Gnosis.Bureaucracy. Really bad bureaucracy. The Archon nature of being the
bumbling administrators of the heavens is their greatest weapon. And “as
above, so below,” said the Gnostic Hermetics. While many faiths feel
that a celestial bureaucracy is fantastic, from the Pythagoreans to
Confucianism, the Gnostics—history’s great anarchists—contended it was
quite the opposite. The faulty “software” was, ironically, the perfect
mechanism to keep us trapped in, as Philip K Dick called the universe,
the Black Iron Prison.
It was death by a thousand regulations, death by a thousand frustrations.
In article for Gnostic Warrior I explain the reasoning:
In fact, in the novel Good Omens, written by TerryPonder this. I mean, as humans, we are basically prepared (especially
Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, a demon appropriately named Crowley proves
that the Archon-way is superior in the fight against Heaven. He
demonstrates that traffic jams and phone service outages are far more
efficient in damning souls than such common demonic methods as
possession or temptation. Death by a thousand frustrations is the best way to dim the human spirit.
if we go to church or watch enough Netflix) to deal with and overcome
life’s significant challenges, from a family death to a nearby war. In a
Gnostic sense, we share their essence with the Alien God, and thus
infinity is part of our vibe. It’s the little shit in life that seems to
get us. Imagine going through a day when:
- The car won’t start.
- You seem to catch every bloody red light.
- You need five departments at work to sign off on your order for print cartridges.
- The customer service representative of your cable company is oblivious after you spend an hour trying to connect.
Between bureaucracy and a faulty system, you can feel your soul
dimming, your mind numbing, and your heroic side perishing. You become
forgetful and anxious, a Stockholm Syndrome victim to a passive
aggressive kismet.
Think of the works of Franz Kafka. Think of Terri Gilliam’s Brazil.
Think of the next time you have a good idea at work. Think of
negotiating with the IRS, experiencing Microsoft updates (software!), or
family holiday parties where being comfortable numb is truly the
closest you feel to Heaven.
It’s not truly Heaven, but that’s the game the Archons play. Anyone
can get used to fire after a billion years in Hell. Anyone can get
comfortable with extinction in a Richard Dawkins paradigm. But not even
Buddha can handle the local DMV.
Like Lao-Tze said:
The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.In an Archon-ruled universe, we are all outlaws who don’t even know
it, sinking in ignorance by every Mercury retrograde and iPhone upgrade.
We are the frogs in the boiling waters of Lethe.

How do we fight the Archons?
We fight the Archons like the ancient Gnostics did: with knowledge,wisdom, and detachment. To be in the world and not of it, as Jesus
explains in the Gospel of John. Or as Paul says in Romans 12:
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.Don’t let them control your mind like some demented Protoss.
As Nicola Denzey Lewis in her book Gnosticism,
the Archons “transcend category, which in the thought-world of
antiquity, was not a good thing.” She also writes that they are neither
“divine nor clearly demonic.”
After arming ourselves with the right data to see beyond the
software, we must beat the Archons at their game by transcending human
categories, becoming neither divine nor clearly demonic, awaken the
essence of the Alien God that resides within us, sometimes known as the
Divine Spark.
The Gnostics utilized many rituals to achieve this, so your mileage
may vary. Ultimately, it’s about breaking fate, knowing that the Archons
truly own our body that we only rent at a high-interest rate and that
our thoughts can become free with the right information.
I think the Archons heard us! Look busy in line at the DMV.
