Aeons, Archons, Angels, or Aliens? A Gnostic Interpretation of Ancient Aliens Theory

Ancient alien theorists correctly identify many genuine mysteries. Where I differ is in the tendency to place every non-human intelligence into a single category.

Gnosticism offers a richer vocabulary.

Some encounters may involve Aeons.

Some may involve Archons.

Some may involve angels.

Some may involve extraterrestrials.

And above them all stands the Father, the Infinite Consciousness from which all reality ultimately emerges—what we Gnostics call the God Above All Gods.

The challenge is not deciding whether non-human intelligences exist. The challenge is learning how to tell them apart. That, perhaps, is the most important question of all.

    Human Nature–Gnostic Psychology

    The more we identify with the Fullness and our One Self, the less we identify with our Ego and our memes. The more we practice the values of the Fullness known as virtues, the less inclined we are to practice the values of the fallen Demiurge—the vices. And, ultimately, our release from all earthly karma and memes takes place as a gift given to us by the redeeming nature of the Christ, who frees our Self to return to its Aeonic home above once we stop holding onto all temptations that this realm presents to us.
