Archons and the Dissipation of Energy

Two paths of energy outflow, characteristic of the existence of any producer organisms, including humans, are initiated by different mechanisms.

Psychic energy, the “red light” or libido, is generated through active cognitive and creative mental work, and dissipates, is deconstructed and replaced by malus. Namely, in order for libido to be produced, the mind’s creative efforts are needed; and for it to dissipate — provoking influences from predators (above all, the Goetic gatekeepers).

Vital energy, tonic pneuma, is scooped up from the world ocean of potential simply by virtue of the creature’s “aliveness,” performing its vital functions, and dissipates as a result of an imbalance between physiological and psychic processes, an unstable emotional state, or the predominance of whims over desires — replaced by the energy of “existence,” hyle. That is, the predominance of the body over the psyche is the cause of energy outflows into the Interval.

Thus, it is clear that if, in order to “fall into” the trap of this or that destructor, this or that demon, one must act and err, then, in order to “supply” pneuma to the Interworld, simply living without full awareness.

And if demons, thus, always act as a force “external” in relation to the mind, then archontic influences are “stitched” into the body itself. This is precisely what the Gnostic texts mean when they say that the human being, in general, is created by the Archons: first the Higher (or Primary) Archons create “bodily souls,” that is, the “etheric” or “vital” foundations of the human being, and then, on that basis, the “lower” (“Secondary”) archontic forces create the physical body:

“And the powers began: the first, goodness, created the soul of the bone; the second, providence, created the soul of the sinews (nerves?); the third, divinity, created the soul of the flesh; the fourth, lordship, created the soul of the bone marrow; the fifth, kingship, created the soul of the blood; the sixth, jealousy, created the soul of the skin; the seventh, wisdom, created the soul of the (eye) eyelid. And a multitude of angels approached him (Ialdabaoth), and they received from the authorities seven psychic essences, in order to create concord of the limbs and concord of the organs and an ordered connection of each of the limbs.” (Apocryphon of John).

Behind it all is the Spirit, inspired by the Higher Father, not subject to the Archons, but deeply hidden within the material fetters they created.

In other words, as long as a human is a material creature (“hylic” in Gnostic terminology), they cannot avoid or reduce energy outflows controlled by the Archons, and only as they transition to “spiritual” self-identification (to the form of “psychics”) do they gain some control over their pneuma.

Accordingly, demonic invasion proceeds through several stages, culminating in turning a person not merely into a producer of libido, but into a source of libido dissipation by others; that is, the ultimate aim of demonic influence is not the “devouring” of a human being, but transforming them into a demon themselves, into a source of destruction and poisoning reality. At the same time, archontic influence — gemarmen — is ultimately aimed at the complete suppression of the human being’s will and autonomy and turning them into a passive generator of pneuma for the consumers in the Interval.

Thus, the final product of demonic invasion is a new demon, and the final result of gemarmen is a happy dreamer, a dreamer of their own worlds, receiving abundant bodily nourishment and emitting large amounts of low-level pneuma.

Accordingly, two main tasks confront a human being seeking to avoid these scenarios: on the one hand, to maintain high creative and productive mental activity, balanced by a sense of unity, compassion and empathy; and on the other — to maintain wakefulness, not confusing levels of virtuality and not replacing mental creativity with the construction of “castles in the air” and empty daydreams.
