247: Angelic Contact Experience

And I feel like, and we discussed this what was it, I guess last episode because Revelation was a two part But the the night that we began to record the two part Revelation series, I was going to do this one and I decided, Nah, Revelation kind of time sensitive. My son is coming. We're now two weeks away from the do dates. I was like, let me slide this back.

But anyway, I've been meaning to talk about this for a while and it's very fascinating and I'm slowly working my way through the Nagamadi Codex and I'm just kind of picking up all these different texts along the way and finding how they fit into my life experiences and

what I'm learning in real time. So I wanted to Okay, so I'm sure you guys saw that we have new Patreon tiers now, which is super exciting for us because you know, as you know, doing this show is a labor of love, and it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort and a lot of energy. And for us, you know, it's like the the idea of a normal life was kind of robbed for me a long time ago, and this is the only thing that I find myself doing anymore that has any real value.

This in the you know, the Monroe's two things. So we're like, how do we how do we figure out a way to include an option for people to donate to support the project, and you come up with ways

to assign some sort of return value to that. So now we have new Tears, and going forward, we're going to begin to give special thanks to our executive producers at the Light being Tears, So starting with Derek Longoria, Chris Epperson, Brian Lynch, Dan Yelle Morgan, and then last but not least, our lovely individual who wishes to remain anonymous still and he instead wants a message to be shared, which is that no matter how far you've fallen in life,

no matter how much you've been abused, broken, beaten, down and just have wallowed and suffering. It's never too late for you to be deemed worthy of the love of God and to be saved from your conditions. So he wanted us to share his message to encourage you the listener to always try to seek a connection with the presence of God and to know that you are loved and that you are worthy always. And thank you very

much guys for helping support the show. And thank you to everybody who has helped us, who has followed us along the way, who has shared the message, who has continued to engage the algorithm, you know, and who has done anything like watched an episode, subscribe, liked literally anything. Thank you very much. And this is not about money, but we are in a weird place where we kind of have to figure that part out, So I'm just

being authentic. I'm just being very candid and very humble that we're grateful for anyone who was moved in any capacity to support us and what we're doing. So moving on, check out our instagram if you want to stay current with our events. You know, people are like, where do I find the SkyWatch schedule? Where do I find the

SkyWatch schedule? While I'm always saying always always. You probably notice, for like four or five months now, at the start of every episode or somewhere in the episode, maybe somewhere in the first twenty minutes, I'm you know, trying to get people to go to our instagram so that they can stay current with our schedules. So I am not being bombarded with hundreds of emails or direct messages asking me when skywatches are going to be. So check out

our instagram always for current events. Right now we have one that is scheduled, which brings me to my next point that I'll get to in a second. Contact modalities. Check out our website bletsosaid so dot com. And of course, as always, I've already kind of mentioned it the Patreon. That's the best way that you can support the show and help us to continue to do this. And literally at any level of support, even as much as just clicking like on YouTube, we appreciate every bit of it

and we don't take it for granted. Contact modalities, and Alex, I want you to kind of, you know, talk about this one today because you know, as I've been very open about, I'm not gonna be there and that does

Sadden me here. I am two weeks away from the birth of my son, which I'm very excited for, and I'm very very excited for April fifth, which to my estimation, will be days after his birth, where my son and I with our little Tony Tony chopper plushy toy that I have already bought from him, We are gonna sit there and we are going to watch One Piece return

to TV together. So while I'm at home enjoying this new life with my little mini me who has my wife's face, somewhere in those early days, Alex and my family are going to be going to this amazing conference known as Contact Modalities. Yeah. Absolutely.

me let me just get into Zostrianos. So admittedly, I'm gonna give a disclaimer here that usually when I read any sort of text that I talk about on the show, in my head, I'm sort of imagining that the listener, if I'm doing a well enough job, which I'm like, how could I know, I'm imagining that the listener would somewhat become intrigued enough to check it out for themselves and would be moved to read, to research them, to look into them. Because I am personally a big believer

in first hand sources. So if you want to learn about something, you need to go right to the source. Great, listen to me talk about it. That's wonderful. You may learn new stuff that you've never heard about. But ultimately, the best way to learn is to look at sources yourself with your own eyes. That's how I was trained

in college. You know, we were like required to go and look at certain first hand sources and then read books where authors are discussing them and talking about them in modern times, so you have to learn about the difference between like first hand sources and second sources. So in my head, I'm always like, I'm sure they're checking these out at home, right, Someone's got to be now. The disclaimer is this text that I'm going to talk

about tonight. Although it is profoundly interesting, I probably would not recommend it to my worst enemy. And it was a trudge to get through, and it is very repetitive, and when you google it it even speaks how out of the entire Nagamadi library, it is probably the most difficult one to get through, and of course I read that after I sat there for a few hours and read it today and again. It is very interesting and it's very valuable, and it's very important to the Gnostic cosmology.

But it's not exactly an interesting read. The material is interesting. It's like Lord of the Rings. And I know people will get upset about this. I love Lord of the Rings. I love the movies. I've seen them like a dozen times through every one of them since I was a kid. The book I've tried two or three times. Back when I was in high school. I was a big reader, dude. I would read books like that like days. I would consume seven hundred page books. Literally. One time I read

one in one sitting. It was Harry Potter seven and it took me twelve hours. I was the kind of kid where if you gave me a book that was interesting, I would just blow through it. And I tried to read through The Fellowship of the Rings or The Fellowship of the Ring three times and the Hobbit, and I just I never could commit. And of course that doesn't mean it's a bad book or it's anything like that. It's just the way that it was written was not

necessarily engaging. It didn't. It didn't keep me. It was very much over And this is just my opinion. I know there's a lot of people that'd be like boom, but a lot of people I do talk to who are diehard Lord of the Rings fans they say the same things. They're like, you know, watch the movies. The books are amazing. Read them, but that's for the super nerds. It's just the way it's written, right, the jargon. So

that's kind of the case with Ostriano's here. It's not a bad text, it's very important, but the way that it was written was so hard to commit to. This is probably the first time that I'm going to come out and be like, eh, let's just talk about this one.

I don't think you're going to be very like, ooh, this is riveting material when you're reading it, because it's just enormous, repetitious praises to ineffable beings and then little tiny bouts of exposition about the cosmology of the universe, and then it'll be like paragraphs and paragraphs of praise as of beings with a bunch of Greek names, and it's like, dude, if they slashed out all that and then just had all the combined parts talking about the

cosmology and the nature of the soul and the ineffable. They could have slashed like sixty percent of it and it would have been like, Oh my god, this is mind blowing, you know what I mean.

stuff like that. So, yeah, no doubt, And I'm gonna discuss that in the material because I did read it. I actually did trudge through the whole text. I down till like twenty minutes before Alex got here, I was reading it and trying to finish it, and I was just like, oh my god, I just fried my brain. It was so much of a mental obstacle to stay

focused on the text because of the jargon. But despite all that, it is amazing, and in the nature of what it is claiming, it is profound too, and I'm going to go into all that, but there are moments in the text that are very clearly speaking to the nature of the mysteries, and at one point it even mentions that. So we've discussed this before a long time ago, but in gnostic cosmology, particularly in Valentinian gnostic cosmology, but

tonight the text that we're discussing is Sethian. There were different schools of Gnostic thought in the day, just like today you have Baptists, you have Pentecostal, you have Methodists. It's the same concept. They were a group of people who had a similar idea, but they had like different little caveats on how they believed it, and they clung

to each other. And that's that. There's nothing more. So there are three versions of human incarnation in Gnostic cosmology, and then they have slightly slight disagreements in Valentinian and Gnostic I mean Sethi a gnosticism. So it's commonly known as the high licks, which are if you think of the NPCs of the world who have no measure of spiritual inclination or desire to connect to God or to

be good or righteous or anything. They're completely material, They're completely trapped in the ignorance of the illusion, and they are you know, degenerate, and they shown absolutely no outward signs of being intrigued by the mysteries or wanting to connect to a higher power. That is the high lix. They are basically seen as being dead inside, that they are completely a material incarnation with no essence of spirit, and that they belong to the physical world, and that

they are a part of the physical world. So that's the HIGHLYX. And then you have the psychics, which are people who are psychic literally psychic, and they are spiritual, but they are still not fully awakened, so they have the disposition to maybe they're connected to mainstream religions. Maybe they And again this is Gnostic thought. This isn't me

making this up. This is several thousand year old writings, right, but maybe they're connected to mainstream religions and they still have attachment to the world, and they don't fully see through the illusion, but they are to a degree awakened, and they have psychic ability, and they have a soul. And then there are the pneumatics, which is the Greek word numa, which is soul, and they are like the fully realized or the fully awakened, or as the Seth.

The Agnostics believed it was the descendants of Seth, who in biblical terms, was the son of Adam and Eve. After Cain enable you know, able to slaughter, and then Cain wanders. You know that story, right, He gets the the curse mark of God on his head and you know, you get the whole avenged sevenfold if any being would harm him, and his wrath is to roam the earth and terror and he can't die. That that whole story. So then after that thing happens with Canaan Abele Adam,

and you have another son named Seth. So the Sethian Gnostics believed that they were the descendants of Seth, and that the divine revelation of these mysteries of God before Jesus Christ incarnated. They believe that an angel of revelation appeared to Seth, or even rather actually appeared to Adam and revealed to him the mysteries of his son in the lineage of his son Seth, and how they would

go on to be connected to Christ somehow. I haven't read all the Sethian text, but it's it's interesting anyway. So back to the pneumatics. So the pneumatics were believed to be the fully awakened and Sethian versions. They believe they're the descendants of Seth, and that they are fully realized spirit, and that they completely see through the illusion of the physical world, and that they reduce their attachments,

and that they are at their will. When they are ready, they can fully awaken, be on the physical world and no longer incarnate here. So that's the pneumatics. This whole soliloquy was about. At some point in the text, it refers to the awakened ones as neophytes of the mysteries, and if you know anything about that terminology, a neophyte

is a candidate to receive the mysteries. So we're talking about a Sethian Christian gnostic text written in the two hundreds a d. That we know because of the writings of Platonists and Porphyry, that it was somehow this school of thought, the Sethian Gnostics were connected to the modern at the time Neoplatonists, who were the you know, Plato

lived four hundred years BC. For years and years and years, there was still mystery schools and wisdom schools devoted to maintaining the teachings of Plato, and they were called the Neoplatonists. And we know because of these historical writers that the Neoplatonists and that the Gnostics in many cases were friends, and that they influenced each other. And what do we

know about Plato? That he was an initiative of the mysteries which came from where Egypt, which, by the way, the author of this text Zostrianos, which is written in the first person, and it is from the man himself describing his mystical is sent through the heavenly realms up to the highest aon of the lady, which in this text is referred to as Barbello, the first emanated one.

That Zostrianos even indicates that there may this is a big deal, that there may be a direct line of succession of his ancestry all the way back to Zoroaster. So we have an actual historical text here that is connecting so many different traditions at once. It's connecting the Greeks, it's connecting the Egyptians, it's connecting the Zoroastrian magi, and it's connecting the Christian sethi Agnostics. So that is a big deal because a modern day Remember what I say,

the text is important, but it's boring to read. But that doesn't mean it's not important. Right, leave this one to the scholars read it. I'm not I'm never gonna say like, don't read this. I'm just telling you it'll probably bore you. You know, I'm kind of like being tongue in cheek. But check it out if you're curious. But you know, there's a lot to glean from the importance of this text because it opens the door to

the connection of all these mysteries. Whereas in the modern world we're supposed to believe they're separate because we're taught that they're separate. We're taught that Christianity has nothing to do with these and that they're pagan. But that's not the case, and that in this day and time there were people connected to genuine Christian schools of thought before they were ruled as heresy in the three hundreds and then brutally suppressed and killed, and they had to hide

their texts in non commodity Egypt. And here we are today talking about it like it's such a mystery. But in the day they were genuine Christian schools of thoughts.

So for them to even use a word such as neophyte in a text that is connected to a group of individuals who are maintaining teachings of Jesus Christ and the biblical tradition, to use a word such as neophyte, there's a lot of questions that unfold because neophyte, you know, for example, where can you find a neophyte in the Rosicrucian tradition when you go through the first degree, not degree of initiation, but that when you profess that you

seek to become a Rosicrucian, you become I'm pretty sure that first title that you receive is neophyte. And this this word, this methodology of becoming a neo as someone who is seeking to become initiated into the inner mysteries and thus having to prove candidacy to receive the mysteries. You see what I'm saying. So you asked, is it a barrier and is an initiatic text? Yes, it is

an initiatic text. And you could be right. It could be having all of this dialogue about praises to the higher beings and all these random Greek names that you've

never heard of. It could be that, or it could be that, you know, to the ancient thinker who's connected to these schools of thought, that if you read between the lines that they're they are showing you a level of ineffable cosmology through going through orders of magnitude, describing beings, saying things such as, you know, the invisible one, the triple powered one, the immaterial one, and so on and

so forth. So they're creating an image in the mind of the reader of a cosmology and scale of being that is ineffable and undescribable that can only be understood through the assay of the soul from the body through

these spiritual realms. So hopefully you could kind of see why I would want to talk about this text so badly, even though it was a trudge to read, you know, So Zostrianos when you read like the scholarly interpretations of the text is claimed to be, as I said before, a descendant of either Zoroaster or a descendant of like the grandfather of Zoroaster, whatever that means, right, And Zostrianos hisself is a Greek word for a Persian name. So the point of this text is Zostrianos is essentially out

in the desert. He is destitute, he's alone, he's suffering, and he's trapped by his vices of the physical world, and he has not received the spiritual mysteries or the baptism of the light. So he wants to kill himself. Actually, he's on the verge of killing himself, and then an angel appears to him. And actually I had highlighted the quote.

I'm pretty sure where it appeared to him. I highlighted a ton of quotes from this book, because you know, if you slashed out about sixty percent of it, there was some really interesting material here.

and your meditative practice has to suffer. That's why I'm so excited to tell you about the brand new offering from the Monroe Institute. If you go to Monroe Institute dot org, you can access the Gateway Voyage online and this is the complete Gateway program guided by Bob Monroe that you can take in the comfort of your own home, at your own pace, and when you graduate, you get the certificate that everybody else that's been through Gateway gets.

This is absolutely incredible because now your time is in your hands when it comes to the Monroe Institute. So if you go to the Monroe Institute dot org again that's Monroe Institute dot org and use code b SS at checkout, you get an additional discount Monroe Institute dot

So in the beginning, it speaks with It starts with Zostrianos describing how he's destitute and on the verge of killing himself, and then an angel of revelation appears to him the Book of the Glory of the eternally living words that I Zostrianos wrote and Yolaos. When I came into the world for the sake of those of my generation and those after me, the living elect, the God of truth lives in very

truth and the knowledge and eternal light. After I mentally abandon my inner corporeal darkness, psychical chaos, and dark lustful femininity with which I was unconcerned, and after I had discovered the boundlessness of my materialism and reproved the dead creation within me as well as the perceptible divine world ruler, I powerfully proclaimed wholeness to those with unrelated parts. Although I had tried their ways for a little while, in so far as the necessity of birth brought me visibility,

I was never satisfied with them. Instead, I always used to separate myself from them, because I had come into being through a holy although procreative birth. When I had improved my sinless soul, then I strengthened the intellectual spirit within me, and I was able to awaken from the dark sleep and find my paternal God. Although I had worked on this. In every way, I was strengthened by

a holy spirit higher than God. It settled upon me alone as I was improving myself, and I saw the Perfect Child who he is as well as what he possesses.

He often and variously appeared to me like a consenting unity, while I was seeking the male Father of all things, things that are conceptual and sensible, specific and generic, partial and whole, containing and contained, corporeal and incorporeal, essential and material and matters pertaining to all these, and the existence that is combined with them, and with the God of this perfect Child, the unengendered calyptos, the power in them all.

So it has a ton of you know, Greek words that you've probably never heard of, describing ineffable beings that exist in higher levels of reality known as the AONs. And also it's important to know in this context when he says things like masculine, fine, feminine, what he's talking

about is spiritual orders. So like, if you think of the myth of Sophia, how we talked about this in the Pista Sophia, she looks up and she believes that she sees the light of the Highest God, but in reality, she was looking down and she became ensnared by the

false light of the arrogant one. In this context, the femininity is referring to the archetype of being trapped in the material and then in this this body of work, when they say masculine, what they mean is like the intellect, the higher intellect of having the knowledge of gnosis, the nosis of you know, understanding the higher worlds. So when he says things like I'm you know, my femininity, he's talking about how he's trapped in the material form and he hasn't awakened his higher intellect.

You think of the logos and the sophia or knowledge and wisdom. So the masculine is like achieving the intellect of the paternal God, the mind that has awakened its faculties. Right, so you have knowledge and wisdom. So in text like the Gospel of Thomas, where Jesus is speaking to his disciples of how to awaken, he says, you make the two to one. You must become masculine and feminine. You must make the two to one. You must have knowledge

and wisdom. So that context is important here. So throughout the text, this angel appears to him and then it takes him on an ascension journey through the different realms in what is known as illuminary, and it leaves angels behind to guard his physical body as his soul is pulled out of his physical form by this angel and takes him on this luminous cloud up through the higher realms, all the way up to the Barbello, who which is

very cool. At the end of the text, it goes out of the way to speak of her as the first emanated form. So when you think about like the lady, the Barbello is another. So you have the sophia. But then you have another word for the lady, which is Barbello, and it's describing her as the mother of all, the mother of all universes, who is a truly real, existing, imminent being. That's what it describes in this text. He's like,

and she's actually real. He kind of goes out of the way to distinguish that that she's actually real, whereas all these other ones, it's like, are they just concepts? Is it esoteric? You know, allegorical concepts to try to personify the nature of reality. But he makes a point at the end of the text to say the Barbelo is real and she and she is a manifest being, that she's the first manifest being from the mind of the invisible spirit. Right, So that's very interesting. People are like,

how are the lady and religion or Jesus connected? Well, I mean it's right here. It's all right here in the Gnostic system. And even the Catholics, they say, Mary, they took this concept that we have to use our lens here and think about history. Do we want to always just be good sheep and believe the power that it be? No, I don't. I am curious and I want to look for myself and I want to explore all of these mysteries and use not only my mind but my heart to decide for myself what I know

and believe to be real. I don't need people in power to tell me what I'm allowed to think, and what I'm allowed to read, and what I'm allowed to believe. So if we study history and you look at things like the Holy Bible and its sixty six texts, I'm

not saying they're fake. But then if you look at you know, things like the Naghammadi Library, and you look at the history of them, you can come to the understanding that these other texts speaking of Jesus, although shockingly they may not agree with the doctrine that the Powers that b gave you, they are just as historically genuine as the ones that the Powers that be gave you. So there are two narratives of and I'm trying to make this as simple as possible, there are two narratives

of Jesus that exist. There is this historical movement, the Gnostics that we know for a fact they were brutally killed and oppressed by the Church, the same church that killed Jesus and slaughtered his people for three hundred years. So we have this version here the speaking of you know, this lady and the soul going on ascension journey through the higher realms and eventually becoming one with God and dissolving into the original you know, all this really cool

mystical stuff. And then we have the version that the authorities gave us, which is like, by the way, you look at that other version, we're gonna kill you back then we will kill you if you look at the other version. You only believe this version, So pay up, you know what I mean. So that's kind of where I'm at. I want to look at the mysteries for myself,

and I encourage everyone to do so. And just because this powerful, multi trillion dollar institution that's two thousand years old tells us we have to believe in, you know, religion and Jesus in the Bible a certain way, doesn't mean that this other way doesn't exist and isn't a real part of history a very well, probably have been the actual original tradition, probably was the original tradition. So

anyway back to it. So he says, there stood before me the Angel of the Knowledge of eternal Light, and he said to me, Zostrianos, why have you gone mad? As if you were ignorant of the great eternal beings who are above. Don't you know that you are a chosen person, and therefore you were informed about what you are to do, so that you might now be saved. Never ever become destructive, nor pay attention to those you are familiar with, in order to save others whom the

Father on High will choose. Do you suppose that you are the father of your kind or that Eulaus is your father? You have a divine angel that has shown you the way. Through holy persons come and transcend these realms. You will return to them another time to proclaim a living race, to save those who are worthy, and to empower the chosen. For great is the struggle of this age,

But the time in this world is short. When he had said this to me, I very eagerly and gladly embarked with him upon a great luminous cloud, and left my molded bodily form upon the earth. Guarded by glories, we eluded the entire world and the thirteen AONs in it, as well as their angelic host. We were not seen, but their chief was disturbed at our passage, since our luminous cloud a substance superior to everything in the cosmos, was ineffable, which means you can't comprehend it with the

human mind. Its beauty shone brightly. It has an ability to guide pure spirits, since it is a vitalizing spirit and an intelligent reason, not like those things in the world that are made of pliable matter and persuasive reason. Then I knew that my inner power had overcome the darkness because it contained total light. I was baptized there and receive the images of the glories there and became like one of them. So a luminous being, an angel of the eternal light, comes to him and says, come

with me. I want to take you on a journey to Heaven through the higher realm, so that you can see the mysteries for yourself, and that you can wake up an aluminous cloud, well, an orb, because we know from the ancient texts that cloud was in this context referring to off funding, which is a race of angelic being. Right, so we could we could. It could be a stretch, but you know, I like the stretch. It feels really good.

We could an envision that an orb, a divine angelic being gently pulls his soul out of his body, like has happened to me, like has happened to my father and many people in this world today. This is not an untouchable phenomenon. That's why I wanted to talk about this episode. So in my head, when I hear aluminous cloud, you know it takes you on this journey, I think an ORB, right, I mean it's on my hat it says orbs. I'm all about him, you know. So I'm

just gonna assume it was an ORB. And if you have a problem with that, you know, you go come

up with your own assumption about what it means. So an ORB pulls his soul out of his body and takes him through the higher worlds and baptizes him in the mysteries at every level, and the arcontic beings who it even talks about, how he passes through the atmospheric realm, going beyond the planets and then leaving the boundary of the physical world and into the spirit world, and at every level is he goes through these higher gates of being,

the arcontic entities there cannot perceive him because his light is ineffable from this angelic being of eternal light and truth who is bringing him on this sensionary journey. That brings me to another concept, something that I think is very profound, and it's what Rudolph Steiner called the guardian of the Threshele. And that's probably the real reason I wanted to talk about this episode because of the ascent from the soul from the body through higher worlds, but

also the guardian of the threshold. So in the Egyptian Book of the Dead they speak of this, that when you die. But as we know, consciousness is immortal and it is eternal, so there are many levels of transitory states of being. Whether your physical body is still alive and the heart is still beating or not, your consciousness can go to higher worlds. I've seen it myself, experienced

it even so in Okay. So in the state of death, the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Tibetan Book of the Dead speak of a similar thing, which is that once you leave the body and you enter the realm of the dead, that there are challenges that present themselves to you in the form of gods and entities, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead it's more literal.

In the sense that they say that the gods actually oppose you, or if you were good and if you were holy, that you know it's angelic beings that guide you because you in their myth, you have the idea

of the heart being weighed against the feather. And then you either go to the field of reads and you move on to heaven and you stop this eternal cycle of life and death, or if you were evil, demonic entities stand guard at the gates of the higher realities to prevent you from moving forward, and then it starts

over again and you come back to Earth. We did a whole episode on the Tibetan Book of the Dead Egyptian one pending because I have a guy who was actually supposed to be here tonight but we've had to delay it. He's a good friend of mine and he's literally one of the world's most profound experts on Egypt. So we're going to do a longer discussion about Egypt later.

But when you read the Egyptian Book of the Dead, you know it says all that about the beings trying to to prevent you from going to higher world, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, they're projections of your mind, of your karma. So if you were a negative person on earth, from the guilt and from the layers deep in your psyche, you're gonna project demonic beings to challenge you.

And at every one of these levels of being and these layers of Bardo, you're supposed to awaken or in the West and gnostic thought, we would say gnosis because that's the Greek word for the awakened or the illumined. Nosis in the specific context refers to a type of knowledge that is illuminating. If you think of the word love, they always say, well, love has four meanings. You have like I don't know all the Greek words, but it's like agape love of God. And then there's something like

philos and you know there's four words. I'm not a Greek speaker, but they always say there's the four meanings of love, and it's the love from God, the love romantically, the love from a friend, and then there's another love. Alice's point at me about the love from a friend or romantically. I'm not sure which one you were pointing at about. So g nosis with that in mind, how Greek has very specific meanings of certain words and they're

indistinguishable that they mean that exact thing. Nosis means a kind of illuminating knowledge, that is like a profound epiphany, that you are essentially awakened to reality, to the higher wisdom. So in this context, as you're traversing through the higher worlds, you are systematically being baptized. In the mysteries and the Sethian version of gnosism gnostissism, there there are five baptisms. But as we talked about in the Pisto Sophia, which is not a Sethian text, and by the way, I

do recommend that one. It's extremely interesting. I think everybody should read. Pisto Sophia is profound. Yes it's long, but it's worth every second and it's not boring whatsoever. And I believe it will it will stimulate something within the higher faculties of the reader as it was designed. In that text, it speaks of the thirteen repentances and the baptisms of the twenty four mysteries, right, and then that each higher mystery, one being the highest being the ineffable God,

and then the lowest being twenty four. But also the first is the last because it's an eternal self repeating cycle. The first is the last, the alpha and the omega, for I'm the beginning in the end, right, But the first mystery being the highest level, and if you go straight there then you don't need the other mysteries. It's the highest level of raising the light of your soul, or you could be initiated into a lower mystery, which you know, what are these mysteries in this context, they

are repentances. They are you reaching levels of realization saying, ah, man, I feel really bad that I told my neighbor to go f himself when he knocked on my door and asked for sugar. I shouldn't have done that. In fact, you know what, I shouldn't do that anymore. Period. You know what I mean. That is repentance. That is having a level of epiphany where you realize something you're doing is wrong and you shed that behavior from your being.

So in this context of purification of the soul and being baptized in the higher mysteries, it's like your consciousness blooming from its crude state being an animal existing in material reality, where that you could say, rose like a resecrusion thought or lotus in the east or the flower in the Toll Tech Mexico, that flower blooms, which is your consciousness from the center of your being, and many more psychic layers of understanding of the higher mysteries unfold,

where you become more heart centered, more loving, more kind, more peaceful. This is what happens as you go through this purification process and receive these higher mysteries, and as it speaks about in the Way of Initiation by Rudolph Steiner, a profound text also highly recommend. You can listen to it on YouTube for free. It's like two hours. It's

very short. You know. It speaks multiple times about how the doorway to the secret Temple of Knowledge is only opened when you begin the first level of purification, which is to begin to be aware of your thoughts and the thoughts that you send towards other people. Are they harsh? Are they mean? Are they critical and judgmental? Well, you're not ready, then you're not ready for the higher mysteries.

And it goes over and over to talk about how the highest level of magic, I'm kind of paraphrasing the whole crux of the text, but the highest level of magic is mental. So how can God give you magical power, which is the ability to exert influence on the world with your thoughts. How could you be entrusted with the highest power of the mysteries If you can't even be aware of and policing your own thoughts, you don't deserve it. So it's like Thor wielding the hammer. Right, Thor can

wield the hammer because he's worthy, because he's pure. But could you imagine if like the whole wield that hammer, it'd be the end of the world. Or if you know, God forbid, like Loki or anyone else for that matter, doctor Doom, anyone, if literally anyone could pull Excalibur from the stone, they could be king. And what if they're not pure? What if they're evil? So that's kind of the point of the mysteries, Like you have to be worthy of the mysteries, but that starts here in your thoughts.

So you begin the process of purification, which is what neophytes are entrusted to participate in, which is the inner purification of the soul. So they would do things like swear vows of silence, or they would do ritual fasting and purification, things of that nature. Because in these times when the ancients were literally pursuing the mysteries. They were

preparing themselves for what eventually. This text Zostrianos is what would kind of considered be like the final level, which is when you work through all of these mystery schools and you get to the bottom of it and you realize that it's about purifying your soul and living from the heart and being Christ like that, the final level of initiation is angelic contact. The ancient Templar Knights, the Rosicrucians,

even Freemasonry has elements of this. They have of course, I couldn't forget the biggest one Christianity the Bible, where Jesus has transfigured on the mountain, or like the apostle Paul for example. You know he speaks of Christ appearing as a flash of white light and speaking to him on the road to Damascus and making him go I think it made him blind. Is either blind or he

was mute. I'm pretty sure he's blind. And then you know so many examples in the Bible of angels appearing to being So this isn't this is not just a secret thing, This is universal truth of the human condition.

This is unavoidable. That the final level of opening your heart to receive the mysteries is what in ancient times they called hec a lot mysticism or merkaba mysticism, which is the actual ascent of the soul through heavenly realms, through angelic contact thrones ofanine saraphine cherubim literal the ancients Zostrianos, for example, Which is why I wanted to talk about this.

These beings the I mean, these people were telling you that when they received the mysteries that it was through angelic contact orbs, beings of light, ascended entities from other realities, which they all agree. The ladies, the boss, she's the queen, she's the mother, and she's real too. That's what it says in this text.

someone who believes in Jesus. It's kind of my that's kind of my thought. Okay, well that's one answer, But then another answer maybe, oh, I don't know a Methodist, a Baptist, a Catholic.

have don't I'm not very well versed in Catholic. You have all these Catholic sects, every single one of them individually is like, we're true, but they're cool too. They're they're you know, kind of on the same stream as us, but they have different ideas about it. It was no different back in this day.

point with this. But yeah, so I thought this text was important enough to talk about, like you said, as basically he was abducted by an angel and his soul was removed from his body guarded on earth. And you know, that's kind of like it reminds me of the Cape fit River when my dad and my brother were having their experience. My dad physically gone and then my brother had these little luminous beings watching a rim. That's exactly Yeah, that's exactly what I thought of when you described the

angels staying to watch over the physical body. Yeah, my first thought for your brother. And they told that to my dad, they said, we're watching him. And then there were other times they've told my dad things like, we can take your soul out of your body and we can bring you on a journey wherever we want you to go, and your wife and children will think that you're asleep right there on the couch and you're with

us in the spirit world. So they've told him that the beings when they took him in oh seven, they've told him all kinds of things like that. So I know that this is real and I've experienced this, and I had experienced three nights ago that freaked me out, and not that it was scary or evil, but it raised the bar for what I thought that I was able to experience. So, you know, I have a lot

of friends from a lot of places. I know people who are from like nearly every background, really Eastern Mysticism, I know Freemasons, I know Rosicrucians, I know uh, Templar Knights. I know I've met people connected to Hermetic Dawn. Not that I still talk to them, but I'm just saying I've met you name it, someone has reached out to me. People who are Tibetan Buddhists, people who are everything really And I have a really good friend a few of

them really who are Templar Knights. And of course I'm just asking questions. I'm trying to, you know, learn more about that and pick up methodologies that could help me in my practice, because especially, you know, I think that becoming someone who is in pursuit of truth means that you are in search of what is real, and you

know that that includes a lot of things. That includes things that are Christian, that includes things that are Buddhists, that includes things that are Catholic, that includes things that are whatever. There's elements of truth and so many different systems that you can It's kind of like a science or as Rudolph Steiner called the occult science. It's like, you know, going through and you're finding what truly works. And as you know with being a scientist, it's Okham's razor, right.

You want to reduce things to make it the most simple. To get results, and to be effective, you need to make any process as simple as possible. So, long story short, I'm talking to the templars. I'm like, you know, what can I do to up my game? And obviously you too, you're a part of those conversations, and they're like prayer meditation every day minimum five minutes. You don't know what to pray? Pray the rosary. I'm like, well, what's the rosary?

I'm not Catholic. It's the Lord's prayer. Oh okay. So I did the math and I realized that, and I know there's caveats to that, but I don't know all the specific Catholic caveats like the Ave Maria and the Three Mysteries and all that. I just don't know all that, So I'd stick with what I know, and that's the Lord's Prayer because that's a Protestant thing too, And I used to say it once a night as a kid,

So it's kind of nostalgic to me. So he's explaining to me that there's a memetic precedence to this that you know, you have to imagine that there are billions of souls who have kind of like juiced this prayer through reciting the words of it in all these various languages, but also reinforcing it through belief. So you're like, if you think of all these belief systems as a cloud, like you think of like Wi Fi, like there's cloud storage.

Prayers are like a cloud storage of divine energy. So I think we talked about this in an episode recently, but it's like, you know, the the idea of you know, opening the psychic aperture in the mind and then achieving coherence of the mind and the heart and then maintaining that state daily. So like minimum five minutes a day of prayer meditation, Okay, cool. So I've started doing the Lord's Prayer every day and then Alex made me a rosary.

I'm like, oh, this is really cool, but it's not stretchy. I can't wear it. So I'm like, well, this is a decoration piece. I should bring it up into the studio. Actually, it's on my computer desk. So Alex inspired me. I'm like, well, I want to make a rosary then, because I got, you know, really fascinated about it and wearing it is a reminder as how it was explained to me. So I made my own rosary, this little bracelet rosary with

a charm of a Catholic medal of the Lady. And but the night before I made it, I had a dream and in that dream, I was wearing an angelic medallion, which I actually have. I've purchased an actual medallion that has the name of all of the seven classical archangels and Hebrew. So it's like a a metal little coin basically or medallion that has the names of these archangels, and you're supposed to wear it to you know, invoke

the angels. So I don't really wear it because I'm not big on jewelry, and to me, it's like clamp Clasping it over and over is annoying to me, so I keep it by my bed. So the day before I made my rosary, I had a dream that I was wearing that medallion and I had to take it off because it was burning me, not because I was evil, or it was evil, but in my dream specifically, it was burning me because there was so much power from it. There was so much angelic energy that I couldn't even

handle it. I had to I had to remove it because my flesh in my dream was being burned red, so I couldn't I couldn't handle the power. So then I woke up and that morning, it was a Saturday, I started making my rosary. I'm like, dang, that dream is bire me. I noticed about this rosary. So I made my little rosary and it was kind ofative, and I made my rosary. I've been wearing it every day. So I started praying one decade of the rosary, which was five minutes a day of you know, the Lord's

prayer for me, my practice. But what I've been doing because I'm like the State, well that's easy. I'm like, I'm monrostitute guy. I've been there many times. I'm a trainer with them, an outreach trainer, and I'm very like well versed in their system and have done graduate level programs even and I'm a big believer in their work. So I'm like, so you're telling me the psychic aperture is opened within the brain by synchronizing the hemispheres. Easy.

I've been taught how to do that just by thinking a certain thought. All right, cool. So what I started doing was going into focus fifteen at night as I'm laying in bed and doing the Rosary in the focus fifteen state. Now, of course, the ancients, like the Templar Knights, are people of the Egyptian Mysteries or the Grecian Mysteries

or Tibetan Buddhists. They have certain kinesthetic anchors such as mudras and things, and certain mental imaging practices to achieve the hemispheric synchronization without headphones and modern time, because they didn't have that back then. So they had all kinds of of kinesthetic anchors and mudras and and uh spiritual

technologies and modalities to achieve the same effect. I've come to realize from talking to them that there's a huge correlation between what the Monrostitute figured out spontaneously through through Robert Monroe's incredible you know vision and experiences, and what the ancients were doing. It's it's one and the same.

And if you guys are really paying attention and you've heard every episode, you know that a year ago I had on Alan Evans, the CEO of the Monrositute, a wonderful human being, and she's a friend of mine and we still regularly stay in touch. It was texting her today even and I told her about this. I told her that when I was at the Monrostitute two years ago for the first time, I had an out of body experience where I was in ancient Egypt and I was inside of a temple. It might have been a pyramid,

I don't know. I was inside of a temple and I was in a sarcophagus and I was doing the hand placement of Osiris. But it wasn't for death. I wasn't being killed or anything like that. I wasn't being buried. It was a ritual and at the foot of the

sarcophagus was a being of light standing there. And in this outer body experience where I was living in this past life, there was a second level of information above me, where it was my modern mind watching this unfold receiving information while I was also first hand seeing it through my eyes that I was in this coffin past life. So it was like I was bilocating and my modern mind was there watching, but I was also presently inside the body of this person. It's very complicated to unless

you've experienced it. It's going to sound like what is he talking about? But I was there and this being was speaking to me, and it was giving me knowledge, but I didn't hear it. What I heard was that second me above the modern me, receiving the information that what I was doing right now in the Monroe Institute going out of my body was the same as what

I was doing. Not only me, but the ancients were doing in the ancient past and the mystery schools that they were achieving out of body travel and all kinds of things to receive the mysteries. There was a connection between what the ancients were doing and that what they

were doing at the Minrostitute. That more or less was explained to me that the Monrostitute today is like like if you think of how stalagmites and stalagtites are in caves and they just kind of spawn into being from the cave, that you think of the cave as the mystery, and you think of all these different what is the mystery? It's God, It's the soul is immortal, and that it comes from another place, another world, and that we can leave it at will if we want to. You know,

it's a whole bunch of things. The mystery is enormous, but it's one thing, right, So if we think of the mystery or God the truth as this cave, you have stuff like the Rosicrucians, Christianity, Hermeticism. It's another one I forgot to mention earlier, Templar Knights, Gnosticism, the Esscenes that they're a pewte of Egypt, the Celtic Druids, the

Brahmins of India, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I don't know if I already said the scenes, but these are all stalagmites and stalagtites in this cave of mysteries. They're all just offshoots from the original thing emerging into physical being as a part of this one thing. But they're all connected to this one thing. And I just made that whole cave. You know. Stlag might think up

right now. But what came to me in the vision was that that's what Monroe's student is, that it was like a modern emergence from the spiritual world into the physical world in modern times with the scientific method of the West in technology that it's all one thing. It's not about having a religious dogma, but it's about being

connected to the truth. To it's about experiencing truth, which is that our consciousness is immortal and eternal and it could travel worlds by thought if you know the right techniques, which is synchronizing the hemispheres of the brain. So what's even more mind blowing to this is a few months ago my friend who is a templar, and I told me that when you have your hands on each shoulder like they show you with Osirius, that it is a mudra.

It's a secret mudra to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain. So I didn't know that two years ago, and I had that out of body experience and the information was being revealed to me that what I was doing now in my check unit at the Monroe'situte was the same as what I was doing then in ancient Egypt leaving I wasn't actually leaving the body. A being was speaking to me, a being of light, but I was connected

across time and space. This was a real life of mine in the past, and what I was doing currently we connected in consciousness and in thought and became aware of each other, and there was a being of light present, a luminous being, you know what I mean. I didn't know then that it was a hemispheric synchronization technique to have the hands on each shoulder, so I added another layer of complexity to this that just blew my mind. So my friend's telling me preymeditate every day going to

that psychic aperture state. He's never done the Monroe things. So I'm like, oh, okay, I know what you mean. So I did my Focus fifteen and I do my Lord's prayer, So I combine the two and I've been doing them daily, and weird things are starting to happen because I'm doing them before I go to sleep. I know that was a long winded exposition, but now I'm going to tell you what happened to me the other night. So as I've been doing this, I'm starting to realize.

At first I could do all ten Lords' prayers. I can't anymore without fail. Now after doing this for like a solid month or two straight every night, and I can't go to sleep anymore unless I do it. There's been one night that I went to sleep and it's because I stayed up till four in the morning with a friend who was in town, and I was too tired of I'll do tomorrow. Otherwise, if I don't start this process, when I lay on the pillow, I cannot go to sleep. It has become cemented into my being.

What has started to happen is round about like the third one. He told me that beginning to say this prayer and reinforcing this memetic precedent is going to establish, or rather it's going to anchor this psychic state to

the prayer. So not only are you associating with this actual prayer of the Rosary to this psychic state, but you're also sort of tapping into that spiritual cloud of information from all of this Christian prayer and temple our prayer and Catholic prayer, from thousands of years of billions of souls charging this energy. So it's it's a multiple

layer benefit to this. So I've started to notice that round about the third or the fourth time I say the Lord's Prayer, my mind begins to fade away, and I begin to lose perception of that moment and drift to other places, like I'm in between being awaken of sleep, but I'm not fully asleep because and the more I'm doing it, I'm getting like it's it's starting to become so seamless that like some of those things would I would know that they were a vision, they're like, oh,

I'm not a body, or you know, like if you're really well versed in the monrostitute experience, you know, if you've like clicked out, or if you've more or less had a lapse in consciousness but you're not asleep, that has occurred. But it's getting to a point now to where the transition into these experiences has become so seamless that it's like being awake in a dream fully and you don't know that you're you don't know the difference

between awaken asleep. So it's progressed to where three nights ago, I'm laying there saying the prayer, and then all of a sudden, it was like I started levitating on the bed. I know this sounds weird, but following me, I started levitating on the bed, and then a light shone down onto me. It was like an orb appeared and it shined into my third eye, and then all I could see was light, and I was being surrounded by light, and there was a being of light standing by me.

Like I'm on my bed, on the left side of my bed and there's a being standing there. And I've begun levitating and I'm like, oh my god, something's happening. And I just kept saying Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, like, you know, kind of guide me through this. And the it was like I woke up and I was back in the bed and I'm freaking out, and I'm like, that wasn't real. It was so seamless that I thought it was really happening. It wasn't a dream. It was so completely lucid and so like, oh my god, I

really thought that was happening. And I even touched my wife's hands she's right beside me, and she twitched and I'm like, okay, I'm I'm not this isn't a dream. Like but I didn't really just do that either. I'm just that was like a vision, but it felt so real. I was frightened as if it was really happening. There was you know, you can tell a dream and when you're awake, and there was no boundary here. It was

so seamless, as if it just really happened. It was like, you know what you see in a movie, like like a false awakening experience of a lucid dream where you think you woke up, but then you're really you're in a dream, and they call that false awakening and lucid dreams where you keep having this series of oh, I'm awake, now, oh crap, I'm not awake. It was like that, you know.

And then I'm talking to me and Alex are talking to a friend last night, the guy that we shouted out at the beginning of the show, and it was, you know, anonymous. He didn't want his name shared, and I told him that story and he was like, well, it sounds like your soul left your body. And I was so spooked by the initial experience I didn't even consider that. I just considered, oh my god. I couldn't tell if it was real or not real. But then it was like, wait a minute, Yeah, I guess my

soul was raising out of my body. That's what may have been happening that Maybe I don't know, because I saw. What I saw was like there was a light that was shining on my third eye. It was like light was consuming my vision. But I could see out of the corner of my I guess you could say my soul's eye, that there was a being standing there, but I wasn't looking at it. I was looking up and there was a light shining down on my third eye, and I was lifting and lifting and lifting and raising

towards the ceiling. So who knows. I mean, maybe my physical body was really laying there simultaneously. It's like Sostrianos, you know what I mean. So again, it wasn't a negative, frightful experience. What freaked me out was how seamless it was, as it really felt like it was happening. There was no lapse in my thoughts because a lot of times, like when I have out of body experiences, it's like you kind of drift away for a moment and then it just happens. This wasn't like that. It was like

it just happened. It felt like being abducted. Honestly, it felt like being abducted. I'm beginning to wonder did some sort of angelic entity straight up start to pull my soul out of my body? I don't know. But anyway, I wanted to talk about Zostriano's tonight because it's about that.

Do not baptize yourself. Oh that's when he comes back to his body, and he starts preaching to the physical world. I came forth to the perfect Yeah, that's the physical world. I could have sworn that. I got the part about the Barbello, the emergence of the Barbelo, aon from the triple powered spirit. Okay, the Barbelo appears. Oh, and you have to understand that because this was a scroll that was written in Coptic and that was found in Egypt

literally thousands of years after it was hidden. So parts of it are damaged, parts of it are lost, so there are some indiscernible parts with just like you know. They put like dot dot dot dot, and then there's footnotes saying like this part of the text couldn't be recovered. But it's usually just fragments, but it says his dot dot dot within the dot dot dot dot dot dot, like a fragrance, it reaches the light interior to their aon. It is a power that inhabits a part of the unengenderedness,

for it always exists. It sought after him, seeing him there and existing as a simple unity, since he is blessedness and perfection. He was a perfect and blessed unity. She lacks his unity because she lacked him. It's talking about if you remember the myth of the Fall of Sophia and Pista Sophia. His unity is God, the ineffable, transcendent, invisible spirit. He is perfection. He is unity. The lady

will just call her the lady. She sees God and can't comprehend the mystery, and she seeks to not like Lucifer, like Oh, I'm God. But she seeks to be one with him. She's faithful, she's loyal, but she can't comprehend even his mystery. Does that make sense, That's what he's talking about. It sought after him, seeing him there and existing as a simple unity, since he is blessedness and perfection.

He was a perfect and blessed unity. She lacks his unity because she lacked him, since he would supplement her with knowledge, and his knowledge dwells outside of him, with that, with that which contemplates him inwardly, a reflection and an image that lacks dot dot and dot dot, it would have fallen down. Therefore, she came to exist outside his fullness. It was not for herself that she desired this aspect

of her that she established outside the perfection. She became distinct because she is an all perfect instance of perfection, existing as contemplation. With respect to that one, she is an offspring that supplements him, even that which derives from his ineffable power. She is a pre potency, even the primal unengenderedness, succeeding that one. Because with respect to all the rest, she is a first aon or. In other words, she is the first created being from the highest God,

all who are pure because of the unsubstantial existence. It is she who grants rest. It is she who knows and who foreknows herself truly existing as a single aon in act and potency and existence. It is not in time that she originated, but she appeared eternally. Having eternally stood in his presence, she was overshadowed by the majesty of his goodness. She stood looking at him and rejoicing, being filled with kindness. She did not become separate, but when she was filled dot dot dot dot dot dot

of the glories. And she is in an unsub insubstantial existence and a power that truly exists. Remember I was telling you, he's like she's real that. It does say all that for all the other ones, but it's like she truly exists. There's no allegory about this. There is a mother of the universe, and another part of the book of Zostranos, it calls her the Mother of all, the Mother, the Mother the Mother. She is a power that truly exists. She is the first insubstantial existence after

that one. So in other words, again, when God thought reality into being, the first thought was her. The first creation of the ineffable mind is the Goddess, the Lady the whereas this text calls her the Barbello. She's also known as the Sophia. The Goddess is everything. She's the highest created being. And she told my father that the UFOs or her host, they're her army. When you hear of the heavenly host, when you think of God, it's like Shiva and shokt. The masculine is the mind. What

is the mind? You can't see it, you can't touch it, you can't feel it. You can only you can only receive it. You can only experience it. You cannot comprehend it. You can't take a little device and measure it. It's invisible. A mind is invisible to the human senses. So God the Father is the invisible one. It is the ineffable, invisible spirit. When God projects into the physical world and interacts with created beings, it's through her, the first created being.

So she's the Goddess. So there's God the Father, and there's God the Mother. This is how the universe works. In our material world, when we come face to face with the presence of God, it's as the Mother. Because we can't come face to face with the Father. It's ineffable to the human comprehension. Even the higher spiritual beings can't comprehend it. They can't figure it out. It's a mystery. It's the first mystery. Right. So people have to understand

the importance of the lady. This is not just some alien being. This is so much more than that. This is the queen of the universe. This is the highest manifested being. And then there is one higher than that, which is the eternity, immortality, the unmanifested being, the thing that has no cause, and has no creation and has no ending. It is bigger than all of that. All of those concepts exist within this ineffable being. Everything comes

from this being. The source of all thought, all reality, all existence is just streams of manifestation of God, the ineffable one. So when you think of the lady, you put some respect on her name, because that is the first thought that he conceived. She's the queen of heaven for all intents and purposes. So anyway, let me pick back up. She did not become separate when she is. Oh, I said, I skipped back a little bit. Let me go back to where I was, and she is an

insubstanti existence and the power that truly exists. She is the first insubstantial existence after that one, and from the undivided one toward existence. An act moved the intellectual perfection

and the intellectual life that were blessedness and divinity. The entire spirit, perfect, simple and invisible, has become a unity in existence and act, even a simple triple powered one, an invisible spirit, an image of the one that truly exists, the one it is impossible to comprehend true existence, since it is her source, while she is an image, so it speaks of God, the One, the one that cannot

even be comprehended, the invisible One. She is just an image that projects from it, and even she cannot comprehend it, the mystery God. She began to strive since it was

impossible to unite with his image. She saw its privation while it was next to his all perfection, since he pre exists and is situated over all these pre existing being known as three powered the Trinity, and it speaks of the triple powered being who is like the They also call him the Orthogenes, which is just a Greek word which is basically this text's way of saying the spirit of Christ, the child of the Mother and the

Father that manifest into our world as awakened beings. So the triple powered one or the perfected Child is what we would say Christ, the consciousness of Christ. And you know edgar Casey talks about that and has this theory that Christ is this immortal spirit that has incarnated on earth. Many times I tend to believe that, and I think it is not only immortal, but it's unlimited, and that

it can be reflected in each one of us. And that I I think that Jesus Christ is so important because he was the one in our real human Earth history who fully realized this spirit on earth, and he encouraged us. You can do this too, just follow me. The invisible spirit has never been incognizant. He did not merely make an act of knowing, but he was instead

abiding in perfection and blessedness. Now when she the Barbello the Mother became incognizant and she body after dot dot the text is fragmented here in another way dot dot dot enlighten dot dot dot. She was existing individually as cause of the declination, unlest she come forth anymore or get further away from perfection. She knew herself and him, and she stood at rest and spread forth on his behalf.

Since she was from true existence. She was from true existence, was from what truly exists in common with all things, to know herself and the one that pre exists. Wait a minute, let's scratch that back. She was from true existence. She was from what truly exists in common with all things, to know herself, or know thyself right and know the one that pre exists. So what she, even the mother of the universe, has in common, what it says right here with all beings, is that she knows herself and

knows the one that pre exists. What does it say in the Bible? Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind and soul, and love thy neighbor as thyself. That's what Jesus said, the new law, the new commandment, that the old laws fulfilled, and that there was a new law. To love God with all your heart, mindus strength, and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Or in ancient Greece they would say, know thyself, for you are God. Right. That's the mystery they're telling you the

mysteries know thyself. That was very popular in ancient Greece. And yeah, I had thought about there was a couple of other interesting parts about the highlights, the pneumatics and the psychics, but I can't they were earlier in the text.

But anyway, just a little bit more about the Barbello having supplemented him, they came into existence, and they are manifest through those who pre exist and through the dot since they had appeared as a second mentality, and they appeared through the one who foreknows him, being an eternal having become a secondary form of his knowledge, even the duplication of his knowledge, the unengendered calyptos. And it's just a being that's like supposedly a really high aon who

stands guard over the realities below him. Oh remember I talked about towards the beginning of the episode, the Guardian

of the Threshold. This is the concept from Rudolf Steiner Well in this text, the angel of the eternal Truth of the Light pulls him with a luminous cloud through the higher worlds, and the guardian at each reality basically, or as they would say in this text, AONs, because an aon is a plane of reality, but it's also there's a being that is like the chief of this reality, and it's like they all look down beneath them and they're in charge of the realities beneath them, but they

can't even comprehend what's above them. So so Ostriano's got to pass. He was pulled all the way through by a high level being and he got to pass through undetected. But there are other texts where you know, it speaks of trying to ascend through these higher levels of reality and you come face to face with these aon's and ar cons, and their job is to maintain the realities beneath them and prevent you from ascending until you're ready to receive the mysteries. So I think that's a real concept.

I think we could think of that as the ego or I don't know, it's a mystery. But you know, as I was saying earlier, they talk about that in Tibetan Buddhism. Rudolf Steiner talks about it as sick as he was. Even Alister Crawley talks about it. Rudolf Steiner talked about it, and psychology, they talk about it with

the ego, you know. So there's something to this notion that again, we can't receive the mysteries until we begin the process of inner purification and enlightening the soul to become lighter and more free and full of joy and righteousness and kind and gentleness, and not having harsh thoughts towards people, which translates into what words and then actions

or a zoroaster. The ancestor of the author of this gnostic text set good thoughts, good words, good deeds, as it was revealed to him by the God of truth and light. So there's a connection here, right anyway, I think that about sums it up. I mean, I have a ton of highlighted material. I don't need to stay here and read it all. I did have some really cool parts about the three kinds of souls. I don't remember what color I highlighted them, though, and i'd have to. Oh,

I think I found them that easy. Okay, that was pretty simple. Now, the one who repents, and the sojourner and the one inhabiting the perceptible world live with what is dead. They all resemble a single thing. They attain self apart from the dead. Now, none of them is needed salvation initially, but salvation is needed more now that they are degraded. As for the type of person that is dead, its soul, its mind, and its body are all dead sufferings of the subtle fathers of material men.

They are demons that the fire consumes. They are worldly that is transformed. So it's talking about the Highlys, the people who are like MPCs and they have no spirit and they're just materialistic animals who they're never going to get it. They're never gonna figure it out, and that's a shocking concept. But then something I don't think you were to hear from the recording of this with me, but when I had Dahlia on her daughter, Ledu said

a similar thing. Her daughter's not read gnosticism. You know, she's a fourteen nonverbal, autistic genius who her you know, learning to spell, and she's hearing people's thoughts. She's not sitting here reading gnostic texts, you know what I mean. And second, like what fourteen year old child was reading that stuff? Anyway? But unless you see angels and then

you become obsessed with it like I was. But anyway, so something that that Daulia told me on that episode was that her daughter tells her that, because I was like, well,

what does she tell you? I don't want you to sit here and do the blindfold thing on the show and you know, dance for me and do a parlor trick, like I want to learn your perspectives that you've come to after living this life, dealing with her, hearing her thoughts all that stuff, and she was like, well, you know, and then she goes on to tell me, if you haven't heard it, stuff that Leedu hears from angels, and one of them is like something like some percentage of

the world doesn't have souls, and immediately I was like, wait a minute, that's what it says in the Gnostic tradition. Interesting also, if we really want to, you know, throw shots out there kind of like the cosmology of the universe that Robert Munroe experienced on his visionary journeys from a complete lens of non dogma. He wasn't even religious, he was basically atheist, and he started going out of

body and traveling through higher world. It pretty much is in line with this kind of Gnostic model of the universe that there's higher levels of beings, not necessarily that they're evil because they're not they're not all evil, and that they are like kind of guarding realities beneath them, and that they come to you and they pull you along through lives to help you learn lessons, and that you know, essentially we all come from one source. And

he created the term looche. People misunderstand that term, and what he meant by that was that for better or for worse, there are entities in the higher worlds that are charged by our emotional energy. Yes, there are negative beings who harvest our fear, the satanic dark force, but there's also positive beings too that when we give them our love and our joy and our gratitude, it charges you know, the angels, and they get excited and they do dances in the sky and they shoot around and

you know, they connect to your heart. But anyway, so there's something too, this whole Gnosta cosmology thing. So back to the HIGHLYX or past the HIGHLYX. Now we're on the psychics. The second type of person is the immortal soul that inhabits dead things, concerning itself with them, for it then undertakes a search for particular benefits, and it experiences bodily suffering. The soul is treated corporeally, and it forgets that it has an eternal god. It associates with demons,

now the humanity, and the sojourn. If it inwardly possesses the discovery of the truth, it is far away from the deeds of others who lives wickedly and stumbled. And then we're onto the third type, the pneumatics, the fully awakened human incarnations, the people who have a deep need

to seek the mysteries. As for the type of person that repents, if it renounces dead things and desires real things, immortal mind and immortal soul, it is going to be zealous about them by first undertaking for itself an inquiry not just about action, but of the results. Remember I talked about being someone who's in search of the truth. It's like being a scientist. I don't care about all that fluffy crap. I want what's real. I want what has results. I want what truly connects me to the

other side. Cut Cut the crap. You know, That's what I'm getting at here. It becomes more or less a science in the search of truth. From this he receives another way of thinking. The entire place in every attainment will be his. Now. The type of person that can be saved is the one that seeks itself and its intellect and finds each of them, and how much power

this type has. The person that has been saved is one who has not known about these things merely as they seem to exist, but one who is personally involved with the rational faculty as it exists in him. He has grasped their image that changes in every situation, as though they had become simple and one. For then this type is saved, who can pass through them all, he becomes them all. Whenever he wishes, he again parts from all these matters and withdraws into himself, for he becomes divine,

having withdrawn into God. So, in other words, you separate yourself from the trap of the material world. You begin to purify yourself and retreat into the mysteries and desperately walk the path of seeking God. You don't care about all this crap out here anymore because you're in pursuit of the truth and connecting to the other side, which is where you come from. So that's a wrap. Any thoughts on that one. You asked me not to throw you to the freaking wolves, so and just kind of.

this presence. So try it. Uh, you know, do your prayers, do do your meditations, and If you don't want to do Christian prayer, that's fine. Do mantras, do do do something, but do something that's real. So anyway, love you guys, have a great week, and uh you know, we'll see.
