The Ancient Craft

STATEMENT BY THE GRAND MASTER MASON REGARDING THE GRANDE LOGE NATIONALE FRANCAISE

The Grand Lodge of Scotland has noted with increasing concern the continued disharmony within the Grand Loge Nationale Francaise which has seen internal disputes develop into legal actions, including the French Courts having now appointed an Administrative Receiver over the legal entity of the Grand Loge Nationale Francaise.

Whilst the Grand Lodge of Scotland has no wish to interfere in the internal affairs of another Grand Lodge the public schism within the Grand Loge Nationale Francaise and the manner in which it is being reported in the media is against the basic tenets of the Craft and is adversely contaminating the reputation of other Grand Lodges.

A meeting of the Grand Loge Nationale Francaise scheduled for 27th June 2011, at which it was hoped a resolution to the present situation could have began, was cancelled and there is no indication that harmony will be restored in the near future.

The continuing state of affairs in the Grand Loge Nationale Francaise is liable to damage the International status of Freemasonry and it is therefore necessary that the reputation of the Grand Lodge of Scotland be protected.

Accordingly, with the specific authority granted to me by the Grand Lodge of Scotland, with immediate effect I regretfully suspend recognition of the Grand Loge Nationale Francaise by the Grand Lodge of Scotland.

The Mother Lodge of Scotland - Mother Kilwinning No.0
This old and ancient lodge of freemasons dates back to the building of Kilwinning Abbey around 1140 and has a unique history second to none in the masonic world

Kilwinning Abbey rumoured to having been installed by the De Morvilles (possible Norman Knights )

This is an exploration into many of the masonic writings illustrating some thought-stimulating info

Example From p57 of Mystic Masonry, (0.50 in vid)

"Every Soul must work out its own salvation and take the kingdon of heaven by force "

Suggesting for me an active directed consistent intention combined with action intermingling and developing a yin/yang balance in its nature is required in order for the individual to achieve their christ state , this active direction propelled by the individual will and directed by an evolving individuals intuition which is a route of self education/enquiry /enlightenment that cannot be given step by step by anyone else , but guidance must be imported where necessary at the nod of the individuals intuition (:

I remember having seen this video several years ago and it is a most informative and valuable presentation.

What is key here is that it uses masonic sources.
It makes a firm connection of Rosicrucianism to masonry.

And most important is that it connects masonry to ritual, ceremonial magic and Arthur Waite. As this links masonry proper to what is considered by masonry proper to be irregular masonry or magical orders...like the OTO and Crowley...that they are connected in their essence despite regular masonry's outward denials of that connection.

This is the key to understanding masonry and then realizing the quantum physics behind the magic. As magic is really a science best explained by quantum physics.
The masonic temples, structures, churches are all devices...no different than electronic circuit boards.
And quartz, or stone containing high quantities of quartz, is vital to these devices...as is quartz in watches, television and computer screens, hard drives etc.

The current operating system of reality has been set in place by sequestering what existed before it and re-writing the program with multiple layers.
Even the ethereal and astral dimensions are also under such controls. Which is why the promise of their potential bestowments are empty of true freedom beyond the physical...as is promised in carrot and stick fashion to naive seekers.

More lIght is Promised by the Entitys (Spirit Advisors) to those that are "Worthy" of such Bestowment , Great revelations here

Interesting how he suggests that masonry was corrupted with aspects of ceremonial magic serving the darkside, too bad he attempts to deceive that somehow his Scottish Rite sect is somehow different or immune.

But they lie anyway.

A lot of inconsistincies and contradictions in the doctrine Qsc

My question to this masonic elder would be this , before he goes into the perverted decline info at 5 mins, from the 3.30 to 5 min mark he is talking about the ancients teaching initiates and what the qualitys of these teachings were , and it is there that i gripped this question that screams for an answer
He says that in aquiring the skill of existing worthily , initiates will aquire/access / gain the commendation of the deity

This is the point that i may ask him , How and who determines and by what/which parameters that a confirmation of this commendation has occured ?
Does an entity contact the initiate with wisdom or should i say the deity ? and if so, how can it be determined that this was the deity and not some malevolent phantom in the psyche ?

Yeah id like to get those questions answered after which i would form much more because when it comes to the knowledge of and working with deity or entity , who truly has the right to say they are the authority on it , unless that authority is founded on some form of higher power as in a higher level of human consciousness in the beneficial manner which is defined by what parameters exactly ? im sure every living person would have a differing answer to that .

hmm its confusing to me this idea of one deity

And then he's got you.
From there you take your oaths and pay your dues.
Should you be one of the rare that can actually serve as a vessel for possession, then you will be carefully vetted to see if you can be one of the very select individuals ready for the secret degrees that exist between degrees.
Blood drinking, anal sex, sex with children and human sacrifice just tools toward the enlightenment.

Lord knows how, but ive kept out of the pipers parade

Should you be one of the rare that can actually serve as a vessel for possession

This is a quite bizarre happening .. or is it deeply symbolic occurence for someone

For years now, an Eagle Owl has been sighted around an inverness masonic property in Scotland, just a day or so before this incident, it was reported that a young child and its mother were walking past the masonic property and they heard a demonic growl , the child spotted what they thought was a human on the roof of a building about to jump of , it turned out to be an eagle owl

Then this eagle owl attacks a Bro taking a piece out of his head as he lingers outside the masonic property entrance

Eagle owl attacks man leaving him in pool of blood in Highlands
A man was left was left lying in a pool of his own blood after his head was ripped open by an eagle owl.

John MacKay, 58, of North Kessock, Inverness-shire, was walking into a masonic club when he suddenly woke up on the floor with a "fountain" of blood pouring from his skull.

Sitting on a nearby van was a two-foot high eagle owl glaring down at him.

Mr MacKay said: "I was just crossing the car park to the clubhouse with some pals and we noticed this eagle owl because it was making rather lot of noise.

"We never really gave it a thought and so I stopped to make a phone call, while the others went into the club. The next thing I knew, I was on the deck.

"It was as if I had been hit by a brick or something as it had ripped my head open and the blood was everywhere - it had erupted like a fountain.

"When I went to look up, I saw that this owl had gone from my right hand side to my left hand side and was sitting on a roof of a van looking at me.

"It was so silent, it had just swooped down in a fraction of a second and attacked me with its talons, slicing my head like a stanley knife would."
Mr MacKay was able to crawl into the club to get help and staff immediately dialled an ambulance to pick him up.

Mr MacKay, a retired businessman, said: "When I got to the hospital I had an option between stitches, staples or glue. I opted for the glue and so they stuck me all back together.

"I am ok now and that's the main thing, it could have been a lot more serious if the bird had got my eye or the cut was deeper."

Keith Campbell, who used to own the nearby Redcliffe Hotel, stressed that this was not the first time the owl had visited the area.

Mr Campbell, who now owns Kinkell Guest House in Inverness, said: "When we owned the Redcliffe we actually had an eagle owl come and visit our garden for a week.

"It caused chaos, the neighbours were all complaining that it was attacking their cats, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same one that has returned."

Tommy Horne, of Croy, Inverness-shire, rescues birds of prey in the area and has been trying to find the animal since the most recent attack on last Saturday outside Inverness Masonic Club.

He said: "It's very strange for any bird of prey to attack a human, I've never heard of it. Perhaps it's injured or something like that, but I really don't know. I was out looking for it on Saturday night, but so far there's been no further sightings of the owl.

"Eagle owls are very large birds, and for me the welfare of the bird is important now, so I'm keen to find it."

Demons!

Interesting topic. I am inclined to think that demons are real and take an interest in 'managing' lifestock.

What do you guys know about demons, demonology?

Interesting topic. I am inclined to think that demons are real and take an interest in 'managing' lifestock.

What do you guys know about demons, demonology?

I know we got plenty of them channeling through humans in the uk




But demonic energy is certainly emanated through human actions and expressions , often with violent physicality or intention to others, therefore it is not a big leap of speculation for me to presume that there is demonic energy / influence / entity that infects human psyche just like a parasite as flames mentions, and many of the hosts arent aware they have this parasite embedded within them until its eventual more extreme actions cannot be explained away through mere human annoyance, impatience or temper tantrum

There is a history of dirty sorcerers that try and raise dirty energy through hatred to harm others

Animals are interesting because for all we know, they are channeling a type of spiritmessage / judgement in their behaviour towards certain humans

The film "forbidden Planet" has a good scene that touches on this area, the character morbius has a beautiful virginal daughter that talks and hangs out with dangerous animals , when a space visitor human arrives with primal sexual instincts towards her, and she also changes with this new energy , she then encounters the bigcat with the space visitor and the bigcat becomes angry and attacks , because in the final breakdown , the sexual drive contains a lot of demonic energy in its extreme selfishness and fanaticism and has destructive tendencies too etc etc

This is why the iching contains great warnings about the concept of the "Lawsuit" which is a sort of psychic contempt revenge etc against another person , when these lawsuits are active in people , they can drain a lot of energy and leave the door open for demonic entity to channel through the psyche , off course i not forget that there is a thing called a just cause which may begin as a lawsuit against someone else but should be managed carefully in order that no dirty energy is activated

its all very energetic really

whats your take sputnik

Sure don't know much about demons or demonology, but I can share a story about what could be perceived as a demonic type encounter. Couple of years ago I drank a strong tincture with an intention of overcoming my fear of the dark. Had a hard time even walking through my own living room with the light off. Was just ridiculous and thought this might help. About an hour later while lying down in the dark, I looked to the corner of the room to see this gargoylie lil dude haunched over looking back. I recall being startled but then immediately feeling almost like what could be amused and not really surprised. As this happened I said in my mind as if speaking to this creature, Hey I can see you there. The creature didn't seem to like that and it backed up the wall to the top corner and was gone. Spent the rest of the night with no ill ease in the dark for the first time in a long time and after this there was an extended effect but only temporarily. I would like to say that I know why but it is hard to explain. My idea is that because I used a tincture to assist in having that experience, it wasn't a complete experience or a direct experience. So, it wears off. Could be wrong but its just a story.
When listening to the Crowley mini documentary, again this idea came to me during the abramelin ritual. Don't actually know anything about that either but I was reminded of something that felt deeply psychologically important. Could it truly be so simple and so complex at the same time. These beings or demons or even angels for that matter, symbolize internal psychological mind manifestations. Not saying these don't exist on some other level, this is just something considered.

Are Archons Greys?

by Usko Ahonen Md

Modern ufology usually postulates that aliens come from another planet or dimension. But what if they've been here since the dawn of time? Autodidactic scholar John Lash has a most compelling theory rooted in Gnosticism: that some aliens are Archons, devoid and corrupt cousins of man put here by the same celestial forces that created human beings.

The Archons were whispered about in texts after the burning of the library at Alexandria which contained some mention of these mysterious beings. But the powers that be spent 1,300 years expunging the records and have practically written out the Archons from human history. In 1947, texts were found in clay jars in Nag Hammadi, Egypt. In these texts was a story of what the Nag Hammadi people, 2,000 years ago, thought the world was about.

The word Archon means “primordial” and “a ruler,” and exist in contrast to the Aeons, who, in Gnostic theory, are “any number of emanations of God, taking part in the creation and government of the universe.” “According to the myth, Archons were created by a celestial interdimensional entity, Sofia, who was pleiroma with other Aeons, and thus partly emancipated from the wholeness of the Heavenly Father. The Archons are a spinoff of Sophia, and corrupt because they had not been approved by the other Aeons.

This happened billions of years ago, before the solar system was born. These celestial consciousnesses are hard to imagine, since they exist outside of space and time. A materialized neonate-type of Archon would appear to be quiet, psychotic and prone to lying.

Archons are interdimensional inorganic beings, who rule and reign over matter. This makes them look godlike to humans, but they are incomplete entities, since they lack human consciousness and experience. They don’t come from any civilization, or create them, either. The first Archon, who created all others, is called Yaldabaoth (“breeder of the hive”). This “reptilian” leader is aggressive, territorial, and charged with demonic powers. The Archons wish to keep mankind under "the constraint of fear and worry," because they feed off such emotions. Negative energy gives them room to operate. They are psychic parasites capable of mind control on many levels. But they are, and have been, without humans, and don’t need us for their survival. The Archons can’t inhabit earth, which is hostile to them. Archons are caught in a delusion that they created humans. They have no soul, only a hive-like, common mind.

According to John Lash, Gnostic texts describe two kinds of Archons, an embryonic or fetal type—hence, the Greys of modern UFO lore—and a reptilian type. They “abduct souls by night,” a precise description of modern ET abductions. Envy (covetousness) and arrogance (egomania) are their primary features. They are mindless drones, greedy for power over us and too cowardly to come out in the open and reveal themselves. They have no concentrating power, no innate faculty that would unite intention with attention. Gnostic gospel says, “The Archons cast a ‘trance’ over Adam... They put him into a sleepy state, but it was his perception they dulled... They make our hearts heavy that we may not pay attention and may not see. So we lose the reflection of the Divine Light within us.”

Ancient Gnostic seers detected and investigated the problem of alien intrusion before the first century AD. They believed the Archons to be the primary threat to humanity. Gnostic seers had to be skilled in non-ordinary reason to interpret the experiences they underwent in states of heightened perception. Lash cautions to not expect the Archons to be rational. What we learn about these entities will involve non-ordinary reason, but it will not be irrational nonsense. In general, “The mentality of the Archons "cannot be rectified,"” and, what's worse, "the Archontic hive-mentality is not capable of development."

In ancient Rome, Gnostics considered themselves as Christians, and lived in harmony with others for hundreds of years. They were mainstream in a religious sense. New age, “modern” Gnostics have little to do with them.

Psychonautics, Carlos Castaneda and the concept of spiritual reality

The word psychonaut literally means “sailor of the soul” who uses altered states of consciousness to investigate the mind, and address spiritual questions, through direct experience. Psychonauts tend to be pluralistic, willing to explore mystical traditions from established world religions, meditation, lucid dreaming and technology. John Lash, David Icke and Graham Hancock, for example, have gone on such journeys. Terence McKenna is probably the most famous advocate for the use of psychoactive plants. According to Lash, these plants aid “shedding the filters of conditioning and [facilitating the ability] to commune directly with the planetary intelligence. “

Dr. Carlos Castaneda was a psychonaut, and his books record his apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian, Don Juan Matus, who plays mentor to Dr. Castaneda’s skeptical anthropologist. Dr. Castaneda managed to alter the parameters of his perception and explore other worlds. In the process of his adventures, he encounters certain inorganic alien beings. According to Lash, these are Archons, the small grey aliens.

To the horrified astonishment of Dr. Castaneda, the elder sorcerer Don Juan explained how the human mind has been infiltrated by an alien intelligence: “We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile and helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so.”

The Yaqui sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of beliefs, our ideas of good and evil and our social mores. They are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, selfish and egomaniacal. The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind.

The late Harvard professor John Mack wrote that “a number of shamans with whom I have spoken, from native cultures of North and South America, Africa, and Australia, know of, or have had encounters with, beings that have properties much like the grey aliens that visit abductees in the United States and other Western societies. Each culture has its own name for them. According to these shamans, beings of this sort have been around for thousands of years and seem to have a great interest in the face of Earth, functioning as its scavengers or protectors depending on the particular shaman's experience or point of view.”

There is too a connection to modern alien abduction phenomena. Mack talks about the different reality people inhabit during an abduction and interaction with aliens. Many abductees feel that another spiritual reality is an essential feature of the abduction experience. According to Lash, this is because the aliens create virtual realities, false realities, also known as HAL in abductee circles. An abductee steps into a world where time-space is separate from our world. It is like a small parallel universe. The aliens generate this using mind power. Castaneda documented human power sorcerers who can do the same. They have learned this skill from the Archons and at the same time lost something essential from their human soul.

Dr. Karla Turner lectured on an abduction case in which the subject was asleep in bed. The aliens came, raised her into the air, and a glow of silvery light surrounded her body. At the same time there was a UFO on top of the building. When the aliens left and she was revived, she explained that she had been on a UFO and interacted with aliens there. This happened although two witnessed her body remaining in bed for the duration of the encounter. Here, according to Lash, a person is inside a HAL or virtual reality, while their soul essence is with Archontic spiritual reality, which is another reality. It is not observed by any humans present, who only see the levitating, glowing body of the abductee.

Some Archon-ET hypothesis similarities with modern ufology

The interdimensional hypothesis (IDH or IH) is an advanced theory by Jacques Vallee that says UFOs and related events involve visitations from other "realities" or "dimensions" that coexist separately alongside our own. He called the ET/UFO phenomenon "a spiritual control system." ET/cyborgs probably belong to the local planetary realm. Paranormal researcher Brad Steiger wrote that "we are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon that is largely indigenous to planet Earth." In his book UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse published in 1970, John Keel linked UFOs to supernatural entities such as ghosts and demons.

In his book Passport to Magonia, Dr. Jacques Vallee describes how long and versatile UFO and abduction/contact history is with the humanity. Albert S. Rosales has collected over 17,000 humanoid encounters from 2500 BC to the present day showing all kinds of creatures being interested in humans. Dr. Vallee suspects that alien entities manifest themselves in forms the subjects are familiar with and/or expect them to be. Lash says Archons can do this via HAL/virtual reality capabilities. The motive is to camouflage the phenomenon. In Haunting of America, Bill Birnes and Joel Martin describe paranormal phenomena like hauntings and ESP occurring quite frequently in conjunction with remarkable historical events. Archons operate in the same spiritual world as ghosts. Gnostic myth states Archons do not sleep nor nourish themselves, i.e., are ghostlike. Is there a reality beyond our reality? Are the aliens and UFOs only a part of it? Ancient Gnosticism suggests that there is life after death, and that the Archons are linked with reincarnation.

In the early 1980s, infamous spook Richard Doty made many seemingly outlandish claims to Linda Moulton Howe, including these two: “EBEs said that souls recycle, and reincarnation is real. It’s the machinery of the universe” and that “extraterrestrials created Jesus”. He also told her that the aliens possessed information about the past and the future via “yellow” and “red” books, i.e., were interdimensional beings who existed outside of space and time, just as Gnosticism suggests of the Archons. The extraterrestrials also have an interest in our souls, possibly in a predatory way. A member of MJ-12 was asked to elaborate on this, and his alleged answer was “you don’t want to know that.”

According to Karla Turner’s research, aliens (Archons) have the ability to retrieve what we call the soul, to store it in a container, and to put it into another body. Two traits, she had come to conclude, characterized alien behaviour above all: deceitfulness and cruelty. Dr. Turner stated that “aliens (Archons) can take us--our consciousness--out of our physical bodies, disable our control of our bodies, install one of their own entities, and use our bodies as vehicles for their own activities before returning our consciousness to our bodies.” Could it be that humans, possibly the military or others, are using Archontic platforms (grey bodies) to carry out their own agendas? Could it be that throughout time some humans have been in alliance with the Archontic forces, furthering their own or their group’s interests through the Archons’ diabolical means? John Lash does not have an answer to this.

In his book Grey Aliens and the Harvesting of Souls, Nigel Kerner claims the Greys are seeking to master death by obtaining something humans possess that they do not: souls. Through the manipulation of human DNA, these aliens hope to create their own souls, apart from the hive, and thereby escape the entropic grip of the material universe in favor of the timeless realm of spirit.

In his book The Key, Whitley Strieber suggests that the aliens used souls in the past as tools, and that they were imprisoned in containers. Raymond Fowlers’ The Watchers has accounts of Out-of-body (OBE) experiences during alien abduction, noting that the human race is being “watched” by alien beings. Abductions are becoming strange indeed--they do not always appear to involve the physical body. This suggests the duality of mind and matter, a concept inherent in Gnosticism.

In his book Intruders, Budd Hopkins tells about abduction cases where aliens were interested in collecting genetic material from their abductees. Dr. David Jacobs firmly believes that aliens have a cross-breeding program with the goal of creating an alien-human hybrid race. Bob Lazar, while working at the S-4 sector of Area 51, claims to have seen documents stating that human beings are actually "containers," and that mankind is the result of 65 genetic corrections by alien biological manipulations. John Lash does not believe that an alien-human hybridization program could work, since the genome is so well protected by our Creator, yet the ancient dream of the Archons is to be born like humans to a paradise called Earth.

Reincarnation is an accepted belief in Buddhism and Hinduism; certain non-canonized Christian texts mention it as well. The cult of Scientology and many new age movements believe that souls reincarnate and have lived on other planets before moving on to Earth.

John Lash and Gnosticism

John Lash is a self-educated scholar who combines studies and experimental mysticism to teach directive mythology. He has had remarkable experiences since the age of four, including lucid dreams in which he encountered magical beings who helped him, as well as other beings who attacked him.

On metahistory.org, Lash presents a revision of Gnosticism, and claims to present a complete restoration of the Sophianic myth of the Pagan Mysteries. He has developed a theory of the grey type of space aliens, or Archons, who want to take us over. Lash describes these entities as inhumane, stupid, blind, imitative and distorted. While they influence the way we perceive the world, they do not influence the world itself.

Lash says that Archons did not succeed in taking us over, and moved to plan B: “we’ll get them to become like us.” This echoes the transhumanist agenda, one which the Archons desire. They are willing to “enhance” the human experience via technology, and prolong life. They want humans to become androids and abandon our human souls.

In a recent interview, self-styled Satanist Winter Leeke recent discussed the merging of humans and machines, and how it’s “planned” to happen by the year 2040. He calls this event “singularity,” and it would mean the end of humanity as we know it. This, according to Lash,is Archontic; to prune us violently into building blocks of machinery is a very alien idea. On the other hand, this “singularity” could be disinformation to make people scared and quiet.

In ancient Gnosticism there was a saviour figure, many times Jesus, who wakes humanity from the spell of the Archons. This leads to a golden age of innocence and freedom. John Lash’s Gnostic view denies this. “The Gnostic Christos is an Aeon, a divine force that does not assume human form.” His message is clearly anti-Christian, against the ideology of divine redemption, but not against love, kindness and good works. Lash does not talk about the divine force of Heavenly Father or Barbelo (God’s acting thoughts), mentioned so often in the Nag Hammadi texts. Apparently, Lash thinks it is indifferent or disinformation, since he does not believe in “salvationalism.”

OI an interview for Red Ice Radio, Lash condemns all “Abrahamic” religions as mind control by the Archons. He sees nothing good in any religion, and considers it as an instrument of zombifying the human race. He believes that the alien abduction phenomena is the work of the Archons, but has also stated that UFOs, aliens and abductions, in some cases, could be governmental psyops/blackops.

He believes the goddess Aeon Sofia is personified on earth as flora and fauna. She has the soul of an animal, and is a conscious interdimensional being, even guiding and steering earth through space. We live in her skin. Lash recommends going into the wild and making a vow to Gaia Sofia, a promise to live in harmony with her.

He claims he has found the only true way to Gnosticism, but according to scholarly Gnostic sources, his Gnosticism is his own brand, scarcely related to current and ancient practices.
Lash believes that a “planetary shift is leading to the close of the present world cycle in 2216 CE,” preceded by a massive spiritual awakening. The Gnostics taught that nous, the spiritual intelligence alive in humanity, could be blocked by Archons. They rely on humans remaining ignorant of their inherent, individual spiritual potential. Lash sees activation of Kundalini forces as tools of protection. Arousal of Kundalini produces ecstasy, triggers super consciousness, opens the occult faculties, and releases waves of healing energy that release physiological and hormonal secretions through the body. Also luminous epinoia or the proper use of our imagination can be used against Archons. Lash states that to have a good life we need goodwill, innocence, transparency, communication and play. We can build immunity to Archons by strengthening our vital bond with Gaia-Sofia, the living planet. And one more thing: people shouldn't fill their hearts with the mindless fear constantly stoked by entertainment and the media.

John Lash doesn't know if we’ll ever be rid of parasitic Archons; they certainly won’t go away on their own. He quotes Castaneda: “Human beings are on a journey of awareness, which has been momentarily interrupted by extraneous forces.”

Lash believes the Archons do not care for us at all. The trick, he says, is to get past the extraterrestrial tricksters to the real magic of life on this earth. He seems to be a visionary and a prophet having faith in his studies of mythology and his experiences with entheogens and Gnostic practises. As such, his material and alien hypothesis are intriguing, thought provoking. On the other hand, he has very little--if any--proof for his claims. Is Lash’s Gnosticism only an esoteric system unto himself? Is it a religion among others? Substantial material on the subject can be found at his archive: www.metahistory.org.

Interview with John Lash

John Lash was kind enough to speak with UFO Digest via email.

UA: Many times, the Nag Hammadi texts mention a savior figure, sometimes called Jesus (as well as Heavenly Father and Barbelo). He is an announcer who wakes up humanity from the Archontic spell. What are your thoughts about this as well as other Aeons? Are they real and do they have any role in the fate of humanity?

JL: The Gnostic soter (“healer” or “bestower of health”) is an illumined teacher who imparts knowledge of the cosmic order and human potential, not a Jesus-type messiah who performs self-sacrifice for humanity. Humanity always needs illumined teachers to educate the species in how to develop its true potential. Gnostic eduction has nothing in common with salvation. The assumed historical Jesus is never named specifically in the Nag Hammadi Library. The Coptic initials IS are used. What IS means is open to interpretation.

UA: The alien abduction phenomena. Are Archons or people in collusion with them culprits of the phenomena?

JL: I believe that some alien abduction may be due to black op mind control experiments. Others may be due to the virtual reality manipulations of the Archons who are capable of temporarily inducing a trance state in human subjects.

UA: What are your eschatological views? You mention the year 2216 as an end of a cycle. Can you elaborate? Will there be a world-wide "spiritual awakening”? And if so, who would be behind it?

JL: I have no eschatological view. I base the date 2216 on astronomical data. It is simply the zero hour of the 26,000-year cycle of precession. I do not see a spiritual awakening for humanity at large at this time.

UA: How do your views differ from a “religion”?

JL: Religion demands faith and prevents untestable propositions. Gnosis is an alternative to religion that does not demand faith. It is an open path of experimentation using propositions that can be tested, changed, corrected, and rejected.

UA: What are your views towards H. Blavatsky and A. Crowley? What do you think of Ecclesia Gnosticae Catholice? How do you view Freemasonry?

JL: Frauds. Freemasonry is not worth thinking about.

UA: What are your moral and ethical views in general? Do you, for example, believe in a brotherhood of man, equality, love and tolerance towards others? Do you renounce violence?

JL: I am not an idealist in human values. I do not renounce violence but consider the right use of violence to be essential for social health.

UA: In general, how do you picture the future of humanity?

JL: It's impossible to predict anything.

Do Archons dream of robotic sheep?

What if John Lash is right? What happens if we take his views and current knowledge of UFO phenomenon and attempt to cast the future? Lash’s recent interview with Red Ice Radio conjures images seemingly extracted from Philip K. Dick’s cranium; he claims that the Archons have interacted with humanity since their creation. Our culture, ideologies, religions and values are saturated with Archontic ideas. Some people, some faction of the “elite” have been secretly co-operating with the aliens since the dawn of time. Interdimensional Archons manifest themselves as space aliens from other civilizations, as angels and as UFOs, but these are deceptions.

The aliens manipulate humans, since they are interested in soul energy. They feed from it. Archons produce human misery in every culture and country. They have possibly founded secret societies and have used the occult to draw humans closer to their presence.

All mainstream thinking has a hostile attitude towards studying their existence. Science largely considers UFOs, aliens and the paranormal as little more than figments of our overactive imaginations. Archons have in fact created materialistic science to distort the truth, to keep people in the darkness. Their dream is to make us drones like them by creating war, famine, mental retardation, hate and disgust. We ought to be cynical, remote controlled and at the mercy of our basest drives. They encourage financial gain, fostering the belief that it is synonymous with success and freedom [shades of John Carpenter’s They Live? --ed.]. They delight in popular culture filled with sex, drugs and rampant violence. They would like to drive us crazy us with mindless stimuli; as in these Leonard Cohen lyrics: “Your private life will suddenly explode.”

To end this misery we would merge with the machines. Our soul essence will be uploaded into a flawless body impervious to stress and time. A selected few would become immortal. The industrial elite would rule the planet and mankind. The Archons will make an imitation of man, an artificial human and present him as a Messiah of a new age world religion that annihilates all other religions. The transhumanist agenda wins, as the new human androids serve one God and ruler. Our minds will be programmed for maximum benefit for the work of our new invisible rulers. There will be no human misery, but humanity as we know it will cease to exist.

Is this the future we want? It’s hard to conceive that the faith and suffering of billions, and their prayers to God, would be for nought. Would people really give up free will to something so completely (and literally) alien? The Archons have had thousands of years to assimilate us, with little success. Wouldn’t people fight back? Could the powers that be really force us into this new world order? Are Yaldabaoth and his hive-mind Archons the biblical Satan and his fallen angels? Will there be a happy ending, with or without religion? Or could Archons just be one man’s fantasy based on crumbling beliefs? More, as they say, will be revealed.





Crowley's LAM...sketched in the year 1918...


The Amalantrah Working

In January through March of 1918 Crowley began a series of magickal workings called the Amalantrah Workings in furnished rooms in Central Park West, New York City. These were a performed via Sexual & Ceremonial Magick (his spelling) with the intent to invoke certain "intelligences" to physical manifestation. In actuality, the workings typically manifested as a series of visions and communications received through the mediumship of his partner, Roddie Minor.

Be that as it may, at least one such "intelligence" was brought into physical manifestation via the Magickal Portal they created. (A portal in this context is a "magickally" created rent in the fabric of time and space.) The entity that came through is the one pictured above left. Crowley maintained the picture is actually a portrait and drawn from real life. This entity either called itself "Lam," or was named "Lam" by Crowley. Either way, he considered it to be of interdimensional origin, which was the term then for extraterrestrial. In communications with Lam, the symbolism of the egg featured prominently.

Crowley included the portrait of Lam in his Dead Souls exhibition held in Greenwich Village, New York, in 1919. In that same year it was published as a frontispiece labeled The Way to Crowley's commentary to Blavatsky's The Voice of the Silence. Beneath the picture was the following inscription: "LAM is the Tibetan word for Way or Path, and LAMA is He who Goeth, the specific title of the Gods of Egypt, the Treader of the Path, in Buddhistic phraseology. Its numerical value is 71, the number of this book."

Other than this, there is no commentary extant from Crowley upon the subject of Lam except for material published by disciples such as Kenneth Grant. Interestingly, Crowley gave the drawing to Grant in 1945.

Cult of Lam

Since Crowley's time, several occult groups and individuals following in his footsteps have claimed to have intentionally and successfully contacted "Lam." Most notably, Michael Bertiaux in the 1960's followed by a group of O.T.O initiates in the 1970's. (The O.T.O. is the Ordo Templi Orientis, a Magickal order run by Crowley.) These individuals consider "Lam" to be a trans-mundane or extraterrestrial entity and claimed remarkable success in their invocations - if they are to be believed.

Following the success of these contacts, interest in occult circles, especially Crowleyian ones, gathered considerable steam. In 1987, Kenneth Grant, the generally acknowledged successor to Crowley, went so far as to formalize the Lam Workings into something called the Cult of Lam. To quote from Grant's Typhonian O.T.O. website:

"The Cult [of Lam] has been founded because very strong intimations have been received by Aossic Aiwass, 718'.' to the effect that the portrait of Lam (the original drawing of which was given by 666'.' to 718'.' under curious circumstances) is the present focus of an extra-terrestrial - and perhaps trans-plutonic - Energy which the O.T.O. is required to communicate at this critical period, for we have now entered the Eighties mentioned in The Book of the Law. It is Our aim to obtain some insight not only into the nature of Lam, but also into the possibilities of using the Egg as an astral space-capsule for travelling to Lam's domain, or for exploring extra-terrestrial spaces in the sense in which O.T.O. Tantric Time-Travelers are exploring the Tunnels of Set in intra-cosmic and chthonian capsules.

Members of the O.T.O. who feel strongly attracted to this Cult of Lam are invited to apply for participation therein. It is open only to Order members. They should contact Frater Ani Asig, 375'.' of the Sovereign Sanctuary, O.T.O. and submit a formal, typewritten and signed acceptance of the conditions of Working outlined here.

It should be understood that proficiency in the magical formulae of this Cult does not necessarily comport eligibility for advancement in the O.T.O., its parent Order."

Concurrently, a manuscript called "The Lam Statement" was circulated among O.T.O. initiates with a view to "regularizing the mode of rapport and constructing a magical formula for establishing communication with Lam."

Who is Lam?

It is interesting to note that since Crowley's time, in occult terms at least, Lam is considered a class of entity rather than an individual being. When one invokes Lam, they are invoking an entity of that type, rather than a specific being. For occultists operating along O.T.O. lines, the idea is to invoke these Lam entities through Magickal Portals (intentionally created rents in time and space) into physical manifestation on planet earth. Why this is desirable is not always so clearly stated. (It often appears that within Crowleyian circles the working rule is often: "If Crowley did it, I want to do it, too.")

Michael Bertiaux, a Lam contactee and invoker of note, viewed Lam as the "subterranean burgeoning of Lucifer-Gnosis." Considering that Gnosis means an intuitive knowing, this would mean that knowing Lam is to know a welling-up from the unconscious of an inner knowing of Lucifer. (The Occult being the occult, it is important to bear in mind that occultists at least may not necessarily see Lucifer as the devil, but rather as a "light bringer" who fell to earth.)

Bertiaux goes on to say that Lam is the natural mode of human evolution in the present Aeon - indicating that to him and his followers this Lucifer-Gnosis is the appropriate path of human spiritual growth at this time.

Crowley termed the intentional cultivation of spiritual growth the "Great Work." And the Great work for Crowley, "...involved precisely the establishment of contact with non-human intelligences." Intelligences such as Lam. Using the language of Crowley's time, certain non-human intelligences such as Lam were what we today would term "extraterrestrial."

A Portal Opened

It is generally agreed within occult circles that Crowley intentionally opened a portal of entry via magick ritual in the Amalantrah Workings which allowed the likes of Lam and other similar entities a passageway onto the earth-world. The rift "in-between the spaces of the stars," created by the Amalantrah Working, created a gateway through which Lam and other extra-cosmic influences could enter the known universe, and most particularly, our earth-world. According to occultists involved in such things, the Portal has since widened.

The Babylon Working

According to occult lore, the Portal was further enlarged by a Jet Propulsion Laboratory founder and rocket fuel scientist named Jack Parsons, and Scientology and Dianetics founder L. Ron Hubbard in 1946, facilitating - so it is said - a monumental paradigm shift in human consciousness. This Magickal working was called the Babylon Working, and like the Amalantrah Working on which its ritual was patterned, it was based on ceremonial sex magick.

Together they "endeavoured to ... incarnate a physical aspect of Babylon, the Scarlet Woman of the Book of Revelations (17:3-6). They believed that Babylon was the herald of the new Age of Horus, and that Revelations was the understandably negative interpretation by those of the dying Age of Osiris."

Jack Parsons and a rocket

The gist of it was that Parsons desired to take the spirit of Babylon, the "Whore of Babylon," and invest it in a human being. The idea was to create a child in the spiritual world, and then call down the spiritual baby and direct it into a human womb. When born, this child would incarnate the forces of Babylon, which they considered to be a good thing. (Although Crowley had previously written the somewhat hilarious book Moonchild - concerning a similar experiment - he wrote in a letter: "Apparently Parsons and Hubbard or somebody is producing a moonchild. I get fairly frantic when I contemplate the idiocy of these louts.")

In any event, the rites were duly performed as written from January 4th to 15th of that year. It is not known if a spiritual child was enwombed from them. What is known is that the Magickal Portal first created by Crowley, and which originally let Lam into the earth-world, was reestablished with considerable intensity by Parsons and Hubbard. From the diaries of the participants, it is also clear that they were not as adept as Crowley in the closings of portals. What they seemed to have accomplished was the drastic enlargement and ripping of an existing Magickal Portal and the subsequent non-closure of it. Perhaps the rip they created was not possible to close. In any event, the modern UFO era began exactly a year and a half later on June 24th, 1947, with Kenneth Arnold's sighting over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State.

Grey Aliens

The "grey aliens," slight-bodied, big-headed, large-dark-eyed manikin creatures are primarily an American phenomena. And, it is interesting to note that all the Lam workings were done in America.

Reports of these UFO-associated entities became prevalent in the 1980's and made the big time with Whitley Strieber's book Communion. The "greys" appear eerily similar to Lam, with the exception of Lam not having the large insectoid wraparound eyes reported of the "greys." However, there are variations of these small manikins that very much resemble a Lam. See the second of the two pictures at the top of this page. This entity is a composite of a variation commonly seen in the 1980's. Rather than grey, its skin tone is clay-white and the facial features are different. In fact, the resemblance to the Lam pictured by Crowley is virtually exact.

Also and perhaps most significantly, Kenneth Grant, head of the current O.T.O., states that: "Lam is a Great Old One whose archetype is recognizable in accounts of UFO occupants." It would seem from this official Typhonian statement that the current invokers of Lam are absolutely clear that Lam and the grey-aliens are one.

Satanism

I am not an expert on Satanism, nor do I intend to be. However, there are some reasonably obvious things I have gleaned. First, Satanism is not a unified movement like Christianity or Islam. It is comprised of individuals with their own distinct ideas about what it means to be a Satanist. Second, to some it is a religion, to some a philosophy, to others a magickal path. Third, there is usually a thread of magickal interest in most Satanists of most types. And, where there is an interest in magick among Satanists, it is almost universally an interest in Crowleyian derived Magick.

Based on face value of the evidence, a theory could be constructed that not only are the Lams "grey aliens," but that the arrival of the "grey aliens" in American UFO culture was facilitated solely by the magical workings of Aleister Crowley and later disciples working in his footsteps. There are official O.T.O. groups today, such as the Cult of Lam, that are dedicated to invoking the Lam entities into the earth-world. According to their literature, not only is contact with non-human entities an integral component of spiritual growth, but the "Lam Consciousness" of Lucifer-Gnosis is the "natural mode of human evolution in the present Aeon." Thus these grey-alien/Lam entities are deemed worthy of invocation into the earth-world on behalf of the interests of humanity's evolution.

According to the face value of the evidence, one could also theorize that the Magickal Portal that Crowley created in the Amalantrah Working brought through the first of these beings. However, the Portal constructed was properly closed. In contrast, when Parsons and Hubbard did their similarly constructed Babylon working involving the opening of the same Portal, either they ripped the portal beyond ability to be repaired and closed, or it was enlarged beyond their ability to close it. In either case, the Portal - according to the evidence - has remained opened ever since to all manner of interdimensional entities to ingress upon the earth-world at will. The Parsons/Hubbard working effectively opened the world to the modern UFO entity situation. And, based on the Lucifer-Gnosis construct, O.T.O.-style occultists have continued to pull further interdimensional entities through this rip or unclosable portal.

Of course, Kenneth Grant's statement noted above ("Lam is a Great Old One whose archetype is recognizable in accounts of UFO occupants") is the final proof that the Crowleyian occultists fully believe that they are indeed invoking "grey aliens" into the earth-world.

Noted UFO/Fortean researcher and author John Keel felt that much of the paranormal situations he investigated, such as the "Mothman," were at root due to occult activity of some sort. And it looks like he was on to something.

Interestingly, part of the ritual for invoking Lam, or Lams, is to begin by meditating on the eyes of Crowley's Lam portrait. To quote Kenneth Grant: "To gaze into the eyes of this entity is to invite potent contact. One feels an immediate sensation of lightness, of weightlessness, and then a sensation of falling... of being sucked into a vortex...." Sound familiar? It is well known among UFO investigators that the eyes of the "grey aliens" have a powerful effect on the witness. Witnesses often feel like they are being sucked into their eyes. They also invoke deep feelings of fear.

Grant continues with instructions: "The eyes will enlarge and will suck in [your] consciousness until there arises a sensation of being within the entities head." (Again, this is presented as a good thing.) In any event, the first gate of consciousness is obviously through the eyes. And thus one who would meditate upon the eyes of a portrait of such a entity will indeed begin the process of opening a portal within themselves to the entity. In other words, you don't have to be a trained occultist to raise hell in yourself, which is also one of Keel's contentions.

Why would Ray Fowler's Watcher series be recommended by Satanists as part of their curriculum? First, most Satanists have an interest in magick. Second, the kind of magick is almost always Crowleyian magick. Third, a significant portion of the Crowleyain world feel that invoking Lam, or Lams, is a necessary part of moving human evolution ahead. Fourth, Lams are the occult label for "grey aliens." Fifth, the most comprehensive books on the habits and idiosyncrasies of the "greys" are Ray Fowler's Watcher series. If you want to know all about the "greys," you read Fowler.

Summary
1) "Grey Aliens" are Lams, and were first contacted via magickal ritual by Alistair Crowley. Further magickal ritual along similar lines created a situation where direct access for these entities to the earth-world was established. Certain groups and people believe this to be beneficiary to humanity, and continue to draw these beings into the earth-world through magickal ritual via the original access point.
2) Satanists are involved in Crowleyain Lam invocations and recommend Ray's books for their extensive content on the habits and idiosyncrasies of the "greys" (Lams).

Lam Lore

According to O.T.O. chief Kenneth Grant:

• Lam is known to be a link between the star systems of Sirius and Andromeda.

• Lam is the gateway to the Void. Its number, 71, is that of "NoThing", an apparition.

• Lam, as a Great Old One, whose archetype is recognizable in accounts of UFO occupants.

• Lam has been invoked to fulfill the work set afoot by Aiwass; as a reflex of Aiwass.

• Lam as the transmitter to AL of the vibrations of LA via MA, the key to the Aeon of Maat.

• Lam is the occult energy beaming the vibrations of Maat and may proceed from that future aeon.

thanks for the responses ;D

well what's my take? Here is what I thought.

There are different steps on the way to wake up and see the word clearly. The first step I reckon is to see government the way it's functioning, a machination that serves only a few power brokers on the planet. The second step is to realize what money is and how it works today. The third step is to understand that religion and politics is controled by secret societies.

And then when one has digested all that...which not many people ever do - to achieve a certain level of awareness, they have to confront themselves with the fact that these secret societies summon the help/guidance or whatever from these demons for selfish benefits.

This is the point when most will split with their own research as 90% of humanity will see no other way then to deem such a person insane. The person that starts to see is pretty much isolated as there is no way as to prove this.

So what are demons? I have no idea if they are only emanations of ones own psyche, I often hear this especially from Buddhists, but somehow I wonder if this is really true. But who knows for sure.

I think these non organic entities are sort of like a resonance producing energy..just as we humans and this planet have a frequency on which we take physical shape, so does these demons seem to be connected to the electrostatic field of the earth..with the exception of not being able to take on a dense psychical form.

By observing our planets life we can see that there is an intricate order governing all living beings in relation to each other, only the human seems to be out of place on this planet, having lost it's intuitive intelligence. in comparison to other animals we don't seem to react to real danger appropriately while we fear a lot of abstract things . I also think there is a strong force that keeps peoples conciousness barely a couple of inches above the ground. even animals seem to be more free than us and less stressed out. this is not an attempt to excuse human behaviour by searching for a strawmen character as I am not religious, but I do wonder what causes humans to be so imprisoned even if there is seemingly no visible cause for it.

some good points of research and appropriate level headed speculations in that post qsc

but I do wonder what causes humans to be so imprisoned even if there is seemingly no visible cause for it.

Theres always a psychological cause if it can be brought up into articulation , which sure aint easy with the incredible self defensive "social persona" protection strategys of the human ego shell

It seems like there is another player involved in all of this. One that remains undetected.

whenever the physical world conjures up circumstances , manifestations and communications that do isolate , highlight and reflect some secret in ones mind , that possibility seems very plausible
