An Aberrant Gnostic

  I recently watched the new film, Late Night With the Devil , with David Dastmalchian, and honestly, enjoyed it quite a bit.  It has a bit of everything...Abraxas, Bohemian Grove, the occult, Satan...the movie is a treasure trove of goodies for those who are into Hollywood symbolism and the occult.  Some conspiracy theorist types have made mention that movies such as these provide a glimpse into the power workings of those who run the world...sort of like a "mention of the method."  Yet in the case of the film, there is a true dark underbelly that references the consequences of belonging to such a group and taking in part of worldly pleasures.  Still, I was more curious about one of the film's characters, Mr. Wriggles.  Who is Mr. Wriggles?  Here you go on what the character is : Mr. Wriggles is the main antagonist in the 2024 found footage supernatural horror film "Late Night with the Devil". Portrayed by Ingrid Torelli as Lilly D'Abo, Mr. Wriggles ...

  Almost a year ago today, there was an interesting incident involving a Las Vegas backyard and ten foot tall aliens.  In case you don't recall (or if you were unaware of it), here is a quick summary of what the story entailed: Date: April 30, 2023 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada The Encounter: On the night of April 30, 2023, the Kenmore family reported a strange sequence of events in their Las Vegas backyard. They claimed to have witnessed a bright light plummeting from the sky and crashing near their home. According to 17-year-old Angel Kenmore, the chaos didn't end there. In the aftermath of the crash, he emerged from his house to investigate and came face-to-face with a tall, thin creature unlike anything he had ever seen before. The creature, he described, had an aggressive demeanor and an unnervingly gaunt physique. Initially, Angel believed it to be an alien visitor. Witnessed Light, Mocked Claims: While the alien encounter itself remains unverified, the strange light ...

  If you follow UFOlogy at all, you might be familiar with the Betty and Barney Hill incident from 1961. There is a lot of “stuff” attached to this incident: Aleister Crowley, the television show “The Outer Limits,” possible psychological operations, or maybe, just maybe, a good old-fashioned encounter with extraterrestrials. If you aren’t familiar with the alleged incident, I asked my newfound friend, Gemini, to summarize it for those who might need a refresher course: In September 1961, Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple, were driving home to New Hampshire from vacation when they observed a strange, bright light following their car. They experienced a period of missing time and unsettling physical and emotional symptoms afterward. Troubled by the experience, they eventually sought help through hypnosis therapy. Under hypnosis, they recalled detailed memories of being abducted and taken onboard a disc-shaped craft. Within the craft, the Hills described encou...

  One of the first text titles mentioned in the early days of newspaper reporting on the Nag Hammadi Library was mention of The Book of the Great Invisible Spirit .  I wonder what that book might be about...so let's see what AI has to say about it, shall we? A Book With Three Themes to Digest For me, anyway!  My new friend in the Google Bard summarized the book as such.  The three main sections include: A Gnostic Cosmology : the universe was/is created by a series of emanations from the ultimate, unknowable God, or the Great Spirit.  The material world was/is created by lower divine beings and is seen as a place of ignorance and suffering A Gnostic Mythology : the text relates the story of the divine being Seth, and "his" three descents into the material world.  The first one occurred at the time of the Flood, the second at the time of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the third in the form of Jesus Christ. A Gnostic Set of Rituals :  The tex...

  Once more, if you found this post, you don’t need a definition as to what an Archon is.  Years ago, at a very highly, highly, highly uneducated attempt to translate some original digital NHL texts online with the Google machine, my first sense of the source material was that Archons related to tax collectors.  Am I surprised that someone was bitching about tax collection in ancient Greece/Roman times?  Would I be surprised if the whole sensibility of Gnosticism was a gripe about church collection/state collection of personal funds?  Absolutely not! Money makes the world go round, and human beings love it, cherish it, and will do whatever it takes to get more of it.  If you take it away from someone…look out.   Yet, that isn’t as exciting as some other work and thoughts on Archons.  Archons being a symbol of the tax man?  George Harrison would probably agree…but let’s pretend that Gnostic thought didn’t originate as a complaint about mo...
