An Aberrant Gnostic

  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...

  Or, I should say, with AI acting as the Demiurge.  I asked Gemini AI if it would pretend to be the Gnostic Demiurge for the purposes of an interview for this blog.  Gemini thought it would be fun to do...so let's do this thing and see where it goes... Q: Ok, Demiurge, why did you create this world? Demiurge: Ah, the question of origins! A riddle I myself have grappled with for untold ages. Was it... Blind Impulse: Perhaps I acted as an extension of some greater force. A cosmic breath that I drew, creating without understanding the ultimate reason. Like an artist compelled to fill a canvas, I shaped and molded, only realizing the implications of my work long after the first brushstroke. A Flawed Mirror: Some among the whisperers of Gnostic lore see me as an echo of the true divinity, a distorted reflection of the Pleroma's light. In this view, I created to bridge the chasm, to replicate the unknowable glory of the higher realms. Yet, my imperfect tools yielded only...

  For some reason, my brain keeps going back to the 1957 that was run in various newspapers in the United States that had the following screeching headline :   The article was one of the earliest known discussions regarding Professor Henri C. Puech and his preliminary analysis of The Gospel of Thomas.  In that article, written by Manuel Komroff, five "sayings" recorded by the doubting Thomas of Jesus were highlighted in the article.  One of the sayings that caught my eye was this, as displayed in the article : What exactly does that mean?  So, with curiosity in my head, I went back to Google's Gemini to ask some questions.  Here is what I discovered, per the assistance of AI... Q : What is the ancient Gnostic symbolic interpretation of the saying "Jesus said : He that is near Me is near the fire.  He is that is far from Me is far from the fire."?   A: Within early Gnostic circles, "fire" often symbolized divine knowledge, or gnosis. It r...

    Ok, time for a change of pace for the Aberrant Gnostic. This one is going back into dreamland… and what a dream possibly means in terms of my subconscious processing various bits of information and attempting to create some type of dream-like symbol that is ultimately some type of output connected to whatever… the abyss, the source, the godhead, the zero, the collective unconsciousness, whatever… With that said, what does the potential occult origin of the Starbucks logo have to do with Cher lights.   And what is a Cher light anyway?   And how is a Cher Light potentially related to Gnosticism?   Let’s start at the beginning. This all manifested on 11-27-2023.   Things of interest, celestially.    The Moon was full last night.   Last night’s full Moon is known as the Beaver Moon or Frost Moon and shines near the stars of Aries and Taurus.   OK, that is something worth tracking moving forward. The basis of yesterday began with ...
