By doing the hard work necessary to achieve nosis in this life, we will be prepared for navigation in the mysterious next.
This concept is illustrated quite literally in the Coptic book of Juu. In this much lesser known and only known illustrated Gnostic text, Jesus takes his closest disciples aside to share with them the cosmic teachings about what to expect after death. It is a rare occurrence where Jesus is teaching in literal terms with straightforward diagrams that are not shrouded in allegory. He first draws out the athetheric forms of the archons and emanations of God with what look uncannily like modern electrical diagrams and then names each one and describes its specific purpose. The student is meant to memorize and ritualistically work toward having this knowledge tempered in their mind for the sole purpose of not being fooled by archonic beings that are hostile to the ignorant soul after death.
If you are reminded of the mara in the bardo that was named the Tibetan book of the dead after the more ancient coming forth by day known as the Egyptian book of the dead. Well, you'd be spot on because these three texts separated by time and distance all say the same thing. Assuming you are familiar with both the Tibetan and Egyptian books of the dead, let's read from this book of Jau and see how it parallels.
All right. So, it is illustrated, which is rare in Gnostic. Uh, and that's like the coolest illustration, but I went through this whole Gnostic text, picked out the juiciest nuggets. This the script is very repetitive. So, I'm just going to give you the the first of each nugget. And when he had given voice, there came forth this voice, which is the emanation. This is his character. He will set up a rank corresponding to the treasuries and it will place it as watchers at the gate. But again caused a power from himself to move the true God. At first he caused it to radiate within him so that he might move his emanation in the treasuries that they also might bring forth emanations. He emanated 12 emanations and there are 12 heads in each emanation and this name is that of the 12 and there are 12 according to each one of the ranks and they are one outside the other endlessly just for context by the way just for you Anthony he got his disciples antiarasited and then gave them some kind of like hallucinogenm to prepare them for death and said whenever he gets out there out of their bodies to get ready and have these sigils ready whenever they meet the archons.
>> Do you know what type of psychedelic? Oh, it doesn't say it has something good. There might be, but it's something that is good with I'll read it here in a minute, but look, frankincense and sage might have been salvia deorum, dude. >> Right. It might have been salvia, which is what they use in the Catholic church and right?
>> But this is where it gets this gets weird. All right. When you have come to this place, seal yourselves with this seal. This is its name. Say it only once while the cipher is in your hand and say this name three times and the watchers and the ranks and the ve are drawn back until you go to the place of their father and he gives you his seal and his name and you cross over concerning the placing of this treasury six places around it in the midst of which is these two lines which are drawn below His places are thus. They are the root of his places in which he stands. These two lines also are the pathways when you will go to the presence of the father. These alphas are also ve which are drawn before him.
So, and this is an important thing too is that um people have this image of the 12 disciples like it's some kind of sausage fest. Um there were women at this party. Surround me my 12 disciples and women disciples so that I say to you the great mysteries of the treasury. These in the invisible God which no one knows. The aons of the archons cannot bear it when you perform them. Nor are they able to grasp them. But the parallemptia of the treasury of light come and they bring forth the soul from the body until they pass through all the aons and they erase all sins which they have committed knowingly and the soul leaps continually from place to place until it reaches the treasury of the light. these mysteries which I shall give to you, guard them, and do not give in them to any man except he who is worthy. Neither give them to those who serve the eight powers of the great archon, who are those who eat the menstrual blood, of their impurity, and the semen of men. Sorry, Sean. Uh saying, "We have known the knowledge of the truth, and we pray to the true God. However, their god is wicked. Uh, this is referring to the Old Testament God probably. Hear now that I tell you his position. He is the third power of the great archon. This is his name, Tchus, the son of Sabio and Adamus. He is the enemy of the kingdom of heaven. His face is that of a wild pig. His teeth stick out of his mouth and he has another face of a lion behind him. And I will give to you the mystery of taking away from you the evil of the archons. So far, this is all about knowing the archons better than they know themselves, who are reflections of the disciples, but we'll get to that. Here's where we get a little witchy. This is very interesting. Jesus offered the incense of the mystery which took away the evil of the archons from the disciples. He caused them to build an incense altar upon the plants. He laid upon it vine branches and juniper and battel and kuoshi. There's a question mark after kuoshi. We don't know what that is. and esbestos and a agate stone and frankincense. And he caused all his disciples to be clothed with linen garments. He caused them to be crowned with mug wart and he placed frankincense in their mouths. He placed the cipher of the first amen in their hands. They placed their feet together. When Jesus finished sealing his disciples, he spoke the prayer, "Hear me and compel Sayo the Adamus and all his rulers to come and take away their evil from my disciples."
All right, guys. So, this next bit got flagged by the scanner, and we did try it a couple times, and it doesn't seem to want to go through. So, we're just going to go ahead and read the translation straight off the page with this phone. And when the evil of the archon ceased within them, the disciples became immortal. Jesus said, "I will give to you the defense. For all these places of which I have given you their mystery, their ciphers and their true names and their defenses. When you come forth from the body and perform these mysteries, all the aons and all those within them will withdraw themselves. But when you reach the six aons, they will restrain you until you receive the mystery of the forgiveness of sins because it is the innermost of the innermost. And they see the seal on your foreheads and they see the cipher in your hands. Then the nine watchers open you to the gates of the treasury of light. The watchers will not speak with you, but they will give you their seals and their mystery. When you reach the rank of the three amens, the three amens will give you their seal. When you go to the rank of the child of the child, they will give to you their mystery. When you reach the rank of the twin saviors, they will give to you their mystery and their seal and the great name. You will go within to their interior to the rank of the seven voices, to the rank of the incomprehensible ones, to the rank of the prehyper incomprehensible ones, to the rank of the prehyper endless ones, to the rank of the undefiled ones, to the rank of the prehyper undefiled ones, to the rank of the unmoved ones. Go in to their interior, to the rank of the hyper unmoved ones. When you reach that rank, they will give to you their mystery and their seal and the great name of the treasury of light.
What's important here is that in the Coptic this going within within within like Russian dolls layers like an onion. Um this keeps going. I'm going to leave out a lot of it. Um but it it goes on and on and on which is eerily reminiscent of a coalistic uh layers of reality that is described as an onion which is weird that we can compare it to the coalistic system. These diagrams are reminiscent of a lot of coalistic diagrams. So and this is where it gets this gets weirder and weirder. Uh these are their names of the uh of the rulers which are the archons and they are it's all Z's and buzzing noises which these sigils look like electrical diagrams. So it's very strange that their names sound like electricity. That's just conjecture. These now are their true names. Hear us our father. The whole which came forth from Alpha will return to Omega. When the completion of all completions takes place, we now call upon these imperishable names, so that thou shaltest send forth this great light power to follow these 12 incomprehensible ones who are the 12 disciples since they have recovered the mystery.
one of the most telling parts of any gnostic gospel. Now that these disciples have been dewormed and I mean whatever else was in these oceans and whatnot, they have become not synonymous with the aons but are quite literally the aons themselves. And because of all of this indeed they are not restrained from approaching the treasurer treasury of light. This entire thing is meant to pierce each layer deeper and deeper until you get to this this treasury of light. And of course for that you'll have to get through yos the demieros. And I keep saying this gets weirder and weirder. This gets weirder.
When you come forth from the body and you reach the first Aon and the archons of that Aon come forth before you and seal yourselves with this seal. This is its name. Say it only once. Hold the cipher in your two hands. When you have finished sealing yourselves with the seal and you have said its name once only, say these defenses, also withdraw yourselves. You archons of the first Aon because I call upon and then these names. When the archons of the first Aeon hear these names, they will be very afraid and they will withdraw and flee to the west to the left and you will proceed upwards. The third Aon Jayoth, this is its name. Hold this cipher. The fourth Aon, Samuel, seal yourselves with this seal. This is its name. Say it only once. Hold this cipher. Reach the sixth Aon which is called the little midst. The archons of those places have a little goodness within them because the archons of those places have believed. The archons of the little midst come before you thinking that perhaps you don't know the mysteries. Thinking that perhaps you have not received the mysteries. Say the mystery and seal yourselves with this seal which is thus. This is its name. Say it once only. Hold this cipher in your hands. Those archons will withdraw and they will make way for you and they will not seize hold of you. But they will also rejoice with you in great joy because you have received the mysteries while you were still in the body. That is probably the most important takeaway.
When you reach the 12th Aon, the invisible God is in that place with Barbello and the unbegotten God in a place alone in the 12th Aon. These ve are drawn before him. Seal yourselves with this seal. Say its name. Say it only once. Hold the cipher in your hands.
There's a lot to unpack there that can't be unpacked in a YouTube video. This is the kind of thing that whether it's psychological, whether it's hallucinogens, whether it's religious, whether it's scientific, we we just we don't know. And to be frank, it doesn't sound very Christian.
So we see that some kind of ritual using those various stones and plants were needed to purify all the disciples, men and women in the flesh before they could even think about approaching higher aons or realms. Perhaps these dark entities have anchor points in the form of parasites within all earthly people who are born in original sin or worldly life and flesh. Throughout the book of Ja, Jesus stresses the importance of having the knowledge needed to recognize by name and attributes the various levels of Aons and the archons that ruled them in order to not be surprised or afraid when finally encountering them. He makes it clear that understanding these postdeath obstacles prepares the soul with a kind of stoic nosis that the parasitical archons themselves are afraid of. This text not only acts as a sort of dewormer for the soul but again directly parallels other so-called books of the dead from all over the world that also give literal and specific instructions to the ears of those who will soon try their hand at escaping a system of soul recycling. The resemblance is so impossible to ignore that it makes me wonder why so many people torture themselves with speculation over what happens after we die. It just so happens that numerous texts that line up with each other and modern NDEs have it mapped out verbatim. It's no wonder that years before Plato felt it was so important to dedicate his earthly life to a practical philosophy. Being in an age and setting before the arrival of Christ, the ideals embodied and dedicated to self-sacrifice and service to others was found in stoicism, a cornerstone of Greek philosophy and a surefire way of ridding ourselves of potential mental parasites while still wearing a temporary human suit. Innasticism. The archons or rulers of this realm are parasitical because they sustain themselves by keeping human people mentally weak and thus easy to contain. However, the popular term used for this is loosing. It is important to note that the so-called term luch is never mentioned in Gnostic text or any other ancient text for that matter. How this term found its way into the gnostic conversation is actually far more interesting. Robert Monroe directed studies on outofbody experiences that were compiled in his 1985 book, Far Journey.
