The One, Reality, is hitting us between the eyes at every moment. The Truth has its sovereign seal upon us. God is Here, Now. The physical world is not a prison, but a vale of soul-making. The archons are not prison guards, but gatekeepers upon the ancient wheels of Karma.
The seven planetary demons or archons may be compared to the same phenomena as the wrathful deities of the Bardo. When we are deep under the force of an ancient medicine, or deep in meditation, or even, down to the micro-grain of an everyday thought (and, the Buddhists assert, when we die) , we are bathed in the non-dual light of Infinite Reality. There is no separation except in the distance of our realization. When we cannot surrender to the Truth, instead cleaving to our familiar identity and limits, our benevolent deities appear and attempt to awaken us through the lustrous qualities and virtues of God.
When we cannot identify with this infinite tenderness, majesty and beauty, then they appear in forms we may more ably recognize. Our infinite Buddhas and rainbow-prism Angels take on their wrathful guise – the wrathful deities, full of cosmic rigor and existential agony. These are our archons, because they truly stand at the threshold between the celestial and the physical. If we do not wake up through their instruction. if we do not surrender the pains in the ego, and instead cleave to our familiar identity, and then run from them to memories of our physical appetites and desires, we are back upon the wheel of Karma, birth and rebirth.
This is not a failure, it is simply how it must be. Because the soul is not ready. If it were released to the Divine at this point it would dissolve in the ocean of Amrita or manifest insane worlds in the Astral Aether. No, back upon the wheel, to be coagulated through grace and rigor, so that the soul knows its roots, and also knows its branches. So that it is fully imbued with Knowledge and Wisdom. So that when the time comes, and it is released from limitation, it can survive in Infinity. This is how the Divine creates Angels, Child-Gods within its Clear Light. With a true awakening and identification with the Divine, one passes straight through the archons – as they have ceased to exist in that monad of consciousness.
Thus understood, the archons are necessary gatekeepers. It is true they operate with rigor, testing us with fear and pain. And tempting us to backslide – testing if we have stabilized our dharmas. If they did not work to distinguish the realms, then all manner of entities could enter Heaven, which would do them no good at all, because until their pranic, astral bodies (souls) are properly structured or ripened upon the Wheel of Time, they would shatter at the Bliss. The archons only exist because God lets them. Ultimately they are an expression of Sophia (Wisdom). So to claim anything can happen without God’s knowledge or will is anti-Christ. God is in this definition all knowing ; in-fact, all that Is and ever can be.
The Earth as we experience it, as well as Archonic manifestations, are just an expression of the Consciousness as we have it on this plane of experience. The archons, and physicality itself, are like cosmic eggs, or, like loops of time, habit, form, experience, to be transcended when it is right to. And we must not stagnate in old eggs ! Yet at the same time to release ourselves from protective limits can also carry with it risk. When people launch themselves beyond their eggs, skipping stages of formative development, they risk crystallizing on the wrong foundation’ – the worst fate for a spiritual adept is to fall into the sorcerors’ trap – an untreated pride or anger or desire amplified through heightened psychic powers. The gravity basin of the chthonic archonic tendencies mean that only super-luminious consciousness can fly beyond these morphogenetic fields into the Celestial, Subtle and Causal spheres of Divine Consciousness.
