About this episode
What if humanity has been infiltrated by an alien species for millennia? Mythologist John Lash presents the stunning Gnostic teachings about Archons, described in ancient texts as artificial beings created from premature cosmic plasma who have manipulated human consciousness since before recorded history. These entities allegedly cannot reproduce with humans but instead implant delusional beliefs, particularly the messianic complex central to Judaism and Christianity. Lash argues that modern alien abduction reports match precisely the Gnostic descriptions of Archonic encounters, suggesting these experiences represent ongoing interference by the same inorganic beings. Drawing from the Nag Hammadi library and other suppressed texts, he reveals how these cosmic predators simulate human experiences they cannot truly understand. The Gnostics viewed Earth as a living being under assault, with humanity caught between our divine potential and these parasitic forces. This forbidden knowledge challenges the foundations of Western religion while offering startling explanations for humanity's perpetual conflicts.
