Lately I’ve been really fascinated with something called Archons. The word archon comes from the Gnostics and they are described to be some type of entity that has influence over us. From what I’ve read and heard they seem to be more like thought forms that could be considered the principalities and powers of the air as described in the Bible. This is my understanding of it anyway.
Recently I was listening to a shaman and anthropologist Hank Wesselman, PHD. He is one of those rare, cutting edge scientists who truly walks between the worlds. You can visit his website at http://www.sharedwisdom.com/. In this talk he read from one of his books about his encounter with a jinni (genie). Below is Dr. Wesselman’s account of his encounter.
We were in a room and I was drumming for the group. I instructed people to go back to a place we had been to already, to reconnect to that place and connect with the spiritual guardians or the spirits that were living in that place to see what we could learn. So I went back to this shrine (they had been to as a group in Egypt)… I brought up the memory of the shrine in my mind while I’m drumming with my eyes closed and I project my consciousness and awareness back into that shrine using the drum as lift off… This time there were 2 eye balls and since this did not intimidate me, this smoky, vague form took shape in front of me, and it turned out there was a jinni living in this shrine and I had this very interesting conversation with this jinn. The first thing I did was to trick it into giving me it’s name because once I knew it’s name it couldn’t lie to me. I asked the jinn if there was anything that it wanted. In the silence that followed, the image of the carved altar in this shrine came up in my mind’s eye and in response the jinn’s field, it sort of had an energetic field with pastels and greens and yellows and blues. The answer came almost shyly, “Honey.” It wanted honey. I digested this request. I couldn’t have come up with that in a million years. I was being watched by this spirit in the same way a cat watches you just before you feed it, with that same intensity that cats have. And so what I did was use my creative imagination to create a bowl of honey…and as I put the honey on the altar I said, “I will give you this honey if you tell me your name.” As it took the honey and drank gratefully, the jinn’s name appeared in my mind and then satisfied the jinn turned its attention fully towards me and we had this really interesting conversation. The jinn opened by saying, “You humans are creators, we the jinn cannot create anything but we can mimic. We can imitate and we can affect potential outcomes but we cannot create. Few can perceive us anymore and fewer still can bind us to their will. Now that I have told you my name, you can ask me to serve you and I will.”
This isn’t going on in Arabic or English. This is all going on in think/feeling. It’s all going on in nonverbal communication.
I asked the jinn what qualities and abilities it possessed which might be of service to me. The jinn kind of flickered thoughtfully and then answered, “I can protect you from enemies and I can inflict curses and misfortune on those who oppose you.” My response was to say that I am constrained within my practice from afflicting harm on anyone for any reason… “How about healing work” I asked. “Who can say what is written on another person’s soul. We cannot purposely influence their destiny without tampering with our agreement.” “Agreement with whom,” I said. “With the higher organizing intelligences.” I asked, “Are the jinn below them in the spiritual hierarchy?” The jinn responded, “Oh yes. Some of the younger jinn occasionally misbehave and the watchers will approach them and encourage them in more appropriate forms of expression.” This led me to ask, “Who are the watchers?” “The ones among the higher intelligences responsible for this world. We’re not allowed to interfere with the humans on their path. Although there are some who do as well as those who function as adversaries…” I asked, “Are those the ones the Gnostics call the archons?” The jinn’s response was, “Oh so you know about them? The archons are not true spirits but are mind beings. They are mental entities. Many of whom were created by humans as thought forms. Many of these function as attachments as mental parasites.” So I asked, “How do they do that?” The answer was, “They feed on the energy, on the attention paid to them by humans. This includes the energy generated by human belief systems. But they are not true spirits and will cease to exist if no one pays attention to them anymore. The ones you call the archons are those that we call the deceivers. And like us they are not creative. They can mimic and they can take on forms in response to human belief systems.” I thought about it at some length and then I asked, “Are they the ones we call aliens or extraterrestrials?” The jinn didn’t appear to understand the question so I explained. Its response was more than interesting. This is what the jinn said, “The deceivers can take on many forms drawing from the belief systems of humans and there are also visitors who come from other places.” “From other worlds,” I asked? “Yes.” “Who are they and why do they come here?” “They are the others and they come here as visitors.” “Why do they abduct humans and perform experiments on them.” “They don’t. It is the deceivers who do that.” “The deceivers? Why do they do that?” “Humans are greater than the deceivers. The deceivers you have called the archons, wish to become more like humans but they cannot create, they can only imitate and the only power they have is derived from humans. Humans have power and the deceivers want that power.” “Why don’t the watchers as you call them inhibit the archons, the deceivers, from interfering with humans?” Here’s the answer, “The deceivers are not spirits. They live in the human mind so the watchers cannot affect them.” I considered this at some length and then asked some more questions.
“How long will you remain in this shrine?” Again the jinn did not seem to understand the question so I rephrased it. “This is my place.” Then I asked, “If I travel here in my spirit form in my dream body to this place the way I have done right now, will I find you here?” “Yes.” “Why do you remain here instead of going someplace else?” “This is my place.”
Then I mentioned to this jinn that some years ago I met a jinea, a female jinn, in the desert to the south of where this place was and that she was of service to me in an interesting way and I asked if he know her and he said, “Yes, all the jinn know each other.” I asked, “Can you tell me her name.” “No.” “Can you convey my greetings to her as well as my respect?” “Yes but you can do that yourself if you have a connection with her.” “I’ve not felt a connection in many years,” I said. “Time is not in the spirit world. All time is now.” Then I asked, “Do the jinn exist elsewhere in this world beyond the deserts of Egypt and the Middle East.” “Yes.” “What are they called?” “I do not know,” was the answer. “We are the jinn earth bound spirits. We live where we wish.” “Where do the jinn come from?” “The jinn are manifestations of the great spiritual force that the Gnostics called the Sophia. Everything that exists on this world exists as manifestations of the Sophia.” “Who or what is the Sophia?” “She is the soul of this world.” “Does she have a physical aspect,” I asked? “Yes..this world is her physical aspect.” “Where did the Sophia come from?” “She came from the center of…” (and the jinn used a strange term to me and in asking for clarification I was given to understand that the Sophia came from the core of our galaxy. “Is the Sophia a goddess,” I asked? “I don’t know,” the jinn said. “She emerged from (used the strange term again) as a river of conscious light. She dreams and all that she dreams comes into manifestation.”
