Archons and the Lines of Probability
As we have already discussed, in the Myth under consideration, the universe is conceived as a collection of countless scenarios, realities, or timelines, superimposed on one another and separated only by the so-called “barriers of perception” — foci of attention that define, describe, and fix each of these timelines as streams of mind.
We also said that each of these lines of reality is formed by minds of varying levels and degrees of artificiality, and the initial formation of the basis, the possibility of this manifestation, occurs under the influence of special forces or beings that are called “Archons.” They are the primary dreamers, whose dreams become worlds and universes as soon as another mind engages with them.
This is how participatory reality is formed: when other streams of consciousness connect to the Archon’s dream scenario and begin to reproduce it, the dream becomes a world filled with “inhabitants.” At the same time, each Archon forms the entire possible set of scenarios, many “levels of dreaming,” which are, for the beings experiencing them, their realities or timelines.
At the same time, the Archons exist in the Interworld, that is, within a dream; however, it is precisely under their influence that the dream strives for stability. Specifically, strictly speaking Archons do not create worlds; they dream them unknowingly, but these realities, virtual at first, become denser through the involvement of other minds.
We have already said that the Archons themselves are not predators; they are regulators of probability who, nevertheless, seek an even distribution of energy between worlds and spaces. They do not create timelines — they are generated by the Aeons — however, the Archons fix, filter, and permit only those branches of reality where energy flows fairly steadily, and minds do not exceed the limits of the given models of gemarmena.
At the same time, every action of an incarnated being, unaware and unintegrated into the pleromic nature, channels pneuma into the Interval, feeding the inhabitants of potential spaces and “closing” the cycle of creating/maintaining/destroying worlds.
And if, in some circumstances, a being or a group of beings begins to minimize energy leakage, then this timeline proves unnecessary for the Archons, because it does not fit into their “economy of sleep.” And then such a line collapses, is “extinguished,” gradually merging into a neighboring line, more “convenient” for the Archons.
The Archons shape event lines in such a way that even random decisions lead to results predetermined to favor them. Namely, the entire space of possibilities is somewhat “tilted” to one side — toward the outflow of energy from worlds — into the Interworld. This shows that even choosing the “side of good” in the gemarmena system usually turns out to be “unpromising” good — for example, unaware altruism, “spirituality” without transformation, yoga without metaphysics, and so on, all lead to the same result: energy is generated but not fully used by the beings, and therefore is “bled off” into the Interval.
As mentioned, every aware being is a node of probabilities. And at the moment of a key decision that “branches” reality, the mind chooses or forms the timeline in which it will continue to develop. It is clear that the Archons intervene especially at these moments, in order to amplify fear of change, generate doubt and intellectual resistance, or pass off the “phantom” of a desired future as already achieved (to create an illusion of development). That is, the influence of the Archons at bifurcation points consists in not allowing an “evolutive” choice, delaying or redirecting decision-making, and thereby keeping the mind in the shackles of gemarmena.
The Archons make clearly “noticeable” to the mind only those timelines where a being loses energy (low level of awareness, automatic routine), and “conceal” or obscure probabilities in which an exit beyond gemarmena is possible (for example, creative realization, self-transcendence, a breakthrough beyond the Edge). As a result, these alternative branches “collapse,” as if they do not exist, although at some stage of choice they were possible. Although, from a formal point of view, absolutely all probabilities and potencies of mind should be realized, the archontic influence consists in reducing the number of evolutionary timelines and, on the contrary, making the main trend the energy-dissipating streams.
At the same time, in potentially liberating timelines, inverse patterns emerge: for example, a person has an insight, shares it, and then they are ridiculed or isolated; as a result, they lose momentum and return to the “norm.” This is how not only everyday reactions are built, but entire cultural templates: “enlightenment is an illness,” “spirituality is a break from reality,” “magic is for losers.”
At the same time, as we have already noted, the Archons do not block desires, but paralyze the will, undermining the very structure of mind, disrupting its ability to make choices and self-realize. Their task is to limit the freedom of being, while not necessarily plunging it into suffering, but making it predictable, closed, energetically sterile.
Therefore, if a being wants to live in a different scenario (creative, free, magical), reality “resists” this, because all possibilities from the Interval are filtered by the Archons and are supplied only in forms that match their will.
In the gemarmena system, events are distributed so that any action leading to awakening “weighs” more; it requires enormous inner energy, whereas any action aimed at adaptation or “comfort” seems more attractive within the reward system (social approval, dopamine, stability). In other words, archontic reality looks like an “inclined plane” along which the mind slides toward the least costly behavior for itself and the most beneficial for the Archons.
In situations where the Archons fail to collapse an “energetically important” timeline, demonic interference is activated as well: the mind receives a false outlet — it is offered a path to realizing desire, but destructive. Such a timeline does not collapse, but becomes a dissipator of energy, feeding qlippoth.
A Magus crossing the Edge tries to “break through” into timelines that were “switched off” for the human path. He strives to go beyond the chain of probabilities that the Archons tried to “fold away” in favor of “routine.” Thus, each successful magical step is a flash, an unfolding of one or another “collapsed” possibility. Therefore, archontic pressure immediately increases — and the Magus has to hold this new branch of reality within his mind with all his strength, which, of course, is very difficult.
So, it turns out that there truly is no method against a battering ram? My situation of being ‘beyond the threshold’ was, in human understanding, very prolonged. The situation was ‘created,’ and then it was destroyed. My will was not present there. It was like Stirlitz on a date with his wife: a carefully concealed pocket in the Universe. It was as if entering backstage, where an entirely different performance is being prepared. Then all traces of this event vanished from the lives and memories of people, except for mine. But the event was too significant, and the energy was too powerful for it to be dismissed as ‘coincidence.’ Who ‘overcame’ the Archons? Respectable Enmerkar, who can withstand the Archons? Currently, the situation for me is closed and immobile. I would be grateful for any help.
Only the highest aeonic forces can resist the Archons; however, they are too exalted and transcendent to ‘care’ about manifested worlds. So, as they say, we are on our own here.
Hello, Enmerkar! Thank you for the article. How accurate do you think the assertion of a prominent modern occultist is that the system has the right to provoke a person no more than three times when they try to change their fate line in such a way that they stop feeding their designated probability line with their time, moving to another one? Or does the influence of the Archons not depend on the limitations of the governing egregorial environment in which a person resides, and is their influence more fundamental?
Hello! The experiences of the travelers known to me, as well as my own, indicate that obstacles on the Path arise as long as the Path itself lasts, and neither demons nor Archons ever get lazy, sleep, or ‘calm down.’
There is also a thing where the fabric of civilization has ordinary weavings, the weavings of the powerful of this world, and any civilization necessarily has a true school of magic with energies or, as you write, timelines that change the being of the soul and lead to a magical reality. When designing the future, the life of magical teachers in technogenic worlds is the highest step.
Are there strategies for holding or masking a timeline that is presumably undesirable for the system? Does conscious foolishness fit into this context?
Yes, theoretically such a ‘masking’ is possible, but it should be understood that any misstep that attracts the attention of the Archons can be fatal.
Good afternoon. Can we say that those people who oppose you by causing falls are not entirely acting on their own? Who directs them? What kind of forces?
The last cycle of your articles resembles a survival guide in the interworld. And it may even seem that this confirms the inevitability of many mages entering it. Either way, I have a question. How do the (non-predatory) inhabitants of the interworld fit into this system from the perspective of liberation and development? Including elves and mages. Can a mage or enlightened person generate power in the interworld? If so, how do the Archons view this?
No, generating energy in the interworld is impossible due to the very nature of this hyperspace, which contains all potentials and therefore does not allow for differences in potentials. Energy can only be pumped into it from worlds, and that too, only to a specific consumer (or chain of consumers).
Thank you. Could you then explain ‘the laws of thermodynamics’ in this context? The Archons extract worlds from the interworld. Where differences in potentials and energy generation are possible. But if the very interworld is balanced, then what serves as ‘the anti-world’? Or can the Archons generate energy?
‘The anti-world’ is any other timeline, also born in the interworld. The fundamental difference between worlds and timelines from the interworld is that the former realize only a certain set of possibilities, while the Interval contains all probabilities; thus, any world is always limited, and therefore energetically active, while the interworld is bottomless, and thus only potentially.
I apologize for my pedantry. I just don’t understand yet. Here we have a balanced system of empty interworld. Two worlds appear in it. The entire system remains balanced. But within the worlds, there can be differences in potential and the emergence of energy/movement. Why are the Archons interested in the emergence of this difference in the interworld, since it does not affect the overall balance? It is clear why lower-level entities are interested.
The interworld is not ’empty’; on the contrary, it is filled with all possibilities, and the worlds within it do not ‘appear,’ but rather are extracted, born from this totipotent Ocean. Therefore, the entire system is always balanced when viewed from the perspective of the interworld, but any world is a choice of probabilities, which naturally implies a rejection of alternative possibilities. Any world is always a process, becoming, and hence – frustration, a difference between the perfect and the current state. For the interworld as a whole, nothing changes, but its inhabitants need this energy, and the Archons, as the Rulers of the interworld, keep the worlds in a manifested state by creating this dissatisfaction, frustration within them, and precisely for this purpose, they ‘divert’ part of the energy into the Interval, thus also ‘taking care’ of their charges who consume these energy surpluses. If there were no leaks from the worlds, they would quickly reach perfection, and their inhabitants would leave for the Pleroma, abandoning ‘Archon’ spaces. So the Archons preserve the dream, maintaining a balance between worlds and the interworld.
I am deeply grateful for your response. The aeons were a pure abstraction for me before this. Now this concept has gained a much more concrete meaning, if one can say so. And does the Monad ‘care’ about manifested worlds, or is it also very, very far away?
The Monad is largely an abstract concept that has more epistemological than ontological significance.
Thank you. I am very grateful.
Good afternoon, one more question, what is fate – in your opinion? How changeable is it? Is there fate? Or is fate formed by the surrounding environment?
Hello. ‘Fate’ is the totality of ‘ripe’ potentials for realization and debts to be paid; changing it simply means transferring these realizations or payments to subsequent incarnations.
What does the repayment of a debt look like? How does it happen? How is it distinguished from other problems?
Hello! Since the Archons are not demons, nor evil, but merely regulators of probability flows, minimizing ‘energetically disadvantageous’ dynamics for the dream structure of reality, isn’t the opposition to them (the magical path, breaking through the threshold) not so much a struggle against an external enemy as a metaphysical rejection of the very nature of the cosmos as a universal system of maintaining homeostasis?
Hello! Indeed, Hemarmen, the power of the Archons is not attacks or aggression, but the maintenance of natural energy flows. Strictly speaking, they do not ‘fight’ mages – they merely adjust the homeostasis of dreams, which must continue so that the entire configuration of participatory reality does not collapse. In this sense, the Archons are not executioners, but forces of ‘immunity’ in the interworld that respond to violations in the body of the dream. Thus, a mage on their Path does indeed enter not just into a confrontation with the Archons, but into a conflict with the very architecture of the cosmos as a stable system, which is maintained by suppressing too deep fluctuations. And from this point of view, indeed, any successful magical act creates an anomaly, a zone of high energy activity, disrupting the background balance. This means that such an act requires compensation, which is provided by the Archons (or other forces). But for this very reason, every true Mage is a creator of a new dream, which may also become a new world.
The role of the Archons should be viewed from the perspective of consciousness development. If the consciousness is undeveloped, as they say, lacking shame or conscience, then it simply needs the control of the Archons. By the way, another name for the Archons is mental controls. For developed, ethically balanced individuals, they become a hindrance, a brake, and even a nuisance. By the way, the very architecture of the cosmos is based on the principle of survival for all; there is a place for everyone in the worlds. A mage does not violate this architecture if their actions do not harm others.
Such vague doubts torment me – is the influence of mages, their contribution to changing the balance not exaggerated? Compared to wars, animal killings (well, cows, for instance). Why is there no resistance from the Archons in this case?
Oh, I am familiar with them! They appeared to me in a dream, looked like two brothers, started to suggest something to me, and then began to shake my body with convulsions. I was so astonished that something like that was possible that I asked them to repeat it. There was another attack but with less intensity. And in the end, they said: ‘You will learn how not to obey the Archons!’
Yes, you have a good article, right on time, one could say, such a bold punctuation in my ten-year struggle against these Archons. I knew nothing and understood nothing about what monsters were causing havoc by destroying my life. And the most important thing – why??? I didn’t do anything bad; I’m not even interested in magic; I’m not trying to push myself beyond the threshold. All my actions are reflections and analysis based on publicly available information and dreams. And yet they attached to me like bath leaves, bothering me in every sense. The worst thing is my mutilated and maimed dogs. First of all, they blind them, destroying their pupils and irises. Well, to prevent the expansion of my branch. I have my own scores to settle with these moral monsters.
It’s me again. Perhaps I’ve said enough already, but I don’t know of other resources where this topic can be discussed. I have one question. The thing is, I communicated with the Archons, well, as I communicated, a broadcast of their thoughts was organized. The main conclusion I made is that they do not understand our reality. I mean absolutely! They have their own dream, which is completely different from what we see and experience. So the question is: how did they get here? How can they regulate something that is totally unclear? Who allowed them to such a level of control? Their competence lies in the physical-biological functions of the body. That’s where their ergonomics come in handy. Everything is arranged as they need – predictability, orderliness, limitation, uniformity. But in people’s lives, everything is not like that! How could they be allowed to control an environment with entirely different data? I tend to think that their guidance over our lives is that very original catastrophe that is referred to periodically. They should not be here! Or rather, they should not be manifested in this reality. Apparently, they are currently under strict control, as their level of development and their attitude toward people is such that we would have long since flown into another Ragnarok.
Please tell me about your experience communicating with these beings. As detailed as possible. I am extremely interested in this. I want to compare it with my experience. More details about their thinking and what they regulate. Goals.
Thank you
The Pleroma is something like infinite love as a sensory experience. And what to do with the brains?.. The ability to work with information accumulated over many, many years of existence in the worlds. What to do with this? So the worlds will not go into any Pleroma. Development is essentially one-directional – only forward. However, introducing powerful endless energies of love into the worlds is a very useful and exciting goal for continuing existence in the worlds.
Undoubtedly, existing ‘on the edge’ is extremely interesting. One could drown in ‘eternal bliss,’ probably.
Connect your brains with your heart))
So it turns out the Archons are like managers of the interworld)) Are there any descriptions or ideas about these Archons, how they ‘look,’ subtypes and varieties, who is responsible for what? I mean, can they be equated to the same Snow Gods or is this stretching an owl on a globe? The ancients described by Lovecraft – are they about the Archons, although everything is mixed up there…? If the Archons simply minimize entropy through calculating probabilities, do the same Fomorians just want there to be no well-formed, stable worlds at all? Can we say that they, in some sense, initiate or participate in Pralaya when the world as a stable whole dissolves? P.S.: Are Archons generally responsible for the creation of any stable dreams (they provide the basis on which the cosmos is woven) or only for the creation of physical worlds? Is the physical world also a dream, just very dense?
If we imagine some path from the Pleroma to our current state of being, then this path will represent many layers of consciousness involving an ever-increasing number of consciousnesses in its scope. Therefore, it can be said that we have never left the Pleroma; currently, it is simply called the intrauterine state of bliss. From this point of view, the worlds are not dreams; the worlds are ways of perceiving oneself and others.
Yes, the images of the Archons are known and widely described: https://enmerkar.com/en/myth/archons-and-gates
I would add that to understand the nature of the Archons, this boundary of worlds, it is useful to know two principles: 1. There are two types of relationships between worlds: mother-child (when one world includes another, for example, Planet-continent-climatic zone), and brother-sister (when worlds, so to speak, are neighbors, such as different schools, jobs, etc.) 2. This is the rule of transition between worlds. Due to the aggressive nature of the interworld, such transitions are only experienced by special types of formations – crystallizations (in Gurdjieff’s terms). Something that cannot be destroyed (like a diamond, right?). Considering the interworld as a boiling chaos (an unstable coordinate system), it can be assumed that crystallization will be an invariant – that is, a mathematical object that remains constant in all reference systems. There are several of them. For example, Truth, Justice, Will, Love. One of the most universal symbols of such a concept will be – Light. The two principles work together like this: every day we fall asleep, diving into relative interworlds, and only thanks to the crystallized point of support – our body – do we awaken ourselves. This is how we transition into the next day (our new world) and carry over the “useful” that we have learned.
Greetings.
Do archons influence in the way described in the Strugatsky’s story “A Billion Years Before the End of the World” or do they influence consciousness only at the moment of choice?
Hello. Indeed, the influence of Archons is quite close in nature to what the Strugatskys describe in the story “A Billion Years Before the End of the World”. Archons not only intervene directly at the moment of making key decisions, but also constantly maintain a general restraint of perception in which the consciousness ‘leans’ towards choosing paths favorable to them. They create a hemarmen – conditions in which ‘undesirable’ evolutionary decisions are seemingly ‘felt’ by embodied consciousness as unfavorable, dangerous, dubious, or simply inconvenient. This influence is similar to how, in the Strugatsky’s narrative, the Universe itself subtly and unobtrusively resists discoveries capable of radically changing the course of history. Characters encounter inexplicable obstacles, strange coincidences, intrusive doubts, disruption of the usual rhythm of life, and domestic troubles. This is a typical Archontic style of influence: they create an illusion of natural resistance from the environment, erect ‘random’ difficulties and discomfort, complicating the way out of hemarmen, as their goal is to unobtrusively redirect consciousness towards paths of development that generate enough life energy but do not transform it – into awareness, ‘draining’ it into the gap.
