The Gnostic culture is entirely new to me! I had heard about it before, but never read anything on it. Sounds interesting, for there seems to be an extense knowledge of the universe and its functioning there.
However, I wonder how they came up with the "Gauntlet of the Archons"!!
Come on, "evil" beings trying to keep us attached to Earth? Was that the outcome of a series of bad enconters with negs?
**Wrote my last paragraph before reading the whole Gnostic text. After looking through it, I see that they seem to correlate the "Archons" to the "Loosh collectors", never met Archons and neither did Monroe ever meet his collectors. AND, if those are, in fact, the collectors / guardians of the "loosh", then it is expected that they should look after their crops. Even if it means imprisoning us down here. So the Gnostics' point of view doesn't seem to be that much different from Monroe's. Sorry for the prejudgement, reading the whole text made it all clear.
The whole Loosh-collectors and Archons-and-their-gauntlet thing seems to have been "taught" to us by non-physical beings, but, according to Monroe and this Gnostic text, there are no actual reports of encounters with the entities.
In the Gnostics text, there is a comment regarding the fact that Monroe never again mentioned the Loosh thing, much less it's collectors. It sure is intriguing. Did he find out something totally disappointing? Are we in fact just the machinery doing the hard work of creating "Loosh", whatever that may be?
After reading about it in Monroe's book, I honestly wished he had exposed more on the subject, but he never did. Seems we'll have to do our own individual field research
--Has anyone ever asked their spiritual guides what that is all about?
I can't stop writing! haha new ideas keep coming up!
Regarding the nature of the "Loosh", whether it's love or something else, I can see it correlate with the following quote (from myself in another thread):
It could be that this sort of "universal love" that we produce here is a way of "channeling" or simply using/transfering energy, making it a candidate for the "loosh" category. (Universal love = energy, packed and ready to be harvested?)
Another possibility is that "loosh" is the energy created by humanity's united consciousness towards a common goal (creating a better world and all that it implies). I don't really know, I don't think I'm allowed to speculate more than that in a single post

QuoteI've heard a spiritualism expert in my country report a experience that reinforces this concept of "universal love" being linked to energy that I have exposed. (he gives out a bunch of lessons on all we talk about here, but they're all in Portuguese-BrazilIf anyone wants to look for some of his work, his name is "Wagner Borges" ). It goes this way:
During a group meditation practice, while he was setting up his students for their work, he noticed a man laying on the floor by his side. The man was dead, looked terribly pale, consumed and putrid. He had worms and other insects all around him, can you picture such a sight? Imagine this man's suffering, being dead for who knows how long and stuck to his physical all the time.
As he noticed the man, he couldn't help from feeling gross, but he managed to send him some energy form his heart chacra, in an attempt to help him. After some tries with no success, he noticed another being entering the room. This time, it was a beautiful woman with long black hair who simply SHINED LOVE. He felt a extreme surge of love and energy and received a message from her. She said that, when trying to help others, it is important to send out not only energy, but also love, since energy always follows love. Having said that, she took the man in her arms as if she were holding a child and went upwards, fading away. After his experience, he stopped his class and told his students about the amazing situation that had taken place just a few feet away from them.
It could be that this sort of "universal love" that we produce here is a way of "channeling" or simply using/transfering energy, making it a candidate for the "loosh" category. (Universal love = energy, packed and ready to be harvested?)
