Metahistory.org does not specialize in ET/UFO phenomena, but the issues raised by this topic touch upon some of humanity's most deeply held and long-enduring beliefs. In this article, published in parallel with the French version, Alain Gossens of Karmapolis.be carefully explores the knotted nest of conceptual anomalies around beliefs in alien intrusion, a theme closely linked to the Gnostic Archons. He shows that the speculation around this subject, all too easily deemed unworthy of sane interest, challenges our basic beliefs and assumptions about the nature of life and human consciousness.
Possession and Predation
Aliens, Flyers, Clones, and Reptilians:
The Enigma of Extraterrestrial Parasites
By Alain Gossens of Karmapolis.be
Behind terms worthy of a horror film or a low-budget sci-fi thriller hides a fascinating and mysterious theme that may perhaps represent an ultimate challenge for the future of the human “soul”. It is very difficult to describe this subject in a rational way, a subject more than likely to provoke sarcasm. Yet, since we at Karmoplis.be began our inquiry into extraterrestrial phenomena, the history of religions and civilizations, and our research on anomalies and conspiracy theories, this theme about parasites in the human mind — i.e., the manipulation of the human being by an external entity, extreterrestrial or interdimensional — has hit us every time right between the eyes.
Recently our research has produced a symbiosis with John Lash, author of the site Metahistory.org. Like ours, his research considers the possibility that human beings are not entirely themselves, that human consciousness is infected and manipulated by a mysterious entity coming from the depths of the cosmos. You will say to me, Is this another wild idea? The idea of a foreign influence or extraterrestial influence on human consciousness is, however, not so bizarre. It is almost as old as civilization itself. In fact, some ancient mystics called “gnostics” made this idea a central theme of their cosmology. Ancient civilization and shamanic and esoteric traditions evoke this concept clearly in their myths, legends and traditions, often in oral lore possessing its own particular syntax. One also finds this idea repeated over and over again in contemporary accounts of abduction, mind control, and milabs (military labs).
The "New Sorcery"
In this article, we refer to the work of Carlos Castaneda, an anthropologist of obscure South American origins who established himself in southern California where he published a thesis on the use of plants (ethnobotany) by Indians of the Mexican-American border. In the course of his research, he encountered don Juan Matus, a strange man, a shaman, an adept of what Castaneda calls “the new sorcery.” Don Juan initiated Castaneda into a strange and far-reaching view of the reality of the world we inhabit. In the same vein, we evoke the knowledge of the Gnostics, mystics of the early Christian era, but decidedly non- Christian, who left an incredible legacy called the Nag Hammadi Library. To know more about the Gnostics and their writings, see the extensive writings on Metahistory.org .
The Topic of Topics
Maybe we’ve been wrong to look at these ancient creation myths with disdain as naïve stories that are mostly symbolic, if not mere fairy tales. Maybe we should re-examine ancient mythology and the oral shamanic traditions, considering them as testimony of concrete facts. Certain scenarios (for instance, the Gnostic texts of Nag Hammadi) present a vivid description of alien manipulation. At Karmapolis during our researches, we have often been confounded by this possibility of parasitism and predation, called “the topic of topics” by Castaneda’s teacher, don Juan — a characterization shared by John Lash. We find ourselve torn between pure and simple rejection of this hypothesis and the desire to know more, for this topic resonates to something profound in human experience, something that runs as deep as where we live and how we live.
Let’s recall what Castaneda says in his last book, The Active Side of Infinity, where the sorcerer don Juan tells him about such parasites and warns him against the kind of reactions people will typically have when we raise the possibility that our souls are manipulated by malevolent entities:
They’ll laugh and make fun of you, and the more aggressive ones will beat the ##### out of you. And not so much because they don’t believe it. Down in the depths of every human being, there’s an ancestral, visceral knowledge about the predators’ existence. (p. 221-222)

Karmapolis Interview with John Lash
(( French version
http://www.karmapolis.be/pipeline/interview_lash.htm ))
"Recently, our brilliant colleagues, Malou and Gerry Zeitlin of openseti.org, put us in touch with Karmapolis.be, a site that explores anomalies, theories of conspiracy, and beliefs concerning alternative realities. Alain Gossens, who operates the site with his partner Bruno Michelet, lives in Brussels, and so we were able to meet and talk about mutual interests. The result was a three-part collaboration with articles by Alain on alien predation, and by myself, on Gnostic parallels to Castenada, published simultaneously in English and French."
Karmapolis: We have been discussing the idea that a parasite exists and rules our mind. How can we demonstrate to our readership that this parasite exists and that the idea of “mental infection” is not delusional ?
JLL: Like an infection, the mental parasite would be detected by its symptoms. Malaria, for instance, produces violent symptoms caused by a foreign entity that invades the body. To think clearly about the parasites, we must consider that certain behavior, and certain forms of thinking, in particular religious ideologies, would be symptomatic of an infection or foreign invasion of the human mind.
Karmapolis: What is the nature and the origin of this parasite ? Is it a interdimensional intelligence? Is it possible that it takes an organic form?
JLL: According to the Gnostics, the parasites or Archons, as they called them, originate with the earliest phase of the formation of the solar system, before the Earth coalesced as a planetary organism. Their habitat is the solar system, exclusive of the Earth, moon and sun. They are inorganic forms with intelligence of an electrical nature – cyborgs, as we would say.
Karmapolis: The Gnostic Texts (Nag Hammadi Codices, NHC) describe the Eons and the Archons. To explain it simply to our readership, what are the differences between the Eons and the Archons ?
JLL: In Gnostic cosmology, Aeons or Eons are gods, deities, divinities. They are not creator-gods or point entities, however. They are rather like massive alive, aware, currents. They are the forces that form the central core of the galaxy we inhabit, the Pleroma. Archons are an anomalous species of inorganic beings that arise outside the Pleroma, in the limbs or arms of the galaxy. They are called Archons (from Greek archai, “elementary, from the beginning”) because they arise first, before the Earth is formed. Their bodies are formed of elementary matter (quantum fields) in a pre-organic state.
Karmapolis: Do you think that the flyers described by Castaneda and the Archons of the Gnostics are really the same thing?
JLL: Yes, I am convinced they are the same.
