The Cache Gnostic Folk Medicine  "Illuminism" is
the name that might be given to the path of initiation taught in
the Pagan Mystery Schools. The practices involved body-based mysticism
or, if you prefer, exploration of the body-mind link. The image
of Parsifal in a visionary trance suggests the initiate who communes
with nature and "downloads" the content of gnosis from
other dimensions.(Gravure by Jean Delville, c. 1885) Participants in the Mysteries consecrated all their work to the Magna Mater, the Earth Goddess, Gaia. For them, Gnosis was understood as a vital current as much as cognitive content. Learning to evolve, they understood a simple and essential truth: to live is to be healed into living.
Part One of a tri-une essay, The Promise of a Lonely Planet, Star Birth and Stimulation, is a further development of the Fallen Sophia scenario with emphasis on the generation of alien life-forms, the Archons. Alien Dreaming presents a description of the Archons, an inorganic species closely linked to humanity, with reference to embryonic formation and fractal geometry. This essay parallels Commentaries on the Gaia Mythos, Episodes 10 and 11. Coco De Mer, One, "The Human Role in Gaia's Dreaming," explores the Sophianic cosmology of the Gnostics, and proposes the experimental mysticism through which we can participate by attuning ourselves to the living Earth. Coco De Mer, Two, "The Shock of the Beautiful," considers the Gnostic mythology of Eros and the perversion of our Erotic faculties, which prevents us from communing spiritually with the sensory world. Includes an account of Socrates' initiation into the Mysteries of Eros by the wise woman, Diotima. Coco De Mer (in two parts) and Alien Dreaming belong to a trilogy of which the third essay is: How We Are Deviated (Preview) Forthcoming: The Alien Hypothesis - more on the Archon theory. When the Mysteries Died - a brief historical view of the lost spiritual heritage of Europa. Stay behind the medicine.
