Someone Else Promoting John Lamb Lash Gnostic Alien Archon Myth
Posted by MSH under: Ancient Astronauts; Gnosticism; john lamb lash .
Ah, wait a PaleoBabble feast this one is — a missive from a gullible Dr. John Singh in what I’m guessing is a Canadain version of the Weekly World News. I wonder if Dr. Singh ever actually checked the Gnostic texts to see if John Lamb Lash’s ideas are really there? Hmmmm. I’m betting the answer is no — but readers of PaleoBabble know better, since I posted videos of me looking through the digitized Nag Hammadi corpus (not exciting, but they’re the antidote for nonsense like this).

As one who incorporates authentic Gnostic scripture and praxis into my spiritual life, work, books and identity, John Lamb Lash is the bane of my existence. Thank you for contributing to continuing clarity in this regard.

I have not heard of this theory, sounds interesting, if not accurate. Although I would have to disagree about about Gnostic scriptures being uninteresting.

So are you against Gnosticism?

There’s nothing in the Gnostic texts that supports his thesis — that was the point of the videos.

I’m not a Gnostic.

Do you mean that the quotes in John Lash’s book are not accurate? Do you think he made them up. Is it a question of interpretation?
What would you say drives a culture to the brink of insanity if not a corrupt spiritual system?

This post is so old I can’t recall if it contains the videos of me searching through the Gnostic texts for the terms he uses. I believe it does — in which case, it’s not about a difference of opinion on translation – it’s about what he says is there not being there.
The answer to your question: the wish to be as gods and the assumption of elitism (spiritual or racial or intellectual), which is fed by and leads to more fascism and racism.

As I am reading the book Iam finding several Gnostic ideas discussed that rang with me. One being the notion of a Father, Son but no Mother, another was not do be as gods but to be truly human. The latter is discussed in detail. Did you read the book?

I did not make myself clear, it is crazy to leave the Mother completely out of the Godhead, and then force this lopsided belief onto the people. The violence with which this was done should be an indicator of what the patriarchal systems are really about.

the post wasn’t about the book, it was about his alien intrusion theory and attempt to link that to the Gnostic texts. What he has in the book isn’t much different from what he’s published before on this. With respect to the actual issue of the post, what he says isn’t in the texts. The rest is grist for other discussions.

where is the mother in Gnosticism’s “true God” that produced the archons?
