First off, hey Roger! I always appreciate your comments, thoughts and the kindness, gifts you've shared over the years here :)!
Yeah, "archons" . . . "archetypes" such as Jung and the Gnostics allude to. . . . Well, I could write a proper book about my experience with that "realm". And I actually have referenced "it" "them"--that "realm" and it's influential characters there. It's in a lot of my lyrics, songs. For instance, in my song "Stealing Heaven" I have a line, "gargoyles shadow to smooth out the way" . . . which refers to that ("2nd heaven", "prince of the power of the air" realm and the legion of dis-embodied entities that are all too (diabolically) active, engaging with us here.
Until we enter the gates of Heaven, into His safety, those spiritual knuckleheads are a constant menace. One of their greatest and easiest tricks and subterfuge, is to mis-lead, allure, charm, impress etc., the egotistically-minded, and non (Spiritually) alert target into thinking that they are hearing from God; getting messages and direction and special revelation/visions. It's the fountainhead of all the cults, polytheism, false prophets, "seers" etc.
Oh, they are "spiritual", for sure! But that is where "discerning of the spirits/testing the spirits" indeed is SO critical, as I know you know.
Most of my life, actually, has been involved with just that particular interest, study and experience.
Everyone's is, of course, to varying degrees, as everyone has unique gifts, interests, inclinations, callings etc., as regards the general spiritual life of seeking Truth. I dare say, the especially blessed ones are gifted with a fairly quick recognition of The Truth, The Way . . . and then just get down to the business of doing God's work and serving The Lord in THIS mortal realm.
I don't consider myself in that category. Oh, YES, I've never doubted the existence of God and that GOD is the central purpose, pursuit and meaning to life ....(well, there WAS about a week when I was in 8th grade, just after my mom and my 2nd "dad" suddenly got divorced, where I considered atheistic answers) . . . . BUT, that lasted about a week, then I was back to seeking God and trying to find the "one true religion" or highest spiritual/philosophical path and teachings.
And thus, leaving no stone unturned, I sought and studied and practiced near every decently viable "religion" I could get my mind, heart, hands and soul on!
What WASN'T in the near vicinity, nor did I come across any example of, was simple BIBLICAL CHRISTIANTIY! It took a while before I finally found/was confronted with, (thank GOD!) that! He came and revealed Who He was, what I was, and that was the end of general searching for The Truth. Next followed searching and getting deeper and deeper into HIM, His Word.
Prior to that, I "tested the spirits" of the various types and teachings proffered in that general "spiritual" "2nd heaven" realm. The DETAILS of each and any so-called "path" to God differed on the surface . . . BUT (getting back to original subject here--"archons" and "archetypes" etc.,) it turns out, those differences are all superficial.
On the SURFACE they may appear stark and strikingly distinct from one another. For example, the practice of ZEN Buddhism contrasts with Catholicism, Mormonism ... and, "Eastern Orthodoxy" is quite different (apparently) than the faith of Islam . . . and yoga is unlike Shintoism; Sikhism vs. Advaita Vedanta and so on.
And, different spiritual "principalities", "princes of the airs", rulers of these multitudinous "spiritual" disciplines/religions/practices . . . DO lend their own flavor, style, protocols to each . . .
However, IN THE END, they are all just cults, false gods, idols. There are only TWO ways.
There is THE WAY on one hand, and ALL the other "ways" on the other hand.
Angels traverse and do engage from that realm where the fallen spirits, demons (for now) mostly operate. The angels, just like the demonic spirits (which I could call "archons", "principalities") are active in the 2nd heaven and here, but I dare, what most people experience, as far as overt, covert supernatural influence and interaction . . . is overwhelmingly coming from the dis-embodied demon legions who run rough-shod around and inhabit the 2nd heaven, at this time.
Lol, sorry . . . probably too much verbiage! Like I said, though, heh . . . yeah, I could write a fair little book on my experience and study of the realm where "archons" etc., operate from, and all the tricks of their trade.
God bless! Intense times!
[And. . . . Quite honestly, I've never been more "under attack" by that nefarious realm and it's wicked operators (and thus includes their mortal hosts/agents here) ever in my life! Definitely been feeling like I have a spiritual target on my "back" so-to-speak. "They" are doing the isolation, shunning, subterfuge, quashing, blocking, suppressing etc., full-court press!
It's made me wonder (just a bit) with this increasing intensity, if it's because time is short for all of us (the 2nd coming is truly nigh), or just MY time is short, and "they're" going all out to torment and disrupt and seek to destroy as fast as possible.
Of course, "THEIR" time is indeed short, and getting shorter, so, there is that factor as well. . . .
As in, they ain't got much time left to foist their chaos and malevolence, before the Great White Throne Judgment! Thank God!]
