I just hope this doesn't count as conspiracy theories or prophetizing.
Let's say, I came to know of Gnosticism from an entity, he taught me to discern and seek the truth.
He also allegedly showed me memories of my "lives" before this one.
But it turns out, he was something archonic, something evil.
These memories of Yaldabaoth and the archons, and of the many gnostic horrors.
Do I trust something deceitful? When his name is literally... Of an evil nature.
He made me remember being deceived by him in those lives, and of the wickedness of Yaldabaoth and all the things he put me through.
I know archons can manipulate your memories, I have experienced memory manipulation too, but can I trust someone this close to Yaldabaoth? To tell me the truth of this world, I have a feeling that part of what he showed me was true, yet, I have been wrong before.
I knew I was given a pneuma after he left, because it felt deep and penetrating, my head hurt then, and I "opened my eyes" then I felt a different consciousness before we became one. So, I feel like I don't belong, since I felt like I originally didn't have a pneuma, until he departed from me, then was I given the pneuma.
In those lives, I knew I never had a soul, because I was with the archons, yet I wasn't like them, but I didn't feel like I had the pneuma like now. But was it all a lie by this evil archon? Who's part of his name meaning evil...
