the right environment to hatch and grow. I will remain here until I finish my part of this work.’
‘What is it that you are working on?’
He pointed to the pile of leather-bound manuscripts. ‘One day when the time is right these works will be discovered in clay jars and be called the Nag Hamadi scrolls. They are crucial to the survival of the human race.’
‘Why do they have to be sealed away?’
‘If they are not, we fear they will be intercepted, destroyed, or, worse, manipulated to serve the ones they seek to expose.’
‘Will you teach me about the fall of man? Why he is no longer the magical being he once was?’
Jahanbakh exhaled a long breath. ‘Ah, you want to know about man’s greatest foe: the Archons.’
‘The Archons?’
‘The primordial ones. Long before the sun, the planetary system, Earth or man was formed, they arose in the depths of the cosmos. A phantom species of inorganic cyborgs, they were spawned of elementary matter. Created in error these first androgynous entities resembled aborted human fetuses with oversized heads, huge eyes, and spindly limbs. These grotesque neonates, in their own bizarre way, were alive and aware, and through the fractal process of endless, self-repeating generation they emerged as a massive horde or ‘legion’.’
‘Are these neonates you speak of gray ?’ Black had once seen a documentary about the true-life stories of people who claimed to have been taken and tortured by creatures of a similar description. They had referred to them as the Grays.
Jahanbakh frowned. ‘Possibly. They are often pale in appearance and come in the night to abduct souls, but their appearances on Earth must be by necessity sporadic and brief since they are not designed to inhabit an organic environment. Their original habitat was inside the thread-like tunnels extending from the core of the constellation of the Hunter.’
Inside his head Black heard the translation. Hunter = Orion .
‘But as more and more of these shadow beings came into matter, a second variant appeared, an aggressive reptilian humanoid. One of them, a terrifying, lion-faced, serpentine bodied beast, upon first o pening his eyes, falsely perceived the limitless quantity of matter around him as his own creation, and arrogantly declared, “It is I, who am God, and there is no other power apart from me”
‘Endowed with the formidable powers of his divine beginnings, this fierce reptile-like mutation rapidly dominated the embryonic order and assumed the role of overlord. The entire Archon colony came alive under his demonic fire. But spiritually blind and fiercely territorial, he refused to obey the place from which he came. This caused the entire species to be cut off from the divine nutritive energy source from which they issued. Unable to generate their own energy the formidable shape-shifters had to become parasites in order to survive. Mind parasites.’
‘Mind parasites?’
‘Yes. Messengers of deception. They descended upon dying worlds like swarms of locusts and consumed them by forcing the invaded population to devolve to lower and lower states of vibration. By chaining those souls in the darkest of conditions of fear and slavery they secure themselves the energy of the invaded populations, not only to sustain themselves, but to enlarge their empire based on their essence of envy, hate, lust for power, selfishness, dishonesty, cunning, devastation, destruction, and domination by whatever methods available. Do you recognize this world I have described?’
‘Are you suggesting that our world has already been colonized by this alien intelligence?’
‘The greatest invasions happen in secrecy. Remember, the parasites must avoid exposure and rectification of their activities at all costs. They want to steal our inner light; and the best way to keep humans from claiming their own inner light is to give them delusional beliefs about their divinity. Who do you think is the arrogant, vicious,
