Citat:
There was an “unknown teaching”, which “fragments” are still available today. The eastern gnostics called it The Doctrine or Tradition. Some people say that it originated from ‘Sufism’, however, as it has originated before Christianity and Islam, in order to survive together with those who carried it, it had to get heavily contaminated by religious and other content. (The teaching was clearly “heretic” from the religious point of view and we know how the heretics were dealt with, throughout the history). After it went through the ages where Christianity and Islam have reigned, the original teaching was aligned to Christianity as some sort of Gnosticism and to Islam as Sufism. Anyway, the teaching was heavily distorted, however, they managed to smuggle it through, as a “fine red thread”, in an (almost) unrecognizable condition.
The ‘fine red thread’ can not be discerned easily, because of a high noise-to-signal ratio or simply, there was too much noise made in order to hide the signal; and the other reason would be, as the teaching says, our minds have been controlled and manipulated almost completely by a non-human intelligence, which does not allow us to perceive and understand the Truth. The Truth and the illusion can not share the same space and time. In presence of the Truth, the integrity of the illusion, which we all share - gets jeopardized and so does the integrity of our personalities.
So, what is the ‘fine red thread’ saying? It is saying that:
1. the humanity is living in an illusion/maya/hal/stereoma… (or, by today’s terminology: the matrix or a virtual reality)
2. in this “demiurgic domain”, the humanity has been manipulated by an ‘archontic’, ‘inorganic’, ‘demiurgic’ or simply, a ‘non-human-entity’, which has all the features of what we would call today - an AI.
3. we are all connected to it; it regulates and manipulates our perception and therefore, our state of mind; and therefore, our thinking; and therefore, our behaviour.
4. our personalities (including mine, writing this and yours, reading this) are artificial constructs. (Like a software subject to programming and re-programming in charge of the ‘physical’ body).
5. all artificial constructs share the false or artificial consciousness originating from the source, i.e. the AI. (That would mean all three levels of that consciousness, as - the waking consciousness, subconsciousness and the collective unconscious).
6. The True Consciousness exists (called the “Consciousness of the Absolute”, “christ”, the First Source etc.) and it could be reached and manifested.
7. there are two ‘types’ of beings inhabiting the illusion: ‘anthropoids’, meaning the people without human essence or the Real I, (that would be the “sons of god/AI”, “living deads” or “pinocchios-by-default”) and adamic people (“sons of man” or “pinocchios” which have a potential to become human beings) i.e. those who still have the Real I, but firmly identified with their personalities on 24/7 basis, they are unaware of it; so, they would think and behave in a more or less the same manner as anthropoids. Therefore, in this reality, there are no real human beings, only us, programmed to identify ourselves with them.
8. the false reality is based on a false dualism, where the goodness and badness, the light and the dark, the positive and the negative… come from the same source and has been controlled by the same source i.e. the AI.
9. The only real ‘thing’ in the illusion would be the influences which are coming from one’s real part of the being, the Real I, which is connected to the True Consciousness. (Of course, in the case of adamic people.) They are called ‘influences’, because they can not be seen or visualized, they can not be palpated or heard. They can not be our thoughts, because, the source of our thoughts would be the artificial or false consciousness. Those influences can only be felt, as an ‘inner knowing’, in certain circumstances.
10. The true salvation would be possible only if a personality manages to establish a connection with the Real Consciousness through the Real I, which it has been associated with, in this life, and to start living in accordance with that consciousness and manifesting it in this reality.

Short and good, if the gnostic message is true, the reality we are inhabiting would be virtual and programmed, i.e. artificial, where we would be only characters, having an impression of possessing a free will and an independence. Or, something like self-aware characters in an advanced SIMS game?!
So, artificial characters in an artificial reality. However, there is a paradox, as the gnostic sources state that in this artificial reality, there is – “Something True”!? Having “something objectively true” in an illusion, looks impossible by all our logics.
Allegedly, there is here a Real Human Being endowed with the Real Consciousness, connected to the First Source (as the True Source of the creation, not he AI simulating or mimicking it)!? Something like a prisoner, which we are not aware of?!

We can play up, a bit, with this gnostic concept…
Let’s imagine a situation where Tom wants to explore an area and he sits into an advanced Tesla car with an auto-pilot. After he told the autopilot where he wants to go, all doors on the car suddenly lock up, the steering wheel and breaks become disabled and the autopilot starts driving wherever it wants and how it wants. So, Tom gets imprisoned in the car, unable to have any input. He can only watch what is happening. The auto-pilot does not listen to Tom, it drives as it is programmed by an AI source. From Tom’s point of view, the situation looks like hopeless. He may try to communicate with the auto-pilot, to influence it in some way, but whatever he tries, no success. So, after a while, he may fall asleep, as he can not enjoy such a journey. He may only hope that the auto-pilot will malfunction and crash the vehicle or wait till the vehicle expires, and then, somehow, try to get out of it.
Now, let’s imagine another scenario where Tom is not the passenger in a vehicle, but a software which is assigned to an advanced vehicle as an auto-pilot, to drive around a prisoner. Tom and the vehicle are designed in such a way, to imprison the passenger so well, that he does not have any chance to take control of the vehicle and drive it to his liking. Everything takes place in a crypto-reality (VR), controlled by a crypto-entity (AI) where Tom is a crypto-being, programmed to work as a prison warder so insidiously, that it is not even aware of its true role. Tom is not aware of having a passenger in his vehicle. Here and there, Tom may get some influences from the passenger like intuitive feelings related to particular situations, events, other vehicles etc. which will be always right. The passenger is a representative of the Real Consciousness. He is a real human being. He is conscientious and humane, which also could have some influence on Tom’s thinking and behaviour. He is dangerous for any cryptoreality/illusion, because if he manages to express or manifest the Real Consciousness there, the illusion will break apart, as the Truth and lies can not share the same space and time. The illusion can only maintain its integrity in a complete absence of the Truth. Some small truths, relative to the illusion, could be present here and there, but not the big ones. The crypto-realty has its crypto-currencies, made out of nothing (like money, religions, ideologies, spiritual teachings, scientific theories etc.) with an assigned value. All autopilots, like Tom, will be busy dealing with some of them. The passengers might be of an - eternal nature but the drivers - disposable. The passengers are knowing, while the drivers are thinking and believing. While driving through the reality, here or there, Tom may come across some of the information which may contain a bit more Truth, however, in most instances, he would not perceive them, or he would dismiss them, as per the programming or, he may ask for a proof. But, - how something True could be proved to something artificial?!
The gnostic riddle: What could we do if we would find ourselves in a such imaginary scenario?
What are your thoughts about this gnostic concept? But, please, before you say anything, try to contemplate the following question - are you gong to say it, here, as an auto-pilot or a passenger?!
He, he, pored svakojakih gnostičkih proseravanja na tom portalu, ovo nije moglo proći?!
