All I know is that 2 Templars equal 1 Archon.

In NetHack, Archons were annoying little pests.

Aww....Post #1. Welcome to The Shroomery. Archons as in Gnostic religion? Or Archons as the Wachowsky's "Agents" in The Matrix trilogy (which is a modern rendering of Gnostic religion)? Both are mythic representations of psychospiritual 'forces' that frustrate the realization of spiritual freedom. The Book of Coming Forth by Day (The Egyptian Book of the Dead) has its own version of such spiritual 'wardens.' Of course, being pursued by 'demons' of any sort is one of the most common delusions of delusion-suffering humans. The psychological projected onto a metaphysical or cosmic domain is probably behind all of the historical Gnostic myths, if not all of religion. As archetypes of the Collective Unconscious (regardless of their particular names and cultures), Archons, like all mythic ideas are what our Collective Unconscious is constructed of. There is no getting rid of part of the substratum of the psyche. We ARE these archetypes in part. If one experiences them as separate and autonomous (just as the renegade agents in The Matrix), the we are experiencing (and perhaps suffering from) an 'autonomous complex.' Such a condition is perhaps best treated by a capable hypnotherapist or Jungian-oriented therapist or analyst IMO.

Markos, have you read Grant Morrisons "The Invisibles" btw?

Nope. I had to check Amazon to see what the series is about. Seems entertaining, but I'm in a different stage of life and I'm focused on returning to my first love after having first taken psychedelics, namely, philosophy. So I'm finishing a classic intro from 1923, Outlines of the History of Greek Philosophy by Eduard Zeller, to be followed by Pierre Hadot's Plotinus or The Simplcity of Vision. And speaking of archons, I'm still trying to work through Jean Baudrillard's Simulation and Simulacra from which the Wachowski's took Morpheus' expression "[Welcome to] the desert of the real." This was the hollowed out book where Neo kept his illegal software in the first Matrix film. I've temporarily shelved The Complete Works of Plato which I saved for retirement.
