This is my second blog on the Anurag Sagar.
As I read this book I can’t help but think the idea of Loosh came from this work. It says that Kal’s food source is the human *soul!
An excerpt :
When all the souls have gone to Sat Lok, how will my hunger be satisfied?
And this:
There I will create such karmas and illusions that nobody will find the way out.
So these quotes are the demiurge speaking in the first person. Sounds like Loosh to me. The second one sounds like Samsara, Maya, Matrix.
Perhaps one can understand why I call this place a ‘deceptive construct’.
I ended my last blog on Kabir with this excerpt:
The path of Rambh Doot is that particular distortion of Sant Mat which can be called “intellectual non-dualism.” The Masters, including Kabir, teach the basic unity of the universe and the ultimate identification of the liberated soul with God; Rambh Doot is teaching that the bound soul is one with God [and that there is no God other than it),and therefore needs no initiation, no Master, etc. This teaching also ignores the inner planes and the existence of the Negative Power: these, like initiation, etc., are seen as dualistic and therefore inferior. The result of this teaching on its unfortunate devotee is the compounding of the illusion: since he is already awake, why should he make any effort to wake up? He lulls himself back to sleep with affirmations of his awakenedness.
Anyone familiar with my take on spiritual metaphysics knows I’m critical of the non-dual schools (especially modern neo-advaita) and this passage offers a glimpse of why. But a bit about Kabir. My research shows he did not write this work although the verbal passages are attributed to him. Apparently, one of his lineages (disputed) was Guru Nanak and the Sikhs. I acquainted myself with a general overview of their beliefs in the ’90s, and I even checked out services in their temples. Vancouver has a large Sikh community and I often worked for them so I was curious on multiple fronts. My reading is Nanak omitted Kabir’s metaphysics concerning the demiurge. I’d also add that to say Sikhism isn’t a religion today is completely disingenuous. And there is no other religion that idolizes their holy book more than the Sikhs.
And then there was Kirpal Singh. And it’s here that things get interesting to me. These teachings explicitly state that one cannot attain the highest state of consciousness without the aid of a master. Yet, Singh, while alive, said that he had not met one other single master! AND THIS IS A PROBLEM, isn’t it? I’ve quipped many times that when it comes to supernaturalism Elvis has left the building and when it comes to masters Singh seems to have said the same thing. Eastern mystic gurus are some of the biggest abuser grifters out there although that shouldn’t be too surprising as this book says that that will be a trademark of Kal’s work in this Yuga. But still, if Singh was right about the masters then we are in deep Kali doo-doo. In addition, I’d ask why the game of hide and seek from a Tri-Omni god? Why do these masters look like Tricksters more often than not?
This comment of mine unpacks the problem here:
Let me attempt to explicate some problems here from a modernist spiritual perspective. In games there are always associated rewards when one crosses any threshold within the game. And similar to golf one has to be able to demonstrate proficiency within the public sphere. It doesn’t work to claim one can shoot 4 consecutive rounds of 59. These words are meaningless without public demonstration. Unfortunately, today, in contradiction to the supernatural claims within these religious/spiritual books, said supernaturalism is non-existent, especially within the public domain. Which leaves us solely with phenomenology. But this too does not come with any objective or empirical associated rewards like one sees in almost every type of game. EXP.: Say one attains mastery over the first Jhana. What would make this coherent in the same manner as any game is if the mastery came with an objective empirical correlate like LEVITATION. So everyone who masters the first Jhana can display empirical levels of levitation. But this isn’t the case, is it…Everything is solely phenomenological. And it’s here that every kind of scam, Ponzi, falsity, and deceit, can and does infiltrate all spiritual paths and claims. Not to mention the likeliness of every type of gaslighting especially within cultures that lean towards theocracy as a societal structure. I’ve just blogged on The Anurag Sagar and it has something to say about the nature of this existence that does not jive with the metaphysics presented in this video…
We should note the world’s religious traditions all claim to be written by supernatural godmen and all contain incredible stories of supernaturalism while all being internally and comparatively contradictory. All I’m doing is pointing out the inconsistencies of the claims.
I’d like to flesh out the difference between Christian Gnostic metaphysics (that I subscribe to) and the metaphysics commonly associated with Singh and the Sikhs. I’d cautiously state that Monism is the ultimate reality with the caveat that the origin monad did not create this particular physical universe so in a sense it is not causal although all things did ultimately spring from it. The first thought or action of the origin monad was called forethought known as **Barbelo. From Barbelo came forth the Word or Naam. But from the syzergy of Christ via Sophia a cosmic error was birthed and this is known as Yaldabaoth/Kal and it was this architect that is the origin of this particular material universe. Can you see how the original Monad is not causal within this context? And I’d add this view is similar to Samkhya in the Vedas.
Let me wrap this up with some thoughts on India. I’ve mentioned previously that I found it odd that the Vedas did not reference the demiurge nor dealt with the Jewish Question. Yes, I recently found Kabir. I wouldn’t suppose to guess what India would look like today if it had not been colonized and taken over by the East India Co. in modernity with its corporate economic fascism. See Miles Mathis for who was really pulling the strings in that regard. But these bad actors would never have supported or financed any Indian tradition that would have been a threat to them. So it’s likely they targeted and buried any Indian tradition that went against their agenda. Add to this the worldwide Noahide Law system that the rabbis want wherein all religions will become subservient to the Hebrew temple in Jerusalem and this system will merge with a worldwide economic system known as the beast in Christianity. It’s here especially that I find most Vedic schools problematic.
NOTE* if reincarnation is true then something similar to the idea of self does exist although it is likely more the matter of what self one identifies with.
NOTE** Nanak also describes forethought as the Great Mother but I prefer the Great Grandmother as there is (IM0) less gender involved in very old age, so in a sense, very old age is similar to an androgynous state (loosely speaking). I think Sophia is a better fit for the Great Mother but again, in my view, this place is more a darkened womb rather than the lighted womb of higher planes. I’ve said in previous blogs that the feminine aspect of Yaldabaoth is Sophia’s shadow–Lilith. I’ll add here that Singh seems to very much have distanced himself from Kabir’s view of Kal and this construct. So Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are to him not antagonistic to the original origin monad. It’s here I disagree and Kabir, in the Anurag Sagar, makes it pretty clear that this Trinity is corrupted which is my view.
Just a note that my critique isn’t with how Nanak lived. He tilled the soil and sowed the seed within a community very similar to the Amish. In my view, no true spirituality moves much beyond this and everyone in the community should share in the labor and reap the benefits as equally as possible. Believe me, the money lending cartels know this and it’s a major reason that they declared the land as Crown and removed people from sustaining a living from it with their own work.
But I’m not going to honour falsity in the form of religion especially when patriarchs like David and Solomon were ripped from 18th dynasty pharaohs. And that lie in the Torah means Christianity and Islam are false when they bow to this false narrative. I can point anyone to Marcion within the Christian sphere for a Christianity that is tenable with truth.
These were my comments as I listened to this/their discussion. I unpack it a tad more in the video…
Is the starting point for the demiurge framed as Greek metaphysics intentional misdirection? Even intermediate researchers know the idea was pre-Greek and likely birthed in Egypt (Ptah is where the name Egypt comes from). I’ll have to see where Sledge goes with this to assess whether this video is going to be mostly misdirection. But this first basic point seems to point in this direction.
‘never let your enemies define you’…AMM riffing off the (Hebrew) Corleone!
It’s looking like I’m not wrong here. In answer to where is the origin of th evil creator god idea Sledge points to the Alexandrian Yahwehist’s. But the idea had its genesis with the Persian religion as it intersected with the Egyptian pantheon. It’s easy to see why the Persian kings flipped the character of the Egyptian Ptah…
Sledge is not wrong about Set but it’s a later iteration after the Persian ideas.
From Sledge’s reading it would be fair to describe the current occupants of Israel as ‘Asiatic’…IOW’s today, in Israel, Semitic people from Canaan are who he describes as ‘Asiatic’… I leave it to the reader to unpack this.
On the *Law: Christ was not referencing the ‘genetic Hebrew version’ of the Law but was rather referencing TIME and Chronos/Demiurge. Think of it as the Vedic Dharma (loosely speaking). This is not necessarily an endorsement of any of the New Age ideas surrounding this one. See my blog on the ANURAG SAGAR for more unpacking on this point.
Sledge is correct that Christianity as Gnosis did borrow from the Egyptian schools. But he omits that JUDAISM IS EGYPTIAN SPIRITUALITY! See my blog where I show this to be a fact within the context of general theistic ideas.
Overall, a decent podcast. Thank you…
Some notes on the video:
Symbiotic was the word I was looking for…
Unscathed was the word I should have used at the end.
A point of fact in that regard: the demiurge was known as the patron of the disabled in Egypt. That I have become since I put up andrewmarkmusic…In fact, a lifetime of good health ended within 30 days of putting up my website. And my latest injuries were no accident and were caused by you know who…
NORE* from the Anurag Sagar
TRAPPED BY KAL
How could a soul sent by Sat Purush from Sat Lok be trapped by Kal? This question bothers Dharam Das too, as we shall see. One of the functions of Dharam Das in this poem is that of Everyman- Dharam Das means “Slave of Law” and that is what we all are: he came from Sat Lok and got trapped by Kal, and so did we all; the Master came specially to love him and bring him back, and so He does for all of us.
I found it! Christian Gnostic teaching in India!
In a previous blog, Christian Gnosis and Hinduism, I suggested that tradition didn’t teach these ideas– at least not openly and overtly. I mentioned that the Vedas were not concerned per se about the problem of evil. Still, this writing addresses theodicy fully and completely and places the issue squarely on the shoulders of the demiurge.
But a Gurudev named Kabir in the 13th/14th Century did pass on a treatise that is very similar to what the Christian Gnostics were saying. In this case, I’d argue that the Valentinian school of gnosis is very close to what Kabir taught.
From a modern alien/UFO perspective and at first glance it may not be a coincidence that the work starts with ANU! See Wes Penre who I’ve linked to previously for an investigation down that rabbit hole.
I’m not done reading this work but there are the usual claims to incredible supernaturalism within it and within that context, it kind of reads like the Urantia Book. There is that nit-picky issue of a Gurudev who was not born of a human mother asserting things that are considered unscientific today. The Urantia book suffers from the same problem. And yes, both treaties on metaphysics contradict on multiple fronts. Let’s put these not-small issues aside in this blog.
Kabir is another who claims nonhuman descent very similar to the ideas put forward by the early Marcionite church which taught that Christ showed up on earth as a fully formed adult in 29AD (probably looking like a 29-year-old man). The RCC and the Archons have made sure that tidbit of information has been wiped from HIS story– which in this case is named* KAL–the gnostic demiurge– AKA the poser god of the Torah also known as Chronos/Time/Yahweh/Enlil, etc…
Of course, from the Christian Gnostic perspective, all the fog clears if Marcion was right about Christ being non-Hebrew and not representing the god of the Torah (demiurge) but rather was here to confront the deception of Kal/Yahweh and the deceptive nature of the construct it created. And just for the record (FWIW) I hold the Docetist view on Christ as I think he only appeared human and of course, it’s laughable that the archons could murder the Aeon Logos (NAAM)…But some cosmic event did happen 2000 years ago– it’s just we cannot get to the truth of what happened by books written by the lying archons and their minions.
The N.T. wasn’t their first lie as the only real evidence for King David and Solomon were the Egyptian Hyksos Hebrew Pharaohs Tuthmosis 111 (David) and Amenhotep 111 (Solomon). See my blog,
Judaism is Egyptian Spirituality for many links and sources for this view on who the patriarchs really were. And just a note that if your Christian Gnosis does not incorporate this very specific point as foundational then it is a FAKE GNOSIS! Youtube is full of them.
This excerpt is something I’ve mused on for some time:
SECRET OF MY EXISTENCE: if no one knows of the existence of the Negative Power, then his actions will be ascribed to the Positive Power, as indeed they often are. Kal’s disappearance is tied up with his injunction two lines below: the most efficient way for him to prevent the worship of Sat Purush is to pre-empt it for himself, by allowing people to think he is Sat Purush. This is a pivotal point, and one of the main keys to the meaning, not only of the poem, but of the universe which the poem explains.
This reminds me of The Usual Suspects: the best way for the devil to hide is to pretend to be god (a loose interpretation). Although from the perspective of modern consciousness studies, I’ve agreed with the idea called Macro-Cosmic-Panpsychism–this is the hidden ‘demiurgic mind’ that is the Genesis of this material universe. Just a note that there is also micro-panpsychism which is a type of proto-sentience and according to this work I’d suppose the avenue for lower life form reincarnation.
Also a very important excerpt:
VEDAS: The Vedas, the most holy scriptures of Hinduism, are the Crystalization of the whole idea of religion as an expression of law (dharma) and hence originated with Dharam Rai (KAL). Their teaching is concerned with getting what one wants, and keeping this or that god from being angry with us, through various methods of sacrifice or manipulation of the gods. It is a great mistake to assume that the Vedas proper are a spiritual document; they are not. At a later date under the influence of the Masters of that time, the writings known as the Upanishads were added to the Vedas as a kind of spiritual appendix, but that is not what is referred to here. All Indian Masters from Buddha onward have been very consistent in this: that the Vedas are to be ignored and transcended.
Dharam Rai is another name they use in this work for KAL (demiurge) and this line explains my first sentence and why I was confounded that the Vedas didn’t cover the ground of the demiurge. DANG! The Vedas were written by Kal and his Archons! Although this IS something I’ve intuited for a long time.
On the creation myth: it is very similar to the story of Barbelo who is said to have birthed all existence and there is a conversation between Kal/Yaldabaoth and the Great Mother Spirit Barbelo/Adhya wherein Kal gets furious that he cannot access the Father Spirit of the Pleroma (so he copies it).
And this excerpt which is something I’ve intuited for a long time:
THE WORD OF SAT PURUSH:
The original gift of the lower creation to Kal. One of the attributes of the Holy is that it is vulnerable, in the short term, to the activities of the unholy. The lower creation was given to Kal as a trust: the trust was betrayed, but, because of the nature of God, it could not be rescinded; it could only be adjusted to. Ultimately the souls who appear to be caught in the middle will not be the losers; they too will benefit from the Father’s love. Just as He loves Kal and will not betray His word to him, so does He love us and won’t betray His word to us: as Blake puts it, “Eternity is ever in love with the products of Time.”
Many of our theological quagmires can be solved if we factor in that we exist in a ‘quarantine zone’…
More to come on this, I think.
NOTE* from a secular study of historic attestations it at least offers a coherent possibility of why there are ZERO first-hand accounts of the life of Jesus as written. In the backwoods of a troublesome Roman province and for only 3-years it becomes somewhat more plausible why no contemporaries wrote about him. The fact is that the gospels are copies of copies and are dated hundreds of years after the life of Jesus (whoever he was).
Sept 11th add-on.
RAMBHDOOT The path of Rambh Doot is that particular distortion of Sant Mat which can be called “intellectual non-dualism.” The Masters, in- cluding Kabir, teach the basic unity of the universe and the ultimate identification of the liberated soul with God; Rambh Doot is teaching that the bound soul is one with God [andthat there is no God other than it),and therefore needs no initiation, no Master, etc. This teaching also ignores the inner planes and the existence of the Negative Power: these, like initiation, etc., are seen as dualistic and therefore inferior. The result of this teaching on its unfortunate devotee is the compounding of the illusion: since he is already awake, why should he make any effort to wake up? He lulls himself back to sleep with affirmations of his awakenedness.
In my next blog on this work I’ll start with the above. It’s an important paragraph so I want to unpack it. I feel I was charitable in this first blog and in the next one there will be more deconstruction and critical inquiry assessing the claims and contradictions within this work.
