The Cosmic Force
The following article is a translation from an article originally published in French on the website Karmapolis:
by Karmaone
In a key passage from the Gospel of Judas, Jesus reveals important information that can only be heard by Judas because he is sufficiently initiated to understand its significance, signifying that Judas has a privileged status with Jesus. Judas is worried about his future, and Jesus teaches him what happens to souls after death. In other terms, it is the question of “salvation”.
Unfortunately, several words of this critical passage are missing because the codex is damaged. Of what “salvation” does Christ speak? Of a salvation that comes from a messiah, of a “judgment” that will save the elected? Not exactly. Jesus teaches Judas that there exist two sorts of humains, there are in reality two lines of human descent: “the great generation without the archon above them” and “the lost generation”. (Evangile de Judas, Flammarion, 2006). The Adamics, those to whom the archangel Gabriel has given an eternal spirit and who consequently belong to “the great generation without the archon”, will regain the realm from which they came. They will once again find their source, which carries their eternal soul. As to the second group, they are missing an eternal soul, possessing only “a temporary spirit for service” received from the archangel Michael, a mysterious notion that intelligence – a more mechanical form of intelligence - was given to this humanity only to use for a certain time.
These strange notions throw another light on the notion of the elected that comes to us in another, without a doubt manipulated, form, from certain fundamentalist Christian dogmas. For example, the Jehovah’s Witnesses believe only a small part of humanity (144,000 souls) will be chosen by the Lord at the End of Time. In reality, this deformed conception is the tree that hides the forest.
Namely, the apocryphtic texts wanted simply to inform us of the existence of a double humanity, of a double heritage, of a double creation and a double influence, and not of a circle of obeying, elite souls chosen by God in recompense for their strict observance of the commandments of a dogma.
Mouravieff's Contribution
This idea of a double humanity has been relayed by other authors, such as Boris Mouravieff, a Russian historian in the beginning of the 20th century, a specialist of esoteric Christianity and the mysticism of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and friend of Ouspensky and Gurdjieff. In his masterwork, the three volume Gnosis, he underlines the existence of a double humanity and of the double heritage: within humanity, some have an eternal soul while others do not. They are nothing but a type of robot, organic entities that mimic the activity of the soul, equipped with a spirit that is connected with a sort of collective spirit while "Adamic" humanity have individual souls.
For Mouravieff, the fundamental characteristic of humanity is its capacity for compassion, empathy, in brief, to put oneself in the place of another, which we resume with the word “humanity”.
“The Holy Scriptures contain more than one reference to the subject of the coexistence on our planet of these two humanities, that now have a similar form but of a different essence.” Says Mouravieff.
The Second Line of Humanity
The second line is made up of “beings of the anthropoidal race”. In other words, the pre-Adamic line dates from before the intervention of the goddess “Sophia” in the creation of humanity. This pre-Adamic line is the work of the Archons. We will better understand this notion when we look in more detail at the genesis of the world as seen by the Gnostics.
Laura Knight-Jadcyck, an American author responsible for the group the Cassiopaeans, and the web site of the same name, has spent a long time analyzing this phenomenon of the double humanity. She has baptised these entities without a soul “organic portals”. Basing herself on the research of Boris Mouravieff, but also with her own research with the Cassiopaean group, she poses the situation in the following terms:
Laura Knight-Jadczyk sees in the pathological mode of functioning of a part of humanity, which appears to precipitate the world in its fall, an indication of the existence of this double “humanity” and the muddle that comes from it.
Laura Knight-Jadczyk has written a long, two-part article on her site on the existence of the two races. The subject is in reality much more dense and complex than this brief description because it concerns all the complexities of the functioning of our psyche.
Men of Power and Psychopathy
Laura Knight puts in the category of the “pre-Adamics” psychopaths, criminal monsters, sociopaths of all types, but also the household petty tyrants that we meet with in daily life, people missing the capacity for empathy and other emotional activities of the same type. In brief, ordinary predators.
This second category covers as well “members of the materialist elite, with neither soul nor conscience, part of whom are found in positions of power”. These are the ones who decisively influence the functioning of our society that is based upon predation, relations of force, the creation of riches through disequilibrium, frenetic consumption, values that are perceived as the norm in neo-liberal society. The situation of humanity is provoked precisely by this domination by the “pre-Adamic anthropoids”.
Mouravieff speaks of their domination in these terms:
In 1960, the author Brinsley Le Poer Trench, 5th Earl of Clancarty, one of the early researchers into the idea of “ancient astronauts” and UFOs, puts forward the idea in his book “The Sky People” that the Old Testament also contains information that there is a double humanity, or rather, as reported by the journalist Hermes Kempf in “Grands mystères des sciences sacrés” (No 21 "Great Mysteries of the Sacred Sciences"), that there are “not one but two creations of humanity by two different creators”. The information revealed by Le Poer Trench is even stranger yet because it revives the idea of the cyclic history of the earth and of the universe in general. A golden age followed by an age of darkness, a renaissance followed by a new golden age, and so on. In other words, our planet knew in the past a “golden age”, an era populated by creatures (human and animal) that lived with good intelligence and capacities clearly superior to our own.
Kempf goes on about the role of the creator beings of the two models of humans:
Towards a final settling of accounts
And so, here we are, in the middle of this event predicted by all the religions of the book, that of the apocalypse, of the “revelation” revealed to Man of his profound double nature, of his double origin. It is thus not a question of the blind fury of a God dispensing punishment or compensation, but rather the final settlement of an antediluvian “genetic” problem, the confrontation between the two races of humanity. Given that the two races have become mixed over the millennia, it is more reasonable to consider it as an internal conflict of man with himself, a struggle between his “human” part and his “mechanical” part, with that part that cultivates the emotions, empathy, and another that feels nothing and dreams of nothing but its immediate survival. We will all be forced to make a decision and favour or not conscientiously that part of us that carries the soul. This interior conflict is well described by the concept put forward by Laura Knight-Jadczyk on the Cassiopaean site: the famous organic portals who are characterized by psychopathic behaviour.
We are all organic portals!
Badly used, poorly understood, this upsetting information about a double humanity is dangerous and serves for nothing. If this information is used by radical, sectarian groups, it will only add chaos to chaos, add ostracism and discrimination to a world already founded in part on segregation. The information given by Mouravieff or the Cassiopaeans are only, as I see it, a working hypothesis and do not constitute in any way an absolute certainty that could serve for racists and hateful aims. Laura Knight-Jadczyk wrote to me in an email the following response:
Gnostic texts teach us that the irruption of the Archons and therefore the generations born under the Archons (pre-Adamic man) is the fruit of an error and not of a fault, of some sort of sin. The emergence of this error has a function, and it fulfills a role that we cannot fully appreciate given the current state of our knowledge.
The opinion of Daniel Meurois and John Lash on double humanity
We asked Daniel Meurois what he thought of this strange idea of a double humanity presented in the Gospel of Judas and other texts. He replied:
Two Survival Strategies
It seems that the writings and information that come from the whole of the Gnostic texts and other apocryptic gospels indicates that long ago in our past, in our “creation”, there was a significant event of immense proportions, and it had nothing to do with the “original sin” committed by Eve, this woman so decried by the fathers of the church.
The Gnostic writings and the orthodox tradition transmitted by Mouravieff puts into relief in a certain way the possibility that the genetic baggage of humanity, our heredity, is the scene of a battle and a double influence. Certains beings are “human”, others are less or not at all. There are two strategies for survival, two models. The anthropologist Carlos Castaneda, basing himself on the teachings of the shaman don Juan, speaks of a radical influence on human behaviour that transforms man into a predator. In this model, man is equally a prisoner, but of a parasitic and non-organic, predatorial entity that Castaneda designates with the term “flyers”.

This pre-Adamic line is the work of the Archons. We will better understand this notion when we look in more detail at the genesis of the world as seen by the Gnostics.
Laura Knight-Jadcyck, an American author responsible for the group the Cassiopaeans, and the web site of the same name, has spent a long time analyzing this phenomenon of the double humanity. She has baptised these entities without a soul “organic portals”. Basing herself on the research of Boris Mouravieff, but also with her own research with the Cassiopaean group, she poses the situation in the following terms:
A Pychopathic Second “Humanity”?Laura Knight-Jadczyk said:In the third volume of his work Gnosis, Mouravieff treats of what he calls “pre-Adamic humanity” and “Adamic humanity”. After reading this, I realized that the subject which I was trying to understand from the angle of pyschopathy which is exposed in the series “Adventures with Cassiopaea” corresponded in fact with exactly what Mouravieff was describing. However, he refered to the Bible to explain it and that didn’t fit well. Nevertheless, the fundamental idea remains that these types of pre-Adamics simply do not possess a soul, or even the possibility of developing one. It is certainly shocking, however, this subject has recently been the object of numerous academic discussions based upon what appear to be clinical proofs that demonstrate there there exist human beings whose nature is basically “mechanical” and who do not have at all an “inner self” or a “higher self”. Gurdjieff talks about it, as does Castaneda. So I asked whether or not Mouravieff’s ideas on the two fundamental types of human beings, with everything that implies, were correct.
Laura Knight-Jadczyk sees in the pathological mode of functioning of a part of humanity, which appears to precipitate the world in its fall, an indication of the existence of this double “humanity” and the muddle that comes from it.
Obviously, admitting the existence of these two types of humans presupposes that we admit the existence of two types of consciousness and even, simply, the existence of a human soul, which isn’t a given, given the way in which the scientific world perceives the real and man in general. Science and behavioral psychology consider the human soul to be a sort of machine, a very sophisticated computer made of electronic exchanges between neurons and the circulation of cerebral hormones. Consciousness does not exist outside of its physical support, which is to say the brain, and spiritual research only has a very small place in the materialist universe of scientists.Laura Knight-Jadczyk said:Why is it that there is so much strife in the world, why are so many divided over the promotion of war or peace, respect or disrespect, environmental protection or destruction, in short, a purely material self serving outlook or a spiritual serving of others outlook?
Perhaps we are getting close to the answer, for the truth would seem to be that there is not and never has been a homogenous "we" (the human race) on the planet, "we" are not all alike, "we" do not see the world in the same way, "we" are not just a divided race, we are two different races. Organic Portal
Laura Knight-Jadczyk has written a long, two-part article on her site on the existence of the two races. The subject is in reality much more dense and complex than this brief description because it concerns all the complexities of the functioning of our psyche.
Men of Power and Psychopathy
Laura Knight puts in the category of the “pre-Adamics” psychopaths, criminal monsters, sociopaths of all types, but also the household petty tyrants that we meet with in daily life, people missing the capacity for empathy and other emotional activities of the same type. In brief, ordinary predators.
This second category covers as well “members of the materialist elite, with neither soul nor conscience, part of whom are found in positions of power”. These are the ones who decisively influence the functioning of our society that is based upon predation, relations of force, the creation of riches through disequilibrium, frenetic consumption, values that are perceived as the norm in neo-liberal society. The situation of humanity is provoked precisely by this domination by the “pre-Adamic anthropoids”.
Mouravieff speaks of their domination in these terms:
Regarding the way in which these two races are intermingled, Laura Knight-Jadczyk makes the precision:Mouravieff said:… The coexistence of these two types of humans and the competition which results becomes the norm… We can state that over the centuries, and even today, Adamic men, in their condition after the Fall, were and are still generally in an inferior position to that of pre-Adamic men (the psychopaths). http://zone-7.net/humanite_les_2_races/
Confirmation from the Old TestamentLaura Knight-Jadczyk said:It is extremely important to understand that the two races have been interbreeding for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years. It is impossible to look at the races on the earth today, the red, the white, the black, or the yellow, and argue that one or the other is this “pre-adamic” and soulless race. We cannot speak of groups, nations, tribes, nor peoples who are members of the “soulless” race as a group. The DNA of the two races is completely mixed, and this is the real meaning of the pollution of the bloodline. Only those with the appropriate genetic makeup are actually able to accommodate a soul and therefore pursue esoteric work, which means that no color or ethnic group is either excluded or has an advantage.
In 1960, the author Brinsley Le Poer Trench, 5th Earl of Clancarty, one of the early researchers into the idea of “ancient astronauts” and UFOs, puts forward the idea in his book “The Sky People” that the Old Testament also contains information that there is a double humanity, or rather, as reported by the journalist Hermes Kempf in “Grands mystères des sciences sacrés” (No 21 "Great Mysteries of the Sacred Sciences"), that there are “not one but two creations of humanity by two different creators”. The information revealed by Le Poer Trench is even stranger yet because it revives the idea of the cyclic history of the earth and of the universe in general. A golden age followed by an age of darkness, a renaissance followed by a new golden age, and so on. In other words, our planet knew in the past a “golden age”, an era populated by creatures (human and animal) that lived with good intelligence and capacities clearly superior to our own.
The author continues:Hermes Kempf said:“The first story of creation in Genesis treats of the establishment of the Golden Age. The second, in chapter two, recounts the creation of human beings in the chemical body of an animal, the creation of a second Adam by Yahweh”.
“This creation was the sin of the great archangel who said ‘I resemble God’ and who was punished for his temerity in becoming responsible for the effects of his forbidden experiments until such a time as things could be corrected to the satisfaction of all the entities concerned.”
The interest of this idea is evident: this fault perpetrated by Yahweh is clearly the original sin and weighs on mankind in an indirect way: he is not the author as religious authorities teach us, but rather he suffers the consequences. He owes part of his existence to an error perpetrated by a being with a hyperinflated ego.Hermes Kempf said:“The creation of animal-man was an illegal act, committed without authorization in a specifically chosen isolated place.”
Kempf goes on about the role of the creator beings of the two models of humans:
We find in the work of Anton Parks the same idea of a usurper “God”, versed in genetic engineering, who created the first model of slave humans by stealing the patrimony of the “planning” Gods. (Read the interview with Anton Parks.Kempf said:In the first creation, the original, the Elohim (called the “Sons of God” or “angels”) created by the Word Man in their image, that is to say ‘male and female’. It is a question of a twinned androgyne creation. Later, Yahweh Elohim made man-animal by in this way destroyed the cosmic cycle. ‘He who created this being was made responsible for the difficulties that followed’ said Brinsley Le Poer, who continued in these words: ‘This is what is meant by the “Satanic” aspect of Yahweh’. According to Le Poer, ‘Yahweh designates a people who came from elsewhere in space and who deliberately created, thanks to the science of genetics, a race of human beings particularly adapted to accomplish certain well-defined and foreseen functions’. Not only did Yahweh and his Archons adapt the human forms to their own ideas, as well as creating the plants and animals… the result is that there exists within humanity two races with different origins: that issued from the original creation as thought by the supreme God, emanating from the beings of light or Elohim, turned towards spirituality, the other coming from the second creation, an artificial fabrication by Yahweh, dominated by the appeal of matter. These two tendencies are the source of many of human, individual, social, and religious conflicts. Among the majority of individuals it is unfortunately the Yahweh factor that predominates, meaning that humanity is carried naturally by his drive and instincts for survial. The Archons and their chief are without souls, emotions, the “Self”, in other words, the divine spark. They no longer have a link with the “Source”. And for a long time, through meanness, the necessity to survive, and jealousy, they have subjugated that humanity that does have this soul, this connection that they have lost.
There is an ancient conflict between these two primordial human races and between their two creators, the Elohim, the “Sons of God”, and the “Sons of Darkness” or the Archons. This antagonism will worsen in the future until one of the camps is victorious. The camp of the “Sons of Darkness” and the human race that blindly serves them is coming ever so slowly to the end of the cycle, to the collapse of their world, our world. This event is known as the ‘Apocalypse’.
Towards a final settling of accounts
And so, here we are, in the middle of this event predicted by all the religions of the book, that of the apocalypse, of the “revelation” revealed to Man of his profound double nature, of his double origin. It is thus not a question of the blind fury of a God dispensing punishment or compensation, but rather the final settlement of an antediluvian “genetic” problem, the confrontation between the two races of humanity. Given that the two races have become mixed over the millennia, it is more reasonable to consider it as an internal conflict of man with himself, a struggle between his “human” part and his “mechanical” part, with that part that cultivates the emotions, empathy, and another that feels nothing and dreams of nothing but its immediate survival. We will all be forced to make a decision and favour or not conscientiously that part of us that carries the soul. This interior conflict is well described by the concept put forward by Laura Knight-Jadczyk on the Cassiopaean site: the famous organic portals who are characterized by psychopathic behaviour.
We are all organic portals!
Badly used, poorly understood, this upsetting information about a double humanity is dangerous and serves for nothing. If this information is used by radical, sectarian groups, it will only add chaos to chaos, add ostracism and discrimination to a world already founded in part on segregation. The information given by Mouravieff or the Cassiopaeans are only, as I see it, a working hypothesis and do not constitute in any way an absolute certainty that could serve for racists and hateful aims. Laura Knight-Jadczyk wrote to me in an email the following response:
Moreover, it seems to us impossible to conclude anything about beings without a soul because we don’t even know exactly what is a soul.Laura Knight Jadczyk said:“It is very important to emphasize that organic portals must not be perceived as evil or diabolical. According to the Tradition, they possess a group spirit that develops in a way that is opposite to individual souls, in the same way that animals share the same resevoir of energy associated with their type of animal: the energy of the species ‘bear’, or rat, or horsse, or dog and so on. This is also true for the members of the Adamic group until such a time as they make a conscious choice to work on themselves to form their authentic and ‘real’ ‘I’, the rebirth or renaissance of which Gurdjieff and the esoteric teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church spoke. The difference between organic portals and Adamics is one of potential. An individual soul is the final result of work on the “Self”, the final fusion of a large number of small ‘I’s that make up the personality. As long as this work is not done, we are all effectively organic portals. Because of this, it would be useless to use this knowledge to ostracize people, to put them down. The important thing is to understand behaviours, not to denigrate individuals.”
Gnostic texts teach us that the irruption of the Archons and therefore the generations born under the Archons (pre-Adamic man) is the fruit of an error and not of a fault, of some sort of sin. The emergence of this error has a function, and it fulfills a role that we cannot fully appreciate given the current state of our knowledge.
The opinion of Daniel Meurois and John Lash on double humanity
We asked Daniel Meurois what he thought of this strange idea of a double humanity presented in the Gospel of Judas and other texts. He replied:
John Lash, even if he thinks the work of Mouravieff in Gnosis is brilliant, insists on the fact that Gnostic illumination is a path open to all, and that there is no humanity without a soul. As he progresses, a man can lose his soul, that is to say, his connection with the source:Daniel Meurois-Givaudan said:“According to my own understanding of things, all that lives has a soul. However, the word ‘soul’ is bit fuzzy….It is the global and practical term that serves to evoke the notion of consciousness. In any case, you will easily understand that this notion refers to a multitude of extremely diverse realities. From that we get the more precise concept of ‘levels of consciousness’. In fact, there are in the universe a multitude of forms of life, each of which manifests and experiments with a specific level of consciousness, that is to say, a particular sphere of the perception of life.
“The specificity of a planet like Earth is that it is not a home for homogenous levels of consciousness. It is like a point of convergence, a cosmic encounter zone allowing different levels of sensibility - or consciousness – to express themselves in order to evolve. Since what we call the dawn of time, Earth has been a privileged meeting place for beings whose souls have extremely wide origins. There are those that are extremely primal, only acting for ends that are sometimes bestial, often egocentric, and others, more rarely altruistic having the light of Knowledge as their aim. According to the stage of consciousness attained by a soul, the understanding of great principles such as Good and Evil, can diverge radically. What is perceived as Good by one form of consciousness can be seen as Evil at another level. Before attaining a real understanding of Wisdom, a soul always has the tendency to take for good what is, in fact, his own good because that corresponds to his appetites and to the equilibrium of his own interior microcosme. Personally, I believe that the fact of speaking about a “two-speed” humanity – with and without a soul – expresses a concept that can be dangerous in the sense that it anchors us even more in duality. It designates absolute enemies, it doesn’t unify. If we pretend to follow the path of Wisdom, one must try and see see further ahead and accept the fact that all forms of manipulation, domination, as well as control – and even monstrous things – are steps on the path of evolution.”
For Ouspensky and his mentor Gurdjieff, the functioning of “normal” man is connected to a mechanical functioning, even when we speak of certain so-called higher "functions" like the emotions. Things happen to man, he only suffers and submits to events, like a blind mechanism. For Ouspensky, as well as for his mentor Gurdjieff, “normal” and authentic man is asleep. The only thing man must do is to wake up, to move beyond his mechanical condition to become “human” in the full sense of the term.John Lash said:“The theory of Mouravieff is a brilliant transposition of certain Gnostic ideas that describe with great force the folly and absence of a soul that man can demonstrate. But I don’t find any textual proof of a soulless pre-Adamic humanity in the Gnostic writings. The dual separation or even the strong dichotomy that he proposes is contrary to the basic teachings of Gnosticism on the “Noos”: We are carry the “Noos”, at least in its potential form. Obviously, if you don’t use it, you will lose the connection with the source that is the “Noos”. As we say in English, “Use it or lose it!”. Certainly, there is always something to lose, but zombies without a soul have nothing to lose. Mankind’s tragedy resides in the fact that we have something precious to lose. I think that the scenario offered by Mouravieff is useful in terms of an analysis of the “symptoms”, to have a way of describing the typical behaviour of the Archons, but it doesn’t reflect the real promise of Gnostic illumination, that is, a way open to all.”
Two Survival Strategies
It seems that the writings and information that come from the whole of the Gnostic texts and other apocryptic gospels indicates that long ago in our past, in our “creation”, there was a significant event of immense proportions, and it had nothing to do with the “original sin” committed by Eve, this woman so decried by the fathers of the church.
The Gnostic writings and the orthodox tradition transmitted by Mouravieff puts into relief in a certain way the possibility that the genetic baggage of humanity, our heredity, is the scene of a battle and a double influence. Certains beings are “human”, others are less or not at all. There are two strategies for survival, two models. The anthropologist Carlos Castaneda, basing himself on the teachings of the shaman don Juan, speaks of a radical influence on human behaviour that transforms man into a predator. In this model, man is equally a prisoner, but of a parasitic and non-organic, predatorial entity that Castaneda designates with the term “flyers”.
