Greetings Rich;
an interesting story, perhaps.........
The gnostics taught that "guides", or angels appeared as one was about to awaken, to see through the illusion of this world and experience G_d.
They were called the Archons.
Their purpose, was to prevent you from seeing the truth. They were as the maya that Buddha experienced under the bodhi tree.
Just some thought for food.
Take gentle care;
Vinny
