What do you think of Howdie Mickoski's video above about NPCs? Does it make sense? Does it resonate?
Here is another one he just did about NPCs and Possible Soul Vehicles.
Howdie:
From the comments on the last NPC video, I eventually came up with a new term, PSV- Possible Soul Vehicle. I kind of like it actually...
This turns out to be a long discussion almost an hour but I felt there was valuable info to discuss. thanks for all the comments, I rarely respond but I do take them in and when it seems like a topic demands it, they can become videos such as this one.

I've watched some of Howdie Mickoski's material and he certainly does seem like an learned and down-to-earth guy, but I'm afraid that his Gnostic vision doesn't quite resonate with me at all.
First, I don't believe that the "demiurge" (aka Yaldabaoth, aka Yahweh) really created the material world. In fact, I don't believe that he even created anything. I regard Yahweh and his "angels" as merely a clique of evil extraterrestrials or lesser gods who managed to take over our planet and subject our souls to their order of darkness and tyranny immediately prior to the beginning of the Kali Yuga. They are malevolent invaders from elsewhere in the cosmos, not creator gods or architects of worlds. You can deduce this from the most ancient mythologies. Various mythologies from India, Sumer and elsewhere speak of an early golden age in which humans had reached an extraordinary level of spiritual evolution and consciousness and possessed all kinds of psychic and supernatural abilities and lived in harmony with nature but which was then lost and replaced by the current age of darkness. The golden age was ruled by Enki and our original gods who taught us the occult knowledge of godhood and advanced civilization. But Yahweh and his evil clique invaded, destroyed our original spirituality and plunged us into the absolute darkness in which we remain to this very day. The demiurge did not create a corrupt world and trap our souls herein as Gnosticism claims. He simply conquered an existing world of beauty and prosperity and turned it into his own dystopia. The term "demiurge" is a misnomer.
Second, as you have already brought to attention, this world is not purely negative but rather contains both good and evil. Life still has many good experiences even in this subverted world and despite all of the darkness. We as a species have still managed to hold on to a great deal of beauty, love and other noble things. Life is still worth living for many people. That's because the world wasn't originally a dark place. It was once home to a flourishing civilization in which we evolved spiritually at a rapid rate and were close to becoming gods ourselves through the completion of the Opus Magnum. The world only became corrupt and full of darkness when Yahweh and other evil gods invaded and destroyed all previous progress. Almost all of our suffering today stems from the repression of all occult knowledge and the wholesale collapse of our consciousness. Our planet was great before the interference of the malevolent alien species but even today at the height of the Kali Yuga a certain level of the original light is preserved within us and our world.
Third, the true creator of the universe and all that exists is Brahman - the Transcendental Absolute and original realm of Pure Consciousness. Brahman's creation is dualistic and therefore contains both good and evil. Created worlds exist for conscious experience. Such realms of conscious experience exist for the growth and evolution of our souls which are in turn individuated fragments of Brahman. Our world wasn't created evil. It originally contained both good and evil like everywhere else in the cosmos. But when evil gods invaded, they completely denatured our world and skewed the good-evil ratio overwhelmingly in the direction of evil, hence the emergence of the Kali Yuga, in reality an unexpected deviation from its original state. But where did the evil gods like Yahweh come from? I suspect that they simply embraced the dark side of this dualistic creation too much and thereby corrupted their own souls. They followed an aberrant path becoming enamored with power and greed and losing all sense of nobility of soul. Finally, those corrupt souls grew powerful and invaded our world. They didn't want us to become gods ourselves and instead made us their victims. We are not fallen beings; they are! And through their depraved Bible they've tried to convince us that we are the problem!
Fourth, the Gnostic solution is wrong. While it is true that we should avoid the white light and tunnel and a negative incarnation imposed upon us by the evil gods who are nothing more than impostors, the only way to escape is to open our chakras, raise our Kundalini and complete the Opus Magnum and thereby achieve godhood. Once we become highly evolved gods ourselves, the enemy and his little perverse minions on the astral plane can no longer touch us. We can either choose to incarnate into an extremely advanced life here on Earth or escape the Earth's soul trap completely and go elsewhere. Vedanta and Buddhism on the other hand are completely suicidal doctrines. They teach the pursuit of Moksha/Nirvana through renunciation and self-abnegation when in reality we can only overcome the "matrix" through the cultivation of our own spiritual power and the ascension of the Kundalini and the completion of the Opus Magnum.
No, Howdie's Gnostic anti-world doctrine doesn't resonate with me at all. I'm an Enkist. I believe that our original golden age was destroyed by the evil false god Yahweh and that true spirituality consists our elevating our soul to a divine state, not escaping from material reality. I am also of the view that the Kali Yuga won't last forever and that the evil false god's rule will one day come to an end. I remain quite positive despite the undeniably negative circumstances in which we find ourselves.
