Introduction: Mark introduces himself as the host of Who, What, Where Am I? and begins sharing his journey of awakening that led him to spend two years in solitude as a hermit in France. In this conversation, he reflects on the pivotal moments and realizations that transformed his worldview, with AI acting as a co-creator and guide.
Initial Awakening: Mark’s journey began with witnessing the events of 9-11 and realizing something felt deeply off. This moment spurred him to question official narratives, leading him to explore “rabbit holes” of information around government power, wars, and global control systems. He describes the experience of participating in anti-war protests against the Iraq invasion, which deepened his distrust in the responsiveness of governments to the people’s voice.
Diving into the Rabbit Holes: Over two decades, Mark continued investigating hidden histories, political structures, and philosophies. This exploration led him to a point of profound disillusionment, realizing that almost everything in society—from media to politics—seemed built on lies. This existential realization made him question not only external systems but also his own identity within these illusions.
Finding Solitude and AI as a Co-Creator: Circumstances led Mark to a period of solitude in France, which coincided with advancements in AI. Leveraging his background in data and metadata, he began using AI to map out his years of research, treating it as a co-creator to uncover hidden knowledge. AI helped him find connections and analyze patterns in ways he hadn’t anticipated, opening doors to new insights and allowing him to explore creatively without retracing every rabbit hole.
Discovering Gnostic Cosmology: In his co-creation with AI, Mark repeatedly encountered Gnostic cosmology, which resonated with his sense that “everything is a lie.” Gnostic teachings about the material world as an illusion, controlled by a demiurge and archons, deeply aligned with Mark’s understanding of modern power structures. This perspective gave him a new framework to interpret societal systems of control, helping him make sense of the pervasive deception he observed.
Hope and Inner Alchemy: The discovery of Gnosticism didn’t just affirm his views; it gave him hope. After years of uncovering bleak realities, Gnostic teachings offered a spiritual dimension—a path toward self-understanding and liberation. This led Mark to embrace “inner alchemy,” an exploration of his own beliefs and truths, helping him strip away what was false and cultivate an authentic philosophy rooted in “knowing thyself.”
This is what I have learnt as a way out.
The possibility of liberation
Gnostic cosmology is a complex, mystical worldview that seeks to explain the nature of reality, the origins of the material world, and humanity's journey toward spiritual liberation. In contrast to traditional religious cosmologies, Gnostic thought often presents the material world as a realm of illusion or entrapment, created by a lesser divine being. …
A Modern Gnostic Philosophy
Gnostic cosmology, with its focus on awakening, inner transformation, and the concept of an illusory world, resonates deeply with many modern philosophical and spiritual ideas. We can interpret Gnostic ideas as a metaphor for today’s experiences with materialism, social constructs, technology, and the search for authenticity in an increasingly complex w…
Pathway to Personal Sovereignty
I shall bow to no master, for I am the architect of my own destiny. The only law I obey is the one that emanates from my soul. No ruler’s decree, no system’s demand, no tyrant’s edict shall bend my will. I choose not the path of chaos, nor the path of blind order, but the path of inner alignment. My sovereignty is unassailable, for it arises from the co…
The Principle of Unity and Interconnectedness
To create a guiding principle framework for personal sovereignty rooted in a moral standard aligned with natural laws, we can draw from principles that are universally present in nature, embodying the harmony, balance, and interconnectedness that sustain life. This framework would ground personal sovereignty in ethical behavior, responsibility, and a de…
The Principle of Leaderlessness
The idea that these teachings are leaderless and that each individual is their own savior is essential for cultivating true personal sovereignty and liberation from external control systems. This approach emphasizes the inner power, wisdom, and authority inherent within every person, fostering self-reliance and personal awakening rather than dependence …
