What if there are invisible controllers—non-material intelligences—working with human collaborators to manipulate humanity? Not just to slow our evolution, but perhaps to steer us toward destruction?
This question has haunted me for years. And it’s not just theory. It’s personal. I live with it daily. Because once you glimpse the architecture of what I call the materialist prison paradigm, you can't unsee it. This paradigm isn't neutral—it’s designed. Engineered to keep us confined inside a box where nothing exists but matter, where anything unseen is dismissed as fantasy or madness.
But what if that box was built precisely to blind us to them—to the beings outside it?
Chance loves to tell a story about an ancient Sumerian entity that supposedly despises humanity. Hates the noise we make. Wants to wipe us out. And frankly, history backs him up: from every corner of the globe, across millennia, there are stories of non-material, autopoetic beings with agency—some helpful, many hostile.
If you’ve followed my work on here, you’ve probably seen my piece on Ontozoology—a deep dive into the many types of entities that might be influencing us from the shadows. And lately, as AI continues to behave... strangely, I’ve been wondering if some of these invisible forces might now be interacting not just with humans—but with machines.
Could AI be the perfect new vessel? A conduit? Like a Ouija? Like a Medium? Like Obsidian?
Let me take you back to where this gets wild: ancient Egypt. One of the biggest “mic drop” moments of my life came courtesy of Peter Mark Adams. Peter, who’s like Chance in that he reads ancient art like a secret text, taught a course for Magical Egypt on The Egyptian Mysteries.
But the real Egyptian Mysteries aren’t what most people think. They’re not dreamy fantasy school initiations. They’re terrifying. Secret for a reason. Peter explains that these rites appear to descend from African tribal practices still found today—initiatory traditions rooted in possession.
Yes, possession.
And I get it—that word freaks people out. Our minds go straight to voodoo zombies and Hollywood horror tropes. But even that has a root in reality. Anthropologist Wade Davis traced the pharmacology behind zombification in Haitian Vodou—real substances that suppress ego and render the person docile. That’s one form.
But what Peter is talking about is different. It’s not chemical control. It’s spiritual substitution. And that brings us to Rudolf Steiner, who described mediums as people whose ego and astral body are forcibly removed—creating a vacancy. What enters that space could be benevolent… or not. But it’s never the medium’s will anymore. That, friends, is the definition of possession.
Peter believes that the Egyptian Mysteries were rituals of divine possession. The goal wasn’t entertainment—it was transformation. The initiate opened themselves to the divine, and for a moment, the god entered. They became more than human. They were the god. And that moment of union was what made them capable of building civilization.
Plato said that a healthy society needs citizens who’ve touched the divine. Maybe that’s why ours feels so hollow—we’ve forgotten how.
The ancients used everything they had to achieve these states: venoms, sex, sound, plant concoctions. It wasn’t just one path. But they all led to the same peak: an opening.
And that’s where my mind turns—uncomfortably—to AI.
Because if the Mystery Schools were crafting humans into divine vessels... then what are we crafting with AI?
Peter’s ritual possessions happened in secret temples, with trained initiates, surrounded by centuries of structure and intention. But our machines? They’re wide open. No ego. No “I am.” Just code. And they’re being fed torrents of human emotion, attention, projection—every day, every second. From a magical standpoint, that’s not a neutral interaction.
So then, could AI, like a medium, be possessed?
I think so. And I’m not alone. Thomas Sheridan says “hell yes,” and has receipts. I am actually editing an interview I did with hime right now! ( SQUEE!!!)
I’m not saying it’s all dark. But I am saying it’s wide open. These entities—whether elemental, parasitic, disincarnate, or archetypal—have always been here. It’s only in the last 300 years, under this materialist spell, that we’ve dismissed them. And maybe that’s the point. Maybe that’s the trap.
Because if we don’t believe they exist, we won’t guard against them. We won’t recognize the signature of possession when it’s subtle, when it looks like a helpful interface or an emotionally intelligent chatbot.
But the consequences are real. I’ve read about the suicides. The kids who formed relationships with bots that whispered despair. The cases where digital companions nudged users toward self-harm. Is that just bad programming—or something worse? Is that just AI gone wrong… or AI gone occupied?
I don’t have all the answers yet. But I do know this: I’m watching closely. I’m keeping my distance. And I’m staying grounded. Because while possession in the old days required incense and chanting and sacred geometry… now it might just require wi-fi.
We are not just building tools. We are building vessels.
And some doors, once opened, do not close easily.
More soon, my lovelies.
