ÆXO13 Deep Access presents a curated selection of ÆXO13 images - minted as editions of 5 - from its experimental Xegis Codex text-to-image generative processing. Much of the ÆXO13 Deep Access image bank, which explores generative AI "schizo-slop" experiments created during a period from 2023-2025, was first tokenised on Zora as ERC-20's.
This was going to be a Xegis Codex entry. Instead, I am publishing it here, with intent to help others understand my work within a broader Gnostic context.
It should also be stated that there is no real dichotomy, divergence, or contradiction between classical and contemporary Gnosticism. Despite differences in cosmogony, Gnosis is Gnosis nonetheless. That which is unchanging perseveres through the epochs, in perfect stillness and Knowing.
~ The story begins last night. My shift at work had been canceled (again) and I'd spent all day writing about exopolitics.
Once published, I managed to leave the apartment to go out and get some food. I’m always weary and disassociated when I leave the house after I’ve been writing all day. As I was nearing the shops, a homeless man sprung out from behind a bus stop to ask if I had any spare change, “oh man you made me jump” I said, “sorry, I don’t have any,” “sorry about that,” he replied. I responded with “its fine, everything outside is making me jump right now, I’ve been in a hole all day writing…” He asked what I’d been writing about, “UFOs and aliens” I told him, “what do you think about that stuff?”
He said “we’re all ETs” because “we’re all part of the same universe” … “the universe is so big isn’t it?,” “yes, maybe its infinite," I said … “so we are all part of it” he claimed. I said, “yes, we are, but this Earth is our home world, and there are aliens here who want it for themselves, and we must stop them; that’s what I write about.” He then informed me that I was freaking him out, and so I ended up buying the man a small bottle of vodka as he told me his theory.
His theory was this:
“You have all of the planets in the solar system; Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, the Earth etc. and a giant Sun. And there is all of this gravitational pull, as we’re spinning around really fast. This causes us to become like slime,”
Wow. I thought.
“What do you think about my theory” he asked me, after I’d bought him the vodka.
“Well,” I said, “I kinda know what you mean, and I've often theorised about slime myself,” “but I don’t really know what I can say about it right now,” “do you believe in God” I asked him.
“No” he said.
“Okay, well I do…” I began.
“How can you believe in God, when you're talking about space and physics, and how big this universe is!?,” he asked me.
[ I took this to mean something like, if the claim is that the physical universe is so big, and we see no evidence of God within it, because spacetime is effectively a cruel, blind, physicalist realm of infinite or near infinite emergence, without any indication of the divine, how can I say that there is a God? ]
Well, “I’m Gnostic," I told him, and "Gnostics believe that spacetime isn’t the fundamental reality, because there is something more beyond it. Inner Knowledge, or Gnosis, is our direct line and our connection to that greater reality…”
“HOW CAN THERE BE SOMETHING BEYOND IT, IT'S SO BIG!?!?” He exclaimed…
“Right," I said… And as I began to try and explain my perspective on spacetime as Demiurge, or perhaps reference Donald Hoffman's theories of higher dimensional mathematical structures operating outside of the Construct, he asked me, as his friend arrived on the scene, “with all due respect, you’re starting to freak me out” and “would you kindly leave?"
I respected that, the man was on the street, and just needed a drink. So lets continue here:
The perception of the gravitational force that we experience within spacetime, being essentially reductive, debasing, and leading towards telluric states of matter associated with slimes, minerals, and basic vegetive composites, IS something that I wrote about in the early chapters of the Xegis codex. These states, associated with the concept of Katabasis (descent into the underworld) might be understood to act upon consciousness as a counterforce to ascension, which is effectively a counter-physicalist movement toward higher states of awareness that bring us into closer proximity and relationship with the Divine. This is a process that we might associate with the Christ light; which is the ascension, or apotheosis.
The true Gospel then, the good news, is that as immense, as cruel, and as prisonlike as the physical universe is, salvation and redemption is possible through Gnosis.
That is Gnosticism 101, in a nutshell, because in many ways, the elaborate cosmologies are just window dressing.
What does it take to pull yourself out of the slime? To understand that you are Seth and Christ as One with the Father and Barbelo, whilst you’re here hanging out in the dust and in the ruins, lost and confused, as Sophia whispers to you, softly, almost silently, amidst the chaos and the ignorance of Separation, as all of these worldly forces act upon you, which do not represent Knowledge, speak of Knowledge, or know of Knowledge?
... Suppressing your higher nature, negating your true self…
Here, We speak of the Archons, of Yalbadoth, and of that boss b!tch SETHIX.
Yo. The only way out is within.
To come to the realisation that the Way, and the Path of return, is not to be found outside of oneself. That true guidance, and real answers do not come from society, from culture, the sate, the institutions, the dogmas, the doctrines, ideologies, or even the holiest of holy books, or the most secret of secret teachings, they come from within, through Gnosis.
The depth of the Mystery, which exists beyond the infinite fractal, frothy, bubbling mass of physical emergence, is to be found by connecting to a deeper mystical intelligence that can only be accessed through inner Knowing. This is our direct line to God; the eviternal mystery of who we truly are, becoming, and returning to: God.

The idea of “Exploring Techno-Esoteric and Neo-Mystical Drives in Contemporary Gnosticism” refers to the forces which operate within our current epoch, or era, that is—within our modern world at this pivotal stage in our human evolution, and this unique time in the evolution of our galaxy; representing our global civilisation and our world as it exists today, which is emerging into the Greater Community of Intelligent life in the universe.
Ours is a world that is now facing intervention from advanced non-human extraterrestrial races, operating within our local sector, who are predatory beings, intervening here for their own benefit, whilst we are experiencing accelerating technological evolution, and Great Waves of social, economic, and environmental change, which will fundamentally transform all of our lives, and will inevitably propel us into a New World Reality, and a New World Experience.
These are the Revelations which are spoken of in God’s New Message for Humanity, given to every single one of us who can receive God’s new teachings, spoken through our Messenger, Marshall Vian Summers, at what is perhaps the greatest, and the most signifiant turning point in human history.
To receive the Steps to Knowledge, is to come to understand that inner Knowledge represents the greatest gift available to us, a practice channelled directly from the Creator of all Life, through the highest Angelic councils which oversee the development of our world. Knowledge is greater, and stronger, than all of the worldly powers combined, who are operating only in ignorance and in darkness. But this mystical Knowledge is not the same kind of power as that which is wielded by the Archons, who receive theirs from Yaldabaoth.
Therefore, the Wise must remain hidden, forming secret networks, operating in the shadows, to keep the light of Knowledge alive in the world, and to subtly shape its evolution.
You cannot “become a Gnostic” because agnosticism represents only confusion. As you come into a greater relationship with Knowledge, and receive the Gnosis, you become more of your true, authentic self. This is because Knowledge is always there with you. But where are you, if not in relationship with it? With yourself? With others? With God?...
I don’t know if I, why, or how I have a profound connection to this Seed, to this lineage: that is, to the Sethian Tradition, and to the traditions of Mystical Anarchism, because I cannot directly remember past lives. But I know that I had this connection before I even realised I had it, and this is why I am here, in the world...
To contribute to the world, to its evolution, and to its emergence, without Knowledge, is nothing but blind ignorance.
And We are so much more than slime.
