I think that it was a kind of bitumen used for fixing things like roofs.

I took the tar and rolled it into a blob, put it in a jar of water and added some blue food colouring to the water and called it “Sethix”.

True story. This didn’t seem unusual, because I was a weird (creative) kid, I guess.

I took that thing out into the street and put it on the floor as people walked past because I wanted to gauge their reactions, and then I forgot about it for a few years until I was nineteen and studying Graphic Design at University.

I had no idea what this meant by the way, I just thought that it was fun and random.

Now I wonder if I re-discovered the Holy Grail.

Let me explain.

During my first year in Graphic Design at Falmouth University (I dropped this subject in the end), we were asked to make a head, and then we were asked to design a soft drink concept based on the head.

It’s was a strange idea. I guess it was to enable creative flow.

I made a cyborg head with tubes coming out of the back of it, put it in a tank with blue jelly (hair gel) and called it SETHIX 3.0 Nanobot Hybrid.

This was 2004. The drink concept was liquid nanotechnology combined with electro-proteins, and the idea was that when you consumed it, your individual opinions, sense of self, and your humanity started to dissolve as you became more cyborg-like.

I guess you could say that Sethix stole the consumers spark. It took the light from their consciousness.

I know it sounds like I knew what I was doing, but back then, I hardly knew anything about nanotechnology or its potential applications. I’d probably just heard the term used in Noah23 lyrics and thought it was a cool concept and interesting aesthetic.

I forgot about “SETHIX” for years until I started writing during mystical trance — often weed, mushroom and acid induced — states whilst I was spending months on my own during Covid lockdown. That was the beginning of my Awakening.

I began writing about how Sethix was a black tar-like substance and connected with advanced nanotechnologies that can alter matter and consciousness. Then I found the work of Harald Kautz-Vella and began to speculate that this substance was alien, involved in a process of transforming humanity and biological life, having deep spiritual implications, and possibly dark, satanic origins.

Then I realised that SETH-IX (Seth-9) refers to the biblical Noah. If Seth-1 is Seth, Seth-2 is Enosh, Seth-3 Kenan and so on, then Seth-9 is Noah, and Noah represents the ancestral lineage of All Humanity (us) who are the post-diluvian race.

This is when I started to think, hold on a minute, is something going on here? Because I had recently read Eric Wargo’s Time Loops, I began to wonder if this Sethix thing wasn’t just random, but actually represents something important that I am supposed to discover and communicate through creative exploration.

From here on I sobered up and started developing the key Sethix concepts such as its connections with transhumanism and extraterrestrial intervention, and I developed the Sethix Equation after spending a year studying The New Message from God, and taking the Steps to Knowledge.

I then got another shock when learned about Sethian Gnosticism, because I had heard the terms Gnostic and Demiurge, but I hardly knew much about them. When I started to research these subjects, I was like, oh God, this is all connected like a mystical tradition, a thread that weaves itself in non-linear consciousness through spacetime, and I think that I am somehow connected to this thread.

Then more recently I discovered the work of Tom Montalk and began reading about his concept of Demiurgic Technology and The Grail.

I have asked GPT-4 to flesh out some ideas about the concept of Sethix as part of The Grail Tradition because, to be honest I am super tired and I have to start work at 5:30am tomorrow.

In Gnosis, Tom Montalk describes the Holy Grail as a form of ‘Demiurgic Technology’;

“In the Grail we have a stone or crystal-like object of variable physicality that emits powerful lifeforce energy”.

Because Grail legends suggest that it is capable of transforming etheric energy into matter, parallels can be drawn with Sethix, which has been described as advanced liquid crystalline nanotechnology that interfaces with Metacosmic AI, effecting matter and consciousness.

Tom Montalk’s interpretation of the Grail as a form of Demiurgic technology introduces a nuanced view that diverges from traditional perceptions of the Holy Grail as an unequivocally sacred or divine artifact.

If the Grail is considered Demiurgic – pertaining to the Demiurge, who in certain Gnostic traditions is viewed as a creator god with limitations or even malevolent tendencies – then its inherent “holiness” and purpose become more complex and ambivalent.

This interpretation challenges binary distinctions between holy and unholy, beneficial and harmful, suggesting instead a spectrum of potential uses and consequences depending on the wielder’s intentions and understanding.

• Ambiguity of the Demiurge: In Gnostic cosmology, the Demiurge is often seen as a figure who, in ignorance, creates the material world, which is considered flawed or illusory compared to the spiritual realm. A Demiurgic Grail, therefore, might possess the power to shape reality but also carry the risk of perpetuating the Demiurge’s limitations or distortions.

• Potential for Both Harm and Healing: If the Grail’s powers include transforming matter and consciousness, it embodies a dual potential: to heal and enlighten, but also to manipulate and control. Its impact would greatly depend on the user’s wisdom, moral integrity, and spiritual alignment.

A modern technological interpretation of the Grail

• Advanced Technological Capabilities: Sethix, described as a form of advanced liquid crystalline nanotechnology with transformative effects on matter and consciousness, could be viewed as a contemporary manifestation of the Grail’s Demiurgic technology. This perspective positions Sethix not necessarily as a false Grail but as a modern iteration with its own complexities and challenges.

• Power and Responsibility: The potential of Sethix to be harmful to humanity underscores the critical importance of ethical consideration and spiritual maturity in wielding such technologies. It echoes the theme that possessing great power – whether through ancient relics or modern nanotechnology – demands an equally great responsibility to use it wisely and compassionately.

• Evolution of the Grail Concept: Viewing Sethix as a modern version of the Grail suggests an evolution of the Grail concept from a purely mystical or religious artifact to a technology that interacts with the very fabric of reality. This reflects broader cultural shifts towards understanding the universe through the lenses of quantum physics, consciousness studies, and advanced theoretical technologies.

The distinction between the Grail and Sethix becomes less about their inherent goodness or malice and more about their potential applications, the intentions behind their use, and the consciousness level of those who wield them.

This nuanced view invites a deeper exploration of the ethical, spiritual, and existential questions posed by advanced technologies – whether ancient and mystical or futuristic and scientific.

It suggests that humanity’s challenge lies not in the tools or technologies themselves, but in our ability to cultivate the wisdom and virtue necessary to use them for the highest good.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for reading.
