Aion

Aion (αἰών) - an experiential or transcendent state in which an individual steps outside the normal flow of time, often through altered states of consciousness. It is a timeless, mystical realm or condition where the individual gains access to knowledge or wisdom beyond the limitations of ordinary perception. Aion in this sense is not just a period of time (like an age or era) but a realm of existence that transcends chronological time. It represents a divine or otherworldly experience, where one can receive visions, insights, or revelations from outside the constraints of normal time. In the context of a pharmakomantis (drug seer), to be “in the Aion” is to enter a state of heightened perception or spiritual ecstasy, where one may perceive visions of the past, present, or future, often with the guidance or influence of substances that alter the mind. This state is seen as being outside of normal, linear time and offers a broader, cosmic perspective on existence. Aion is a key concept in mystical and prophetic traditions, where time becomes fluid, and the individual attains access to divine or cosmic wisdom, often experienced as a direct, non-linear insight into the nature of existence.

Many ways to enter the Aion

  • Everyone: view a beautiful human across the grocery store, imaging new life together with that stranger. Time stops or gets very slow in the brain, as it considers the new universe.
  • Hellenic: attested in many Ancient Greek language sources describing the oracular rites, using visionary pharmakon with The Purple with venoms and guidance invoking imagery through song and music and herbal fumigation to evoke trance, this guidance brought the initiate's salvation, to consider death and ressurection and the kosmic order of inner self and of nature.
  • Christian: Aionic Life attested in John 3:16 and other books, early mystery cult used the pharmakon along with their imagery to guide the initiate in a similar salvation practice centered around death and resurrection and to communicate with voices or visions heard/seen while in the aion state of mind
  • Buddhist: meditation enlightenment practice
  • Shamanic: ceremony with guidance
  • generally: Elevated Consciousness Methods induced by visionary ancient pharmakon, modern psychotropics, or other means, e.g. meditation, prolonged darkness or silence.
