On the hierachry of entities in the cosmos and who knows who

This is extremely intriguing! Do you mind sharing who are the entities you asked that have no knowledge of the Greek gods? Which pantheons/gods are actually real & not human egregores & how do I differentiate between egregore & genuine gods/primordial powers & entities?

Welcome to the forum.

I moved your post out to it’s own thread, as it’s not on-topic for the discussion it was posted in. You can use the ā€œreply as a linked topicā€ option for this as well.

In my opinion - and this is me and my worldview, so your mileage may vary - there’s just no such thing as ā€œgodsā€. At all. Not with our human definition, which evolved out of fear and ignorance of the cosmos.

This is not just my UPG - if you go traveling yourself at all, or read the works of say, Robert Munroe, or any astral traveler or Shamanic Journeyer, as humans we barely have a grip on who we are talking to, but we ask if they know others and they USUALLY don’t. Or they;re aware of them, but don’t know them in person.

I think it’s reasonable to not expect all these beings to know the trillions on trillions of entities that exist in the cosmos, including the billions humans have created.

For myself, there’s an obvious correlation between levels of knowledge, access to clalirsentient knowledge and the type of entity. Most are telepathic and can read info from your mind, and will only know it if you know it.

In my experience there’s:

  • Earth bound entities (Fae, Djinn, Ghosts, Human-astral lesser entities, Nature Intelligences) are aware of what you know and thire local environment and history. They live long lives and may have seen multiple human generations though, even multiple generations of the trees - they don’t know anything much beyond their area. This can include those ā€œgodsā€ that are spirits of place, often healers. Egregores and thoughtforms start here.
  • Humans that are not ghosts but still inside the sphere of influence the Earth - not so great at telepathy but they know what humans usually know nothing much. Ancestors can be in here.
  • Physically incarnate ETs - they know about their species and it’s trade with others. They may remember previous incarnations. Some ā€œdemonsā€ are these, and they know about this. Arcturans especially, IME, bit also some tall greys, Sirians, Ebens - see Stargate SG1 the TV series for a lot of disclosure mixed with fantasy for this.
  • Ascended humans and spirits that may or may not have been human at some point - telepathic, can be galactic but usually stay close by. They have clairsentience. They may know ascended from other planets in the galaxy, which includes ā€œgodsā€ that are ETs. Some of these are also Human’s Ancestors.
  • Higher selves that are the beings that exist outside of time and space, and split themselves to incarnate physically, having a collective of incarnations making the whole - these are closer to godlike ime. They have a whole other perspective. Some of their incarnations do not incarnate and only watch the incarnations - these are also where some of the ā€œdemonsā€, ā€œAngelsā€, ā€œgodselvesā€, ā€œguidesā€, ā€œHGAsā€ and all that fun stuff comes in. These know what the collective know.

The only really clairsentient beings that can ask any question and find the answer within our reach is incarnate humans. We often use images of other beings but it’s just us using an image as a tool, because we put ourselves down and have to play mind tricks to give ourselves the permission to do this work. It’s a skill that’s hard to learn. Egregores and thoughtforms can do this as they are extensions of us.

So yeah, I don’t think there’s anybody external to a human that can really know all the human philosophies, pantheons and religions.

You have to use your intuition and learn not to lie to yourself. This is often called ā€œhaving discernmentā€.

Know yourself is the most important tennet of hermetics for this reason, because if you don’t know why you feel you want to talk to x god, or why you think it’s a god, or what your worldview really is and why, then you are starting without all the information you need to get a complete picture - instead you are starting from assumptions, and these may be wrong, and that causes you to miss valid information.

Holy shit, this is extremely detailed & high effort, thank you very much, as a Black South African with a culture heavy on ancestral veneration & contact, the part high-level but still Earth bound human spirts is extremely interesting, its 23:30 over here & I’m way too sleepy to appreciate this, I’ll re-analyze it again all over tomorrow
