I was using the ‘zoom out’ function on Midjourney as a medium for actively imagining a DMT entity I once encountered, and I found some variations of an initial image evolved in a number of distinct directions, each with their own archetypal themes or ‘messages’.

What I find fascinating in Hermetic and Gnostic Genesis myths are the formative encounters with limitation (and/or malevolent and inherently constricting daimons) that occur for the incarnating soul. In the myth of Sophia, for example, this limit is called Horos, meaning boundary. We can recognize the prefix from the well-known word “horoscope”—an astrological vision of a soul that has come under the dominion of a specifically limiting boundary.
