By "the archons" I assume you mean St. Paul's "spiritual forces of wickedness".
More or less. But keep in mind I am not referring to anything necessarily "numinous" or "superficial," though it may be possible to interpret my statements with those kinds of overtones. I have in mind primarily a grand pattern of human self-restriction and self-oppression rooted in the evolution of the human brain and the development of the collective unconscious.
If so, would you say that it is the archons who motivate political institutions such as church and government to institute tight controls on sexual expression?
As I have interpreted it, yes. The moment the church plays at being an institution "of the world," it risks becoming the sort of oppressive authority from which I believe Jesus and Paul tried to liberate us.
