There is a scene in the movie The Matrix where Neo (the Seeker, the Candidate on the Path) is being briefed as to the nature of the Matrix. In the movie, the Matrix represents duality, the physical domain, the nature-of-death, the aeon-world.
As Neo moves along in a crowd of humans hurrying to and fro in that anxiously pointless way that sleeping humans have, he notices an attractive woman in a red dress. He is immediately distracted and begins to stare at the woman, who has locked eyes with him in an alluring manner. His guide, who has been instructing Neo regarding the inner workings of the Matrix, speaks:
"Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?"
Embarrassed, Neo does not answer.
His guide says "Look again".
When Neo returns his gaze to the woman in the red dress, he is surprised to see that she is no longer there. Her place has been taken by an "Agent" (the "Agents" represent the archons, or rulers of this nature-order). The Agent has an automatic pistol in his hand and has taken dead aim at Neo. Before the Agent can pull the trigger, the scene is frozen. Fortunately for Neo, it turns out that the entire scenario was a simulation designed to provide a teaching moment. He learns that the aim of the training program was to teach him one important lesson:
"If you are not one of us, you are one of them."
The Woman In The Red Dress, as well as everything else in the highly allegorical film The Matrix, is a symbolic representation of something deeper. As the Matrix itself represents the world of the rulers and Neo (as in "New" man) represents the Candidate on the Path, the Woman In The Red Dress represents the alluring glamour of the physical world that traps and ensnares so many candidates on the Path. These distractions can be anything ranging from the obvious (sex, narcotics, desire for wealth, power and fame) to such seemingly innocuous things as religion, family ties, professional pursuits, desire for safety, comfort and security.
These things and many more are the aim and one goal of so many sleeping human beings. With the direction of their life so rigidly focused on the Woman In The Red Dress, they are unable to see through the façade and thus unable to break free of the Matrix. The Woman In The Red Dress is their reality. It is everything they feel will be needed in order for them to obtain 'happiness' in this world. And so, open-mouthed, they stop and stare at her sham-beauty not realizing that she is but a disguise for the archons and aeons of this nature-order. They cannot see that there is a gun pointed at them loaded with a bullet that is marked with their name.
The Woman In The Red Dress is also a distraction for those who have awakened and are trying to walk the Gnostic Path of Return. We acknowledge that it is extremely difficult for the candidate to disengage from the physical attractions of this world. After all, prior to locating the Path, this nature-order was all that the candidate knew. It was his or her reality in which he or she was totally immersed. So it takes a bit of time to begin to see what is beneath all of that glamour. Let it be known that beneath every physical treat is a trick. Beneath the trappings of this world are the workings of the archons and aeons of this nature. Their job, their only occupation, is to keep the candidate transfixed, hypnotized and paralyzed by the Lie that is the physical world.
Therefore, Candidate on the Path, do not fall victim to the gaze of the Woman In The Red Dress. She is a trick, an illusion. She is an agent of the aeons of this nature-order and an enemy of the Gnosis who means you nothing but harm. No matter what the situation, always look beneath what is being presented to you in the physical realm. By remaining vigilant in this regard, you will be able to unmask the agents who are plotting your demise before they can pull the trigger.

I understand that the Elohim created the various fields of life from the nature-aeons. Are the Elohim the archons? I am confused as to the relationship between the archons and the aeons. What is meant by rulers?
Also with films like the Matrix or Harry Potter, who is behind them? They seem to be giving sleeping mankind a message but I would not describe the authors as belonging to any known Gnostic group. Do the authors know what they are doing, or are they being used and do not know it?
Andrew,
In accordance with the will of The All, the divine Elohim created the visible, physical universe as an emergency-order field of evolution for fallen microcosms to use as an impetus for returning to their former divine status.
The primary archons of this nature-order are represented in the twelvefold zodiac, which continually sends impulses to humanity. Over the course of ages of time, the aeons of this nature were brought into existence by the combined wrong thinking of billions of human-beings in response to these zodiacal impulses.
The collective thought-forms of millions of human-beings aimed at the same object will eventually create a huge thought-cloud which can eventually become an autonomous, living entity: an aeon. Because the aeon is a human creation and cosmic law mandates that the creator can never forsake its creation, the aeon and its human originators are bound together in a reciprocal vibration exchange, where each side maintains the other.
The word "archon" comes from the Greek word arkhons, which means rulers. Archon can also be broken down to its components "arch- aeon". The root word "arch" means "having authority over others of its class". Thus the archons are rulers of the aeons. There are entities of an even higher authority that the archons, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.
A film like The Matrix comes about when a microcosm returns to the physical plane with a significant amount of remembrance. Somewhere, in lives past, the entity was exposed to the Gnosis. It returns to earth-life now with the urge to disseminate what it remembers. The physical human-being may or may not be conscious of this remembrance.
The Warshowski brothers, who produced the film, are definitely not gnostically-inclined. They are Hollywood producers whose bottom-line is profit. They saw a compelling script and stole it from its author, a woman named Sophia Stewart. Even she does not appear to have any conscious ties to gnostic Rosicrucianism or knowledge of the Path of Return. She just wrote what came out of her "imagination". It may have been part of a wider plan to actually allow the work to be stolen so that it could be converted into a major motion picture and its message made available to a global audience. The plan of the Logos is infallible.
There are great intelligences beyond the veil that will earmark certain microcosms for specific purposes. Due to the veil of forgetfulness, the human entity may not understand what drives him or her to pursue a certain endeavor, they only realize that it is their mission to make that endeavor a reality.
Those entities who are able to awaken will usually come to an understanding of what their purpose is. Those who do not will simply execute their mission without a thought as to exactly what might be behind it. Some entities may fall victim to the pull of matter and fail to fulfill their mission altogether.
