ERNESTO BARÓN

Who is...

ernesto_01.jpeg

First of all, note that it is very hard to find any information about Ernesto Barón, and this is not by accident. It is by the means of secrecy and "hermetism", that he could go on with his cult, without being publicly exposed for the traumas that he has been creating on people for decades.

Ernesto Barón is the supreme leader of at least 2 institutions that I am aware of. He is the hierarchical (but unofficial) leader of CEA, being the official president of CEA one of his subordinates, and he is also the Director of the Escuela Montsalvat, this being a supposedly hermetic ancient school for souls.

There is some information on the internet about his life and all the samaelian gnostic cult. I will not explore those previous years, I want to focus on my direct experience, but I will point to some of the relevant data from the time before I have been recruited.
William Ernesto Barón Ligerón is his supposed real name (I only know him by the name Ernesto Barón), and he is a common cult leader that thinks that he has already arrived at the supreme enlightenment.

He himself proclaims that he is in charge of continuing the work of Samael Aun Weor (wiki) and his gnostic movement.

Ernesto Barón claims that Samael has delivered him his own sword (Ernesto likes to show it) in order to proceed with the work. This is a very controversial subject that feeds wars between gnostic institutions and gnostic people, most of the time it is a ridiculous debate analogous to emotional tribal disputes without much cognitive discernment. Many of these fights are more or less public, in form of opinions within that gnostic world, and can be tracked on some old websites.
Ernesto Barón arrived in Europe around 1984, more specifically in Zaragoza (Spain), and developed his cult since then.

There is an interesting little chapter in the book “Los otros creyentes” (David Santamaría del Río y Luis Santamaría del Río; ISBN: 9788488954985) that gives a brief overview of how this cult developed from those initial years. (read the chapter)

To make the story short, there was a huge recruitment of people, spreading and recruiting some more. In this process, things started to become more and more complex and bigger (spreading all over Europe with different names).

At some point, after more than 30 years of marriage, Ernesto Barón decides to leave his wife (Cloris Rojo), 'till then his twin soul, for another twin soul named Giulia Vanni, that later, becomes Nefer Barón (side photo). This fed another tribal fight between him and his previous wife, involving money, houses, sons and daughters and so on… a perfect "soap opera" still running today.

Giulia Vanni (with only 17 years) was the girlfriend of the youngest son of Ernesto, starting her career as a young actress, but somehow became Ernesto Barón's new twin soul. (Around the year 2000)

I was not in CEA at that time, so I will not make any comment to the supposedly process of christification of Giulia Vanni and her transformation in Nefer Barón, despite the fact that I have reports and descriptions from people who were witness of this process, as being a big theatrical psycho-manipulation.
I can only point to some facts about Giulia Vanni. One fact is the supposedly letter in spanish from her mother (see here), that seems to be authentic explaining their process in CEA.

Another fact is that Giulia/Nefer is the actress that appears in these short 10min movies:

Maybe in the future there will a specific section about Nefer Barón, a lot can be said about her and her development. 

How he acts...

ernesto_01.jpeg

Ernesto Barón is the supreme hierarchical leader, so, he acts and talks from that superior level regarding all the others. Somehow he has access to truth, or more specifically, the truth is revealed to him, and then he delivers the truth to the rest of the people. Note, that he is not just delivering the truth to the CEA members, but he is also delivering it to humanity. He claims that he is the supreme pontiff between cosmos and earth or between spirit and body (The messenger of the gods).
He claims that he knows better, what is the best for any person, because he has direct access to our soul, therefore he knows what the person needs in order to evolve.

It is very common to hear things like - “we are here (in this planet and in this moment) because we (Ernesto and Nefer Barón) have brought you here (to planet Earth) with a specific mission” - the sacrifice for humanity, that is, sacrifice for what they call “La gran obra” (“The big undertaking”), that at the end, it turns out being the total commitment on serving them and their dogma. Ernesto also applies commonly the term “logic” in a specific way, to dismiss any dissent logical argument that can appear on our minds. He points out that our logic (normal people) is an “inferior logic”, and we have to act and think with a superior logic. Being the superior logic, that one that he himself presents as being the truth, with no refutation, and being fear his powerful ally to implement this mind control.

This fear manipulation is a very important aspect, where fear is weaponised in order to control and maintain his hierarchy of power.
In every moment the fear is present, there is no one in the institution that is not controlled by this web of fear.

From this high position, he always points down accusing others of being the source of the problems, inferring fear and accusing people of being egoistic, bad or wrong.
A very common practice is to expose some member as a “scapegoat” of any problem that can appear.
In this practice, the person is presented publicly in front of everyone else and is pointed out as being the cause of the problem, ending up suffering some kind of punishment.
This experience creates traumas not only on the exposed person, but also on everyone else, and is a very efficient method to control thru fear. This procedure can happen with any little situation that does not fit on his vision and therefore, has to be “cleaned out”.

His superior logic ends up being just a toxic rigid ideology that, with time, contradicts itself, but then, is rearranged in order to fit the new appearing pieces of evidence and maintain the power.
There is a constant re-contextualization of the facts to fit the logic offered by this cult leader.

This re-contextualization happens inside CEA, in every moment with all little things that were previously said and done.
If something happens in the world, there is a rush to find some quote that was in some previous book, that is presented out of context proving that “Our Director” had already warned us about that fact. In this way, it is possible to reframe everything in order to reinforce his absolute hierarchical power, as the messenger of the gods (as he calls himself).
Many times this is so ridiculous, that the only option is to partition our psyche in order to be able to accept that logic, convincing ourselves that for some reason we do not understand (normally we do not have enough conscience, or are too egoic to understand).

One of the biggest and absurd re-contextualization was (and is) 2012, with the end of the world and all the Pleiadian approach.
To understand this example in more detail, take a look at the 2012 and Alcyon Pleiades videos section.

This is the mind control, that starts molding the reality of all members, creating enormous damage in the people and life itself.
Life becomes a drag, with no meaning except the hope that maybe “Our Directors” will help us to deserve to be alive. Life is reduced to the most ridiculous and boring activities without any real joy of being alive.
In other words, people shut themselves out to the fact that they are alive, in order to serve “Our Beloved Directors” and his magnificent work.

Delirium of Grandeur...

Ernesto Barón, according to himself, is the messenger of the gods.
He hardly gets wrong, and when something goes wrong it is always the fault of someone else, or the whole group (not including him).
Everyone is always bad no matter what, and because we are so unconscious and full of ego, we do not understand his superior vision.

Ernesto presents himself as a superior being that had descended from the cosmos in order to help humanity. In this “Great Undertaking” they, Ernesto and Nefer, sacrifice themselves in order to teach us (members and humanity).

Ernesto Barón claims that he does not need to be here (on this planet), because he has finished his mission, but remains with us as a sacrifice for humanity.
With a variety of false perspectives, together with Nefer, they manipulate our minds, gaslighting us, and offering a version of reality that suits their purpose.
In their delusion of grandeur, they (Ernesto and Nefer) claim to be reincarnations of several past people and even mythological gods. They claim to be Ramses II and Nefertari, King Arthur and Guinevere, Shiva and Shakti and many others. The habitual is that those reincarnations are always some important figure in history.
Referring to Ernesto Barón, he claims that he is Hermes/Mercury, Cesar Augustus, Napoleon, Pancho Villa, Francisco Pizarro, King Arthur, etc…

This indoctrination about their superior status has been delivered in different ways. One of the common ways, in the last years, has been thru videos and movies that Ernesto Barón instructs to produce (there is a huge team that is serving the purpose of producing videos, see more on the section Alcyon Pleiades)

These videos are made in a similar way as the “Alcyon Pleiades” videos. The difference here is that the audio is recorded with real voices by the team of audio. The general process is: The script is drafted by Ernesto Barón, then the script is put together by a team, which also records all the audio files. Later the video is revised by Ernesto, which can mean redoing everything. These "revisions", as they are called, go back and forth several times until the final video is ready.
All teams are always under extreme stress, to deliver everything on time.

In the case of videos related directly to Ernesto and Nefer (like their past lives, mission on earth, etc), they are displayed only to the inner circles, are not even available for students, let alone people outside CEA. Most of the time these videos are displayed in gatherings, events, or in Escuela Montsalvat.


Here is a sample of that kind of videos. Originally, this specific video (based on the book “Alma de los Faraones”) was more than 3 h long, here is a 5min. sample to give the general feeling of how Ernesto and Nefer are seen inside CEA. (most interesting part is toward the end)

On the other hand, there are gatherings that are made on specific dates (mostly in Escuela Montsalvat), in a kind of celebration, and there is always a theme.
Those themes vary, but are always about this delusion of grandeur, portraying some kind of reincarnation of a past life where “Our Beloved Directors” were the leaders and we were their servants. The last one that I had participated in, was the new year celebration of 2020, in this occasion, the theme was the Diwali with Ernesto and Nefer being the Rajaji and Rani Sahiba (kind of His Majesty and Her Holiness)
The preparation for this "event" started months before, where, like always in every event, all the delegations/countries had to prepare theater plays and dances to present in this occasion. Everyone has to spend hundreds of Euros and months of rehearsals just for these presentations.

This gathering occurred in Escuela Montsalvat, for about 10 days, which culminated in this Diwali celebration, wherein the previous days there were displayed some movies (like Manikarnika, Padmaavat, etc) in order to manipulate our collective psyches towards this Hindu environment with our supreme leaders as kings.
There was, as always, a type of collective euphoria that can be described as a group trance, that allows the belief in this delirium.
Here are some short videos from  that Diwali celebration, judge for yourself...
Even Ernesto Baron made his dances, for those who never saw him dancing, here is the opportunity… but take into consideration that he was trying to imitate those guys from the movies, so first, have a quick look here.

Books and Publications...

placeholder image

Ernesto Barón has published many books.
The books are not publicly available, only for members or people that in some way have direct contact with CEA.
I do not know that if he really writes them, but he claims that he does, so I grant him that.
His books are poorly written, sometimes big volumes that lack structure and become just word games.
There is a lack of creativity and structure in his style of writing and it takes an enormous amount of effort to read them, most of the time is just a web of words and ideas,  lacking coherence and at the end, there is little that remains.

Most of the books (especially the recent ones) are full of fragments of other books (of other writers) that are put together, out of context, and making people believe that it is something original and important. Anyhow, all the members have to buy the books and study them.

There are plans of study of every new book, wich are done in local gatherings (by country delegation, or with the students) and it is a terrible experience, because you can not pin down what the book is about, but still pretend that you understand it. The more crucial point is that you have to explain it to your “students”, pretending that you understand the content. (after all, you are a teacher, right?)

The plagiarism made by Ernesto to create his books is an old topic that I do not pretend to explore deeply. The relevant point here, is the copy and manipulation of the work of other people to fit in the doctrine of CEA, making believe that it is original work.
Some examples are his book “Alcione, el sol de 2012” and all the later books referring to the photon belt and Alcyon process. All of that information is present in the work by Virginia Essene and Sheldon Nidle, especially in the book “You Are Becoming a Galactic Human” (ISBN: 9780446672047)

The same issue is present in many other books from CEA, such the obvious plagiarism of “Ramses” by Christian Jacq (ISBN: 9780446588959) that is presented under the name “El Alma de los Faraones” by CEA as being an original work and even there is the video production based on this book (sample of the video that was showed above)

There is also a constant distortion of available work from other people or researches (that are cherry-picked, using quotes or sentences out of the original context), that then are passed thru the filter of Ernesto Baron's epistemology (his own interpretation of that information) to fit on the ontological notion of CEA and to fit in his dogma about existence.
This is also the case of the last book that I had acquired: “Quantum” - that is a supposedly very important book (according to Ernesto Barón) about reality, science and spirituality. The book is just one big “patchwork” of miscellaneous works from other people, glued together and out of context.

I found that there are some books available online in some digital libraries.
I do not recommend wasting your time reading any of those books, but just for study reasons or curiosity, I will provide links that allow the download of some of these available books.

Having said that, If you feel so, and have the patience to read it, you can take your own conclusions about this big tratatus of science and spirituality called "Quantum" (Spanish).
It is also available the book that is considered to be one of the most important inside CEA called “Descubriendose a si mismo” (Spanish). In this book, you can find the perfect example of the dialectic used inside the CEA and the depressive worldview imposed on the members. According to Ernesto Barón this book offers the solution to human development as well as the method for spiritual growth.

On the other hand, members are extremely discouraged to read any literature other than the CEA books.
Search for alternative information is forbidden and it is punishable if anyone does so. Internet is extremely forbidden and is seen as a "poisonous place" where no one is allowed to research.
Ernesto Baron has been able to create a bubble of intellectual dependence on him, where people only have access to the knowledge he gives through his interpretations and dissent is punishable.

The price of the books differ depending on the book, but the latest ones costed between 35/45 Euros, everyone has to buy one copy and sometimes several copies to have available on the local “associations" for posible future students.

Music and audio CDs 

CEA also publishes its own music audio CDs.
I will not explore this topic too much, but there is a catalog of audio CDs published by CEA that members can (should) buy.
Some are compilations of mantrams, where some of them (Sunyata, Tao Tien, etc…) have some mantrams (with music) that are sung by Ernesto or Nefer. Those Mantrams CDs are used in gatherings where the "professors" sing together as a kind of "ritual".

There are a couple of CDs that are reinforcing the past life of Ernesto and Nefer as Ramses II and Nefertari. “Rosa Mistica” is one of those, where for instance, Ernesto recites the poem "The one for whom the sun shines” (from Nefertari tumb) to Nefer Baron, pretending that he is the author of that poem.
Here are the covers of some of them:

But an important point is that it is made believe that this music is composed by Ernesto Barón, and that is not the case.
Some of the latest publications are just a compilation of music from artists that have nothing to do with CEA.
Plagiarism is a recurrent theme with Ernesto Barón (even if he has the authorization to make these CDs) nowhere is credited to the original authors. But the most important aspect is the manipulative way that he presented this work as being his "own" work, thru ambiguous words.
How he presented them was: “...I had made these CDs as a complement of those important books" (Quantum and Rainbow Body).
A lot of people inside CEA think that Ernesto composed that music.
Here are these 2 examples (published on the occasion of my last international event - Japan 2018)
Again, it is a “patchwork” of other people’s work
(The price per CD is somewhere between 15 and 20 Euros, every member should have all that material)
