The Nine Angles Of Sinister Change
We perceive. We use reason to try and understand what we perceive (or, at least, some human beings use reason). We arrive at some conclusions – or we give up and just accept what someone else, somewhere, has written or said: the answers of some established religion, or the answers of some political ideology, for example.
Sometimes, however, we do need a bit of guidance, something or someone to nudge us in the right direction, to aid our thinking, or inspire us, or maybe to just get us thinking about, and asking questions about, certain matters that most people take for granted.
The Sinister Way is just such guidance, based as this Way is on the accumulated pathei-mathos - the learning from direct, hard, difficult and often suffering causing experiences – of some human beings who have detested and who do detest mundanity and mundanes, and who have dared to defy the accepted causal abstractions of their times.
This sinister and individual learning – which it is one of the aims of practical Left Hand Path, or sinister, training to produce, to induce – thus provides insight, perspective; it gives the individual a new take, a new “angle”, on things. This learning is both Occult (the perception of essence behind causal form and appearance, and the development of faculties to enable such perception) and directly sinister (Presencing The Dark).
Further practical experience reveals – or should reveal – that we human beings have nine quite distinct ways of viewing, of perceiving, the world: nine different ways of looking at existence, at Life, Nature, Death, and at all those many causal forms we have manufactured over Aeons to interpret Reality, and ourselves, in an attempt to try and understand Reality and ourselves.
That is, our faculty of perception – our human knowing – has nine different modes of being, just as Reality has, with we human beings – our consciousness – being a reflexion of such Order, for what is above (beyond us) is reflexion of what is below (what is within us); that is, there is both a cosmic Order, and a certain symmetry within that order.
But why nine? Why not seven or eleven or even thirteen? Because we human beings are a nexion – that is, we exist in both causal Space-Time (of four dimensions, or angles) and in acausal Space-Time (of five dimensions, or angles). Because we possess acausal energy – which energy animates our physical matter (the chemicals, physical molecules, that makes up our bodies) and thus makes that matter organic, a living being.
We could express this another way – Existence has nine fundamental emanations. Nine different ways of presencing itself, of coming-into-being. Or, if we wanted to use older terminology, we might say: nine fundamental vibrations, nine fundamental dimensions.
But why use the term angle instead of dimension, or even vibration? Because it is different; because the term angle, as used by sinister ways such as that of the ONA, requires one to think about – to logically analyse – what the term means or might mean or imply. That is, there is a certain effort required to ascertain its esoteric meaning. For an angle – esoterically – is much more than a dimension, much more than a vibration. Even understood in the exoteric sense, an angle implies something that meets with something else or something that is curving (non-linear; not straight) or the space between two things.
Esoterically, we human beings have the potential – the capacity, the ability – to perceive and thence understand the Order, the ordering, the organization, that is Existence/Reality/Being/The Cosmos; and we also have the potential, the faculties, to use that understanding to change, to consciously evolve, ourselves, as unique individual beings, and collectively: to aid others like us, others of our kind, and thus bring-into-being new Aeons, a new presencing of the sinister; that is, a Dark Imperium where we can fulfil our Galactic potential.
This ordering, this organization, is, for our human consciousness, nine-fold – and thus, exoterically, there are, for us, nine stages, or nine means, of apprehending this basic ordering, and which nine aspects we thence combine into that knowledge which is a knowing of the essence itself, beyond all forms and all causal (all limited human) apprehensions.
Hence, according to sinister ways such as that of the ONA – according to the accumulated pathei-mathos of sinister Adepts – the apprehension is manifest to us both in the nine variations of the basic three (the nine basic pieces of The Star Game, for example) and in the seven plus two: in (1) the seven spheres (the seven basic apprehensions, or emanations) that form The Tree of Wyrd, (2) the Abyss (the connexion between the individual and the acausal) ; and (3) the Tree of Wyrd (ToW) itself as but a nexion between causal and acausal.
Or, expressed another way, this seven plus two means that the ToW as we exoterically perceive it – a three-dimensional structure consisting of seven spheres and the interconnecting pathways – actually changes, in both causal Space-Time and in acausal Space-Time. That is, it is not some static “thing”; not even just a static “thing” that moves or can be moved (rotated) in causal Space. For it changes both causally and acausally, with part of this change being our – our individual, human – interaction with it: with ourselves, and the cosmic Order beyond us.
That is, we enter into (we are involved with) a symbiotic relationship with what the ToW (and also The Star Game) re-presents: which is the order that is both Existence/Reality/Being/The Cosmos and our own living being, the nexion we are and the presencing of acausal energy which we are.
Thus, the nine angles are alive – possessed of acausal energy: some-thing which lives, and these living angles are manifest to us as, for example, the ordering which is the living ToW within us, and which we can use to change, to evolve, ourselves; that is, to enter and go beyond The Abyss, and thus emerge as new type of human being, one in whom there is knowing of the essence and one in whom there is an abundance of, an increase of, a new flux of, acausal energy.
Hence, these nine angles are genuine magick, Occultism presenced on Earth – a means of changing, of evolving, ourselves; of participating in our own evolution and of becoming a different type of being, just as The Order of Nine Angles is one presencing of the esoteric reality (the true ordering of Existence) beyond the mundanity of the acceptance of mere causality (materialism) that pervades and “animates” mundanes, as well as a presencing that can take us far beyond the lifeless sterility of all the causal forms that are so loved and revered by mundanes.
