Does it bother you that someone has recently publicly announced that he is leaving the Order of Nine Angles?
No. These things happen all the time, and have done so ever since I became involved with The Dark Tradition, over forty years ago, now. Indeed, if such things did not happen, it might cause us to briefly wonder if we had somehow strayed from our Sinister Way, for we are, after all, an élite, and will be for a century or more, at least, until we have assimilated and made like us, and so evolved, a certain particular percentage of the human species dwelling on this planet we call Earth.
Furthermore, even if such individuals do leave, do renounce their Sinister Quest, many of them are or have been in some or in many ways changed by their encounter with us and by our Dark Tradition. In addition, some of those leaving – if they had advanced to a particular point in their quest – are still bound by a certain oath they gave, and are fully aware of the consequences of failing to abide by certain conditions of that oath, for such conditions and such consequences were explained to them before they took that dark and binding oath.
Can you explain your comment – “if such things did not happen”?
Since one of our primary aims is to be the genesis of a new human species – a new type, a new breed, of human beings – it is to be expected, and indeed necessary, that our means, our ways, are selective over a period of causal Time.
In addition, there will also be some who, despite their potential and the promise they may show, cannot adapt to the changes required to become part of this new breed. To use a rather inexact but otherwise appropriate metaphor, some human beings cannot be assimilated into our new sinister collective, our élite, because they, for whatever biological or other reason, do not or cannot change in flux with us and in flux with acausal energies presenced over periods of causal Time. That is, they lack or cannot acquire our needed ability to adapt, to shapeshift, as we, of the ONA collective, adapt and shapeshift over the years and the decades of causal Time because of our basal, sinister, Dark, acausally-imbued, nature: which is that of a new living-being presenced in the causal continuum, currently only presenced here, on this planet we call Earth.
We – collectively – are a whole new type of living-being, which is why I said that the metaphor (μεταφορά) was both somewhat inexact, and yet otherwise appropriate.
What exactly is this new type of living being?
This new living-being – our new lifeform – which exoterically is still called, or named, the ONA, is a new type of sinister collective, wherein the new evolved, unique, individual is balanced, through evolution and a sinister presencing such as is manifest in our sinister tribes, with those acausal energies which are the essence of upward, evolutionary, Cosmic change. One aspect of such acausal energies is our developed ability of acausal-knowing.
That is, we represent, we manifest, a new symbiosis where our developed and unique individuality – manifest in our Law of the Sinister-Numen – works with others of our own sinister kind to achieve certain sinister aims, because such a working, such a co-operation, in now inherent in our nature, as the life-form we are, we have become, we have evolved to be.
However, some individuals who may associate with us for some period of causal Time, or who may have even been part of us, once, cannot or will not adapt to function as part of our sinister collective, often because they do not possess our sinister nature or cannot develope enough of their own human nature to fully become of us. Thus, do they separate themselves from us, although a few may well maintain some kind of relationship with us, and may even still aid us in some or many ways to achieve our aims.
Often, but not always, such individuals as leave us cannot evolve, cannot change, cannot adapt, that old type of ultimately enervating and ultimately de-evolutionary human individuality which is so manifest in groups such as the ToSers, the CoSers, and those who imitate them, and which old type of individuality, based on following, being a slave to, one’s own desires, that the Magian uses and has used to manipulate generations of human beings, especially in the so-called West.
In contrast, our individuality is sinister – an overcoming, a mastery, of ourselves and our feelings, desires, through hard, practical, experience in the real world, and by plunging into, using, glorifying in, the darkest of Dark Sorcery, and which Dark Sorcery, of course, can involve a coming-to-know at least some of the sinister living-beings of the acausal.
Thus, because of this overcoming, because of such practical experience, we are genuine Dark Warriors, and thus does our Law of the Sinister-Numen re-present our new type of human individuality, where we accept responsibility for ourselves, and where we regard our own, individual, honour as more important than our desires, and even our own causal mortal life, knowing as we do that there is a new type of life in the acausal.
This overcoming, this practical experience – this breeding of our new type of human – currently still takes a certain amount of causal Time, and is hard and testing. Many fail; many just give up, for whatever reason or reasons. I – we – do not care, since, as I remarked earlier, such leavings are part of our very nature, as a training ground, a boot-camp, for our new élite, although our boot-camp currently lasts for many, many, years, and our real “passing out” – in old Aeon speak, The Passing of The Abyss – occurs after around fifteen or twenty years.
Naturally, the more we presence ourselves, the more our new lifeform spreads, the shorter this period of training will become, until – perhaps a century or less from now – we can fully assimilate others into our new sinister kindred in a much much shorter span of causal Time, because by then we will have a developed social infrastructure in place, and the real practical power, to have our own training centres where we can fully train our new kind of warrior without any interference from that de-evolutionary despicable form, The State.
To achieve this, we first, of course, have to undermine, de-stabilize, and ultimately overthrow and replace, The State. Hence, our primary and immediate goals:
(1) to use our Dark Tradition to create sinister Adepts and, over a long period of causal Time, aid and enhance and create that new, more evolved, human species of which genuine Sinister Adepts may be considered to be the phenotype;
(2) to use the sinister dialectic (and thus Aeonic Magick and genuine Sinister Arts) to aid and enhance and make possible entirely new types of societies for human beings, with these new societies being based on new tribes and a tribal way of living where the only law is that of our Dark Warriors, which is the Law of The Sinister-Numen;
(3) to aid, encourage, and bring about – by both practical and esoteric means (such as subversion, revolution, and Dark Sorcery) – the breakdown and the downfall of existing societies, and thus to replace the tyranny of nations and States, and their impersonal governments, by our new tribal societies and our Law of the Sinister-Numen.
For, in essence, what we currently exoterically call the ONA is only a means to produce, provoke, sinister change in the causal; to presence acausal energies and so evolve our human species, if necessary by culling those detrimental to such sinister change – or by culling those who oppose us or whose culling will serve as a warning, an example – and certainly by replacing the forms, the abstractions, the illusions, of the Old Aeon, of the Magian, by our new types of nexions, be such nexions living individual human beings, some collocation of human beings, or some causal form or forms we utilize or manufacture to presence acausal energies.
Someone recently asked: why are you still with, still committed to, the ONA, after over forty years?
Because that is my nature, because my whole adult life has been dedicated to The Sinister Way; to exploring my own limits, to experiencing and to learning; to willingly, often defiantly, going to and beyond both the light and the dark until I came to know them for the causal forms they are.
I am not unique; I should not be unique. A few others before me, in the past two millennia, have done what I have done – travelled along the Dark Path to its very ending, devoting their whole mortal lives to a sinister quest.
But few, if any, before you have been so openly heretical, and few, if any, have produced – created – the practical, effective means you have to change people, and society, to presence the sinister as you yourself might say.
I am and I have been only showing the way; only preparing the way. Exploring, charting, the realms of The Sinister. Learning as I have explored and experienced. Making a useful map of The Way which anyone can use to go where I have been, to learn what I have learnt; to presence The Dark Forces as I have begun to presence them, through and in such things as the ONA.
If some, in trying to use my map, mis-direct themselves, and fall into some deep chasm, and die, or go insane in such stark blackness as exists in such places, so what? They are irrelevant. If others, in trying to use my map, find the terrain too hard, to difficult, and go back to the safety and comfort of causal living, of being Homo Hubris, then so what? They are irrelevant.
My map can and should be updated; improved, by others who can dare, who can defy; and others still may even venture further than I have done, and so manufacture their own maps, their own charts – starful and sinister-black – of where they themselves have been.
Ultimately, we human beings have both the causal continuum and the acausal continuum to discover, to explore, to experience, to learn from: to cause us to change, and evolve ever further. There are no limits unless we in our fear and in our comfort with our smallness make and accept such limits.
