The Power Of Mythos
That’s like a word play of Joseph Campbell’s book called “The Power Of Myth.” Which was a great book by the way. I think during my college years I read and watched every book and PBS thing Mr. Campbell ever did. I love authors and book like that. Unfortunately over the many years since I began reading on my own I’ve trained my Mind to be very selective with information. It’s just that I am a voracious reader in real life. I’ll read the back of shampoo bottles in the shower even. And so I just have no room in my brain to remember the titles over every thing I read. I just unconsciously retain only exactly what I need. Which all sinks into my unconscious part of my Mind as just potentials. Then I’ll use mental devices to draw up those ideas when I need them.
I’ve also read every book and saw most documentaries by Graham Hancock and his pseudo-archeological speculations. I love how he goes around to all these ancient places and temples like Indiana Jones and from just a pile of stone he can fabricate all these fantastical stories of a lost civilization of Atlantis buried beneath the ice of Antarctica. Then he changed his mind and thought Greenland was Atlantis. But then he changed his mind again and said it may have just sunk into the ocean after all.
I have all these people that have either inspired me or been an influence on me and how I think and see things besides DM/AL. Like the other great British guy, Alan Watts. I first found Alan Watts when I was in junior high. When I was a baby I used to cry nonstop and the only way I went to sleep was if my parents played the radio or TV on a boring station. So I’ve had this weird thing ever since then where I always have my radio playing softly by bed set to a very boring station where people just talk so I can fall asleep tranquilly. So in junior high I found KPFK [90.7] and used it as my background station to fall asleep to since it was had a lot of talking.
Every Friday nights at 12AM KPFK has this all nighter yap fest from Midnight to 6 in the morning of the world’s most boringest shit ever. Which was perfect because I fell asleep real peacefully. So every now and then on Fridays the station would play talks by Alan Watts, to which I fell asleep to. But gradually I ended up staying half awake to listen to things this guy had to say because I had suddenly grew interested in him and what he knew about Buddhist, Zen, and Taoism. So instead of helping me stay awake, I found myself staying up all nights every Fridays in bed.
That station also had these cool talk shows Friday nights where people with boring voices would read science fiction novels. They’d read a few chapters on Friday. Then a few more the next Friday. There were some really great stories that you can daydream to. But the irritating thing was you had to wait a whole week to get the other parts of the stories. And then they played this great kind of Techno-Ambient music in between their talk shows which I really liked. There was this one artist I really loved to listen to who had his own weird style of music. The music was a techno-Ambient beat but the guy instead of singing or rapping he just talked like he was telling stories about crazy things he did and how he felt doing them.
There was this one song I still remember where the music would play for 2 minutes, then he’d come in and whisper how he was walking one night past a old building, and he spent time describing in detail what the building looked like. Then the music would play for another 2 minutes. He comes back and whispers about him going into the building and how he was frightened of the dark, how his heart was beating, how it smelled of mildew inside. Then the music would play for 2 minutes. He comes back and explains in detail how he uncapped his gasoline cans and began to pour gas around the building, and how his heart was throbbing out of fear from being caught. Then the music would go for 2 minutes. He comes back and describes how he left the building and struck a match and ran to hide in a bush to watch. The music goes for 2 minutes. He comes back and the music in the back ground begins to pick up and he’s now talking in a louder tone about how the building was consumed by a bright flame and the smell filled the night air, and how he was masturbating to his work of art he made which made him orgasm from the glory of the flames that lit the night. Then the music falls and comes to a stop. I remember laying there on my bed, visualizing his narrative as if I were in the scene and at the end I said to myself: “Wow, that was intense! I can’t believe they play this stuff on the radio. I wanna be an arson too!”
I have a lot of other influences besides elders in my family. Minister Louis Farrakhan is a huge influence on me. When he was younger though. Today with all of his talk about Mother Ships and all, he just went somewhere I can’t go [off the deep end]. I love watching him preach. His style of preaching actually is the influence or inspiration, not what he talks about. Then there are normal living people I encounter somehow that either is a source of inspiration, influenced my Mind somehow or contributes Knowledge to my personal bank vault of Knowledge. Like Beesty Boy and his contributions to the ONA as well as his Ex-Ordo works. I’ve always secretly found his Caelethi, Sinister Tarot, The Tree of Wyrd, and SIR to be a source of esoteric insight. Magister Hagur whom is a personal hero of mine. He’s 70 years old and he’s still mad repping ONA in his own way. Hagur is a very intelligent man. I love his books “Becoming Another God,” “Dark Forces Words,” & “The Dark Gods In The Spheres,” which can all be found at his site HERE.
Then there are those people I follow whom I find online that have contributed their ideas/memes and Knowledge base and have influenced my thoughts and/or thought process. And these few may not even know me. People like MindFux from L316 wherever he is found in those networks. Dan Dread wherever he is found as well. I read Satanic Forums on a regular basis, so I end up picking out a few people I follow who have ideas and insights. Then there is Jason King. I’ve watched many of his videos and read his Postmodern Satanism book several times with a dictionary.
So I have a diverse resource of people and minds I draw from for raw material knowledge with which I end up building my own thoughts with. Why is the Tipitaka called the 3 Baskets? Because in ancient times workers used baskets to convey Raw Material to build things with. What do you do with Raw Material? You build with it. The stuff in the Tipitaka and the Knowledge we accumulate are only Raw Material. Knowledge is not the end of the Process. Only the beginning.
So those are just some people I find in some way, form, or other to be inspiring or influential; besides my two obvious influential giants Buddha & “You Know Who.” I just didn’t want people thinking I was some closed system where I’m just putting out “original” ideas left and right and that I’m so special I don’t need outside inspiration and influenced. Quite the opposite actually. I just restate things others have already said and thought, sometimes for over a thousand or 2 thousand years. It’s just that I simply take that Raw Material and build my own things with it for my own end purposes: ONA.
As far as Thought-Patterns goes, I personally classify Thought-Patterns – or “memes” – into 3 major species: 1) Speculative Knowledge, 2) Practical Wisdom, & 3) Mythos. Each are very different from the other and each function differently. Each are needed to engineer a fully functional Culture/Memeplex.
Knowledge
What do I mean by “knowledge?” I mean Raw Data or Raw Information which you and I can collect and accumulate from whatever sources or resources. Knowledge is not Gnosis. Just because you have a data bank stuffed with Knowledge does not mean you have Awaken to Realize anything [gnosis]. Otherwise our computers would be enlightened beings. Knowledge is just random idea and data. The sun is an orange class star, that’s a bit of knowledge. People are biological organisms, that’s a bit of knowledge. Time flows “forward,” that’s knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the more Raw Material you have to build with.
I break the word Knowledge into two separate words and further break them down: Know and Ledge. Meaning to Know your Ledge. A Ledge in Old English is a Legge; from the verb Leggen. Back in those times a Ledge was a Cross Bar or Barrier. Like a cross bar on a door to lock it, or a Bar of a gate. Have you ever been to a paid parking lot where at the paying booth there was a Bar, that’s a Legge. Have you ever heard the expression: “Pass the Bar?” That phrase comes from olden times when to take your exam to be a lawyer you had to cross the Legge of a gate of a Knights Templar compound in England to get to your exam place.
Back in those Medieval ages your village had a Legge. To cross it you needed an official paperwork giving you permission to leave your village. Like a hall pass at school. It was a crime punishable by death to wander outside the Legge of your village in those dark ages. You did not have any rights or business walking around beyond the Limits set and established for you. Were does the word “Villain” come from? A common villager. As a “citizen” you have Limits your authorities have set for you. You stay in those Limits if you are to be a “good” citizen. Leave those Limits and you are a heretic, villain, and a criminal: a threat to an established system meant to keep you in your place.
Do you Know your Ledge? When you have discovered a Ledge in Life or mentally, religiously, socially, physically, sexually, or politically, do you Cross that Ledge to expand your World, or do you choose to stay inside your diminutive Limits set for you by others? You know you have met up with a Ledge in Life when you say to yourself: “Nah, I ain’t fucking with that shit. Satanism, nah, I heard from random people that shit is crazy.” You know you have met up with a Ledge when you defend with conviction and passion your democracy, your capitalism, or your religion not knowing actually of an alternative and not allowing yourself to go beyond that Limit. The Limit of simply being born and raised and conditioned inside a democracy, capitalism, and your religion, your whole life. How do you Know of better alternatives, if you have never ventured outside of your Ledge? The more Ledges a person has the more diminutive and retarded their minds are. “Sheltered” is the word. Sheltered in the comfort of Bars.
Wisdom
You will never Know anything unless you cross your limits. Jumping that Ledge is the first step to Gnosis or Buddhi. KnowLedge is the first step. So the question can be asked of us: Once we Know something what do we do with that Knowledge? Which takes us to Wisdom.
I break Wisdom down into two “words,” Wis and Dom. Wis etymologically comes from the really Old English word Weid meaning to “See,” and is related to the Sanskrit word Veda, meaning Knowledge. To See meaning you can’t See shit unless you are directly standing in front of it. Which in Theravada is called Pacchakka, meaning to See shit directly with your own eye balls. Later Pacchakka was renamed Vipassana. Dom as in a kingDOM. From the Old English word Cyningdom. Which back then was also rendered as Kingrick. A Rick/Reich and a Dom/Domr meant the same thing: a domain or place in the Realm of Nature. Realm of Nature would be the Causal realm in ONA speak.
So Wisdom is taking what you See and have come to Know from seeing, and applying it in Life, or the Realm of Nature for results. Google Wisdom and you’ll get a page of the same definition. Wisdom is the application of knowledge.
The word Way/Ways and the word Wise are the same words. Way as in a Manner or Method or methodology of Doing something. As in the word Otherwise, meaning and suggesting that there is an Other Way of doing something. Or the word Likewise, meaning a Like Way. As in the words Anyway/Anywise. To be Wise means to Know the Way of Doing something.
So in practical terms to Know is to have read you car’s owner’s manual from front to back. The data you have collected is what is called Knowledge. You take auto shop in school to See with your own eyes what Knowledge you have collected. In auto shop you physically take cars apart and put them back together to gain the Knowledge of the Way and Manner a car is put together and how the parts work together. Once you have gone thru the Experience of applying your Knowledge, you have the Wisdom of how cars work. You are Wise with cars.
Understanding
Something happens to you inside gradually as you are directly exposed to the experience of putting together cars. It’s a Realization or an Emotional/Intuitive Apprehension, when you say to yourself: “Oh, I See, this part and that part does such and such, that’s why a car works.” That’s called Understanding, Gnosis, Buddhi, Revelation, Realization. It’s when the Essence/Potential of that Knowledge has Unfolded like a flower and you finally smell it’s fragrance. Like the smell of coffee waking you up – Awakened/Buddha – in the morning. Knowledge is like looking at a picture of a flower. Wisdom is the act of planting the flower plant. And Understanding is smelling the flower.
I break Understanding down to two words: Under & Stand. Under coming from the Sanskrit “Antar” meaning Among, Between; the Latin “Inter” meaning Among and Between as in International; and from the Greek “Entera” meaning your Guts and Insides. Together it means to Stand Among, Stand in Between, Stand Inside and in the presence of something. To fully Understand a culture or Kung Fu, you have to actually Immerse yourself inside that culture and be among kung fu artists and teachers Directly face to face, body to body. You go thru the Experience of taking apart and putting cars back together, and you develop an Understanding of how the car functions.
It’s like relationships. You’ll never genuinely Know how and what boys or girls are unless you have put yourself inside a relationship with one or several and directly experience them. You’ll never Understand a marriage and what its all about unless you Stand Under/Inside/Among/Between a marriage and directly Experience it. That concept of standing directly before and among something for Gnosis in Theravada is called Vibhajjavada, the doctrine [Vada] of Direct Exposure [Vibhajja]. In ONA and the Nunimous Way we have a similar – yet not the same – concept in Pathei-Mathos.
So we can ask ourselves: Who teaches us or gives us our Understandings of things? Who can give us our Gnosis, our Buddhi, our intuitive apprehensions, our Acausal Knowings? The answer is no one can. Understanding is a personal realization of something which can only happen Inside your own self.
And so in Brahmanism we have the concept of Sambodhi which means Self-Realization. And in Theravada we have the concept of Sambuddhi which means Self-Enlightenment. They are the same words in different times and dialects. The Buddha is called the Sambuddhassa, the One Who Understood things by Himself. Because you can only Understand or Realize things by yourself and on your own terms.
The story of the Buddha goes that after he ditched his kingdom he had been confronted by the 4 Adversaries of Life: Old Age, Sickness, Death, and a Shramana. Seeing that Life was not as pretty as he was raised to believe it was he became a begging Shramana: one who lives Among/Between the Shram [struggle/adversity] of Life. Beggar in Pali is Bhikkhu which is mistranslated into English as “Monk.” They are not monks, they are people who have ditched the system and become self induced beggars. Or at least they used to be.
As a Shramana the young Siddhartha wandered around India and joined every sect and Brahmanist cult he could find to try to figure out why life was so adverse, why it was such a struggle, why people suffered, etc. he bounced around from guru to guru and was never satisfied with any answers these religions and sects were giving him. He ended up accusing them of replacing his ignorance with just more ignorance. So he retreats into the forest to immerse himself in Life: the Forest, to see how exactly life works. So the time he spent with sects and gurus is him collecting his Knowledge, Raw Data. Putting himself directly in front of Life to see the Wise it works is the process of gaining Wisdom.
Under the Bo Tree one day while meditating he recalls a moment when he was a child. His father had taken him outside his palace and the boy Siddhartha spied in the distance a farmer plowing his field. He noticed that the plow had unearthed an earthworm which was wiggling on a clump of dirt. He saw a bird fly by, took the worm, and fed it to her babies in her nest. And Siddhartha at that moment Understood the fundamental process of Life: Causal Mechanics. He suddenly Realized – Buddhied – that people suffer from a complex association of causal inputs. The first major input is the ignorant actions of the person themselves: stupid people reap stupid results. The second source of input is the actions set in motion by others around them: steal someone’s pigs and they suffer. The third source of input to suffering was set into causal motion by nature itself: monsoons might water plants but they can drown people. The fourth source was set into motion by the peoples religions: if you believe in a caste system, you will be put into a caste. And the fifth was set into motion by the internal function of the kingdom the people lived in: military actions, economic action, laws and punishment. So he became known as the Buddha: the Awakened Guy. And the Samma Sambuddhassa: the Guy who by Himself Understood [sambuddhassa] the Whole Thing [samma].
Speculative & Operative
I’m putting speculative knowledge and practical wisdom into the same topic header because I really don’t want people thinking one is “better” than the other. They are just two different species of Thought-Patterning. In western philosophy they are referred to as Practical Reason, and Speculative Reason. There are hence, not one but two types of Reason.
Both types can be found in science. Speculative Knowledge are theories, hypotheses, conclusions, and beliefs. Practical Wisdom/Reason in context to science would be the 4 steps of the scientific method. You believe in one, and you follow/apply the other. But if you pay close attention, you’ll notice that at least with science your speculative knowledge is supported by your practical wisdom: the Way, Method, or Methodology of the Practical steps of the scientific method. One is born from thinking/speculating whereas the other is born from Doing/Experience.
Each can give rise to the other. For example if one day you saw a fish eat a worm, and you speculate: “Hmm, if fish eat worms, and I put a worm on a hook???” And you apply that speculative reasoning and actually fished for fish, then your act of fishing and generating results supports your speculations, which was born from your speculations. Then when you tell people: “Put worms on hooks to catch fish” it is called practical wisdom. Because you experienced it, gained your wisdom from the act, and if other followed it they get the same results. You debate and argue speculative knowledge, but you can’t debate or argue Practical Wisdom. No more than you would win a debate after being told: “Don’t drink and drive.” Because even if you did win such a debate, when you drive your ass home drunk, you’ll either kill people or yourself. Which was the end result the practical wisdom was trying to prevent in the first pace. Practical Wisdom in this case because others have driven drunk and have killed people or were killed.
Practical Wisdom is more important to tribes and living cultures. Usually in context to living culture practical wisdom is referred to as things like Customs, Traditions, Our Way of Doing, Our Way of Life. The practical wisdom of a tribe develops over time. I’ll give a great example that happened last year.
My aunt-mother went to the hospital after she fainted. We all freaked out but the doctors said that she’d be fine and my aunt-mother went back home. In a matter of months she lost a ridiculous amount of weight and was always tired. Then she started to develop these weird sores and bubbles around her abdomen which were filled with green liquid. Her husband took her to the doctors again over this. The doctors checked her and said there was nothing wrong with her but they removed the green bubbles and sent her home.
Later the green bubbles came back and she fainted again. We took her to the doctors again freaked out. This time the doctors said there was something seriously wrong with her [duh]. They checked her with an ex-ray they found a lump the size of a grapefruit in her abdomen. They rushed her to surgery to remove it. It was a big ball of green fluid. They couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. The doctors said she’d have to have a tube connected to this thing to drain it because they didn’t know how to stop it.
They let her come home with a tube in her side. And every day a little pint of green fluid was drained. But she got worse. She couldn’t eat any more. She had lost her appetite, when she ate things it was like the food didn’t do anything for her. She couldn’t walk anymore because she was literally took weak. Her husband took her to the hospital again. This time after the doctors told us that they will have to cut her open and look around and remove a few things if her condition or she will die.
Meanwhile my grandmother and the elders and my aunt-mother’s oldest sister and brother had seen the green bubbles on my aunt-mother. The elders recognized what was going on with her and they recalled as part of their ancestral tradition pasted down to them by their elders before that a tea made from a certain plant we call Marris Prow would fix her. Marris Prow is an herb and extremely aromatic in soup. The strength of its aroma is like oregano. It has heart shaped leaves and the leaves are ridged. My aunt-mother’s oldest sister said that she had a huge bush of Marris Prow in her back yard she cooks with every other day. So the elders planned on take that Marris Prow and buy as much as they can elsewhere and give it to my aunt-mother.
Except there were problems. First her husband was so freaked out he didn’t trust old traditional remedies. He said that he can’t risk her life for herbal tea. It’s irrational. The doctors know what to do. So everybody got into an argument and fight with him. My oldest aunt ended up saying that it’s her sister, and that they were sisters before he married her. That her blood and sister’s life is in her hands not his. He’s just a husband she found. The other elders got into the fight and said, my uncle-dad is young and ignorant of the old tradition, and thus has no understanding of what is happening to her and how to fix her. After the fight my uncle-dad just let things be and said to do whatever then. The other problem was the doctors. There was this big fight with our family and the doctors at the hospital. The doctors said that they wanted to cut her open and see what is wrong with her or she’d die. My grandmother said to hell with that, her daughter is not a farm pig they can just cut open on a whim. Especially since none of them really knows what is wrong with her. The doctors threatened our family and said that if my aunt-mother dies, we’d all go to jail for murder. My oldest aunt said: “Fine. I’m willing to go to prison for life for my sister. I’m not like you and your dishonorable people. That’s my sister, my blood, not yours.”
They wheel chaired my aunt-mother to my grandmother’s house, and we brewed that Marris Prow for her to drink 5-6 times a day. She’d drink liters of it every day. In only one month she was walking again and the green fluid had stopped coming out. Three months later she had gained nearly all her weight back because she was eating so much. She took herself to the doctors to have that tube from her side removed. The doctors checked her and said that she was perfectly fine.
So Practical Wisdom here means that its a species of knowledge which was not born from randomly speculating about things. Such Wisdom was born over long period of real living pathei-mathos of seeing people die and some people survive something like the weird condition my aunt-mother went through. The Practical Wisdom of using that herb Marris Prow to cure that condition was not speculative knowledge, not something which is a belief, or a theory. It was applied by many generations and people over time and to such people proven to work. You can’t argue or debate a people or culture’s body of practical wisdom they have accumulated, because such people have tried and seen the results.
The thing to keep in mind though is that to those people who have gone thru that pathei-mathos and experience and saw the proof, it is practical wisdom. But to “outsiders” unaware of such things, it can be speculative in nature. Such people with such practical wisdom have an Understanding of their practical wisdom born from direct experience and application. Outsiders who have not gone through that experience do not have that Understanding. So what is the bridge between Knowledge and Understanding? Wisdom. The wisdom born from personal and direct experience is the Bridge between what we have come to Know and what we will come to Understand. Wisdom is the nexion in other words between what what we Know in our Mind, and what we Realize in our Heart. So the steps to Understanding are: Mind, Body, Heart/Chitta. Mind as in Knowledge. Body as in Physical Action or the physical application of knowledge in the world to generate Wisdom, Heart as in the Inner apprehension of the Essence.
The three steps are the same stages expressed in the idea of the triple Goddess: maiden, mother, and crone. And also in the concept of Youth, Manhood, and Dotage. In our Youth as Maidens of boys we collect our Knowledge in Life, from our clans and people, from school. In our Middle age as mother or Man, we apply what Knowledge we have learned from our people to gain Wisdom. As in a Warrior ends up over time with the wisdom of war. As a mother who has experienced motherhood has the wisdom of mothering children to teach inexperienced ones. In our Elderly years as crone or old man, we gain a deep Understanding of Life from what deeds and actions we applied and committed in our past. And with that Understanding as Elders of a people we pass such Understandings down to the next generation and onward as gifts which were the fruit of a Life we lived in fullness.
This is one thing that turns me off about Western religions and culture. It’s that many Occidental religions is unbalanced and mostly speculative. To clarify the difference speculative is what you can juggle in your head. Practical is like boot camp. There is nothing to believe in boot camp. Boot camp is not a philosophy, or spiritually, or paradigm, or worldview. It’s just a Way of doing something others have done before. And after doing it you gain a corpus of Wisdom born from the experience which you simply cannot obtain from books.
I love how in Buddhism the Buddha gives you a list of the requisites that defines Dhamma as a dhamma. One of those requisites is that a dhamma must be testable in application and the conclusion the same for anyone who tests and applies it. In other words what the Buddha was saying is that when he says Cause and Effect is a dhamma or phenomenon that you yourself should and must test that out and see for yourself if an effect comes into being from a cause. So if someone came to you and said that a dhamma is that a blue skinned god named shiva is “real” and you and others can’t test that dhamma to see a blue skinned god yourself, then it is not a dhamma or phenomenon of Nature, no matter how they bend, twist, and parse their beliefs. Belief in something is very different from Doing something and gaining a personal Understanding of it.
And so a teacher is limited in what they can do for you. A teacher can only give you raw data, and he may also only be able to Guide you into the Experience of something. The Wisdom and Understanding must be up to you to manifest and come into. There is no such thing in this regard as a “teacher” who can teach you to be Wise and Understand things, because Wisdom is born from personal and practical application/deed, and Understanding is born inside each of us. No more than your mother or father can manifest inside of you the Wisdom and Understanding of what it is like to be a mother or father. You have to; by the very Nature of Mind, Experience and Realization; come to those things on and by your own time, terms, and means. Their guidance can only come to you in the form of Practical Wisdom based on what they themselves may have learned. Anybody who comes to you and says that they can teach you to be wise and understanding of things, themselves have no real practical grasp of how the Mind works, and what wisdom and understanding are.
When mundane Satanist say: “Satanism is a philosophy” are they saying that it is speculative or practical? Speculative. What’s a very familiar reaction we hear after someone has read the Satanic Bible? We hear them say: “Wow, it was like I were reading my own thoughts!” Is that speculative ideology or practical wisdom? If it were practical wisdom we’d hear people say: “Dude, I was experimenting with that shit just last week and the Satanic Bible somehow precisely expressed my very conclusions! It’s like me and LaVey went through the same shit!” You know what I’m talking about, when we go crying to our best friend about something our boyfriend did, and our best friend goes: “Mmm hmm, I feel you girl, he sounds just like my ex.” She said that because she has been through an actual Experience similar to what we were going through. And what advise she may give based on her experience is practical wisdom.
And this is my biggest turn off about Occidental memeplexes. It’s almost all speculative and zero practical wisdom. It’s all a nice a pretty mix of spirituality, philosophy, ideology, theory, belief, and a lot of fantastical stories. And some of them [Jehovah's Witnesses, Satanists, etc] even go so far as to tell me their speculative religions are a “way of life.” Like I’m stupid like them. Like I can’t tell the difference between a fucking thought juggling in my head and doing shit in life. How is it a “way of life?” Did it make you gay? It gave you weird medical conditions? Are you Amish now? You’re praying 5 times a day and planning a hajj now? Are you robbing people now whereas before you were law abiding? Did it give you an alternative to working a job? Did it give you a tribe to live with? Are you living in caves instead of houses like everybody else now? Can you seriously look at others around you not of your religion and say that you seriously live different from them? No you can’t.
If I wanted to believe in something, I’d speculate the stuff up on my own. It’s sad that it seems like the only place to find genuine practical wisdom in the West these days is in cook books and family recipes. Otherwise people today seem to treat ancestral wisdom like it were a disease to be avoided. You can love your grandpa, but whatever you do just don’t do what he says! He’s senile and he’s from the 1930′s. People today in the West got that Liberal Fever. They’re fevering to be liberated and free from some old timer era. There’s no place from practical ancestral wisdom. We have better things today like speculative mathematics and mainstream material science. The English word Elder is archaic now. People look at me like I’m an illegal alien when I use the word Elder. It’s like they say: “Damn, that bitch just cross the boarder from Canada or something! She be talking that crazy immigrant talk, Elder and shit! She’s got old people in her family, hang her!”
It’s one thing I really like about the ONA. It’s actually genuinely different, if you learn to actually see it with my eyes. There is a side to it that is practical. It has its practical wisdom. People like AL and the OG’s back in the days – and still today – really did walk the walk and do the dirty work. When people like AL talk about subversion and sinister deeds, they mean it. It’s documented. AL went to prison a couple times for putting in the dirty work and was under investigation by several law agencies and countries for his alleged-supposed-unproven-speculative-rumored connexion to some bomber in London who was associated with a group that was trying to ignite a race war. Now I’m not saying there is any connexion between any parties I named here. It’s just worth noting that the ONA seeks to disrupt society and in the old days race war was the strategy and coincidentally there was some alleged group AL was supposedly said to have been associated with which just so happened have the same racial objectives. But the point is ONA Elders like AL back in the day walked the walk and put in the dirty work. So when they share their insights with us its Practical Wisdom based on things they have put into application. It’s not speculative theories. And just like dhamma or a set of Dark Scientific experiments, if you and I would just put in the time to apply these methods, we’d get the same sinister results.
Mythos
Before the groups, tribes, clans, nations, culture, religion, practical wisdom, and speculative reasoning, there was and must first be Mythos. Mythos is what brings Like together with Alike. Mythos is the sound of the bell which causes the resonance. Mythos is when you place a thousand crystal goblets on a table and hit your tuning fork to Draw Out those that resonant with that vibe. Like attracts Like, but you have to find your Alikes somehow if you desire to form a group, family, clan, etc.
An example of the use of an easy mythos to engineer a coherent group was when I was at my second high school and my friends and I started talking the Asian Only rhetoric around campus to create a crew of Asians Only. The rhetorical mythos was just a device to collect people together and race was the easiest thing to use.
Another example is the Mythos of how the Khmer people came into existence. You have a Naga Princess named Mera bathing along the sea side and a Brahmanist Prince named Kambu who saw her and fell in love with her. They fell in love and mated and had what were called the Kamera, which is the ancient and current poetic form of Khmer. There is a part of the indigenous Mythos placed before this time of Kambu and Mera about how the people came to be living in Southeast Asia. The Mythos goes that the ancestors had come from Northern India and were back then known as the Kambuja. The Kambuja were a Kshatriya Tribe known for being very good with horses in battle. So when the epic war in the Mahabarata broke out the Brahmin Elder named Drona had come to ask the whole Kambuja Tribe to fight the war on his people’s side. The tribal elders of the Kambuja knelt before the Holy Drona and offered them their lives and service in the great war for Krishna.
The war was won eventually. In return for their timely service the great Brahmin Drona called the elders of the Kambuja tribe and said to them: “Because your people gave your service in battle in my name and honour, in return I will give your people your own land and empire. I will throw my staff into the air and wherever it lands shall your land.” And Drona threw his magickal staff across the air and it landed in the Southeast Asian peninsula.
As a Mythos, it is irrelevant whether this narrative is true or false, historical or fabricated. The intent of a Mythos has nothing to do with factual or fabricated presentation of of information. The intent of a Mythos is to manufacture a culture and praxis. For there to be a culture, you need at least a group of people sharing a common identity, common views, and common way of doing things. And this is what a Mythos does.
The fact is the indigenous population of Southeast Asia since ancient times were a people called the Mon. These are the same people by the same demonym in Burma. They used to be everywhere in the peninsula. The Mon and the Khmer are the same people. They even speak the same language of the same language family: Mon-Khmer. My late great grandpa who just past, when he was working politics once worked a charity for the Mon people in Burma. During that time he lived and spoke to the Mon people. He said he was shocked to find out that he was able to understand without much difficulty the Mon language. The word Mon in Khmer means First, as in the First people to be there. Strangely Mon and Moun means resembles the Greek word Mono. The old people say that before the Khmer called themselves Khmer they went by the name Mon.
What basically happened was that after traders from India had settled the area and Indian culture had spread and inspired the native population, groups of feral Mons tribes invented Mythos based on stories they heard the foreign Indian traders tell. Those mythos eventually induced a new group identity which brought the tribes together. Then these groups eventually diverged into their own people with their own distinct cultures and traditions. So the majority of the common Thai, Lao, Burmese, Vietnamese, and Cham, are all actually of the same Mon stock. It’s just that the indigenous Mon just either had their own mythos based cultural identities or matriculated into war lord kingdoms of the Thai, Nam Chinese [Viet], and Cham, etc.
So that’s the other aspect of Mythos which is less considered. Mythos sociologically also is a word that deals with a people’s set of customs, ways of doing things, and so on. Mythos sociologically does not mean a “myth” or fairy tale. It is a more robust word with more meaning. It means a cultural narrative, a set of distinct traditions, customs, beliefs, ways, and observances.
A great example of an actual live Mythos and what a Mythos was intended to do is found in the social ecosystem of Freemasonry. Back in the very early days of Freemasonry in England there was a guy by the name of Cavalier Ramsey. He was a tutor to one of the English kings at the time. He was a Freemason. His noble friends from English and French Masonry started to believe that it was unbecoming for nobles to be associated with an organization of common laborers. So the Cavalier gave a famous oration one day which is the beginning of the Templar Mythos. The oration basically stated that Freemasonry did not come from stone Masons, but was the direct descendant of an order of noble knights who fought during the crusades. The Cavalier never named this group of knights.
Later after this Cavalier dies a German mason by the name of Von Hunt took that Templar Mythos and beefed it up. Von Hunt actually named the group of knights the Cavalier mentioned to be the famous Knights Templar. He also beefed up his Templar Mythos by producing an entire set of knightly degrees of chivalry for Freemasons called the Strict Observance. The Strict Observance had this officer who was the secret Grand Master called the Knight of the Red Feather, or something like that, which was like the Ishmaelite idea of the Hidden Imam. Von Hunt’s Templar Mythos and degrees sold like hot cakes and captured the imagination of continental Freemasonry sparking the creation of a thousand degrees in France alone. Von Hunt’s Strict Observance is the Grand Mother of all Templar institution on earth from the 32 degree Knights Kodosh of the Scottish Rite, to the Templar Degree of the York Rite, to the Templar degrees of the Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mitzraim, to the OTO, and even a the non Masonic organization called the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem [The SMOTJ].
The intent of Mythos is to inspire and breed group identity, attract Alikes, induce common culture and praxis. And in the Masonic example, you can clearly see how this Mythos first developed as a vague lecture which grew to even currently inspire Hollywood movies like National Treasure and the like. The Mythos of the Templar is so powerful that it still captures the wild imaginations of today’s generation and causes them to speculate and theorize all adding to the life and force of the Mythos. This Mythos has produced tons of books, thousands of degrees, countless movies, public awareness and chatter, and for the Freemasons an actual culture and tradition that is at least now over 200 years old.
And if you doubt the power of Mythos, then all you really have to do is study any nations Military or better yet go join one. Or join a street gang or Nazi skinhead gang. Mythos not only engineers culture and tradition, it makes coherent military bodies that destroys and creates entire empires, that drives gangbangers to kill and go to prison, and racial hate and racial genocide. Tally the lives that died for and because of the Mythos propagated by Communism world wide since 1917. And think about it.
Mythos is what inspires, not text books and ideology. Most of us in the ONA knows that the common German people didn’t know shit about the actual ideology and principles of the NS party. They just heard the Mythos orated my the Mythos Maker: Hitler. They just heard what they wanted to believe at the right time: severe economic conditions and a dead collective morale. The rest of Europe despised the Germans. And with that Mythos, Hitler nearly took over the world. It took the entire earth’s Magian forces to stop Germany. You study closely the guys on the other side of the Mythos: the Party Liners, and you’ll begin to notice that those men although they were inspired by the Mythos, they used their NS as a causal form to get a job done. Those were the last 12 great years of the human race.
I personally believe that Hitler was the last of the great humans to ever walk the earth that had the power to collect and amass by enchanting them spellbound with mere words and Mythos. To inspire millions and millions to to fight for a dream or vision. Like Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Washington, Bolivar, even Lenin and Mao. After Hitler political leaders became officefags who just did their job for 4 years with a smile. This declining Aeon of Democracy is neck deep in mediocrity. We’re not inspired to do shit anymore. We have no more inspiration these days. I don’t even think we know what an inspiration is. One that stirs us with passion for something. But things are safer that way don’t you think?
As a Magian state, the last thing you want is for your populous to be emotionally excited with passion. Ideologies are safe. The most harm an ideology these days will manifest is arguments and asshurtness in forums. Citizens can’t take ideological difference too far these days, because we are led to believe that all people have the right to their beliefs aren’t we. It’s not right to step on other people’s religions and beliefs. How dare us. Philosophy is really safe. You can even philosophize quietly in a coffee shop and still be friends after wards. Spiritually is save and happy. Hippies and new agers do it. That’s fun for everyone. You just camp in the Sedona Vortex and beat n drums. Religion is safe too. As long as you keep your shit in your respective places of worship and follow IRS guidelines. Hell, the system even created rebellion oriented philosophies for rebels to rebel within the system. Just don’t break a law and stay inside.
But when you start to mix Mythos with Practical deeds you become a red flag to the system and their mundane goons. Think about it. It acceptable for citizens to be Nazis and skinheads, but why did the British authorities and intelligence community disrupt C18? It’s acceptable for you to be Christian, and a crazy one too. But why did the people at Wacko Texas get burned alive? There are a lot of organization you don’t hear about on the News which the federal government took out by force. Why? When does a belief like National Socialism become a threat to the establishment that the feds will use force to take you out and why? It’s a simple answer: Organization and Action. You can’t have either without Mythos and Practical Wisdon. But the system these days has a powerful tool to demoralize and soften Mythos. It’s called Scientism. The mundane fanatic belief that theories are truths and anything not truth is ignorance and primitive. You share any kind of Mythos with a mundane and they have been trained in school to use their Scientism to attack, demoralize, and desensitize your Mythos. Because theories are safe.
End Remarks
Myth and Mythos are two different things. Mythos does does not always take the form of a story; and sociologically it rarely does. Everything that we would hear Hitler presence thru his speeches is Mythos, the massive even pageantry and parades is Mythos. Mythos inspires in us passion for something, it inspires in us a new identity, it inspires a new culture. A culture is a Cultivation of Ethos. Mythos inspires a new way or mode of doing things, and new way of life.
The ONA has several Mythos. We have the Mythos of the Dark Gods, and the other one called the Vindex Mythos, which I personally think is the more potent of the two. Potent as in with the potential to inspire passion. This Vindex Mythos is already associated with the Vindex Ethos, or the Warrior Ethos. I’m already seeing nexions and Niners build their own Mythos based on strong feeling of dislike for The System which is actually inspiring. Eventually all of this needs to be mended together to the Vindex Mythos to make things more coherent. The objective is to engineer a current Mythos that not only inspires us but also others. Inspire as in to inspire in us and other not only a strong passion, and identification of groups, but also to inspire us to act, do, and more importantly to give birth to new cultures and new Traditions or to give life to old Traditions some of our people may have lost to Magian Ethos. In this way the Mythos we today spin, will be a source of inspiration to the Minds, Bodies, and Hearts of the future.
But Mythos without Practical Wisdom is pointless. It’s like exciting and working up a radical Muslim to the point where he wants to kill a Westerner, and not giving him the tools and practical method of actually doing it. Or its as stupid as going to a stripe club. Its excites you then what? Why bother because its just going to frustrate you. Frustration is the sign we pay attention to to learn to understand that our Mythos and Practical side of the ONA is imbalanced. What happens when someone sykes you out or works you up about something and never give you a means to release that excitement, if they do it too often? You leave disappointed. It’s the same way with these things called memeplexes. If they excite us, yet provide no means to venting our emotions or stops short of meeting our needs, we get frustrated, sick of it, and leave. You can only be tricked and teased so much, and then you leave. Having your institution imbalanced with way too much speculative ideology and none of the rest is a potential tease, out of which we will get nothing.
I suppose I’m writing this because I wish for the ONA to not degenerate. There are a lot of new Dreccs and Niners, and Balobians. We each do our own thing and what we do adds to the Kollective we call the ONA. If we don’t understand simple things like what the difference between Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding are. What the difference between speculative ideology and practical knowledge are; And what a Mythos is even good for, what we build together will come out lop sided. But if we each learned to understand what each of those things are, together with our respective Raw Material, we could Build ourselves an Empire. That is Aeonically.
