The Methodology of Mage Myatt was written by Darky, or written & put together I should say. It is perhaps, in our eyes, one of the most important and revealing pieces one can ever read on the Essence of David Myatt and what we know as Order of Nine Angles. The most revealing part is the very last long quote by the Mage Himself, which is the reason why we had to archive it here. If you genuinely desire to understand the man and what it essentially means to be – live – ONA – as Myatt has/is living it, the last quote is the alpha et omega:
[Quote Darky's "Methodology of Mage Myatt"]
David Myatt
According to many – if not most – of those involved with the various, world-wide, nexions of the Order of Nine Angles, the ONA is a particular Occult (esoteric) methodology: an elitist and dark, or sinister, methodology, whose primary aim is the inner transformation, and thence the evolution, of the individual; the creation of a new type of human being, and then the creation of new human elites from and by these evolved individuals.
Kudos is given to David Myatt (aka Anton Long) for creating this now influential ONA, with Myatt himself being understood – by those of and involved with or influenced by the methodology of the ONA – as one example of this methodology in action, as evident in this recent quote:
” Chloe: Myatt, how do you make sense of him? Is he a Nazi, a Satanist, a Muslim?
Kayla – Can’t he just be David Myatt? Do I change as a living person every time I change my mind? Am I truly a different person when I insight role as someone else? No, I’m still Kayla. It looks confusing from a localized perspective. Lets take a Fijian for example. This Fijian was condition mentally to bind his self identity with the single island he was born into… Fiji. Now he looks and observes an American. This American was born in Japan, works and lives part of his year in New York, has relatives in London, and relaxes for several month in a home in Vegas. From our Fijian’s localized perspective which he was mentally conditioned to see, this American is confusing… is he Japanese, a New Yorker… a Londoner… or a Nevadite (or whatever they are called in Nevada)? Do you suppose our American is confused about what he is? No, to him he is just a person, maybe an American that travels into different places in search for things. The same with Myatt. You are not the label you wear, nor the beliefs you assume; you are a person experiencing these labels and beliefs. We should have all learned this from insight roling. Myatt is just a man on a personal quest for personal enlightenment. He may have stepped into National Socialism to extract some insights he wanted, and when he got it, he moved on. He may have assumed Satanic beliefs for a while to extract what insights he saw value in, and then moved on, to a new system with new insights, adding to his collection, which pushes him forwards on his own personal quest; which really has nothing to do with me or you or anyone. It’s his thing, his life. The questions is- Can we learn from that? Doesn’t Myatt/Long offer us the same methodology he uses? It’s what makes the ONA such a practical and beautiful system of apprehension. It’s not a religion, a box, or closed dogma. It’s a collection of practical methodologies, which when applied in life/nature may be used to extract insight to aid our own personal quest. In the same way that Science is not a religion or dogmatic belief system, but a practical methodology… the Scientific Method… which when applied to life/nature may be used to extract/apprehend insight and understanding to aid in advancement. Just because a scientist who lives by the scientific method is a Nazi or a Muslim, does not mean that his methodology has changed or was given up. They are two very different things. In the same way that an Anthropologist who immerses himself in a tribal culture and “goes native” to extract and apprehend a personal, intimate understanding of the tribe, is still and anthropologist using the methodology of science. You can’t use minimal reduction and simply say Myatt was a Satanist and now he’s a Muslim. “
As Anton Long himself wrote, nearly two decades ago:
I, and others like me, are the darkness which is necessary and without which evolution and knowledge are impossible. I am also my own opposite, and yet beyond both. This is not a riddle, but a statement of Mastery, and one which, alas, so few have the ability to understand.” Diablerie: Revelations of a Satanist by Anton Long
As he also wrote, some years ago:
“For over three decades I have been on both a quest and a mission. The quest has been to experience, and learn from, the possibilities of life. The mission has been to change this world of ours: to move it toward the next stage of our human evolution. This next stage involves us in learning to develope, and use, certain faculties. In simple terms, the next stage involves us in growing-up: in living, behaving, as mature human beings, and in leaving home, that is, this planet.
The reality of the present is that the majority of people are far from human maturity, living as they do like human children in adult bodies, in thrall to their passions, desires, and easily influenced and swayed by other people, by rhetoric, by Media manipulation, by unconscious energies, and other such things.
A truely mature human being is one who has mastered themselves; one who can know and experience great sorrow, great happiness, great joy, great suffering, but who remains strong despite such things. Such a mature individual is unique, and truely free. One of the signs of our immaturity is that most of us need to assign labels to ourselves and others, for this gives us a sense of security, of identity. It enables us to believe that we “know and understand” other people. For a mature individual, the labels of society are irrelevant.
Thus, in my own life I have been many things, according to conventional labels… But these conventional labels are irrelevant.
The error is that life, being in essence acausal, cannot be described in the finite causal terms inherent in all such labels, categories, concepts and isms. To so describe it, is to limit and mis-understand it: to impose a causal perception upon what is not-causal…..
I have been a pioneer in the Art of Magick. I have created a practical system of training – physical, psychic, magickal, personal – which works: which can and which does produce genuine Adepts and Masters/Mistresses of Earth. I have also striven to go to the limits of presently existing human experience, involving myself in a practical, life-enhancing, often dangerous, way, with many ways of life. There have been dark deeds; there have been light deeds; confrontations with the essence. I have done this to learn; to understand myself and others; to distil from such experiences the very essence of life, of magick, itself. In one way, I am, could be, or should be, a role-model, for those inclined to voyage toward the next stage of our human evolution. In one sense, I have transcended beyond old, causal forms, devoid of labels, of isms, of rituals, even words. And here, in this one human life, are meanings; here is the essence itself; here is the stage beyond that of Mastery, which few recognize, and even fewer understand.
No doubt those who cling to the old Aeon, of immature human beings, will find some material in this present work to castigate me, and to use to try and discredit me and my work, as no doubt such people will continue to view me, themselves, others and the world through the primitive labels, categories and isms which have kept us in thrall for centuries. Some may even use some trendy theory in an attempt to re-interpret or explain my life and me as an individual. I do not care. I have never cared about such things. Indeed, such things make me smile, or laugh.” Preface to Presencing the Dark: The Weird Life of Anton Long, dated 114yf
