@Hollow This is what I'm wondering about. Why the sudden change? Such a sudden outburst of hostility. It's possible there have been some changes or that something is going on within the Inner Circle to which the outsiders, even if they belong to the ONA, are not privy to so they are just jumping on the hate bandwagon.
To quote the Inquisition: “Now, you either understand that a sinister-numinous mythos is or can be affective (a presencing) both via individuals and otherwise – that is, a type of sorcery, affective over periods of time in respect of some (not
all) individual psyches – or you don’t. Just as you either understand that THEM has an esoteric philosophy or you don’t. If not, and if you can be bothered, perhaps a reading of the works that fall under the umbrella Mvimaedivm and the Temple of THEM Wordpress, might help?
Furthermore, the esoteric reality is that a mythos developes an archetypal life of its own, after a certain point, especially if it has an ‘us’ and ‘them’ built into it and also resonates (to some) on a primal
level. Which of course is where stuff like (a) chaos, and (b) experiencing and unleashing forces beyond forms and adversarial, incitement, and (c) the Temple interpretation of phyrm and thrasz, and (d) the break down of illusory division (via a logos) into ‘us’ and
‘mundanes’, come in.
It’s not for nothing that someone once wrote: “In
my own life, I have tried to create some things which can disrupt our societies and which can lead to the creation of strong, really dangerous, ruthless individuals – some things which are so subversive
that no laws could ever outlaw them, and that attempts to restrain them, to outlaw them, would only make them more attractive to some
individuals.”
“Also, a mythos doesn’t have to be literally ‘true’ in all its details - which is what the latter-day satanists in their mundanity, and with their gospel, forget or don’t know or can’t comprehend. If a mythos
was literally ‘true’ in all its details it wouldn’t be a mythos. What matters is that it does have a foundation in reality from which experience is drawn and that – it inspires, enthuses, captivates, entices, over decades and beyond. That is, in exoteric terms it resonates – captures the imagination – of a certain type of person. A mythos presences an ‘esoteric truth’ and – in the case of THEM – a logos. That’s why it’s aeonic sorcery; that’s why it presences what it does – to resonate with a particular type of person over a long period of time who of themselves and in a natural way not only transmit it but evolve it. For
it becomes a type of being living in the psyche of certain individuals and then evolves to become an archetypal (and not entirely a conscious) form.”
Thus it’s amusing and highly indicative that the Inquisition and others go around demanding exoteric ‘evidence’ for the mythos or aspects of it – as in
needing hordes of people giving their real names
and publicly admitting to being members of THEM, and giving documented proof of their ‘sinister deeds’, etcetera – in order to prove to you that, like the
CoS membership cards of days gone by, or like a Wal-Mart store, ‘it is real’. If you understood aeonic sorcery, or mysticism, never mind basic
sorcery and the supernatural, you’d understand just how real a mythos really is and thus be able to perceive its affects and effects in the mundane world and even in cyberspace, presenced as these are
and have been in certain individuals and especially in and via their ‘imagination’ and what results (is presenced, manifest, created) therefrom. But of course the latter-day satanists have done away with
the supernatural, have no need of mysticism, and lack the imagination to embark on a life-long occult quest.
For what matters is not the sheer number of those who endure to the very end and reach the goal of that quest, but rather (i) that a few – a creative, very small minority, over decades and longer – do, and (ii) that many more are changed or inspired or affected in some way (however small) for however short or long a time, for such small changes and such inspiration and such affects (such mutations of
individual character – physis – and psyche) are, aeonically, cumulative, and thus over centuries presence – and bring into being – the logos.
But I’m guessing this is just way too outré for most, certainly it will be for the latter-day satanists with their materialistic world-view and their egoism.
Also, I’m not presenting anything new here, for everything I’ve written here has already been mentioned, or hinted at, in various THEM archives thousands of times, just take a look at Mvimaedivm Archives 2006-2009.
over the decades; just as, of course, this repacking by me of these particular esoteric truths is just one very very small part of that dialectical process that causes the mythos itself to live and to very slowly, and sometimes in a slithering way, spread…
