The mobile obeys the immobile.

Through the magick of the image, the awakened one commands reality—timeless, swift, sovereign. The mind, freed from the brain’s chains, acts as pure will: imago is imo ago. Fix the fleeting, slay desire, and the world bends. #Tradition #Magic #Hyperborean

Magic is the ars regia-virile, sovereign, beyond good & evil. Power obeys the centered, not the seeker. The magus is no longer man; he is the axis. #Evola #Tradition #Magic #Initiation

The Royal Art of Magic: 10 Forbidden Truths About Power

Title: The Magical Path: Power, Initiation, and the Regal Tradition
Tags: #Tradition #Magic #Initiation #Power #Evola

1. Magic as Superior Science – True magic transcends vulgar occultism, aligning with the ars regia—the royal art of spiritual dominion. It is not mere psychic manipulation but a path to primordial reintegration.
2. Spiritual Virility – The magus embodies spiritual masculinity: dominance, sovereignty, and detachment. Unlike passive mysticism, magic demands active mastery over forces, both inner and outer.
3. Power Attracts the Centered – Power seeks the initiate who has become an immovable axis—not the one who craves it. Desire for power scatters it; impassibility magnetizes it.
4. Dangers of the Powers – Powers are perilous. If the initiate’s inner resolve wavers, they consume him. Mastery requires unbroken tension—like a pillar unmoved by torrents.
5. Rejection of Powers is Absurd – Powers are intrinsic to the initiate’s metaphysical state, like nirvana. One does not "renounce" them—they are the chrism of his being.
6. The Misunderstood Magus – The profane imagines a magus as an ordinary man with added "powers." In truth, the magus is a different order of being—his desires and interests are transfigured.
7. Magic vs. Technology – Modern technology mimics low magic: automatic, externalized effects. True magic is causal evidence, an emanation of the initiate’s unified being.
8. The Heroic and Regal Path – Magic aligns with the warrior-initiate tradition, not priestly contemplation. The "hero" (Hesiod’s demi-god) reclaims the divine state through action.
9. The Trial of Active Identity – Some traditions (e.g., Islamic esotericism, the Bhagavad Gita) teach that mastery over action is the test—transcending ecstatic passivity for sovereign manifestation.
10. Beyond Good and Evil – The adept’s actions stem from the invariable middle—neither "good" nor "evil," but from the center, where opposites dissolve in the impersonal will.
"Power is feminine: she obeys only him who does not seek her."

On Magic and Its Powers

The term "magic" must be clarified beyond modern distortions—whether vulgar Anglo-Saxon pursuits of "personal magnetism" or the degraded forms of ancient ritualistic magic, which often amounted to mere manipulation of subtle forces for practical ends. However, limiting magic to these inferior expressions is shortsighted.

True magic aligns with higher initiatic traditions. The Persian Magi, for instance, were not mere sorcerers but bearers of a sacred science linked to power (mögen in Germanic roots). Even Christianity, while condemning "accursed" magic, retained the term magi for the three exalted figures at Christ’s birth—symbols of initiatic dignity. Renaissance Hermeticists like Cesare della Riviera spoke of magic as the art of restoring the primordial state, reopening the path to the "Tree of Life." This is high magic, distinct from ceremonial theurgy or lower psychic operations.

Magic, in its pure form, is the ars regia—the royal art of spiritual dominion. It is experimental, active, and virile, opposed to passive mysticism or priestly mediation. The magus embodies the regal tradition, which surpasses the priestly in its direct connection to the divine. Ancient kings—Egyptian pharaohs, Roman pontifices maximi, Persian and Japanese emperors—were not mere rulers but living symbols of transcendent authority. The usurpation of such titles by priestly castes (as in Catholicism) marks a decline.

The magus does not seek power; power seeks him, drawn to his centered being, his impassible dominance. Power is feminine, requiring a masculine principle to command it. But this mastery is perilous: failure of inner resolve means being consumed by the very forces one sought to wield.

Powers are not toys for profane desires. The true magus is fundamentally different from ordinary men—his being transformed, his interests elevated beyond petty ambitions. What the vulgar mind imagines as "magical power" (wands, spells, instant effects) is a caricature. Real magic operates from a state of absolute knowledge-causality, where act and will are one.

Yet magical operations can serve as initiatic training—a "sport" of the spirit, forging discipline and control. Beyond this, the adept who has realized his essence may act impersonally, beyond good and evil, as an instrument of the "Center." Such actions transcend human motives, reflecting the invariable middle where all oppositions dissolve.

Key Principles of Magical Power

1. Power Seeks the Worthy – Not pursued, but attracted by one who embodies centrality, hardness, and renunciation. Desire for power repels it; impassibility commands it.
2. The Danger of Powers – A lapse in resolve turns power against the wielder, reducing him below his former state.
3. Rejection of Powers is Absurd – Powers are intrinsic to initiatic dignity, like nirvana to the awakened. One may refrain from using them, but not "reject" their essence.
4. The Magus is Transformed – The possessor of true power is no longer an ordinary man; his desires align with his being, rendering vulgar ambitions meaningless.
5. Magic is Not Miraculous – True magic is causal, evident, and conscious—unlike the mechanical "wonders" of degenerate or technological pseudo-magic.
6. Magic as Initiatic Training – Lower operations can serve as discipline, but fixation on contingent effects is a deviation. The highest magic is action from the "Center," beyond duality.

The regal and magical path is one of virile spirituality, opposed to priestly passivity. It restores the primordial tradition—where the king was god, the magus was sovereign, and power was the natural attribute of the awakened Self.

https://www.slideserve.com/periodic_reset/modern-nationalism-is-a-hollow-shell-here-s-why

Modern Nationalism is a Hollow Shell—Here’s Why

A Nationalist ghoul:
"The term 'nation' is linked to the concept of birth. Perhaps if these individuals were born in that place and existed in substantial numbers, such a claim could be justified. However, if they were not born there, there would be no basis for calling it a nation. The Latin root of 'nation' is 'natus,' meaning birth."

Me:
The modern "nation" is but an empty shell, a lifeless form devoid of the transcendent principle that alone grants it meaning. Only the interior dimension holds significance—the race of the spirit, the eternal Tradition that stands beyond all temporal contingencies. Blood and soil possess no intrinsic value except through their connection to the supramundane.
You, who remain bound by the residues of dualistic thought, fail to comprehend: the external is nothing but a reflection of the internal. All distinctions dissolve in the realization of the One—there is no paradox, for separation is illusion. Only the principle is real.

Julius Evola critiques modern nationalism as a degraded, materialistic phenomenon devoid of any transcendent or spiritual foundation. In his view, true nationalism must be rooted in a higher, aristocratic principle—an organic unity of people bound by tradition, hierarchy, and sacred authority, rather than mere secular or collectivist impulses.

Evola distinguishes between:
1. Traditional, Superior Nationalism – An expression of a people’s spiritual and imperial vocation, aligned with the sacred and hierarchical order (e.g., the Roman Imperium, medieval monarchies).
2. Modern, Degenerate Nationalism – A materialistic, mass-driven ideology based on race, economics, or democratic populism, lacking any higher principle.

What remains in nationalism "devoid of superior elements" is:
- Collectivism – The reduction of the nation to a mere aggregate of individuals without spiritual unity.
- Materialism – An emphasis on territorial, economic, or biological factors (e.g., racial nationalism without a sacred dimension).
- Demagoguery – The replacement of organic leadership with populist or totalitarian manipulation.

For Evola, such nationalism is a hollow shell, a symptom of decline in the Kali Yuga, where true sovereignty (symbolized by the Kshatriya or king-priest ideal) has been replaced by profane, horizontal solidarity.

Title: The Supramundane Nation: Blood, Soil, and the Spiritual Hierarchy
Tags: #Nationalism #FalseNationalism #TrueNationalism #PseudoNationalism #Tradition #SpiritualRace #GhibellineImperium #AntiModern

1. Historical Degeneration: The modern world reflects a collapse from higher castes (sacred kings, warriors) to lower castes (merchants, masses), marking a regression into collectivism and materialism.
2. False Nationalism: Degenerate nationalism reduces the nation to a collective idol, demanding subservience to ethnic or racial identity, suppressing superior individualism.
3.Soviet & American Barbarism: Bolshevism revives primitive Slavic collectivism, while America embodies mechanized materialism—both converge in destroying spiritual hierarchy.
4. True Nationalism as Prelude: A restorative nationalism must reverse the fall, serving as a foundation for aristocratic rebirth, not an end in itself.
5. Hierarchy of Values: Superior culture demands the primacy of spiritual and warrior elites over economic and vital forces—rejecting pragmatism and utilitarianism.
6. Lagarde’s Principle: The "national" is a stepping stone—true value lies in the personal, the aristocratic individual who transcends blood-and-soil determinism.
7. Aristocratic Restoration: A warrior caste must emerge, embodying honor, loyalty, and leadership, to elevate the nation beyond democratic decay.
8. Beyond the Nation: The ultimate goal is a supranational spiritual unity (for example, Medieval Christendom, Roman Imperium), where elites transcend ethnic divisions.
9. Anti-Internationalism: Universalism must reject egalitarian humanitarianism, preserving ethnic distinctions while uniting through higher cultural principles.
10. The Choice: Nationalism is either a terminal phase of collectivist decay or the first step toward Traditional rebirth—depending on its direction.

Universality and Centralism

The Holy Roman Empire’s ideal reveals the decay of rulership (regere) when severed from its spiritual foundation. The Ghibelline conception upheld two principles: the regnum’s supernatural origin and metapolitical universality, and the emperor as lex animata in terris—a transcendent unity (aliquod unum quod non est pars) standing above the nations he governed. The Empire was not merely a material aggregation but a higher, spiritual order.

This universal function did not depend on brute force but on fides—a sacramental bond of loyalty that unified feudal communities without erasing their autonomy. True hierarchy permits both order and freedom, unlike modern centralizing states, which impose uniformity through coercion, reducing organic unity to mechanistic control.

Traditional civilizations—particularly Aryan societies—embodied pluralism within unity: families, clans, and gentes retained self-sufficiency in law, cult, and militia while adhering to a higher spiritual order. The Frankish model exemplified this, where nobility dispersed yet remained immaterially connected to the imperial center, like a nervous system within an organism. The Far Eastern tradition similarly emphasizes the ruler’s detachment—remaining at the spiritual hub while peripheral forces self-regulate, achieving order through invisible harmony.

Conversely, modern "empires" are mere bureaucratic or militaristic hypertrophies, devoid of transcendent authority. Authentic empire requires a race to overcome its naturalistic limitations, embodying a principle that unifies other peoples not by force but by elevating their latent potential. Without this spiritual foundation, imperialism degenerates into violent domination, a cancerous growth rather than an organic unity.

The secularization of rulership—divorced from sacred authority—leads to absolutism, which inevitably collapses into demagogic tyranny. This pattern repeats in history: Greek tyrannies supplanting aristocratic rule, Byzantine decadence, and modern totalitarianism. The Church, by denying the sacred nature of kingship (as in the Investiture Controversy), accelerated this decline, reducing the state to a temporal, popular construct. Thomism’s attempt to reconcile Church and state failed because Christianity’s lunar, passive spirituality cannot integrate the solar, virile principle of true imperium.

Frederick II was right: true freedom lies in obedience to a higher spiritual authority (the Empire), whereas submission to the Church—a foreign, sacerdotal power—is enslavement.

Awakening the Serpent Power: The Truth About Chakras & Kundalini (Beyond Psychology!)

Title: The Serpent Power: The Chakras
Tags: #Evola #Tantra #Yoga #Kundalini #Metaphysics #Tradition #Chakras #ShivaShakti #Initiation #HathaYoga

1. The Microcosm-Macrocosm Analogy
The body mirrors the cosmos; inner forces correspond to outer powers.
2. The Three Bodies
Material (waking state), subtle (dream state), causal (deep sleep). The fourth state (turiya) transcends all.
3. Hatha Yoga’s Goal
To awaken superconsciousness, not regression into trance or hypnosis.
4. The Chakras
Seven centers along the spine, each corresponding to a tattva (element) and a divine power.
5. Kundalini Shakti
Latent at the base (muladhara), coiled like a serpent. Awakening it reverses polarity from procreative to spiritual.
6. Prana and Apana
Opposing currents unified in yoga—solar (pingala) and lunar (ida)—consumed in the sushumna (central channel).
7. The Awakening
Kundalini rises through the chakras, dissolving duality (Shiva-Shakti union at each center).
8. Beyond Time
Sushumna’s ascent suspends temporal consciousness, leading to immortality.
9. The Sahasrara
Crown chakra—Shiva’s abode—final reintegration beyond form.
10. Rejection of Modern Distortions
Psychoanalysis (Freud, Jung) misinterprets yoga as therapy; it is a path for the elect, not the neurotic.

The Serpent Power: The Chakras

Hatha yoga, particularly in its Tantric form, is synonymous with Kundalini yoga. Its Buddhist counterpart is vajrarupa-guhya—the "mystery of the diamond-thunderbolt body." This discipline operates on the premise of a microcosmic-macrocosmic correspondence: all cosmic forces are mirrored within the human body. The Tantras declare: "That which appears without only so appears because it exists within."

The human body is not merely physical but comprises three dimensions: the material (sthula-rupa), the subtle (sukshma-rupa), and the causal (karana-rupa). Ordinary consciousness is bound to the material body, while the subtle and causal bodies correspond to higher states of being, typically inaccessible to the common man. Hatha yoga seeks to awaken these latent dimensions, transcending the limitations of ordinary existence.

Modern psychoanalysis, particularly the theories of Freud and Jung, fundamentally misunderstands yoga. Psychoanalysis reduces the unconscious to a dark, irrational substratum, whereas yoga treats it as a field of metaphysical realities that can be illuminated and mastered. Yoga does not aim to heal neurosis but to elevate a healthy individual beyond the human condition.

The Chakras and Kundalini

The body's occult anatomy consists of centers (chakras) that correspond to cosmic principles (tattvas). These centers—muladhara, svadhishthana, manipura, anahata, vishuddha, ajna, and sahasrara—are loci of spiritual power. The muladhara-chakra, at the base of the spine, houses Kundalini Shakti—the dormant serpent-power symbolizing latent divine energy.

Kundalini's awakening requires reversing the natural flow of vital currents (prana and apana), unifying the solar (pingala) and lunar (ida) channels, and directing energy through the central sushumna—the "Middle Path" leading to transcendence. This process dissolves temporal consciousness, symbolizing a metaphysical rebirth beyond death.

The Ascent Through the Chakras

Each chakra represents a stage in the reabsorption (laya) of Shakti into Shiva, reversing the cosmic process of manifestation. The lower chakras correspond to elemental forces, while the higher (ajna and sahasrara) pertain to pure intellect and supreme unity. The awakening of each center involves the union of its presiding deity (Shiva-aspect) and Shakti, dissolving duality.

The culmination is the sahasrara, the "thousand-petaled lotus" at the crown, where Shiva and Shakti reunite in transcendental unity. This is the seat of immortal consciousness, beyond all conditioned existence.

Conclusion

Kundalini yoga is not mere mystical experience but a rigorous path of self-mastery, demanding control over awakened forces. It transcends modern psychological interpretations, aiming instead at metaphysical reintegration—a return to the primordial, unconditioned state.

https://www.slideserve.com/periodic_reset/america-a-new-bolshevism

The USA represents the terminal phase of this proletarian revolution—merely the other face of the same anti-traditional force: the reign of massification, bourgeois decadence, and chthonic-lunar dissolution.

A Maga nationalist ghoul:
Nah. MAGA! FREE AMERICA FROM COMMUNIST GLOBALISM

Me:
AMERICA GAVES US MODERN SUCCESSION TO SOCIALISM: WHICH IS CAPITALISM

The Maga ghoul:
You're very ignorant. You don't know what you're talking about.
The end..
Capitalism is simply the free market. Every man takes care of himself and makes as much money as he wants or as little.
Socialism doesn't work and never has.
The end

Me:
It is crucial—not only for doctrinal clarity but also for practical action—that the men of the new order fully grasp the causal chain and the underlying continuity of the current that has shaped the political forces now clashing in the chaos of modernity. Liberalism, democracy, socialism, radicalism, and ultimately Communism and Bolshevism are not isolated phenomena but successive stages of the same degenerative process. Each phase logically begets the next, accelerating the descent. This is the age of the Third Estate then Fourth, the era of capitalism, democracy, and bourgeois decadence—the antithesis of true hierarchy and tradition.
The USA embodies the last phase of the proletarian revolution. It is merely the other face of the same subversive and anti-traditional force; 'the reign of quantity over quality'.
It is therefore the same collectivism, feminine-lunar-chtonic cult.

Polarization of Forces
Key Principle: Solar mastery over the Lunar ensures magic remains initiatic—never descending into mediumism or passivity
Generally, igneous (solar) force dominates in men, while lunar (receptive) force prevails in women. This allows the use of two sexes rather than cultivating both principles in one vessel. The advantage lies in avoiding premature exposure to the passive principle, which risks degrading magic into mediumship or obsession. By working with another being, you maintain positivity, later absorbing their exalted qualities once fortified.

The Failure of Modern "Resistance" Movements

Modern reactionaries—whether MAGA Christians, neo-nationalists, or neo-pagans—fail to grasp the esoteric truth: if the solar principle does not actively dominate the passive-feminine (lunar-chthonic) force, it is inevitably overwhelmed by it. This is the core failure of Western Christianity and its derivatives—they obstruct true initiatic understanding, allowing the same degenerate cult to resurface in new forms, forever barring the path to higher knowledge.

Title: The USA as Terminal Phase of Anti-Tradition
Tags: #Degeneration #SolarLunar #GhibellinePrinciple #Metapolitics

1. Proletarian Revolution’s Endpoint – The USA embodies the final stage of anti-traditional subversion: massification, bourgeois decadence, and chthonic-lunar dissolution.
2. Solar-Lunar Polarization – Initiatic mastery demands solar dominance over the lunar; passive receptivity (feminine-mediumistic) must never corrupt active virility.
3. MAGA as Failed Reaction – Neo-nationalists and Christians lack esoteric understanding, permitting lunar-chthonic forces to resurge under new guises.
4. Degenerative Chain – Liberalism → democracy → socialism → communism are sequential phases of the same downward spiral, all rooted in bourgeois materialism.
5. False Opposition – Capitalism and socialism are twin faces of collectivist decay, replacing hierarchy with quantity-over-quality leveling.
6. Traditional Imperium – The Holy Roman Empire’s Ghibelline ideal fused regnum with metapolitical universality, transcending mere territorial rule via sacred authority (lex animata).
7. Organic Unity – Feudal fides bound autonomous communities under a spiritual center, unlike modern coercive centralization.
8. Aryan Pluralism – Authentic hierarchy allowed self-governing clans/militias while aligning with a transcendent order (e.g., Frankish nobility, Far Eastern harmony).
9. Secularization’s Collapse – Desacralized power degenerates into absolutism, then tyranny (Greek tyrannies, Byzantium, totalitarianism). The Church’s denial of sacred kingship accelerated this.
10. Frederick II’s Truth – Freedom lies in obedience to solar imperium; submission to lunar-spiritual (Christian) authority is enslavement.

The Left-Hand Path: Transmutation of the Negative

Unlike ascetic traditions that reject intoxication and sexuality, the Left-Hand Path (Vāmācāra) seeks to transform the dissolutive into the liberative. Ordinary indulgence in sex and wine weakens the spirit, but the vīra—possessing inner detachment (virya)—uses these very forces to dissolve tamas (inertia) and catalyze transcendence.

Title: The Satanic and the Counter-Initiation in Modern Times
Tags: #Crowley #Satanism #CounterInitiation #Tradition #Magic #Subversion

1. Satanism as Peripheral Phenomenon – Modern satanism is often a sensationalist distortion, lacking traditional roots, serving as an outlet for rebellious or degenerate impulses rather than genuine esoteric knowledge.
2. Theological Dualism vs. Metaphysical Unity – Unlike the moral dualism of Christianity (God vs. Satan), true Tradition recognizes a higher metaphysical unity where destructive forces (e.g., Shiva) are integrated into the divine order.
3. Perversion, Not Mere Destruction – The essence of satanism lies not in destruction but in blasphemy, sacrilege, and the deliberate inversion of sacred forms (e.g., black masses parodying Catholic rites).
4. Involuntary Evocations – Degenerate modern practices (e.g., chaotic rituals, drug-induced states) risk unleashing lower forces, leading to possession or psychological disintegration (e.g., Manson "family").
5. Historical Cases of Demonic Possession – Figures like Gilles de Rais exemplify sudden demonic infiltration, where an individual becomes a vessel for dark forces, later collapsing into remorse once the invasion subsides.
6. Sex as a Magical Force – While sex can be a vehicle for transcendence (Tantra), in satanism, it degenerates into profane excess, stripped of ritual discipline and turned into a tool for degradation.
7. LaVey’s Bourgeois Satanism – Anton LaVey’s "Church of Satan" reduces satanism to a banal inversion of Christian morality, mixing Nietzschean individualism with theatricality but lacking genuine metaphysical depth.
8. Crowley: Between Magic and Satanism – Though Crowley adopted satanic imagery (e.g., "The Great Beast 666"), his system was fundamentally initiatic, aiming at magical mastery rather than pure inversion. His use of sex and drugs followed esoteric, not hedonistic, principles.
9. The Left-Hand Path’s Dangers – The "Left-Hand Path" (e.g., Tantric vāmācāra) can lead to transcendence but requires extreme qualification; without it, the practitioner risks being overwhelmed by unleashed chaotic forces.
10. Counter-Initiation and Subversion – Modern satanism reflects the broader work of counter-initiation: dissolving traditional forms to activate a formless, chaotic substrate, opposing the sacred order of true Tradition.
Conclusion: True esotericism transcends moral dualism; satanism, in its modern forms, is largely a degenerate parody, either a psychological rebellion or a dangerous flirtation with forces that the unprepared cannot master.

To properly understand modern satanism, we must first define the "satanic." In the Western tradition, Satan represents the "adversary" and the "principle of Evil," but this dualism is not absolute. A higher metaphysical principle transcends the opposition between a moralized God and his antithesis, embracing both creation and destruction, light and darkness—as seen in the Hindu Trimūrti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva). Thus, Satan, as a purely destructive force, could be reintegrated into a broader divine dialectic.

True satanism, however, is not merely about destruction but perversion—deliberate blasphemy, sacrilege, and contamination. This distinguishes it from simple black magic or sorcery, which may pursue immoral ends without necessarily invoking satanic forces. Historical examples, such as Gilles de Rais, illustrate sudden demonic possession, where an individual becomes a vessel for dark forces, only to collapse into remorse once the possession ends.

Modern satanism often lacks depth, degenerating into sensationalism. Groups like LaVey’s "Church of Satan" reduce satanism to a crude inversion of Christian morality, celebrating hedonism and strength while stripping away any transcendent dimension. This is not true satanism but a banal neo-paganism, devoid of genuine metaphysical tension.

A more serious case is that of Aleister Crowley, whose "Thelema" doctrine went beyond mere provocation. Crowley’s system—centered on the "True Will," the divine nature of the individual ("Every man and every woman is a star"), and the magical use of sex and drugs—retained an initiatic core. His rituals, though often theatrical, sought contact with higher (or lower) forces, distinguishing his path from mere decadence. However, the risks were severe: those unprepared for such encounters faced disintegration, while the qualified could harness these forces for transcendence.

Ultimately, satanism’s danger lies in its potential to unleash chaotic, subversive energies—whether through blasphemous inversion (the black mass) or misguided magical practice. The true initiatic path, by contrast, seeks to master these forces, not succumb to them. Crowley’s legacy, though ambiguous, points toward this higher possibility, even as it flirts with the abyss.

Magic and Initiatic Realization in the Modern World

Beyond theosophical, anthroposophical, and neo-mystical spiritualisms, certain modern currents exhibit a tendency toward the supernatural with an initiatic and magical character. However, deviations abound, particularly when coupled with an "occultist" attitude—marked by obscurantism, pretentious mystery, and an affectation of authority. True esotericism demands discipline, not theatrical secrecy.

Magic manifests in two forms:
1. Operative Magic – A science of directing subtle forces behind phenomenal reality, transcending mediumistic or parapsychological phenomena. It involves conscious manipulation of hidden laws governing both psyche and external nature.
2. High Magic (Theurgy) – A spiritual attitude emphasizing virile self-mastery, opposing passive mysticism. It seeks an ascending transcendence, forging an immortal, sovereign individuality beyond the mortal "I."

Gurdjieff and the Crisis of the Modern "Machine-Man"
Gurdjieff’s teaching centers on the realization that ordinary man is a "machine," governed by automatisms, living in a state of "waking sleep." True being lies not in the ephemeral "personality" (a mask shaped by external influences) but in the "essence"—the latent, transcendent core. His methods, often brutal, aimed at shocking disciples into awakening, though risks of psychological disintegration were high.

The Magical Path: Immortality Through Self-Integration
Kremmerz, Meyrink, and Lévi emphasize a realist approach: spiritual truth must be known, not believed. Their doctrine posits that immortality is not given but achieved—through the crystallization of an incorruptible "spiritual body," forged by stripping away the illusory layers of the "historical I." This requires:
- Conscious Neutrality – Detachment from instinctive reactions, emotions, and collective psychic residues.
- Active Regression – Dissolving successive psychic strata until reaching the pre-individual, primordial state—the threshold of true "awakening."
- Magical Integration – The liberated consciousness no longer perceives "gods" or "spirits" as external entities but recognizes them as manifestations of its own transcendent nature.

The Dangers of Ceremonial Magic
While ceremonial rites can produce visions or effects, they risk reinforcing illusion: the practitioner mistakes evoked forces for independent beings, perpetuating duality rather than achieving integration. True magic demands direct mastery, not intermediaries.

The Modern Crisis and the Elite Path
Today’s world, obsessed with power yet devoid of true spirituality, is hostile to initiatic realization. The modern "will to power" is Luciferian—a profane distortion of the magical ideal. Authentic theurgy belongs to the very few, those capable of absolute self-transcendence.

The primordial tradition endures, but its path is barred to the mediocre. As the Gospel says, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence—and only the violent (in spirit) shall take it by force.

Metaphysical part:

On the Left-Hand Path

To understand the nature of Divinity and its relation to the world, two paths may be followed: the deductive and the inductive.

The deductive path begins with an a priori conception of Divinity, derived from revelation or dogma, and seeks to reconcile it with worldly reality. This approach encounters difficulties when Divinity is conceived in moral terms—as a benevolent Creator, God of light and love—since the world undeniably contains darkness and suffering. Theodicy, as seen in Leibniz’s assertion that this is "the best of all possible worlds," attempts to resolve these contradictions but remains limited by its moral framework.

Marcion took the inductive path, reasoning from the world’s nature back to the Divine. If God is wise, good, and omnipotent, the existence of evil forces a choice: either God is not omnipotent, not wise, or not good. The Marquis de Sade radicalized this view, positing a malevolent God, with evil as the dominant cosmic principle—leading to an inverted ethics where vice aligns with divine will.

These antinomies arise from rigid moral dualism rather than ontological understanding. The Orient offers a broader perspective: a Supreme Principle transcending all opposites (coincidentia oppositorum), exemplified in Hinduism’s triune Divinity—Brahmā (creation), Vishnu (preservation), and Shiva (destruction). This inductive approach acknowledges the full spectrum of existence.

Here, the Right-Hand Path (aligned with Brahmā and Vishnu) affirms tradition, law (Dharma), and sacralized order. The Left-Hand Path (Vāmācāra), under Shiva (or his Śakti, like Kālī), embraces detachment, dissolution of norms (adharma), and transcendence through destruction—not chaos for its own sake, but as a means to surpass the finite.

The Left-Hand Path is not nihilism; its destructiveness serves liberation. In the Bhagavad-Gītā, the "supreme form" of Divinity manifests as a crushing force, urging Arjuna to embody transcendence beyond mortal weakness. Similarly, Left-Hand practices—including ritualized transgression—dissolve conditioned forms to evoke the formless. Sexual rites, for instance, are not hedonistic but alchemical, using "corrosive waters" to shatter limitations (love = death).

Yet this path risks degradation. Liberating the "formless" (the demonic, in the pre-Christian sense) can lead to possession if not guided by transcendence. Authentic Left-Hand traditions, however, are not solitary rebellions but structured initiatory systems under gurus, where the adept is tempered by higher knowledge. The danger lies in stagnation at the destructive phase, mistaking dissolution for the end rather than the passage to what lies beyond.

Thus, the Left-Hand Path’s legitimacy rests on its orientation toward transcendence—destruction as ascent, not descent into the abyss.
