Against the O.N.A.

We are invisible, us Magickians. We cast our spells in the dark, to illuminate what we have already seen – and then move onwards, forwards and always up – to higher states of being; Higher levels of self understanding, interacting with and interpreting the world. Our eyes project more light onto where others see only darkness, or are blinded by a glimpse of our mind.

To those of you who live in my shadow: be ware of the ONA. It seems to have become another trend. Myatt left his order, because he had understood his “spelling” out of how he looked at the world: with the eyes of an artist, an aesthetic understanding. His mind made life beautiful, he revealed what was to many occult.

The problem with politics: Philosophy  (understood in the broader and moret raditional sense of the term) is a product of a certain physiological condition in which a persons energy flows primarily in their min. Through meditating we can strengther our lmiddle / “real” Elixier Field (Dan Tien) and have the energy in our mind sink to that it collects in that reservoir, like a river flowing to a lake.

This lowers the level of energy you have in your mind ang makes you wise (what the daoists call Wisdom Mind). You consequently understand the path (Dao) andand can distinxction betwen right and wrong, futrue and present, concentration and distraction, you begin tto be able to choose your thoughts. This is also the reason why many of these meditation practices have martial elements, because standing up for what is right is extremely dangerous.

The ability to differentiate between future and present (ie being able to know when one is actually concentrating and Being instead of having ones thoughts control ones life) means that the, from my experience, interet in politics declines, because you can see how political thinking (often) takes place in a certain unenlightened mental space in which desirethought is still an expression of desire and consequently a projection of thof oneself into the futrue. In other words, when we do not meditate we begin to plvce salvation in our ideas. That is the primary motive of people who want to rule ,and it is not wise.

Myatt’s Left Hand Path is an internal alchemical process; a quest. It is designed to transoform the individual. But the very un-occult promotion of ONA material on the internet (ie feeding this stuff to people who would otherwise not find it) reminds me a lot of marketing and all its flaws. ONA memebrs become statistics when the Order is promoted to be as large and popula as possible. In other words the group becomes the lowest possible denominator because those who wnt to grow the order still project their themselves into the future by the process just described. This I would contrast to the experience of life as a connexion which implies a simple dwelling in and feeding off the energy of places.

I would be interested to know what Myatt thinks of his order and what it has become.
