Conclusion — What Logically Follows
27. Three immediate reformations.
- Refer to proven philosophy for the moral and intellectual grounding of the Left Hand Path, not absurd ancient religions.
- Adapt the social custom of the Left Hand Path to proven contemporary norms. Terminate the evil, regressive, hierarchical church-temple tradition of religion, and instead unite in open, inclusive groups to advance the school of thought.
- Refute the irrational faith of white magic, and defend the honor of black magick.
28. Common questions.
Q: If black magicians abandon religion, then how do they study religion to find spirits for possession and evocation?
A: A sorcerer grounds the school of thought in philosophy as opposed to religion; then to uncover spirits for sorcery they dig through history to find root religions and their deities, which now reside on the astral plane as egregores. The two remain mutually exclusive, and do not interfere.
Q: Is belief in the supernatural the same as belief in the divine?
A: No, because the supernaturalist Multiplane Theory qualifies as valid logically, and the latest mainstream physics supports its premise with the Multiverse Theory. In contrast, the hypothesis of a god is thoroughly fallacious, and no substantive science supports it. Nonetheless, whacky fringe pseudo-scientists lust after proof for the existence of god in order to justify their irrational beliefs. They do science backwards in that regard.
Q: Should magicians feel suspicious toward demons?
A: Firstly, stop viewing any spirit as an ugly, evil Judeo-Christian-Islamic demon. Abandon that whole corrupt paradigm altogether. Instead recognize that the spirit might historically be a beautiful, honorable deity that an ancient tribe worshiped wholeheartedly for their own safety and abundance. Study the astral spirit in the context of its root religion, then let intuition determine whether it deserves to be idolized.
Q. What is magick?
A. Magick means causing astral forces to effect the physical plane. Consider the terms magick and astral synonymous.
Q. Is it divisive to distinguish between the Left and Right Hand Paths?
A. The core values and worldviews of the two paths are fundamentally different. An intellectual divide does factually exist between them; to ignore that would be grossly negligent. They simply are not the same. A black magician aspires to become a living god, whereas a white magician worships a godhead.
Q. If Western civilization is in decline, then did postmodernism fail?
A. Yes and no. Postmodernism became absurdist, as all intellectual movements inevitably do when they are still discovering their boundaries. For example, postmodern art became meaningless and frivolous—random paint splashes on a wall were deemed genius; literature became stupid—incoherent gibberish written on paper was called enlightened; wonks considered these absurdities illuminated merely because they broke modern molds, not because they possessed any sort of excellence. However, that culture of defiance-for-the-sake-of-defiance went too far, and has left a nihilistic moral vacuum in its wake, its obnoxious sucking sound can still be heard right now. The Millennial Generation today marks the inauguration of the post-postmodern era—what the author calls the Age of Übermensch or Age of Godhood. For this reason, the author insists vehemently that the Left Hand Path sculpt the face of its conscience into the marble slab of eternity posthaste. It is incumbent upon the living Übermensch and the living gods—black magicians—to ground philosophy again in logical virtues; but not dead modern values, rather the sublime values of the Left Hand Path: individuality, freedom, and power. It is not enough to revolt against an evil authority as postmodernists did, sorcerers need to flex their wings, and Ascend to Godhood.
May the cosmic blaze consume future generations.
