Preface

From Specifics Towards the General

This book is about magic. It explains in meticulous detail the techniques and strategies

that can be used to create a personal transformation of consciousness (this is the greatest of all

magic). Given this particular approach (magic being related to shifts in consciousness and

perception), this book is not about psychology - although that plays an important aspect

within this text. It is also not a book of magical incantation and ritual, you will not find

“spells” here, although the reader can leave this book with a way to practice effective magical

ritual. What you will find is a model of magical theory whose purpose is to aid he or she in

creating their very own spiritual independence. The platen and model used here is resonance.

This platen will be discussed in greater detail, and its individual parts shown to be a practical

magical formula for changing oneself. Also it is a formula for changing the external world in

which that above mentioned self lives within.

When talking about magic we are really talking about non-scientific (although there can

be some overlap) methods to create changes within two very clear cut human environments.

The first of these is the world of your own thought, emotions and understanding - your

personal inner world. The second of these is the world outside of your own thought, emotions

and understanding. It is the world of physical proportion and of physical items and the laws of

physics that govern them. Often times these two worlds are called the subjective and the

objective. Each can have an influence upon the other, and it is this dynamic sharing of

influence that permits the use of magic. Please think of that previous sentence and consider it.

Changes within these two worlds occur when you defeat the resistance that is formed

when one desires something from one or the other of these worlds. Resistance is what stands

between you and your stated goal or change. The form of resistance that I will primarily treat

here is that which involves spiritual change. It is upon this spiritual level that we can define

two very distinct methods of defeating resistance, and it is this distinction that forms the

cornerstone of this books foundation. Each of these methods has had long lasting impact upon

the state of humanity in terms of its religious, spiritual and philosophical belief. From there,

these influences have worked themselves into our social structures, our politics, our myths

and legends and our way of thinking.

These two ways, or paths can be described as the path of spiritual dissent and the path of

spiritual unity. To understand this a bit better we can say that the path of spiritual unity

depends upon the individual giving themself over to manners of conduct as determined by

their god/goddess/gods/doctrine/dogma in various ways. At the opposite side of this would be

individuals who engage in actions that are determined through independent criteria (such as

www.sacred-magck.com

personal experience) rather than through dogma or ritualized and established codes of

conduct. I will explore this in greater detail further on in your reading.

This book is not, as many would think, an attack upon god or anyone’s belief system. In

fact, this book reaffirms the importance of both these approaches. But, from the outset,

understand that this books is a proponent of the path of spiritual dissent. With that said I want

to state emphatically that the path of inner peace that results from personal unification with

god is valid. Just as valid is the path of spiritual dissent. Each of these ways reflects and

mirrors a cosmic and universal form of resistance - and it is the experiences discovered

through the overcoming this resistance that results in a transformation of the individual.

However, dependent upon which approach you use, the results will have different effects. The

most significant difference will be the way that you understand and use the experiences of

resistance. The path of spiritual unity takes you to god. The path of spiritual dissent takes you

away from god - in whatever form you believe he/she/it exists for you. Intention is the major

factor.

Humans, on the average utilize only 10-15% of their available brain power. This is the

state of man as he exists for the most part, and it is this state into which we are each born.

Further growth of your brains potential comes only through your desire, will, and actions to

focus on that exact task..But, be forewarned, extension and development of consciousness

offers no peace of mind, and no rest for the weary of soul and heart. Quite the contrary, it

brings resistance in the form of turmoil and confusion of the mind and soul. This only makes

sense. Part of expanding your brains ability is that it takes in more information. The more

information you take in, the greater the prospects of discovering resistance within the that

information. Now, if you stay focused to the task and work yourself through the resistance

you will change - experience is the cornerstone of change. The nature of this change, or how

the change is reflected within those two worlds I have already mentioned previously, is

determined by the path (spiritual unity or spiritual dissent) you take to meet that resistance.

All of this will be covered in greater detail further on in this book.

There have been many great books inspired by the path of unity with god. Few great

books have been written about the path of separation from god. This book is about the Left

Hand Path - the path of spiritual dissent. In this book I will cover the techniques, possibilities,

environments and psychological aspects of the Left Hand Path. There is no evolution for man

other than the growth of our consciousness. The odd thing is, this type of evolution - that of

consciousness - already has the physical portion (the brain) developed. It is only the potential

of the brain and mind that need be developed. The most difficult biological aspect has already

been taken care of. So, it becomes an individual decision to do what it takes to harness more

of that 75% or so that is open for development.

The ideas that I will present to you within this text are researched, referenced and

developed from materials that exist. However, these exact ideas - in order to change them

into something practical and useful other than data- requires a more general understanding.

Speaking from a strategic viewpoint, it is vital to present the ideas in somewhat general terms

. From that basis, the individual can develop the specifics for themselves. In other words, you

the reader, take the basics and fine tune them for your own individual self - the specific. This

is what I was getting at when I discussed models and platens.There is a necessity within the

path of spiritual dissent for the individual to act as a god and to create by moving from the

general to the individual specific. The major concept of this book then, is to act only as a

point of departure. It is from this template and model that creative, unique and individual

ideas come forth. However, I might quickly add that I do get into certain specifics.

Particularly in the section on ritual proxemics, what I don’t do is fill in the blanks - you must

do this.

Dissenting from specific ideas to extend them generally as a way to achieve individuality

lies at the very heart of antinomian principle. It is also defining of the antinomian path of

spiritual dissent. For instance, if you accept the generalities without creating the specifics for

yourself, then you are moving away from the entire idea of individualism. The strategy,

therefore, is to learn how to recognize objective consciousness and conscience within oneself.

One then uses that strategy as a tool for individuality. A self that is not based in cultural

tradition, religious indoctrination nor social expectations. Accomplishing this amounts to

engineering a new type of personal psychological construct in order to understand differently

- in a word it is a beginning - or Initiation. Obviously then, this book, if it is to be put to

practical application, is not for those who are satisfied with what they have been given. It is,

in the practical application type of sense, only for those who feel the necessity to become a

different being. It is a book for those that are inherently dissatisfied with what they have

already become. These are the people who will Seek the Mystery.

So, although (hopefully) this book is quite readable, it will only be useful to those who

have a strong enough of a spiritual question and irritation to scratch at it. The merely curious

will hopefully learn something about the antinomian character and go away better informed.

Adepts will have to read between the lines, and smell the roses.

Resistance is a useful principle for the antinomian who employs it to create transforming

experience. The result of overcoming resistance is not equal to merely ridding oneself of the

resisting influences. The consequence of overcoming resistance is a synthesis between the

experience itself and how one thinks and perceives their two environments as a result of that

experience. There is no better teacher than first hand experience even in terms of

metaphysical and spiritual events.

Magical work itself is a metaphorical philosophy of form, function and principles. It is

through these specific philosophical forms and their varied functions, and principles that

magical work is accomplished. How is this achieved? By the combining and recombining of

these “ideas” and how you experience them in terms of the resistance they create. Now,

understand that when I am speaking of “creating” it is very rarely within this book in terms of

a material object. The real creation I am speaking of is within the magician him or herself and

how they are perceiving our two worlds. Put another way, it is the experience and knowledge

of ideas that combines, distills, neutralizes and recombines into new forms of understanding.

It is from this platform that the magician changes, manipulates and alters their reality, and if

extended outward, shapes and shifts the reality of those that come into contact with that new

measure in the future what is to be.

What must be incorporated within the serious magical practitioner is the knowledge of

the principles, functions and form. This means a thorough familiarity with the symbolic, an

understanding of the inner significance and separate language that consciousness casts upon

those elements that come within its’ range of awareness. The tarot, the runes and the I-Ching

are all alchemical tools. The requirements to forge a useful tool is the knowledge and

information of operation and technical expertise. Knowledge must precede the method, and

so the first key is realizing that knowledge is absolutely necessary, and the second key is

engaging personally within an activity that involves the acquiring of that knowledge.

For the antinomian, this knowledge is only useful once its essential principles have been

separated from the inscriptions of religious, cultural and political indoctrination .

Resistance can be overcome through the processes of subtraction or distillation, addition

or expansion and augmentation, and finally neutralization which is a function of

synchronization. The first two of these processes - distillation and augmentation - are

interchangeable in the sense that they can both lead to the third process of neutralization and

synchronicity. These first two are not independent of each other, but are part and parcel of an

overall methodological approach towards the transformation of consciousness. We augment

www.sacred-magck.com

consciousness through acquiring knowledge, we distill the contents of knowledge through

experience. Through the vehicle of consciousness itself we can enhance this process by

becoming aware of personal affinity or magnetism towards certain types of cognitive

platforms which are the gates towards the discovery of the individual True Will.

Distillation and augmentation are the specific principle forms of the generalized concept

of expansion and retraction. In the quest for evolutionary consciousness distillation is the

functional process that leads inwards or retracts a consciousness of the inner reality within

the individual. The process of augmentation, or expansion is the aspect of consciousness that

leads out from oneself impacting upon the external reality of the individual. Synthesis occurs

when there exists a formulaic convention that allows the individual to prescribe upon them

self the contents of these two movements in such a manner as they influence each other

towards a single goal. This idea of a formula is of vital importance, for it is the formula that

prescribes the manner in which the process of future vision are achieved. Rightly understood,

the formula provides the fuel for achieving the velocity necessary to overcoming resistance.

The formula is the distillation of the specific functional principle, or grouping of principles,

into a short statement for the purpose of guiding an individual towards a cognitive platform

that enables transformative process.

The formula is an essential inscription into time that extends a specific key of

transformative knowledge.

Finally, a Word About the Psychology of Initiation

Let it be understood that initiation entails a great deal of psychological process, the intent

of which is to manufacture synthetically constructed perspectives of choice (will). These

outlooks of both the subjective (internal processes of consciousness) and the objective

(external result of consciousness) are the inherent rules of a form that will shape this initiated

vision. The ability to see what others do not within the same environment is your key to

power. To "do" (to accomplish the individuals True Will) results from being able to see. It is

only through sight that you see what needs to be done, and it is through the Will that the

choices “to do” are made.

There must exist a motivation to provoke the desire for constructing this new matrix of

ideas. Dissatisfaction with the current state of spiritual being and life’s affairs is a primary

catalyst for desiring change. If one does not have the need to change them self then they will

die as they have lived, for those who are already satisfied such attempts will result in a

shallowness of being, of an artificiality that is readily apparent. Therefore, the ideas contained

here are for those who are incomplete, who need to expand beyond their current vision of

life. Expansion results from understanding and "applying" what is learned by perceiving the

objective and subjective universe’s in new and unique manners. It begins with the destruction

of the psychological construct of "culture", "society" and "genes" that we are born with, and

of which we develop in our formative stages. It doesn’t mean abandoning culture or society, it

means stepping aside from them, evaluating them and then invoking them as property to be

used. Typically, individuals accept their born culture and society with little or no question of

it. It is ingrained from birth, antinomianism demands that all constructions be evaluated on

their own merits as to the degree it is useful for the development of the individual.

Expansion is a movement away from a point. The first point you will move away from is

the cognitive platform that has impacted you by the order/beliefs/icons and affinities of

society, culture and genetics. This is the first step, subsequent understandings will be built

upon what you begin to create from this "clean slate" of internal and external experience. The

state of man as he is, IS not to "do". You cannot change without "doing". To "do" results

from becoming aware and realizing something needs to be done on a personal level and then

acting. This is the Key, this is the Path.

The Left Hand Path Has Nothing to Offer to Those Who are Satisfied.

This is the essential condition necessary for starting the alchemical procedure. An echo

of objective conscience within the mind that says to the self : “what I have been given does

not feel right”. This is then followed by a search for the miraculous, for the transforming

element, to find individual “rightness”. This type of transformation leads to the Path of

theTwo Ways - the Path of Unity, or the Path of Separation. This book is for those whose way

is the Path of Separation, and the transforming element is the cold icy vision of a desert night

where the stars becomes as Gates. This is the Book of Salt.

The Nature of Evil or....The Devil Made Me Do It

" No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. The only right is what is after my

constitution, the only wrong what is against it." ...Emerson

To understand the nature of evil is paramount towards glimpsing into the character of the

antinomian spirit. The antinomian is a reflection of this evil in the sense that the principles

which govern their actions are based upon the transference of the pure form itself into the

activities that the antinomian is engaged within. These activities can also be understood in a

more muted and distant fashion in the sense of an affinity towards ideas that have been

inscribed into the passage of time by the actions of other antinomians. Such affinities pick out

patterns of ideas that extend into the cultural milieu and then retract - leaving their imprint

upon aspects of the social fabric to be carried into the future - if they are recognized.

The True nature of evil is inscribed within the movement of humanity as various forms

of cultural, political, environmental and genetic inscriptions. Its understanding is not

forthcoming, and not very easily recognized. The true nature of evil being occult and hidden

from those whose personal tendencies are oriented towards the goals of the Right Hand Path.

This tendency towards assimilation, or unity of oneself into the universal order is the

hallmark of the birthed self.

There is a common social understanding of evil as solely consisting of various anti-

social activities. Actions that defy the rules of law, ethical behaviour, and social conduct.

Under this definition murder, theft, assault and various activities descriptive of criminal

behaviour are easily categorized. However, in the context of personal spiritual growth, the

term evil is devoid of these types of activity. Within this context EVIL exists upon a different

plane of understanding that has nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with the common

criminal behaviours that I have just described. Now, spirituality can and does in some cases

mediate the sociological causes of criminal activity through psychological transformation. All

of this is part and parcel of the psychological basis of initiation, i.e., personal transformation

into preferred states of consciousness.

This last statement deserves a bit more elucidation to make clear. Behaviour modification

is a technique that operates as a technique in and of itself regardless of the trappings that the

procedure is enshrouded within. This is not meant to imply that the technique can stand alone.

Rather, that the content of metaphor, symbol, myth and religious doctrine (in most cases) that

is placed upon the platen of technique is mutable. The trappings give a personal significance,

they also provide sociological and cultural/political importance for the masses who partake,

or have knowledge of the conversion. The technique is a blank slate of psychological

operations whose importance to the individual is obtained through their culture and social

conditioning.
