Fragment 12

To Begin to understand thought worlds, and their relations to egregores, and the gods , we must examine image-triggers or sigils. Not all image-triggers are abstraction, but they are all sigils. Abstractions only made up a small part of our image-triggers. An image-trigger becomes an abstraction when it is sublated, or brought into consciousness. An image-trigger must be conscious to be an abstraction. In other words when the image-trigger becomes conscious, we can exert some control over it. It becomes a sigil we can use.We can move it around, and user it for other purposes. This is why in magic names give power. Once something is named it is sublated into an abstraction.Some examples should made this pellucid. From history: the ancient Egyptians were using the Pythagorean theorem to redraw the borders of farmers fields after the Nile flooded and washed away border markings, and nothing else. It was Pythagoras who abstracted this into a principle that could be used for other purposes. From the individual point of view, Is when people recognize a phobia, or a sexual fetish it may still exert some control over the person, but the individual starts to control the sigil instead of the sigil controlling the individual. Image-triggers that are unconscious are not abstractions, but they are sigils. When the image-trigger is present it triggers either mental or physical activity. When the image-triggers are unconscious to the an individual it was put there by someone, or something else. An example is childhood trauma often impresses sigils in an individual that can last a lifetime. In other words, we are subject to someones else's magic. Their sigil has been impressed on us. This can happen unconsciously, and often does. This is why we see the same dysfunction run in families for generations. Alcoholism would be an example.The difference should be clear; abstractions must be conscious. When image-triggers are conscious they become sigils we can use for our own purposes. When they are not conscious they are someone else's sigil which other people can use to control us. The sigils of our parents and culture are the hardest to bring consciousness, thus the hardest to take control of. It is only through Black Magic that we can free ourselves form other peoples magic. It is true that some of our image-triggers or sigils are innate. Again when we consciously understand these sigils we can gain some control over them. When the sigils are combined or connected into a system or edifice they become a thought world. A thought world like a city built of bricks; the bricks being the sigils that are meant to control us. Of course, there are thought worlds within thought worlds. Example one can be Jewish or Christian and fit into Western culture. They are both thought worlds in the the thought world of Western culture. To create a thought world one must connect them, or bind them together. The glue that holds thought worlds together is emotion. This if why holidays, public festival are so important to any culture. This is also why religions hate people that do not have interest in their holidays: they are not controlled by the religion. This is why it is so important for any culture to get the right information on the right emotion to bind the thought world together. The Black Magos must always remember when someone is trying to invoke strong emotions in you, they are attempting to work their magic on you.To impress their sigils on you.The function of a thought world is to both restrict and to evoke control over the physical and mental activity of an individual. This is why collectivists (R.H.P.) are always authoritarian. They want everyone to conform to their thought world. This is the purpose and function of the right hand path. The right hand path, or White magic is an attempt together into a One. Of course they claim their One is an objective reality, so any dissent is either stupid, or evil. If one has any doubt about this, just read any progressive writings on the people that oppose them. For collectivists regard everyone that opposes them as stupid or evil. Collectivists (R.H.P.) are always telling us "they know better" and an elite should be making decisions for everyone. This is also the reason Progressives and collectivists always want to control education. They know children have not yet learned how to defend themselves, and childhood is the time to impress sigils that are extremely hard to get rid of. It is far easier to impress your sigils on children than adults, and takes much more work to get rid of than sigils that are impressed later in life. Black magic is the process of sublating or eliminating other peoples sigils. a Necromancer

Fragment 11

In order to understand thought worlds, Egregores, and the rest, we must turn our attention to the materials that make up thought entities. In simple terms, we must examine the mental brick and mortar that are used to construct mental entities. To do this we must understand thinking. I have examined these issues at some length in "5 Meditations on the Nature of Mind" @ processidealim.blogspot.com. Humans think in scenarios, this is the true nature of thinking. Thoughts are not static, but dynamic. It is the fixed abstractions that are the anomaly in human thinking. (I shall have much more to say about this in coming Fragments.). Next we must understand that information is carried on emotions and feelings. Emotions are the default search engine for the human mind and memory.Without desire, or appetition there is no consciousness. This is the mistake that present A.I. theorists make. The first degree of mind is instinct. This is very straight forward and easy to observer. A sensation triggers a response, that seems totally mechanical. Examples would be when a tree drops its leaves when the temperature drops, the changes of puberty occur when a child reaches a certain age. Let us examine the the tree example in more detail. The cold is what I call an "image-trigger". The term "image" is not meant to be confined to visual sensation, but could also be audio, tactile, etc. So when the temperature drops to a certain sevel the tree drops its leaves. This is also an example of a very simple scenario, although for the tree this scenario is totally unconsciousness. If the temperature does not get cold enough a tree still drops its leaves. (plants have analogous activity to animals they just do things much more slowly) This is where we move into the second degree of mind which I call intellect. The tree must figure out and decide to drop its leaves. It has been posited that the shorter periods of daylight is the new trigger, but the reason the tree drops its leaves is its desire, or will to survive. I have posited that life always wants to expand in space and time. the two most common ways of doing this to avoid death, and reproduction. The above scenario is why the philosopher Henri Bergson said that there is always sleeping intellect in all instinct. This appetition to expand is often referred to as "the will to survive" or "the will to power" in philosophy. What intellect does is allow the entity to change or adopt an new image-trigger If the new image-trigger is succeeds then it is turned into instinct by memory. When we have mastered a skill to the point we do not have to think about it would be an example. Let us examine another example. A hungry pigeon encounters rice for the first time. The pigeon inspects the rice (looks at it, smells it etc.)Then it eats some of the rice. The rice satisfies the pigeons hunger, so the rice becomes a new image-trigger for eating and hunger. Again we observe the information is carried on the emotions, and feelings. In the case of the pigeon the feeling of hunger is the feeling that carries the information (rice). The last degree of mind, I have called "imagination". Imagination is found in humans, and in a lesser degree in some animals.This is when a scenario can be lifted, or sublated (I use the term "sublate" to define a move to a higher level of abstraction) from their usual context, and examined, and judged. Let us use an example form the animal kingdom. We can observe this in rats that are taught to run mazes sometimes refuse to run the maze. It has judged that the treat for running the maze is not worth the effort.This seems the origin of imagination. Humans are always comparing scenarios to judge whether they are worth the effort. or the risk. Humans can also create new scenarios to attach to an image-trigger. Of course, for this to happen image-triggers must have been sublated into conscious activity. This happens when an image-trigger becomes an abstraction, or as I prefer a sigil. The term "abstraction" does not seem to capture the feeling-emotional basis of information. I shall have much more to say say about these issues in future "Fragments". To wrap up this "Fragment" it is interesting to note that the above discussion provides the key to the mine-body problem. (see my essay: "Dissolving Wittgenstein" @processidealim.blogspot.com.) That mental and physical process are activity. Physical scenarios can be rehearsed in the mind before being tried out in the physical world. In other words thinking. a Necromancer.

Fragment 10

With this Fragment, we start a new series of Fragments. In which we shall examine egregores, Dee's Watchtowers, and Astral Temples. In simpler terms we are going to examine thought forms, and thought worlds. And of course, I shall have more to say on gods, and demons. The term "egregore" has become popular in modern occultism. The two books that probably contributed most to the rise of the term "egregore" are Mouni Sadhu's "The Tarot" and Tomberg's "Meditations on the Tarot". I have also recently finished reading M. Stavish's book: " Egregores". So what is an egregore? The term is Greek and is usually translated as "Watcher". All the books use the term "egregore" very broadly, to cover collective human activity.I wonder if amimals that demonstrate collective activity have an egregore? In other words the term "egregore" is too broad to be useful. I am going to narrow the term to denote the gods of the various monotheistic religions: Allah for Islam, Jehovah for Christianity, Yahweh for Judaism, Brahman for Hinduism, and Utopia for the Political theologies (Communism, Nazism, Progressivism, totalitarian movements in general). So the key term in the definition is "collectivism". These are the gods of the collective religions, they are all emanations of Aten. Aten is the hidden god behind the gods of the monotheistic religions. The Gnostics were both right and wrong in positing a hidden god. They were right that there is a hidden god, they were wrong in thinking the hidden god is the good god. Aten is neither good nor evil, instead Aten is mechanical. As I have explained before Aten is the law of non-contradiction, continually working itself out. As expressed in Hegel's formula: Being, Nothing, and Becoming. Aten is an abstract, mechanical god, that only a logician, or a priori philosopher, like Spinoza, or Hegel can love. For the rest of us, he is an empty abstraction. So Aten emanates lesser gods. The way in which this works is when a person, or group of people accepts Aten as the primary principle, or paradigm of experience, the organizing principle of all experience, Aten emanates. Let me explain. We think in scenarios (I will have much more to say about this in upcoming Fragments), and these scenarios must be organized to be useful. So we have two factors the experiences or scenarios of though of a group, or an individual, and Aten (the organizing principle). The experience of a group is usually organized into a culture, the individual a part of the culture. Culture is of course how a group interprets the cosmos. Aten then organizes the experiences of the individual or group. This is what creates, what I have called the Individual mind, or homunculus (see my "5 Meditations of the Nature of Mind @ processidealism.blogspot.com). This is what is commonly called the self. Aten then organizes the experience in individuals. A group is formed of like minded people: the culture. The homunculus of the group is projected out to form an egregore, a basis, and imperative for collective activity. Thus the birth, or emanation of an egregore: Allah, Yahweh, etc. Let us use Allah as an example. Once enough of the medieval Arabs decided to accept Aten. Muhammid had a series of dreams that emanated Allah. Allah was emanated to unite and guide the Arabs. Unlike Aten who is highly abstract Allah took the experience and organized it; resulting in the Quran. As I have said before Aten must be set. This is what gave Allah his character. It seems one of the most lucrative occupations of medieval Arabs was hiring out as mercenaries for the constantly warring Roman, and Persian Empires. So it should come as no surprise Allah has the character of a Bandit-King. In the this series of Fragments I will have more to say about all of the above egregores, as well as thought worlds. a Necromancer.

Fragment 9

To be able to use and gain the benefits of Aten, we must learn how to bind Aten. We must make Aten our servant, instead of our master. By Aten I am talking about the law of non-conterdiction. Oddly enough it is the philosopher Immanuel Kant that shows us the method for binding Aten. Kant says that the law of non-contradiction cannot go beyond obsernations; that beyond observations Aten leads into Illusion. Which Kant calls: Transcendental Dialectic. Kant should have also added that Aten or the law of non-contradiction is also determined by the aim of the classifications we are interested in. Kant realized that the objective world is a creation of reason. And that reason resides in the subject, and not the object. The categories of Kant are innate in the subject, or individual people. In simpler terms, humans impose reason on the world, reason is not intrinsic to the cosmos. That is why we can use reason to sort out what we know, but cannot use reason to come up with new knowledge. This is also the purpose of Kant's antinomies. That reason can be used to come to contradictory positions. That through the use of reason we can prove that the cosmos had a beginning, or that the cosmos is eternal; is one of Kant's examples in the antinomies. This means that depending on what initial settings we give Aten, we can come up with contradictory conclusions. This is of great importance in our attempt to bind Aten, and use him for our purposes. Aten should never be used to go beyond present observations. If one cannot resist the attempt to do so, the resulting theory should be regarded as speculation, and not certain truth. Aten like the other gods should be a resource for humans; not a master. It is interesting to note that total submission to a god, only came about with monotheism. the traditional gods of polytheism never asked for unquestioning submission of the human will. Instead they acted more in partnership with humans to achieve a desired goal of both god and human.Venus for love, Mars for victory in battle are examples. The old gods had limited aims. We must now go beyond Kant and examine the role of aim or goal. The polytheistic gods are intentions; goal directed activity. A way to look at ehe world to achieve a desired end. Mars was to achieve victory in battle. So those that invoked Mars as their homunculus (guiding spirit) were trying to direct their internal, and external energies, and resources to achieve victory. A limited aim that could be dropped after the goal was achieved. The ancient Romans would close the temple of Mars when they were not at war. One did not go to the temple of Venus for the wisdom of Minerva. Aten also has a goal, and his goal is classification, but we use him for much more. We can set Aten by our aims. This can clearly be seen in the classification of primates. We get one classification of primates when we set the operator as origin (D.N.A.), and another classification when the operator is function. Some members of the primate family change their classification scheme, when a different operator is used. It must be noted that function and origin are the only two operators that can be used for objective classification. Myth uses physical and emotional resemblances to connect objects, or events. This leads into the biggest troubles with Aten, and monotheism. All monotheistic religions want to be universal, in other words to classify everyone. This fact is clearly seen in Christianity, Islam, and Marxism. All the above religions use different operators in their classification of the world, and claim to be the one true objective order of the cosmos. To sum up we must bind Aten, if he is not to be our master, but a useful servent. The way to do this is not to use the law of non-contradiction to made supposed objective pronouncements on the objective order of the cosmos. Instead classification should be viewed as a result of a desired aim, and the aim of the classification should be clearly stated at the outset. Only in this way can Aten be a useful partner for humans, instead of a divine tyrant. a Necromancer

Fragment: 8

It is time to understand the connection of consciousness, and religion, or more accurately with the gods. C.G. Jung noted that the "Old gods hild the consciousness of primitive men in thrall". My paraphrase. To understand the nature of the gods, we must also understand the nature of the gods, we must also understand the nature of consciousness. Consciousness is based on a duality. That a fragment of the mind can self-reflect on the contents of the mind. This is why the Neoplatonists hid that the One cannot be conscious, because it would make the One a duality. This is of course, not an issue that present day monotheists bother with, such it the arrogance of the present day. To understand consciousness it is useful to borrow a term from alchemy: The homunculus. The homunculus is the little man in the head.The director of conscious activity. Sometimes the homunculus goes under the name of conscience. The homunculus is a nexus of emotions and information that becomes identified with the "I" or the "self". The homunculus is the I, or the ego of the conscious subject. The duality that allows humans to both self-reflect, and direct psychic resources to a long term project. Therefore it enjoys the apex position in consciousness. The homunculus approves some some emotions and responses, while disapproving other emotions and activities that hinder or get in the way of the goal. Thus acting as a self-restraining mechanism, as well as a director. It seems this activity of being a homunculus was the original meaning and function of a god. In classical Egypt the definition of a god was originally wide enough to include deceased ancestors, as well as the classical gods. In other words ancestor worship is a form of imitation. It was only through this predictable and standardized activity that civilization could be built. Maybe, this is why all the ancient cultures believed their culture a gift of the gods. It should be obvious that no society can come about if the members do not check their emotions and emotional responses. We notice in ancient societies every profession had a patron god. This is how ancient societies could bind knowledge without writhing. The god of the activity is invoked. The rituals contain the information and emotions needed to carry out the desired activity. A simple example would be a god of the hunt. A ceremonial dance being the ritual. The dance is imitative of a real hunt, the physical activity of the dance would bring forth the memory of hunting in those that had been on previous hunts, and would prepare those that had previous hunts of the activity required for a successful hunt. Thus the god of the hunt is invoked by the hunting party. And so with all the gods, if one wanted to be a scribe there was Thoth, and embalmer Anubis, etc. The god becomes the homunculus of the person, thus directing the mental and emotional responses needed to carry out the desired activity. The gods exist both in the minds of men , and in the cultural artifacts societies produce. Examples of artifacts would be temples, art, writings, etc. The gods are also memes that can travel from person to person, or culture to culture. War-gods usually travel well. Everyone wants to be successful in war. This is why the chaos Magos Peter J. Carroll said: "Gods and men make each other, in each others image." To sum up a god is a nexus of information and emotion, that becomes the director of conscious activity in humans. Approving the activities and emotions that lead to the desired goal, and disapproving those that do not. As we know all to well from history and personal experience the director (homunculus) is often overwhelmed by contrary emotions, this is when a person is said "lose control." It was Akhenaten that first got eh idea (probably in a dream) that all humans could be unified under the dominion of one god: Aten. Akhenaten's experiment failed, but that has not stopped people throughout history of trying the same experiment. Even though it always fails. The activity that Aten is the patron of is the law of non-contradiction, the universalizing of thought and activity. The problem is Aten like all machines has to be set up. To be able to tell the difference between non-being and being. And the definition of Being is always a presupposition base on the geographic, intellectual, and emotional environment of a people. As I have said: Aten is like a giant threshing machine, always cutting away what is set a Being from what is set as non-Being or illusion. As I have noted in previous "Fragments" there is always a book or writings that tells how to set Aten. Examples would be the Bible, the Quran, Or Marxist writings. These writings the cutting blades of Aten, to what is acceptable, and what is unacceptable. And tose persons or doctrines that are not acceptable are cut away. This is why all monotheism result in dualism. Islam is usually regarded as the most uncompromising monotheism, and so is the most violent in what is cut away as false. The punishment of apostasy is death in Islam. Condemning Islam to perpetual violence. This is why Progressives always think they are in sole possession of Truth. Even though their Utopia always fails. And it is the reason that monotheism always turns in of itself. The many sects of Christianity, an Islam are good examples. The reason being that Aten's promise of a One is whether in theory (philosophic systems), or practice (political Utopia) is a lie. The is no perfect One in society or metaphysics. The trouble is all the failures have not resulted in people giving up on a perfect One. Instead each failure leads to a search for someone to blame. This can result in a reformation, but usually results in more cults, or persecution of a blamed group. Progressives blame everyone but themselves and their ideology for their failures, Islam blames unbelievers and those they think are not carrying out the orthodox faith, etc. All the sects believe they are in possession of absolute truth. This is the reason for all the violence in Islam, and why Progressives more and more oppressive as they gain power. Instead of realizing that their goal is a lie, they seek someone to blame. The solution is to give up monotheism, and not to try to fix it. Next "Fragment" I shall discuss how Aten can be bound and used only for his original purpose. By a Necromancer

Fragment: 7

Last "Fragment" I said I was going to show how Aten operates in practice, and where he resides, but I have decided that is too much information for one Fragment. So instead I shall present a very brief and broad overview of Aten in practice. In future Fragments on these subjects shall be examined in more detail. The aim of this Fragment is a brief overview. As I said in previous Fragments, Aten is the law of non-contradiction. Aten is a disjunctive syllogism. To use Parmenides as an example: There is either something or nothing. There is not nothing. Therefore there is something.' That something is of course pure Being. It is only when we get to Bohme, and Hegel that it is understood there is no end to the working out of the syllogism that is the essence of Aten. Aten is a constant cutting machine separating Being from non-Being. Bohme's infinite self-realization, or Hegel's circular system that is always in the process of becoming is the very essence of Aten. There is no rest in Aten, maybe that is why he is often called the living god., but more accurately he should be called the machine god. Aten is like a perpetual motion machine the cutting blades that separate Being from non-Being never rest. The reason is that Aten's promise of unification into a One is a lie. Whether it is metaphysical, epistemological, or political. Let me now turn to the main Cults of Aten active in the modern world. I shall take a brief look at Christianity, Islam, and Progressivism. Like all machines Aten must be set, on where to make the cut between Being and non-Being. In Christianity the setting is taken from the New Testament, of the Bible. In Islam the Quran, and Progressives have several books, the writings of Engels and Marx seem to form the main canon, with other writings of Marxism. In other words Marxism is the belief of the Progressives. Now lets us look how this always leads to dualism no matter how much they try to claim strict monotheism. There is always an enlightened group that is fighting ignorance, delusion, and lies: in other words those that oppose the so called enlightened group. In Christianity this translates into those who have accepted the faith, and those who have not, and so on with the other two Cults. Islam makes this distinction very explicit in the two Houses that divide the world. The House of Submission (Islam) and the House of War, those who have not submitted to Islam. The current Progressive paradigm is between the Globalists (Progressives), and Nationalists (those that oppose them). This is why all three Cults always refer to the group they oppose as not knowing what is real, and believing in lies. The opposed group always represents the non-Being that must be cut away and disposed of for pure Being to rule supreme. It must be admitted that the Cults differ in their methods and violence in cutting away of the opposing group (non-Being). Christianity usually tries to convert the opposed group through the use of missionaries and charitable organizations, but has resorted to violence in the past. Islam is one of the most violent and aggressive of the Cults of Aten. Islam also tries peaceful conversion, but has no qualms about resorting to violence, and humiliation of the opposed group which the Cult refers to as "Kuffirs" generally translated as "Infidels". Jihad or holy war is a sacrament in Islam assuring its practitioners entrance into paradise. This is of course to be expected in a Cult that is named for submission. For Islam submission is the goal, not freedom or peace. Progressives also quick to resort to violence, even though they claim to be peace loving. In the 20th century Communism killed one hundred million people to bring about its Utopia. It is debatable which is the most violent Islam, or Progressives? While Islam holds the record for any Cult in murdering non-believers, Progressives has managed to kill an astounding number of people in a short time. It must be noted while each Cult has a history of violence the violence runs in cycles. All the Cults are capable of peaceful periods, but never maintain them. In particular Islam and Progressivism both have the potential to turn violent without warning. It should be easy to understand why; the believer in both groups think they are going to bring about perfection or pure Being. In the case of Progressives this is the Utopian goal of One universal society. Again we see how Aten (the law of non-contradiction) always leads to a One. Aten always promises unification, whether in metaphysics the One, in epistemology a universal science (universal mathesis in the words of the enlightenment), or in politics the idea of Utopia. In all the groups the bringing about of their fantasized perfection excuses all the violence they commit. The falsity and illusion must be cut away and destroyed, for Aten to have perfect rule. As I have said, unlike Parmenides there is no real end to the cutting. This can also be clearly seen even if there is not an opposing group. The cutting blades of Aten are turned inward on the supposed favored group.This is why monotheistic religions are always Cults within Cults. By picking certain aspects emphasize in setting the cutting blades these groups start eating their own. In Christianity we see the division of Catholic and Protestant which in turn are made up of smaller Cults. Each thinking they have the true message of Aten. In Islam again the two major divisions of Shia and Sunni which again are composed of smaller Cults. this of course leads to the perpetual violence Islam is plagued with, since the punishment of apostasy is death. Once an Islamic group is claimed to be in heresy it is the duty of the true believers to kill them. And the history of Progressive movements is filled with killing of those that have fallen away or become counter-revolutionary. In the modern U.S.A. it is easy to observe how quick Progressives are to condemn anyone who steps out of line. This is why when Progressives take power it always produces paranoid societies. Where people are scared to talk or think different than the ruling Progressive platform. Progressives are always quick to punish non conformity. Next Fragment I shall look at psychology and the gods to understand where Aten and the other gods exist and exercise power over humans. a Necromancer

Fragment: 6

We must move to the time of the late Renaissance, if we are to understand the nature of Aten. To the terrifying vision of Jacob Bohme. Bohme is a very difficult to read, he did this on purpose. Thge reason was the vision Bohme had of the one god terrified hem, and did not want anyone who was not ready for the knowledge to understand what he wrote. Bohme of course, identified his vision of god with the Christian god, but as I have said all monotheism are cults of Aten. I will examine later why there are so many competing Cults of Aten. Back to Bohme's vision. In his vision Bohme describes god as a series of seven concentric spheres or circles; we shall use circles as concentric circles are easier to visualize. Try to imagine the concentric circles as wheels that are always rotating around a central hub. Each wheel represents a fountain spirit, or natural property in Bohme terminology. These wheels are the categories that explain and create all creation. Each category being present in every object, but with one predominating in the object. Each wheel also has a connection to the hub, where it exchanges energy. The hub is identified with the Second person of the Trinity, or the Son. This is the homunculus of alchemy, of which I shall have much more to say about later. The wheels are always turning like a great vortex, They suck up the unconscious aspects of creation and categorize them according to the fountain spirits or natural properties. It must be noted in Bohme vision of god that god is not all knowing, but constantly learning more about himself. In Bohme vision of god, god is always active, involved in his own self-realization. ONce the unconscious aspects are categorized, they become a further creation, which leads to more unconscious aspects of creation, thus the never ending activity of god. God is always abstracting, creating by the seven fountain spirits or natural properties. The reader should note the mechanical nature of god (Aten). Aten is like a perpetual motion machine.I will have much more to say about this in coming Fragments. This vision of Bohme leads us to the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel. Hegel was one of the most important thinkers of the 19th century, and heavily influence by Bohme. Hegel was able to turn Bohme's imagery into abstract philosophy. For Hegel god is the law of non-contradiction continually working itself out, abstracting, and cutting experience into categories of Hegel's logic. Both Bohme and Hegel saw god as a verb and not a noun. Let us examine Hegel's god or Absolute more closely. Like Parmenides's One, Hegel's god is the law of non-contradiction., unlike Parmenides there is no end point; pure being is never reached for all time. Instead the dialectic of Hegel's god is being nothing, becoming. Once pure being is reached it must be defined by what it is not nothing. The the two terms being and nothing must be reconciled or integrated, thus becoming. Hegel's term for this integration or reconciling is "sublate". This is Hegel's formulation of the law of non-contradiction. Again we see the mechanical nature of Aten. Aten is the threshing blade that constantly cuts the wheat form the chaff, or being from non-being. This is the true nature of Aten the constant cutting of being from non-being without stop or rest It is completely mechanical. Next Fragment I shall show how this nature works out in the various Cults of Aten. a Necromancer

Fragment: 5

In order to understand the nature of Aten, we must return to Classical Greece, but jump ahead to around 350 B.C. The time of Aristotle. There is no doubt that Aristotle's system of philosophy is a monument to the human intellect, and what it can accomplish. The problem with Aristotle's philosophy is that it is mythology. It is one of the purest mythologies of Aten ever achieved. Remember even the Neoplatonists viewed their task as to look at Aristotle's system through Platonic lenses. As I have shown in previous Fragments, Aten is the law of non-contradiction deified, and represented as a One. When I say that Aristotle's system is one of the purest forms of Aten's mythology, I mean less mythological hold overs from the old polytheistic religions than other mythologies of Aten (Christianity, Islam, etc.). Aristotle's system has provided the skeleton, or framework for all subsequent mythologies of Aten. It can be said that Plato invented the objective world, but it is Aristotle that made the objective world real, and showed how to create the objective view. The objective world is created by using the law of non-contradiction (Aten) to deep cancelling out properties, qualities, or entities that cannot be universalized, thus the same for everyone. The two criteria generally used to set the law of non-contradiction to create the objective world are function and origin. We classify entities in reason by function and origin. It must be said that sometimes these criteria do not agree with each other. An example would be in the two different ways to classify primates. One way uses function, the other origin (D.N.A.) giving different results. As I said myth. We must dismiss the modern understanding of myth as ignorance. Myths are useful, and often contain information. One only has to look at psychology to see how much information the Classical Greek myths contained. I shall briefly look at Aristotle's forms in relation to Plato's Forms. To begin there are three places where it has been said that reason resides. The first place is Plato's divinized mental realm, this becomes the mind of God in Christian theology, and is identified with the Son of the Trinity. The material or sensible world is only a reflection of the realm of the Forms. The second place that reason can reside is in the things themselves. This is the view of Aristotle, Spinoza, and Hegel. That the objects contain reason, the forms of Aristotle. The formula for this is the more necessary things are the more reason they contain. Aristotle's forms are the reason of things, while matter is what is contingent, or accidental in an object. The more reason something has the more it approaches absolute thinking (Aten). The third place reason can said to exist is in the minds of individual subjects. This is the view of Kant, on which I shall have more to say later. To get back to Aristotle. It is the law of non-contradiction that creates the objective world by cancelling out all that is not necessary in an entity. An example would be dogs. Dogs do not have to have the same color fur to be a dog. The fur color is an accident, only those qualities that are universal to all dogs are part of the form of Dogs. In this way Aristotle creates the Great Chain of Being by going from the most accidental to the most necessary (universal). This is how Aristotle created his cosmology from Earth to God, the Great Chain of Being. Earth and the space below the Moon is the most accidental, and contingent, the further one gets from Earth the more necessary the realm. Aristotle represented his as a system of concentric spheres, with the Earth being the hub, and the sphere of the fixed stars the outermost sphere. It is in the sphere of the fixed stars that motion originates, passing its motion on to the sphere below all the way down to Earth. Lastly, I must say something about Aristotle's God. In the "Physics" Aristotle places God beyond the sphere of the fixed stars, but this was to suggestive of subjectivity: a point of view, a reference frame. So in the "Metaphysics" Aristotle makes God transcendent, literally God has a point of view from everywhere and nowhere. God has the only completely objective point of view. Aristotle describes God as thought thinking itself. To understand what Aristotle means by this we shall examine the Terrifying vision of J. Bohme and the final formulation of Aten in Hegel next Fragment. a Necromancer.

Fragment: 4

As tempting as it is to continue to explore the mythology of Aten, if we are to understand how the mythology was created, and how to bind Aten and end his reign, we must examine the nature of Aten. To do this we must go back to Classical Greece in around 500 B.C., the time of the PreSocratics. The first thinker that I shall examine is Xenophanes of Colophon, who is said to be the founder of the Eleatic school of philosophy. Xenophanes is credited with being a great traveler. It is said he travel traveled the Greek world for 67 years. He knows the Ethiopians, he mentions them in his writings. Although there is no direct evidence that he ever came into contact with any Cult of Aten. I do not believe the Cult of Aten died with Akhenaten. Xenophanes teachings bear a striking resemblance to Akhenaten. So let us turn to the teachings of Xenophanes. Xenophanes ridiculed the idea of anthropomorphic gods, and the idea that there are many gods. Here we find the reference to the Ethiopians, that their gods have snub noses like the Ethiopians, while the gods of Thrace look like the Greeks. Xenophanes rejects polytheism in favor of one god. A god that is eternal, is not subject to birth, death, or change. That dwells outside of time. A god that comprehends all the things and moves all things, yet remains unchanged. A god that has no human passions, and is represented as spherical. There should be no problem seeing the resemblances to Akhenaten's teachings. No matter what name, or disguise the god of monotheism adopts, it is always Aten. The secret name of Yahweh, Allah, or the One is Aten. If we are to bind Aten and break his control this is an important first step. Xenophanes also has a dualism in the world of change, that of wet and dry. I must now move on to the central and most important figure of the Eleatic school, and one of the most important thinkers in the whole history of philosophy: Parmenides. It is in the philosophy of Parmenides that we shall begin to understand the nature or the essence of Aten, or as Parmenides calls him "the One".Parmenides most important contribution to world thought is the law of non-contradiction. When I say contribution I mean Parmenides was the first person to make the doctrine explicit. People use ideas long before they can explain or or express them in an abstract formula. So Parmenides is the first person to articulate the law of non-contradiction, and make explicit some of the laws implications. It is easy to observe how the law of non-contradiction is already implicit in both the teachings of Akhenaten, and Xenophanes. The articulation Parmenides comes up with is important and instructive to understanding the nature or essence of Aten. Parmenides uses a disjunctive syllogism to articulate the law of non-contradiction. That there is either something or nothing. There is not nothing, thus there is something. This something is the One (Aten). The One has a spherical shape, is eternal, and unchangeable. It is the ultimate reality behind appearances, and is identified with pure thought. It is time to introduce the Wheeler Principle. It was first formulated by Professor Mark Wheeler of S.D.SU. I was fortunate to be in his philosophy class when he first formulated it. the Wheeler principle states: that if you make the law of non-contradiction the centerpiece of your epistemology, you shall end with a One in your metaphysics. In simpler terms the law of non-contradiction always ends with a One if followed out to its logical conclusion. Admittedly there are different incarnations of the One, but the are all Aten. Before returning to Parmenides it is instructive to take a diversion to examine the different Ones that can be reached through the use of the law. There is what I call the Parmenidian One, which is a passive One. This is reached by continually eliminating things as illusion. The particulars of everyday life illusions that once we are freed from by the law of non-contradiction reveal the One, which is the bases and only reality. The next One I call the Empedoclean One for its inventor Empedocles. The Empedoclean One gets rid of the problem of the many (everyday particulars) by That the One is a process. The One has a cyclic historyof going from a solid fused sphere to and articulated sphere where the four classical elements of Western philosophy: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth; are separated into levels existing in the sphere. The Holy Mind (objective view) is only present when the One is solid. The third incarnation of the One is the active One. This is the most common incarnation of the One in history. I call this the Plotinian One after Plotinus. This is the One that emanates both the mental and material cosmos. This is also the One of most monotheistic religions. In this incarnation particulars are not illusions, but only partial manifestations of the One. Back to Parmenides. The One (Aten) is eternal, unchangeable, the ultimate reality behind appearances. The illusion of the many is dispelled, the One is the metaphysical substratum of everything. It is identified with pure abstract thought. Again like Akhenaten, Parmenides divides appearances into light and night. As we have observed and shall observe Aten always creates a dualism, this is a necessary part of his nature, that cannot not be done away with; dualism is an intrinsic part of Aten's nature in how he functions. That is enough for this Fragment. a Necromancer

When I finished "Fragment: 2" I thought I was finished with Akhenaten, and the original Cult of Aten, but I was wrong. I have more to say about Akhenaten and Atenism. So let us go back to the original Cult of Aten. Aten is depicted as a disc or orb. Aten is never represented as a humanoid figure or animal as the other Egyptian gods. The reason for this is because Aten is beyond creation, thus cannot be represented by created things, The Sun symbol is just a symbol. All this hould sound familiar, both the disc or sphere as a symbol, and not having images of the living god, as Akhenaten referred to Aten. I will get to why Aten is called the living god in another "Fragment". This symbol of a sphere is going to be a constant in the various religions of Aten. Remember I am referring to all monotheistic religions as various sects of Aten. No matter how the they prefer to name Aten, whether they name him, Allah, Yahweh, Brahman, or simply the One: they are all Aten, as we shall see. Even those who claim to be atheists have Aten as their god, a good example is the recently deceased physicist S. Hawking. Hawking conception of the ultimate reality (a no boundary universe) was a One. It is also interesting to note that Hawking was always one of the the most P.C. of scientists, always endorsing the progressive agenda (R.H.P.). Hawking was definitely a believer in the One (Aten). Another aspect of the mythology of Aten that shall concern us is the conception of life after death in a perfect City. A city of the Sun, as Akhenaten puts it. Atenism is always Utopian either in this life or the next life. In a myth that predated Akhenaten about Aten is becoming one with the One. Aten was around before Akhenaten, but just as an aspect of Ra. Monotheism is always Utopian, that perfection can be reached in this life or the next. I shall have much more to say on this topic in future :Fragments" since Atenism is the source and support of the R.H.P. I now move to the dualism that is in all monotheistic religion (Atenism). Dualism is the contradiction in all monotheism. Akhenaten taught that all creation is divided into day and night. Night is the time to to be afraid. Aten is a represented as a solar deity. The imagery of this in all monotheistic religions is so overwhelming that I shall give no examples. Anyone who is interested can look in the myths of Christianity and Islam if they are unconvinced, even the most cursory examination should suffice. Dualism plays itself out in all the cults of Aten, no matter what they call themselves. I shall discuss this in future "Fragments" and where and how Aten still exists. We live in the reign of Aten, and it is time for it to end. a Necromancer

Fragment: 2

We live in a world paradigm created by the R.H.P. The adherents of the R.H.P. have successfully imposed their paradigm on the consciousness of humankind. So it seems fitting that I should spend some time examining the origins, history, and the metaphysical foundations of the R.H.P. paradigm. We who follow the L.H.P. must understand the strengths and weaknesses of the R.H.P. , so we can eventually replace the R.H.P. paradigm with an L.H.P. paradigm. The most basic metaphysical foundational concept of the R.H.P. paradigm is monotheism. As we shall see even those that claim to be atheists in modern society such as Dawkins, Dennett, etc.; are in fact all monotheists. So let us go back into history to the origins of monotheism to start our examination. We find ourselves in ancient Egypt around the year 1350 B.C.E., the reign of the Pharaoh Akhenaten. Akhenaten is histories first monotheist, and like all monotheists he tried to impose the worship of his one god Aten on his culture. From hereafter I will always refer to the monotheist god as "Aten" no matter what else he is called: Allah, Yahweh, the One,etc. It must be said that the triumph of the traditional Cults of the polytheistic gods after Akhenaten's death is one of the only times that polytheism won in a contest with monotheism. Without going into a detailed account of Akhenaten's reign I shall offer some observations on the characteristics found in monotheism up to the present day. There can be no question that Akhenaten was trying to effect a transformation of society; the worship of Aten was not a purely intellectual experiment. Akhenaten may have been the first S.J.W. (social justice warrior) in history. Humans had not reached the level of abstraction where they could devorce their intellectual beliefs from practice. We know Akhenaten was trying, or did build a city for the worship of Aten. It seems most likely this was the first Utopian experiment in history. To bring humankind under one god. Akhenaten wanted to unify everyone under the rule of Aten. He wanted to get rid of the traditional Cults of Egypt to replace them with the Cult of Aten, with himself as the Son of Aten. Akhenaten did this first by proclaiming Aten the supreme god, to be quickly followed by Aten as the only god. This is of course the dream of the progressive S.J.W. to crush all diversity opinion in favor of their singular truth. It should no problem seeing the origin of collectivism in monotheism. The eternal dream of the monotheist. The emphasis on conformity, and equality, over excellence. The very same urge possess that of today's S.J.W. COLLECTIVIST. The essence of the R.H.P. Another clue to this can be found in the art at the time of Akhenaten. Akhenaten and his family are depicted in a naturalist style at work and play, doing ordinary things, instead of the divine dignity of traditional Egyptian art depicting the Pharaohs and their families.There is no question in my mind Akhenaten was a leveler. He wanted to suppress the privileges of the traditional cults. And again, like the modern progressive S.J.W. he tried to accomplish this by directing the money from the polytheistic cults to the cult of Aten (government). Everyone is owned by the government as the modern progressive expresses his conviction. The government becomes the universal religion that controls everyone's life and thought. We also notice in the depictions of Akhenaten a highly stylized depiction giving him a androgynous appearance. Akhenaten saw himself as both Father, and Mother to his people. Again the leveling or collapsing everyone into a single gender. Here we again see everything including gender must be blurred into a One. Before leaving Akhenaten we must make mention Sigmund Freud and his book: "Moses and Monotheism" where Freud expresses a theory that the original Jews of the Exodus from Egypt were actually adherents of Aten. That were driven out when the traditional cults of Egypt regained power after Akhenaten's death. That the Jews are actually refugees from Egypt the remnants of the Aten cult. That the Aten cult became the Jewish tribes that we know from the Bible and history. Freud's theory has not met with much approval among historians. For my own part I am inclined to side with Freud's theory, or at least that the Cult of Aten escaped Egypt and continued to have a deep influence after Akhenaten's death. Here we have the birth of collectivism, the R.H.P. paradigm that is still alive and well today. Next Fragment I shall continue to examining the history and development of the Cult of Aten the R.H.P. a Necromancer

I am an old broken down Necromancer, and have decided to do something I never thought I would. I have decided it is time for me to pass down what I have learned in the theory, and practice of Black Magic. This Fragment is intended to be an introduction of some of the material we shall cover. So we shall start by explaining some terms in the title of the blog. The reason the term "Fragments is used, is because it Black Magic can never be a complete system. It must be fragmented because it must be personalized for both the operator and the times she or he lives in. That is the reason the term "Fragments" was used instead of "lessons". I can only hope each reader shall take what they can use, and feel free to build or modify what I have said to their own needs. There can never be a Lodge, or Order to teach Black Magic, each operator must become her or his own mentor. The term "Black Magic" refers to a approach to magic much like Chaos Magic, or Quabbbalistic Magic. the difference is Black Magic has no system of worked out rituals, and Black Magic is exclusively L.H.P. ( left hand path) discipline, it has no place in R.H.P. (right hand path) theory or practice. The essence of Black Magic is to use the so called negative emotions (hate, fear, etc.) to destroy the unconscious programing that keeps us slaves. The goal of Black Magic is to achieve the Horrific vision, instead of the Beatific vision. In simpler terms, the goal of Black Magic is to go to the darkest deepest pit of Hell so the operator can crawl out the bottom and escape, much like what Dante describes in the "Inferno" . That the way to escape Hell is by going all the way through. Trying to crawl up and out of the abyss is a mistake many L.H.P. thinkers have made. An example would be Nietzsche and his imagery of trying to crawl up and out of the abyss, even though he Nietzsche knew it was impossible to crawl up and out. The only way out is through the bottom. The Black Magos must greet each demon as a friend. An example would be it the operator has trouble with anger to try to understand and claim the anger as her or his own. They summon a demon of anger to understand how anger has controller her or his life. Not by binding the demon, but by making the demon their own, and taking control of the triggers that summon the demon of anger. This is the briefest of sketch of some of the territory I shall attempt to cover. a Necromancer
