Where, oh where, do the chartreuse gateways lead?
A door to the state? To the stars? Clerically sketched with a green felt tip pen?
Is there slime in those gateways? Does it flow like Spring?
There is no one to know the thing which is most important.
No one like that. No one by that name. No one at all.
Unified theories dissolve and reconstitute.
Something horrid behind and beneath… outside.
The father. Yog-Sothoth. Ipsissimus Satanis.
Come to daddy…

Among other things, this essay might teach you about reciprocity. One thing for another. In today’s world, we know it as commerce… the buying and selling of everything. Spiritually, however, I’m talking about something else. I give, you take. The taker reciprocates by giving something in return. If reciprocity does not occur, then the gift will lose its value. Same principle as giving the Devil his due. If you call yourself a Satanist without worshiping Satan, then the Prince of Darkness ignores you (best case scenario). If you call yourself a Christian but do not struggle to be like Christ, then you will not be able to comprehend his truth.
I offer my slimy green wisdom, for what it’s worth. Those who offer me their support and, more importantly, their super-efforts to Awaken, shall forge an understanding between us… illuminating the way. Why I make super-efforts, why I continue to teach and lead the Cthulhu Cult, the importance of having a Fourth Way School – without taking a step into my world all of this shall remain a mystery.
One hand is reaching for the stars, the other is smashing obstacles down in the mud… watching and remembering all the while. If that isn’t the Cult of Cthulhu, then I guess I don’t know what real esotericism is. By the way, let me go on record saying something right now. This essay is magically charged and intentionally hypnotic. It is programing your mind by going in and out of a cyclical rotation of concepts. I’m implanting densely layered reality fragments via literary ritual. Voilà – viridian sorcery! The order in which these ideas are presented may seem haphazard, but I can assure you that it’s all for the greater good. Such is my will, and my will is the Work!
Among the foul, bestial, hideously incongruent sigils which were handed down to the first disciple, pulsating with an eldritch glow, one hears parched raspy croaking, Cultist ululations, and blasphemous inhuman chanting. The celebrants have arrived to call down those Outer Demons! We seek to be born anew; we have always sought the destruction of that which bears only withered and sour fruit. Destroy it! That old, tired identity is only a product of our fevered imagination. We are mired in our own bullshit. Why do the green stars have seeds?
This may be the most important question I ask you… Are you going to will the Work? If you have no interest in willing the Work, then please stop reading this essay; go about your ordinary existence. It’s a waste of your time.
“As long as we follow each one of our passing desires – as long as we are slaves to every passing mood, we cannot form a new will. So you must begin to sacrifice some of these passing desires and moods to the Will of the Work, for in order to have Will you must give up will.” ~ Mauice Nicoll
Now that is some inspirational wisdom from a Fourth Way Master. He’s right, of course. We cannot say “yes” to every inclination, to every possibility. Occasionally, we must say “no”. That is a sign of maturity and understanding. We’ve got to say “no” to the child who wants ice cream for dinner. “No” to the impulse which will later cause us deep regret. “No” to outbursts of violence. Though it may seem that way initially, the Great Work is not a system of no. There are many things to which we can answer “yes”. This teaching allows the individual a choice; that’s part of what makes it so potent. The Fourth Way is our blueprint (green-print?) to manifesting the Left Hand Path.
Every individual is responsible for his own states, his own moods, and his own actions. Don’t like being angry? Change it. Don’t want to be depressed? Change it. We may not love it everything that happens to us. That’s ok. Things happen to us all the time, but what do we make happen? Just how do we manifest our own will? Isn’t it about time we focused on creating a happy, fulfilling, rewarding life? I, and various other prominent Cultists, have provided a mountain of material for doing just that. But how much of it is seriously considered? How much of it is poured over and carefully studied? How much of it is put into practice? Something to think about…
Look at it this way, you have an unlimited number of roads to travel, but there’s only one road for you. You may be a multiplicity of ignorant, competing ‘I’s, but eventually, assuming you make significant progress in the Work, you’re many interior selves will grow closer to singularity – one ‘I’; a Master ‘I’. Consciousness indivisible! So, if a single road must be chosen, then you must make the choice. What road will you choose to travel? The road which requires the least amount of effort? I sincerely hope not. What a waste of life that would be.
Actually, that reminds me of the beginning to The Social Network film where the character who would create FaceBook is describing elitist clubs within the Harvard fraternity system. His girlfriend asks which club is the easiest to get into. Mark Zuckerberg takes offense to the question because it implies that he doesn’t stand much of a chance – that the least restrictive club is his best (or perhaps only) shot for gaining entry.
All I’m saying is don’t sell yourself short. Don’t take the easy way out. Be in this thing, life, for the long haul and the highest achievements. Right now, the only thing holding you back is yourself. From this standpoint, what path makes the most sense? What does logic and instinct tell you? Always take the most profitable road, even if it’s the most challenging. Always choose the best… the one which could take you all the way. Anthony Robbins taught me to raise my standards. Now, I’m passing his wisdom on to you. Expect more from yourself… much more!
This is why the Left Hand Path was formed. There is a road which leads all the way to Godhood. Why not walk that one? Sure, it’s not for the majority, but then this essay is not for the majority. Esotericism, if understood correctly, will never be popular because it is about inner development. Most people don’t want to complete their evolution. They want more Cheetos! As I was saying, this essay is for you – the dark seeker.
A sleeping man cannot choose any road, his road is chosen for him. Want to have the power of choice? Wake up! Watch what you’re doing. Observe all the miniscule patterns of your personality, especially those rooted in negative emotions, which have become habit and dominate who you are. We can Awaken once we realize that we don’t really exist at all. Our machine is animated by unconscious reactions. Pay attention to what’s going on behind the curtain.
Still a few people with me? Wonderful! Can you envision all that needs to be done? Physically, emotionally, and intellectually? Are you trying to Will the Work in this very moment? Does it live and breathe inside of you? Willing the Work is taking Self-Remembering and then manifesting it inside of you. With enough intensity, this inner manifestation is going to bleed through to the external side. That means objective reality will change according to your intention!
Intent and will are different animals, but they feed upon the same thing: desire. How much do you want it? How bad do you want it? What are you willing to sacrifice to get your heart’s desire?
Taking in valuable impressions can shock your machine into remembering why it’s here. What are impressions and what makes them valuable? Impressions are pictures, scenes, words… bits of reality which affect us. Those reality fragments that inspire us to make the most out of our life are valuable. We could easily replace the word “valuable” with “conscious” or “intentional”. Such impressions have a purpose and that purpose is to wake us up. What meaning can we extract from yesterday’s altercation, today’s fascinating discussion, or tomorrow’s frustrating situation?
Why are you here? Let’s start with why you’re on the Cult of Cthulhu website reading this. Chances are you’re not altogether satisfied with either yourself, Generally Accepted Reality, or the interaction between the two. Why are you alive on this planet? Human beings are born with the seed of a soul, something which no other lifeform on earth has – the potential for higher states of consciousness. Unfortunately, we’re born with only a spark of undeveloped, albeit conscious energy. This potential is universally squandered. We get out of bed, react to everything we come in contact with, and go back to bed at the end of our day. We sleep throughout our lives. Not ordinary sleep, but a limited state of awareness where we have virtually no control. If I were to break it down for you, giving the briefest of explanations for the Cthulhu Cult’s raison d’être, then I’d say the CoC instructs man on how to Awake.
Why are we asleep? I believe we’re asleep because it benefits someone or something. Who could possibly gain from our mechanical nature, our sleeping soul? Probably, whoever constructed this prison of a world. Does it matter? Only if having an identifiable enemy moves you to fight harder. Here’s the real question. Should we continue to silently suffer in the passenger seat or should we instead struggle to break free, to command the wheel, driving the vehicle to a destination of our own choosing? You decide the fate of mankind when authoring a new reality.
What is “will” and why do magicians and esotericists sometimes capitalize it? Will is the vehicle and results are the destination. The energy it takes to manifest one’s intent is will. Occasionally, will is capitalized to reinforce its importance. Nothing can be consciously or intentionally done without it. Yes, it’s that crucial. Unfortunately, the average person’s will is the equivalent of a 90 pound weakling. Sleeping people don’t have much willpower. Don’t believe me? Prove me wrong! Wanna bulk up so consensual reality won’t kick sand in your face? Familiarize yourself with the Work!
The will of the Work is similar to the will of power. Something is present, separate from man… a force gradually building just below the surface. We do not see it, but those who are sensitive may feel a resonance or hear its ultra-telluric whispering. This is what I spoke about in another Left Hand Path essay. A Left Hand Path practitioner must get himself under control. A certain amount of self-submission is required. The old self must be burned away in apocalyptic green flame so that the new self can be born.
Just about everything is arbitrary. We assign meaning to all sorts of things… this is what human beings do. You and I could be talking about raspberry cheesecake! It doesn’t matter. If you find something aesthetically pleasing, then use it. Don’t be too concerned about the justification, the why’s and wherefore’s. Get the results you need then move on to your next goal. As a religion, we use Dread Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones because it provides a nebulous and highly subjective framework. But there’s something else too. What Neil Gaiman describes as the ineffable rightness of Lovecraft. The Cthulhu Mythos is so primal, fantastic, and decadent that it captures the visionary qualities of religious texts. In essence, Lovecraft’s cosmological mythology became a religion even before his death. I merely helped provide a definitive exegesis.
But if you’d prefer to use Lucifer or Zeus, then go right ahead. As I said, the choice is arbitrary. However, results are not. Results are to be considered and judged. Tangible or intangible is not the question, present or absent is! Manifestation cannot wholly be determined by sleeping men; only the Awakened man is aware of such energy. It is an ichorous current.
Those who come to this Work complacent and satisfied with life cannot move within it. Nothing will take root; neither change of self nor metanoia can take place. If we are perfectly pleased with life, or more accurately, if we are thoroughly engaged in the dramatic ups and downs supplied by the all-consuming illusions of our world, then nothing should be expected of us. We are lost. The vibrant fabrications which appeal to our five senses have effectively mastered us. However, if we feel disquietude, the impression that who we are and what we experience may not be the ultimate reality, then there is hope for us, esoterically speaking.
From time immemorial, the Fourth Way Masters have spoken of Self-Remembering. But what is it they want students to remember? Nothing more than the self; the true self. This true self you’re trying to remember is the higher self, the self outside your machine, the self towering above your pathetic ephemera. Like a Cyclops, he towers – one eye, one will. One land, one king. The psychological realm can only be ruled by a singular entity (or something resembling a close-knit team of like minded entities). Our inner landscape must be willed by this Master ‘I’. No one else can give order, shape, and movement to the lower ‘I’s. Only those who have understanding can consciously rule. Democracy among savages is no government at all.

“We are sentient beings, evolved in an infinite universe. An infinite extrapolation of our evolution is to become Gods ourselves. You dig?“ ~ Big Bang
The Great Old Ones, desperate for release, waiting to rise again, to Awaken… They are interwoven into the fabric of a Cultist’s reality. The ordinary reality we are familiar with contains facets of an even stronger substance – chaos. This chaos is not random, nor is it constantly changing. It has a design. It is an alien order which mankind, as he is, can barely conceptualize. It is a gradual and seemingly paradoxical or juxtapositional assembly of fragments which appear distorted and altogether incongruent when viewed from the wrong angles. Unfortunately, most perspectives are wrong because they are too low, too base, too formatory and predictable. There is no imagination in the “yes” or “no” of everyday dichotomy. If a third side cannot be envisioned, then there is nothing substantial to be gained and nothing more of which to speak.
To the Cthulhu Cultist and those who struggle alongside us, the angles are all too consistent. An unwholesome correspondence exists, Universe A disturbed. We see the design, we see the pattern… the structure mirrors essence and vice versa! Everything becomes clear when we become as the void. Clear, clean, empty, unquiet, and pure. Our blood paves the way for a sacred destiny.
If behavior does not change, that means you have not changed. Look to your actions – what fruit do they bear? Word is not enough. Some people talk far too much so that all of the Work is merely talking. This kind of thing won’t get us very far. These ideas must travel deep and take root.
Have balance, keeping every aspect in proper alignment. When something must be done then do it wholeheartedly. Half-measures are not enough to secure one’s place in the Emerald Kingdom. There are many different realities available to us. How many of us have explored the psychological realities? And of those explorers who have… how many dared to go farther than what is possible? Did you, in fact, go all the way? To failure and beyond? Or did you stop short because of insurmountable obstacles? What if you had assistance? What if there was a network of dedicated esotericists out there – muttering a sinister, alien language, wearing black and green slime covered robes – just waiting for you to ask for their assistance?
What resides behind the last door… a burning three-lobed eye? If that final gateway is unlocked, then who exactly will greet us on the other side? Green doors shutting on the useless limb. It makes no difference to me. Cut it off!
Opposites, in and of themselves, are meaningless. Although, perhaps meaningless isn’t the right word. Looking at only black and white is not particularly helpful if one cannot see all the shades of grey in between. Even if one chooses white or black, the grey acts as a reference point. What about the origins from whence opposites, such as right and wrong, came? More Cultists should give thought to the primordial age where the spheres meet… or originally met.
Much has been discussed regarding third force or neutralizing / reconciling force. Yet another aspect of third force is the intermediary. The intermediary is the mediator or go-between. It is that which has knowledge of and can influence the opposites. The intermediary can negotiate a settlement or understanding between the lower and higher centers, life and the Work, material and spiritual, internal and external, belief and reality. This particular aspect of third force can meet us half way!
Those who have created Magnetic Center would do well to authorize an intermediary so that Work ‘I’s can get things done without too much interference from non-Work or life ‘I’s (the parts of our self which don’t care about Awakening). The intermediary is one’s essential guide, that inner voice who knows the difficulty because it can see both sides from its elevated position and realizes a third side is needed.
My vision of the Left Hand Path does take middle path and third side considerations into account. If the Cult of Cthulhu’s LHP understanding is taken as binary, then that’s one of the very few acceptable dichotomies. No matter how much white splashes into the black and vice versa, I still see it as a choice between slavery and Godhood. Allowing too much synthesis in that area could be detrimental to our struggle for Autonomy, Power, and Self-Deification.
In another LHP essay, I used the yin/yang to illustrate my point. The black has a bit of white and the white has a bit of black. I wonder how many went a bit further. Who noticed that the dominant yin/yang shapes were not divided in a straight line down the middle? Some white ventured into the black territory and vice versa. What we assume is LHP ground, inner-consideration or instant gratification for example, is actually right hand path area. Just as some believe the rhp has exclusive dominion over things like altruism or external-consideration – when that is not the case at all.
All darkness, all the time will eventually get you either killed or, if you’re incredibly lucky, you’ll have a lot of your own disciples’ blood on your hands. This is why I recommend the yin/yang or moderate or third side LHP which is essentially 3 parts black to 1 part white. All the while, a Left Hand Path practitioner should observe his footing. Just because an action seems like it’s mostly light or dark doesn’t make it so. Terrorism, racism, or causing innocents to suffer needlessly – these are not virtues of darkness but tools of light! How else could an impotent God force his subjects into submission? On the other hand, causing deserving recipients suffering for some kind of gain or profit is inherently dark.
Elsewhere, I have made a claim similar to that of Christ in the Gospels. No man may come unto the Father but by me. As egotistical as it sounds, I stand by that statement. After all, I am the self-proclaimed, surreptitious, starry savior of all mankind. Shouldn’t the chartreuse gateways open unto me? If you believe the Emerald Kingdom can be found without my help, by all means search for it. This Emerald Kingdom is like the Kingdom of Heaven. Very soon, the Cult of Cthulhu will stake its claim in Gnostic or Esoteric Christianity. Hail the tentacled cross!
If Cthulhu Cultists wish to begin as atheists, then that is perfectly fine. However, the deeper a Cultist goes… all bets are off. Implementation can be done a thousand different ways, but a central mythology should still be developed from which actionable strategies flow. The Cthulhu Mythos provides the mystical backdrop. It is that decadent, forbidden, and unspeakable stimulation which allows us to amplify our hidden divinity!
The more we understand ourselves, our universe, and everything in-between, the clearer Higher Forces become. The kind of devotion towards something intangible, such as an ideal, required by the Left Hand Path takes a discipline which unvarnished materialistic atheism usually cannot begin to supply. In extremely rare cases is it possible? Yes. But again, not very likely.
Where science fails, mysticism attempts to shoulder the burden. Religion, by its very nature, demands the recognition of extra (higher) dimensions. Otherwise, none of this crap would make any God damn sense! Deeper levels of truth cannot be gotten at by analyzing all the surface properties. What is inside a thing? What is its nature, its structure, its character, its being? You can’t go to the dictionary and look up my essence or put it under a microscope. That’s the sort of thing which can only be experienced. How can we measure raw potential or the power of belief? How can we approach the transcendental if there is no spiritual foundation?
The Work requires divinity. If we aren’t progressing towards Godhood, then what are we doing? Are we a place-holder for the next species? Are we an amusement? A mistake? A random cosmological occurrence? Since there’s absolutely no definitive proof of any theory, then it behooves one to reach for the highest possible answer. If not Godhood, then what are your goals? Television, junk food, and 9 to 5 menial labor or some form of data entry in an office? What the fuck is that about? Without inspiring goals, there is no inspiration! Dissatisfied with your lot in life? Why not just kill yourself and either end it once and for all or start over in a new machine (if you believe in some form of reincarnation)? It sure beats having to make the effort, right? Who needs progress? Who needs evolution?
We try to Awaken; that is our chief aim – the one which leads to Godhood. But it is not a matter of simply proclaiming that you are Awake. Any fool can regurgitate the secret wisdom of a starry Master (or the starry wisdom of a secret Master, if you prefer). Parroting one’s teacher is not learning. At least, not the kind of learning we are interested in. A diligent student can put those concepts into his own words. However, only a disciple of The Way can live this teaching… he and he alone has the understanding to unlock the infernal, boundless vistas of tenebrous divinity. A truly devoted follower can Will the Work!
The human being operates as a machine. Usually, those involved in the Work focus on the following three centers: physical, emotional, and intellectual. Within each center there are several levels. Ordinary man concerns himself with the weaker levels of his machine. He does just enough to get by. The impressions he takes in are of the lowest quality. But there are elevated, seldom used levels too. These can be activated by various 4th Way techniques such as Self-Remembering. From there, one can access Higher Centers – our physical, emotional, and intellectual modes which are connected to Objective Consciousness or the reality which exists behind illusions.
It is our Higher Centers which can receive vibrations from Higher Forces. Higher Forces do not exist in this dimension just as the Ancient Ones (A:O) do not exist in this dimension, and yet They can communicate to us during those moments we are more Awake than asleep. By now, I hope it’s apparent that rousing ourselves from sleep is a complicated process. It’s not a cake walk. Rousing ourselves from life’s imaginary construct can be like entering a carnival funhouse full of distorted mirrors. Everything looks warped; there is a sense of wrongness which most people find disturbing. This makes it even more difficult to leave the matrix. Do not despair. Seeing things from an Objective standpoint will become less and less uncomfortable the longer we struggle with it.
My advice? Read, study, think – test your theories and weave those results into a functioning paradigm designed by you. Hopefully, the Cult of Cthulhu’s meta-cosmic model will influence many individuals… many dark seekers for generations to come. After all, what’s a better infrastructure than the weird tales of H.P. Lovecraft?
The vibration of a particular angle drawn in a certain color creates doorways to other world. Within these dimensions are our missing fragments, seeds of the green stars. One may use the Angles of Uoon Kalool as springboard for one’s own ritual visualizations. To see it with the inner eye is to know the truth of it. The psychological realm is less obscured by life’s illusions. We are part of that illusion. Our false self helps create it. Keep taking off masks until there is nothing; only the void remains.
The ultimate sigil is that of Kort’thalis, as it represents the Cthulhu Cult. Kort’thalis manifests that which was and that which will be. It is a black monolith rising from the desert, crystallization of self, initiation into an alien order, a blood-dimmed tide flowing over the ignorant masses, eyes opening, tentacles writhing, chartreuse gateways, carnival funhouse mirrors shattering, consciousness Awakening, that which is outside space and time converging and collapsing into itself. From this moment forth, Kort’thalis symbolizes our quantum religion and emerald paradigm. It is the Cult of Cthulhu!
I teach you the Overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? … The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope. ~ Nietzsche
Observing our inner contradictions without the aid of buffers is a shock. Observing our frequent negative states is a shock. Glimpsing our true self buried beneath layer upon layer of false personality is a shock. We need these shocks to jolt us into higher states of Consciousness. Eventually, when we’re able to look down upon our machine and all its many imperfections we shall have obtained Objective Consciousness. Seeing things from multiple subjective perspectives all at once is the challenge. The mind doesn’t want to think one way about something while simultaneously entertaining a contrary thought. Intellectual center, like all centers, is inherently lazy. It wants to come up with an acceptable notion so it can coast along on autopilot. This Work is about engaging manual control. It requires concentration, discipline, and the desire to achieve something extraordinary.
Try to see a gemstone from every facet and really see each tiny side, all those subjective views. Being mindful of all facets at the same time is to understand Objective Reality. This is a fruitful exercise. Don’t just practice it on jewels but on situations.
Of course, we can’t have objectivism while perpetually mired in our limited subjectivity. This might be, at least from my perspective, the most difficult thing to do. Perhaps the last great feat a student needs to accomplish before he can call himself a Master of the Work: dissolving the old self so that a new self can be born. There’s nothing armchair about that!
If we cannot obliterate our identity in one fell swoop (which is dangerous), then a partial dissolve done multiple times is required. A disciple must go against the grain – his own! If we are serious, then we must become jovial. If we are critical, then we must become complimentary. If we are overly-analytical, then we must become intuitive. If we are aggressive, then we must become passive. How else can we create a change of mind? The alteration of ideas is not enough; the alteration of how we feel is not enough. Our entire way of seeing things must change – and not just a little. The greater our paradigm-shift, the closer we are to Awakening!
One’s Cult identity could be used to separate from one’s former self. Separation is necessary because we must watch ourselves. That means there has to be an observer and something to observe. How many of our background ‘I’s can watch the ‘I’ which is currently in charge? Not only must we see the forest and the trees… we must become them. We do that by overcoming ourselves.
As this piece comes to a close, I bet that some of you, perhaps a handful of your ‘I’s, are nodding in agreement while the rest scoff in derision. That’s fine. Be aware of that discrepancy. Revel in your contradiction. Go against the grain. But what happens when some ‘I’s want to go one way and some ‘I’s want to go a different way? Who wins? That depends on a lot of factors. But for the moment, observe your inner friction… the back and forth, to and fro. A piece of you says “yes”. A piece of you says “no”. And I’d also wager that a portion of you is more or less ambivalent about the whole thing. I’ll tell you right now, apathy in the face of Godhood sickens me. It should make you sick as well. Once an individual becomes a student of the Work, then his only excuse for not becoming a disciple is fear.
Thankfully, even fear can be used. Fear and friction, if used consciously, can create energy. This energy can be used to overcome that which must be overcome! A new reality, a new you – all things are possible with the right attitude. But what do you think is possible with the wrong attitude? How limiting would that be? Don’t be afraid to chafe at who you’re becoming. The old self doesn’t want to die. Unfortunately, the new self cannot be born until the old self is no more.
Those who would come to the teacher must first come to the school. Those who leave the school also leave the teaching. Unless, of course, they have learned enough to form their own devotional nexus. A student who wishes to Awaken by utilizing the Cult of Cthulhu shall bear glorious fruit; three fold in comparison to the lone practitioner. Those students who struggle to Awaken whilst in the physical presence of a Master shall bear fruit that yields seven fold the glory! Such was the nature of every traditional Fourth Way school.
Because this level of commitment is burdensome, I have neglected to make any such request… until now. It is the burden which makes new opportunities possible. A perfect example of intentional or conscious suffering. I urge Cultists to make their way to south central Wisconsin. Ipsissimus Satanis: magician, messiah, and madman… is ready to accept disciples in person for one-on-one training. If that is not possible, then long-distance interaction is the next best thing. Hopefully an official Cult of Cthulhu Grotto located in a more convenient city and led by a disciple of the Way could also be a worthwhile alternative. The important thing is that super-efforts are made under the supervision of a conscious teacher.
For those who make the journey, thy pilgrimage shall not be in vain. A temple devoted to Dread Cthulhu will be constructed. Indeed, it is already being built within you.
Just what exactly is demanded of a disciple? Only the disciple himself can answer such a question. I am willing to assist with Cultist relocations but only if the Cultist is willing to assist with the creation of a real world, off-line Fourth Way School. That is most important. I am not Gurdjieff nor am I Ouspensky. I will never be Nicoll, Haven, Orage, or dozens of other 4th Way Masters. You happen to be reading an essay by Satanis. I have my own essential understanding of how to Awaken humanity and why that is a necessary step in the Great Work. A community using 4th Way techniques, bound to the Left Hand Path tenets of Autonomy, Power, and Self-Deification by means of a Lovecraftian paradigm… what could be better?
Awake!

Absolutely brilliant!
Most do not understand what it means to become the forest. To be “in tune” with both greater and lesser “magic”. To walk that line between both and challenge the gates of the divine, merging one’s will with Godhood. I am not yet understanding your Cult completely but as I have told you, I know there are forces and energies that exist. I have seen them and have experienced their power.
Great work, my friend. I look forward to more!
God loves a workin’ man. Thats goes double for squid God aswell.
I sought out this site to satisfy a burst of curiosity, generated by the re-reading of The Outsider.
I regret it. The author of this site is a fool followed by fools. Enjoy your delusion. Your statement
“Belief is Reality” is no doubt how you stupidly justify the creation of a religion out of a work of fiction.
I suppose you also speak Klingon, and carry an X-Wing operators license. I have to point out that I
am not offended. You could no more offend me than a second grader, such is your level of understanding
of reality. I weep for my generation. We have among our ranks, a man of such inane mental pestilence that you
push this laughable humor upon webdom.
I would like to learn more of your teachings. From Christianity to Satanism to Wicca and Paganism, I have studied and the pieces are slowly coming together as far as understanding. Your words have intrigued me so please message me
I am striving for awakening too, and I know that you speak the truth, in some sense. I hope you achieve that which is your will: To have an Awakened Humanity.
To the people that read this: Read between the lines! Don’t be confused! Belief is a choice, and belief must be shifted. If you can’t reach objectivity by being whole, then break your mind in a thousand shards. Shift between them at will. Your ID in the Cult of Cthulhu must be a way for yourselves to look into your lives from an outer reference point.
It’s not about fear, its not about horror or slime, its about breaking paradigms; Inner Paradigms. Only hipocrites bash against outer paradigms instead of enforcing change on their own selves. Only by dissolving your own sense of selves will your real ‘I’ come out. Think about this question: How much can you change without losing your true Self?
The answer is All of It.
All your existence is contingent. Embrace the void, dissolve yourselves, be free.
I too strive for awakening. I have studied many different religions from christianity to wica only left hand path belife systems encorage the strengthening of your own divinity. Only through becoming your own god and knowing the name of that god can you begin to seperate the you from the all. In all sentient life is divinity just waiting to be free. do you also have an name for your inner god or dose the greater part of your self go unrecognized?
I just read this essay. Absolute masterpiece! The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.
integration of both the conscious and sub-conscious minds while strengthening of the ego rather then seeking to dissolve it into the all should have been the original intent of yoga i think, a kundalini yoga teacher constantly warned me of
ot striving to attain supernatural powers, saying they were simply a side effect of the enormous energies being awakened within my being. since the ultimate goal of this particular discipline (at least the way i was instructed) was transcendence by dissolution of the ego, it seems that having supernatural powers and using them would strengthen ones ego. everything is true everything is permitted. in the end whats so cool about all of this stuff about belief is we will all find out when we die what the end is like, right handed religions teach dissolution of the self, that all are equal under the one god most high, this is farce for equality is a lie, and if equality is a lie then how much of this is just made up in our heads? maybe i’m dreaming you dreaming me?
Beware the watchers, we choose no side, we fear no immortal, we are the guardian of the tao and of yog sothoth. there will be no victory, no champion, no end. the universe must remain intact, by starlight and the outer darkness we will kill everything if we must. shall we speak of such matters? or witness them unfold?
