Tá matáin Phríosúin páirteach backseat Tiomána tríd an Gheata Desert


"Ar a dtugtar an adoration an praiseach Is é an duine féin an reiligiún is coitianta agus is mó ceangailteach agus teoranta." ~ Maurice Nicoll

Tá an aiste tiomanta do chur chun cinn a chaill muid feadh na slí.

Gach ceann de na hailt déag san aiste Clúdaíonn pointe ar leith, níos minice ná a mhalairt, spreag trí cheisteanna Tá mé ag iarradh le déanaí. Tá cuid de na hailt a bhaineann le gach ceann eile. Siad déileáil go príomha le Conair Hand Chlé, HP Lovecraft, an Mythos Cthulhu, agus an Bealach Ceathrú mar a mhúintear trí Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Nicoll, agus daoine eile. Tá súil agam Cuidíonn seo fada, scaip-phointe aiste Cultists tuiscint níos fearr ar nádúr ár Oibre Breataine. Uaireanta, a chabhraíonn go bhfaca fadhb trí shúile nua dúinn foghlaim conas a conquer é. Dude Tyson fadradharcacha aka an Nigrescent Feasth Nakhometh hater Dlí-cúnamh dom i scríbhinn ar "matáin Príosún páirteach iad backseat Tiomána tríd an Gheata Desert", go háirithe alt III.

Ag an alt seo den chéad uair, go díreach thíos, ag leanúint as an scéal gearr thosaigh mé i mo slunce deiridh den aiste Cthulhu, "Ár Teagaisc Viridescent". Is é seo an píosa nua níos mó ag teacht leis an vibe Lovecraftian againn fuair ar siúl thar anseo ag an COC. Bain sult as!



I.

An fear críochnaithe a smoothie torthaí agus shiúil go dtí an doras na cistine a ba chúis leis an póirse ar ais. Theastaigh sé cuairt a thabhairt ar an áit sin sé an chuid is mó eagla. A chruthú chun gach duine go bhfuil Ní raibh sé Coward.

Bhí an chúlchlós lush agus glas, bheadh ​​overgrown roinnt rá, agus iniata le claí. D'fhéach sé cosúil le backyard cothrom tipiciúil fo-uirbeacha, ach amháin i gcás an poll mór laistigh de achar spitting an póirse. Bhuel, an fear dá dtagraítear dó mar poll. Daoine eile a dtugtar sé go maith, mar a bhí fáinne cloiche ar fud an oscailt chos seacht trastomhas.

An fear ceaptha go bhféadfadh daoine a ghlaoch air cad a thaitin leo. Just a dó féin, a chuid smaointe i príobháideacha féin, fancied sé uaireanta sé poll as síos go hIfreann féin. Chonaic sé go minic rudaí darkly ó shin i leith an tráma síceolaíoch a tharla ina óige. An Ifreann-Pit. Sin an rud ar a dtugtar an áit dorcha ina samhlaíocht sé. Tar éis an tsaoil, d'fhéach sé ominous agus bhí Utterly mistéireach sa nádúr. Ach nuair a labhairt di le daoine eile, d'iarr sé ach sé "an poll". Ba Jasper an eisceacht, ar ndóigh.

Cé a rinne an poll agus cén fáth? Riamh go raibh mhíniú go hiomlán ag an mhaoin ar úinéir roimhe sin, cé go ndearnadh roinnt fiosrúcháin. Bhí sé díreach ann i bruachbhailte, unblinking, ag stánadh air mar a bheadh ​​súil starless.

Bhí an ghrian ag tosú a chur ar bun.

An fear ar athraíodh a ionad níos gaire d'fhonn a fháil le cuma níos fearr ar sé, an blas na torthaí delicious fós leis. Arna n-iniúchadh níos dlúithe, thug sé faoi deara le substaint a leath-tréshoilseach glas thart ar imeall an Pit-ifreann. Go n-iarmhar, nó cibé a bhí sé, ní raibh an uair dheireanach a chuaigh sé as a póirse ar ais, ar ais b'fhéidir in aghaidh na seachtaine nó dhó.

Faoi láthair, tháinig an fear an cara is amach a bheith aige ar an chúlchlós. Chaith sé seaicéad duaithníocht a rinne breathnú air fiú níos mó ná mar a bheadh ​​gearrtha glan aige ar shlí eile.

"Conas a bhí an smoothie?"

"Bhí sé go maith. An-refreshing. "

"Tá gcás an chailín?"

"Tá sí ag obair oíche anois. Samantha fhág thart ar uair an chloig ó shin, ach sular tháinig tú. "A dúirt sé, ag féachaint ar Jasper a bhí ag lorg isteach an poll ar blackness yawning, ó achar sábháilte de thart ar deich cosa.

"Tá mé ionadh a fheiceann tú amach anseo."

"Yeah, tá a fhios agam. Buille faoi thuairim náiriú tú mé isteach é. "Dúirt an fear, wiping an deiridh dá banana, sútha talún, anann, agus deoch blas oráiste ar shiúl óna bhéal.

"Bhí Gach a dúirt mé, 'bhfuil tú scanraithe de do backyard féin.' Sin uile. "

"Níl mo chúlchlós scanradh orm. Scares gur thréig Dia poll orm. Mé a admháil go saor é. "

"Ar a laghad tá tú macánta, Collins. Is mian liom go raibh ceann ar mo mhaoin. Bastaird Lucky. "A dúirt Jasper, a aoibh gháire casadh beagnach i chuckle.

"Níl, ní dhéanann tú."

"Sea, is féidir liom. Is breá liom cac aisteach mar sin. Má bhí seo i mo chlós, ba mhaith liom a bheith amach anseo gach lá. "

"Ní bheadh ​​tú a rá go má Dúirt mé leat cad a chonaic mé aréir. Níl mé cinnte go fiú gur mhaith leat a chreideann sé. "

"D'fhéadfadh mé. Bain triail as dom. Cad a fheiceann tú? "

"Bhí sé i rith na stoirme. An ghaoth a bhí feadaíl, chroith toirneach ar an teach, flashes tréimhsiúil soilsiú ... tempting siad dom. Dia diabhal é, ní ba chóir dom a d'fhéach. An oíche ar fad, bhí mé ag mothú aisteach go mb'fhéidir go mbeadh rud éigin a bheith ag obair ar a bhealach suas go poll. "

"Ciallaíonn tú an geata, nach tú?"

"Glaoigh sé cad is mian leat, Jasper, ach nuair a d'fhéach mé amach as mo fhuinneog cistin, nuair a bhí an stoirm raging ag an chuid is airde ... raibh mé in ann a bheith faoi mhionn a chonaic mé ar tentacle chun cinn as a béal hellish. Ansin, nuair a cheadaítear ar bolt náireach lightning liom a fheiceáil ar an rud ar fad saor in aisce ... squirming Íosa Críost! Chaill mé beagnach sé. "

"Náireach, eh? Feicim nach bhfuil tú dearmad go hiomlán faoi na leabhair a tugadh ar iasacht agam go mbainfidh tú an bhliain seo caite. "A dúirt Jasper.

"Yeah, buille faoi thuairim mé cúpla rudaí bhfostú." A dúirt Collins. "Tá a fhios agat, ó shin i leith an eachtra mé ag intrigued ag an, mysteries anaithnid Cosmaí, gach stuif sin."

"Intrigued, ach ró-eaglach chun imscrúdú a dhéanamh ar aon cheann de na sé i ndáiríre." Dúirt Jasper amach.

"Ceart."

"An raibh tú ag caint faoi an rud killer sraitheach a tharla nuair a bhí tú óg?"

"Yeah."

"OK, mar sin rinne an stoirm paranoid tú. A fháil liom é. Chonaic tú de shaghas éigin Demon le tentacles cúpla agus míle súile. Tuigim do imní. Nó, ba chóir dom a rá, pants-shitting eagla. Ach cén fáth a bhfuil tú amach anseo anois, Dún Uí? Cén fáth nach fanacht díreach taobh istigh? Ifreann, cén fáth nach bhfuil tú ag dul? "

"Cén fáth nach bhfuil tú ag glaoch riamh dom mo chéad ainm?" D'iarr Kyle Collins.

"Tá sé ach cad is féidir liom." Aoibh Jasper. "Cad é ba mhaith liom a fháil amach conas teacht ar a bhfuil tú go tobann na liathróidí chun seasamh ach cúpla troigh ó gheata?" A dúirt sé, lámha ina pócaí, dírithe ar bróg ag an blackness. A blackness a chuma a bheith ag sileadh amach, darkening gach rud in aice láimhe.

Collins iompaigh sé aird ar an spéir, chonaic an ghrian imithe beagnach. "Buille faoi thuairim thuig mé nach raibh aon úsáid a bheith eaglach. Cibé rud atá sa mhéid is go bhfuil poll ann. Ní féidir an athrú rud ar bith ag á scanraithe. Cén fáth nach bhfuil glacadh é? "

"Cén fáth nach bhfuil glacadh leis é?!?" Yelled Jasper, ag breathnú isteach a chara a súile gorm. "Tá tú curtha cowering as an geata a slimy Y'lon'gheau i do backyard ar feadh thart ar thrí bliana. Agus anois a rá leat go bhfuil tú réidh go dtí díreach fucking glacadh é? "

"Geata a slimy Y'lon'gheau? Wow, tá go bhfuil tagairt esoteric. Léann tú an iomarca, Jasper. Geall liom tú curl suas ag an tine leis na leabhair d'aois de mise díreach faoi gach oíche. Is é sin, gach oíche nach bhfuil tú os cionn anseo ag féachaint ar mo poll sa talamh. "

"Sean?" A dúirt Jasper, ag gáire. "Má ach bhí a fhios agat conas ársa iad na leabhair! Lámhscríofa le fuil in ionad an dúch agus faoi cheangal i craiceann daonna, Collins. Yeah, I ath-cuairt a thabhairt ar an prós shuddersome na scoláirí, madmen, agus magicians dubh. Is maith a fháil ar ais go cad is tábhachtaí, ó am go ham. Is maith liom mo dhearcadh a leathnú. "

"Ciallóidh tú dul faoi uisce chun doimhneacht nua?"

Jasper aoibh. "Go deimhin."

"Anyways, yeah Tá mé réidh le glacadh é -. Cuma cad é" a dúirt Collins, airm fillte, ach ag stánadh ar shiúl isteach sa neamhní starless os a chomhair. "Croch ar sec, cén chaoi a raibh a fhios agat an rud crawling amach as an poll a bhí gach duine a súile?"

"Léigh mé an iomarca."

"Níl, ní dóigh liom é. Mé a léamh an leabhair chéanna a bhfuil tú. Mé go mbeadh cinnte sin meabhraithe, rud cosúil leis na rudaí a tháinig amach as an gheata slimy leis an áit ina gcríochnaíonn ár cruinne agus tosaíonn na Cruinne seo chugainn, mar a dtugtar tú é. Tá beagnach gach rud hideous cur síos orthu sna leabhair sin a tugadh dom nightmares ag pointe amháin nó eile. Go raibh maith agat as sin, dála an scéil. "

"Tá fáilte romhat." A dúirt Jasper, crouching síos chun scrúdú a dhéanamh ar an iarmhar greenish timpeall an imill cloiche. "One Toméagus go háirithe, a úsáidtear liom é a dhéanamh le astral beag ag taisteal. Ní fheicfidh tú buille faoi thuairim a chonaic mé - sights den sórt sin ... sights hideously ollmhór den sórt sin, Collins. Sin chuairt demoniacal dúradh liom go bhfuil do Ifreann-Pit bhfuil ann ar bhealach ceangailte leis. "

"Cad é! An bhfuil tú dáiríre? "

"Ní raibh mé níos tromchúisí."

"Níl tú ag fucking liom?"

"Uimh Níl mé ag fucking leat. Níl an am seo. "

"Ó, fear. Tá sé seo i bhfad ró. B'fhéidir gur chóir dom a ghlacadh Samantha agus díreach an Ifreann a fháil amach anseo nuair a fhaigheann sí ar ais ón obair? "

"Féach, tá tú tuirseach. Is dócha ar iomarca céadfach ón ól go smoothie torthaí chomh maith le bheith chomh gar do na poll. Cén fáth nach bhfuil muid ag dul taobh istigh sula bhfaigheann sé amach ró-dorcha. "

"Ar ndóigh, tá a fhios agat níos mó ná tá tú ag rá. Inis dom go díreach cad atá ar siúl. A chruthaigh an poll, geata, nó is cuma cad é agus cén fáth? "

"Beidh mé a dhéanann tú amháin níos fearr, Collins. Feicfidh mé tú síos ansin, beidh muid iniúchadh a dhéanamh le chéile. Cad a dhéanann tú a rá? "

Collins faire ar an poll ar feadh nóiméad, leath-ag súil le rud éigin a loathsome ooze as a béal dubh thoirmeasc. "Ní dóigh liom é."

"Ní fheicfidh tú a bheith saor sé leis an dearcadh." Jasper fhéach díomá. "Téigh ansin. Just a siúl amach as do theach. Cheapann tú go mbeidh Samantha dul chomh maith le do delusions paranoid? "

"Bhuel ..."

"Cad faoi do preoccupation le rudaí dorcha. Nár leat a insint dom bhris sí beagnach suas le leat awhile ar ais as rud éigin den chineál céanna? "

"Tá, fuair sí leabhar ar lá nua-aimseartha cleachtais satanic. Agus chuaigh Samantha mire. "

"B'fhéidir go bhfuil sé seo éagsúil. Just a insint di cad a chonaic thagann tú amach as an geata, agus anois agat dá mbeadh an teach a fhágáil le haghaidh maith. D'fhéadfadh sí a thuiscint. "

Collins shíl faoi, realized Jasper rinneadh cás maith. "OK, tá mé isteach"

"Excellent. Tá tú ag a rinneadh an cinneadh ceart. Ach ba chóir dom a rabhadh duit ... na rudaí a fheicfidh tú - unspeakable. Tá do pit iarbhír geata le roinnt réigiún de ifreann ach hinted ag sna leabhair sin. Ní féidir liom cur síos go cruinn na ndaoine ón domhan eile. Mar sin féin, ba chóir a fhios agat go bhfuil siad amach i bhfad ó aon rud cosúil ár speicis féin, ní hamháin go fisiciúil ... Tá mé ag caint faoi a dtuiscint ar na cruinne, freisin. "

Thosaigh sé a chailleadh a nerve; machnaimh faoi na daoine go léir a dúirt go raibh sé ró-íogair agus lag. Collins bhí a fhios aige é seo a dhéanamh. Thóg sé air ach cúpla soicind níos mó a mheabhrú dó féin. "Nuair a bhíonn muid ag dul?"

"Oíche will." A dúirt Jasper. A ghuth a bhí díreach os cionn cogar. "Tá mé ag dul ocras. A ligean ar dul taobh istigh. "Chas sé i dtreo an teach. "Is féidir leat a dhéanamh dom amháin iad siúd caoineoga torthaí."



II.

Le déanaí, d'iarr mé ar Cultist má bhí Awakening iomarcach. Theastaigh uaidh go mbeadh a fhios nuair a bheadh ​​an fócas aistriú ó doláimhsithe féin-feasacht a fháil a lámha salach. I bhfocail eile, ní nuair deireadh fealsúnacht agus gníomh tosú? Seo a leanas an méid a dúirt mé leis, áfach, tá mé ag dul a leathnú ar sin toisc go raibh a ceist thábhachtach.

Nuair a dhéanann Awakening bheith léiriú? Sin mar a iarraidh, "Cén pointe bhfuil bheith ar ár cosa worthless le linn ár trek tríd an bhfásach?" Awakening ligeann dúinn chun ár gceann scríbe sa chéad áit agus dul ar thuras den sórt sin. Ní cúis í in Awakening iomarcach. Éiríonn sé riamh useless nó unneeded. Is é an streachailt chun dúisigh an creatlach ar a bhfuil ár n-hangs throbs feola agus flesh. Gníomh Éilíonn fhealsúnacht nó eile tá muid ag caint díreach faoi imoibriú simplí ... ina gcónaí éighníomhach, atá á dhéanamh ar feadh an sruth nádúrtha agus as a dtagann sé dosheachanta thar binne. Tá cónaí éighníomhach cad a dhéanann gnáth daoine. Cultists a dhéanamh ar an turas mar go roghnaíonn siad - linn a chruthú ár reatha féin. Ann luíonn an difríocht.

Lig dom a insint duit rud éigin faoi nádúr. Ní ghlacann linn. Daoine atá mínádúrtha mar gheall ar ár faisnéis níos fearr - a thugann dúinn an cumas, de réir mar féin-forbairt go dhaoine, a bhaint amach leibhéil níos airde de Chonaic. Ceadaíonn Chonaic níos airde do Will Fíor. Toisc gur féidir linn smaoineamh agus mothú i toisí il ag an am céanna, tá fear ar abomination i súile an nádúr mháthair. Chun a fháil fiú, déanann sí i gcónaí a thabhairt dúinn síos go dtí a leibhéal. Cineál é seo trí chláir ar lust insatiable do aineolas, leisce, agus negativity. Uaireanta, ní féidir linn cabhrú le bheith málaí douche. Sin rud brónach den saol, ach cheer suas. Is féidir linn cinneadh a dhéanamh i gcónaí a bhriseadh ar ár gcláir uair amháin tuigimid go bhfuil gach rud manipulated go ciúin ag nádúr.

Cad is féidir linn a dhéanamh faoi? Bhuel, ar dtús, is féidir linn a dhéanamh beagnach rud ar bith. Noobs Tá an-beag a bheith ag obair le - gan aon féinfheasacht, aon eolas, agus ní dámha féidir a phróiseáil ar ár gnéithe meicniúil i rud éigin de chaighdeán míne. Fear a thosaíonn amach le rud ar bith ach ar a shaol meaisín, ag feidhmiú ag éifeachtacht a laghad. Tá sé rud ar bith agus is féidir aon rud a dhéanamh. Awake, is féidir le fear a dhéanamh. Chodladh, níl aon seans a stiúradh a Will Fíor. Ní Will Fíor bhaineann le meaisíní, ach saol orgánach. Ní féidir é a fuair sé amach de thimpiste, agus ní féidir é a úsáid gan fulaingt aon ghnó. Ní féidir le duine a ghlacadh ach an cosán ar fhriotaíocht a laghad a doras. Más mian leat go mbeadh aon dóchas a bhaint amach do cheann scríbe atá beartaithe, ansin beidh ort an dá chosa do - beidh ort dúisigh. Streachailt a choinneáil ar an stát aireach beo laistigh duit féin.



III.

Seo ceist. Conas a popularize ar an mbealach 4 i measc na COC? Daoine lorg conas is ábhar a bhaineann leo. Is féidir leat, agus mé luach selfhood ar a shon féin ach daoine eile a cheapann go minic, "conas a chuireann sé seo cabhrú liom leis an méid a bhfuil mé ag iarraidh a dhéanamh ar fud an domhain?" N-oireann sé seo freisin an téama aistí Cthulhuist éagsúla ar an Conair Láimh Chlé, a Déanann bhaineann sé leis an cúlra Satanic de go leor Cultists.

Ní féidir le fear a dhéanamh toisc go bhfuil sé ina meicniúil. Rudaí a tharlaíonn gan uacht a bheith i gceist ó tá meaisín aon Uacht Fíor. Conas a chruthú féin nua, le féin fíor, cabhrú le fear? Is féidir aon rud a chur i gcrích agus beidh ár dribbles féin bréagach a chuid samhailfhadú. Tosaíonn an Bealach Ceathrú ag an tús. Tá sé an teanga ar dhul chun cinn, an cuardach le haghaidh Féinrialach, Power, agus Féin-Deification.

"Níl sé an neart, ach an ré, de sentiments mór a dhéanann fir mór." ~ Nietzsche

Is féidir leat Wonder chaoi a bhfuil an Bealach Ceathrú iarbhír a bhaineann le do shaol. Is féidir leat a rá, "Ceart go leor, tá mé mo shuí. Anois, cad é? "Tá sé níos deacra ná sin, ar ndóigh, ach nach bhfuil sé seo aiste teagaisc do noobs. Glacadh mé an chuid is mó léitheoirí tugtha isteach cheana féin chun an Bealach 4 agus / nó an COC. Má tá tú go hiomlán uninitiated, ríomhphost chugam ansin ar feadh PDF saor slunce Cthulhu.

Mar sin, tá tú awakened ... ar a laghad ar feadh tamaill. Tuairimí speisialta fós? Tar éis an tsaoil, tá cleachtóirí is mó de na Conair Hand Chlé ar Fantasy ubermensch tucked away áit éigin laistigh féin. Ach, ní féidir linn ach ag iarraidh a bheith awake. Ní Sin go leor, ní leor beagnach! Ba mhaith linn go feiniméan an chuid is mó demonized: cumhachta. Agus ní ar an chineál na cumhachta doláimhsithe de mystics Gúrú a bhfuil tuiscint iomlán agus rialú féin. No, ba mhaith cleachtóirí LHP a dhéanamh ar dhaoine cinnirí pléascadh. Agus ina éagmais sin, fháil atá leagtha agus seiceálacha airgead tirim!

Gach a thagann ina dhiaidh sin - i ndiaidh Awakening, más mian leat go fóill é. Is é seo a rá go bhfuil athrú a bheith éadrom awake isn'ta muid ag dul ar rud éigin nuair is mian linn agus a mhúchadh nuair nach bhfuil muid. Ní cúis í in airde féin-feasachta iomarcach. Cabhraíonn sé i gcónaí dúinn i gcinn pléascadh, ag dul a leagtar, agus cashing seiceálacha (léiriú ar an scrios, lust, agus deasghnátha sentiment phlé i Satanic Anton Szandor Leamhaigh an Bíobla, a liom a mholadh freisin).

Déanann leibhéal níos airde de Chonaic sé níos éasca a bhaint amach ár spriocanna. Samhlaigh ar ríomhaire distracted ag an nonsense den saol laethúil. In ionad á fháil agat ar an suíomh gréasáin mian leat coimeádann, ar an ríomhaire ag fáil ag sidetracked cacamas randamach a bhfuil aon rud a dhéanamh leis an tasc ar láimh. Tá muid ach mí-éifeachtach mar ríomhairí distracted - mura dúisigh againn as an codladh na beatha. Mar a casadh sé amach, is féidir modhanna Bealach Ceathrú a úsáid saol chun cónaí lasmuigh de na ceithre ballaí psyche do féin-i gceist.

Cá mhéad is féidir le duine "a ghabháil ar láimh a saol" sa réaltacht incarceral an gceist ar láimh ... nó tentacle. Tá compordach, téarma príosúin a chomhlíonadh fós ar an saol i bpríosún. Fiú nuair a tá sé go hiontach, ar nós mar áis slándála a laghad, d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith níos fearr i gcónaí. Thankfully, is féidir céimeanna a ghlacadh. Fiú má thagann chun ár n-iarrachtaí cosúil gcruthaíonn sé aon ní san vortex de futility, siad ar a laghad a úsáid mar phointe tosaigh. Tá muid ag glacadh céimeanna i gcónaí dofheicthe suas an dréimire. Dealraíonn sé mar cé nach bhfuil muid ag déanamh dul chun cinn, ach sin mar a tharlaíonn sé sin Dia diabhal go mall. Táimid ag foghlaim conas a chur ar an eolas ar ár mian leis, a aistriú iad a sprioc, tús a chur ag baint úsáide as an t-ábhar timpeall orainn chun é a iompar amach, agus a choigeartú chun na cúinsí gan choinne a beagnach i gcónaí ag gabháil leis an ábhar sin.

Tá rud amháin cinnte: má tá tú ag dul a ghabháil ar láimh do shaol, ar an gcéad tá tú a ghabháil ar láimh duit féin. Tá muid ar an bunús le haghaidh gach athrú seachtrach. Ní mór dúinn freisin é a choimeád ar bun le himeacht ama. Is é Saol sraith de ciorcail. A tharraingt fórsaí eile laistigh dár bhfithis imtharraingteach, ní mór dúinn a bheith mar criostail, réalta, nó comhlacht neamhaí. Ní mór dúinn cur lenár dhomhantarraingt. Chun a eascróidh aura de rialú cúiseach a lua - mundanely, gan trácht ar magically - ní mór dúinn máistir na ciorcail taobh istigh de féin, ag tosú leis an ciorcal innermost: an fonn a athrú.

It's not all internal, though. The Fourth Way process of identifying helpers and inhibitors within oneself can easily be translated to an external exercise – what influences in our life are helpful or harmful to what we are trying to be? Look on the world with a set of newly selfish, ambitious eyes. Like an inter-dimensional spirit monad plummeting downward into material realms, begin with your vision, and work backwards down the chain to immediately practical details. Watch yourself as you brush your teeth, eat lunch, and talk to your friends. Just as you observe yourself, also mentally dissect your life. Learn the patterns, power structures, and mechanics of your residence, your workplace, your society, and of course the voidal laws from outside.

Tosaigh beag. You don't have to jump right into becoming dictator of the planet (though your calling could certainly end there). That first moment of personal situational awareness often feels like opening a messy closet: you realize how chaotic, counter-productive, disorganized, and neglected the whole thing has been for years of your life. Your first steps may seem obvious – “why didn't I think of that before?” That's the point. You weren't thinking before. You weren't living consciously or willfully.

Anois go bhfuil muid thar an chéad chéim, ní mór dúinn a choinneáil ar sé. Tá sé ráite go mbeidh duine a chaitheann uair an chloig in aghaidh an lae ar rud éigin a bheith i do údarás ar sé roimh i bhfad. An chomhairle is fearr ... nó an ceann is measa!?! Fuaimeanna seo beagnach níos mó cosúil le sprioc teoiriciúil ná moladh praiticiúil. Cé tá uair an chloig in aghaidh an lae a thiomnú do rud éigin? Cén fáth ach uair an chloig? Is é an pointe go íobairtí leanúnach (fulaingt aon ghnó) is gá d'fhonn a chruthú athruithe iontach.

Fir awakened a scorched an íobairt uaisle i n-intinn: iarracht leanúnach. Cuimhin leo a Féin-Cuimhnigh! Is é seo an Alpha Omega agus an Obair. Laochra a ghlacadh go comhleanúnach an highroad arduous toisc nach féidir leo a thoghairm suas an fuinneamh mhothúchánach a breoslaí a réiteach. Páise Cruthaíonn heroism. Gan gné mhothúchánach, tá an obair ró-lag taobh istigh de dúinn chun difríocht a dhéanamh. Déan mhothúchánach é, shamhlú cad tá tú ag iarraidh a bhaint amach go sonrach, a fháil amach cén fáth, dar leat an mbealach sin, beidh sé, é a phlé, a cheadú an Obair isteach i do shaol ar fad ... ár saol. Má dearmad orainn muid cén fáth streachailt chun dúisigh, ansin ní féidir leis an cumhacht ag an Obair bloc amach na tionchair distracting ón saol a fháil ar an mbealach, blocála an dearcadh ár féin níos doimhne.

Go deimhin, tá sé go hiomlán agus is féidir a bheith aireach ar na cúiseanna loighciúil cén fáth a dhéanann muid rud éigin in éineacht leis, mothúcháin láidre ag tiomáint. Ár n-intinn réasúnach is gá a chur i gcuimhne dúinn go relive an taithí, mhothúchánach, bhraitheann an paisean as an nua. Mothúcháin gá treo. Gan ordachán nó intinne, a leanúint mothúcháin atá ann faoi láthair an nádúir. Ní dhéanfaidh aon ní fhéadfaí a bheith níos nádúrtha nó gan aithne ná ár mothúcháin drifting i n-ebb ócáideach agus ar a shreabhadh, mar an mian cruinne. Iarracht na codanna loighciúil ar ár brains a leagan amach ár mothúcháin ar an mbóthar ceart má tá Uacht True go leor déanta bhaint as ár n-lárnach. Ní mór do na hionaid intleachtúil agus mothúchánach ag obair le chéile chun ár leasa a chéile.

Éilíonn an cineál ndíograis ar féin istigh ar féidir ach ní bhíonn ach aon smaoineamh nó córas de smaointe a thairiscint. Ní Cartagrafaíochta mar an gcéanna le iarbhír ag dul áit éigin; nach bhfuil an léarscáil i gcríoch. Instills an slunce de Cthulhu an tábhacht a chruthú seo lárnach pearsanta, ach ní féidir ár n-reiligiún chandamach ionad an iarracht. Is é an duine aonair ar a chuid féin nuair a thagann sé le bheith ag obair leis na matáin esoteric, na matáin an phríosúin. Riachtanais Cultist a fháil ar bhealach do na hionaid intleachtúil agus mothúchánach a unify le cuspóir coiteann. Mhúineadh do scoileanna Bealach Ceathrú; mic léinn a fhoghlaim agus a gcuid foghlama a chur i bhfeidhm. An slunce ar iarrachtaí Cthulhu chun teacht ar mhic léinn in ann.

Tá sé éasca do dhaoine aisteach ag titim isteach ar an botún a smaointe a fhoghlaim agus ag glacadh leis go bhfuil go léir ann dó, ansin ag bogadh ar aghaidh agus ar fhoghlaim roinnt smaointe nua. Is iad na naisc agus na saintréithe atá suimiúil, ach is minic a chailleadh againn smaointeoireacht chriticiúil in ionad an smaointeoireacht comhthiomsaitheach - úlla i gcomparáid le oráistí nó líomaí a liomóidí gan smaoineamh ar gach torthaí ina n-aonar. D'fhéadfadh muid a bheith tempted a carn iad isteach inár noggins cosúil le chiclipéid mór gan infheistiú i bhfad an iomarca de féin. Ní Sin an pointe de na Slí Ceathrú. Níl sé go leor i gcás linn a fhoghlaim ach uair amháin agus go bhfuil sé. Níl, is féidir aon uair amháin ró-éasca dearmad a dhéanamh - ní is céad uaire go leor! Bíonn sé míle chuimhneacháin de Féin-Cuimhne sular féidir Ionad mhaighnéadacha a shuiteáil go rathúil i ár n-inneall. Níl sé faoi dúiseacht gach minic sin nuair a áisiúil. Tá sé ag fanacht faoi awake oiread agus is féidir. Fad Tógann móiminteam, agus an níos faide fanacht againn awake gan bhriseadh, is mó an déine ar ár Chonaic. Is féidir Déine gníomhú mar a léasair, an fócas uatha in ann a sruthán poll trí rud ar bith - go fiú ár sanity; go léir faoi réir constaicí ar ár léasair.

Rabhadh a thabhairt do thosaitheoirí treoracha i meditation go minic ar an gcleachtóir faoi conas a haon ionadh go bhfuil sé deacair a choimeád ar bun aird seasta le haghaidh nóiméad ag an am. A lua Demian, tá an láithreacht leanúnach de féin "an rud amháin deacair go fírinneach go bhfuil." Anois, a shamhlú a choinneáil ar ár n-aird socraithe meditatively ar rud, nó a chothabháil íomhá visualized in ár gcuimhne - do uair an chloig nó fiú lá gan ár n-aird blinking! Fuaimeanna deacair, nach é? Ba chóir go mbeadh sé. Tá a leithéid de fear dlí unto féin; tá sé rud éigin ach d'fhéadfadh Fear # 7 a dhéanamh. Anois, ag tosú leat tuiscint a fháil ar na rioscaí agus luachanna saothair de Deification Féin-?

D'fhéadfadh Dude Tyson a fheiceáil go amharc mé Awakening mar níos mó ná feasacht staide. Tá sé ceart. Ag díriú aird ar cad a dhéanann cleachtóirí Bealach 4, ach go bhfuil an cleachtadh intleachtúil fréamhaithe i rud nach féidir a loighic féin a mhíniú. Bainimid úsáid as Mindfulness fhonn Chonaic a bhaint amach - os cionn an stát ainmhithe, thuas nádúr. Tá Chonaic Daonna rochtain stáit na réaltachta meta-atá níos cóngaraí do Dhia ná aon rud eile ar domhan.

Is féidir Iad siúd a oscailt féin suas go dtí gnosis taithí a fháil ar an chineál airde agus doimhneacht mé ag caint faoi. Beidh riamh dóibh siúd atá dúnta ó fheiniméin sin is dócha a thuiscint. An bhfuil a cheangal ar rudaí ar nós an Bealach Ceathrú, an Conair Hand Chlé, agus ár slunce ar paradigm de léim an chreidimh? Pearsanta, ní dóigh liom é. Aesthetically taitneamhach nó córais creideamh ad'fhéadfadh a bheith úsáideach (yes, fiú na cinn spioradálta nach féidir a bheith "cruthaithe") ag dul ar feadh tréimhse trialach. Má tá tú a chaitheamh amach dúinn gan an dara machnaimh, ansin tá tú dócha sásta leis an meon atá agat faoi láthair. Tá tú docht agus gar minded. Sin bás i esotericism.

Fiú Cultists Cthulhu atá tiomanta go daingean go dtí ár teagaisc viridescent mbeadh an deis ag athrú. Cén uair a thosaíonn subtext ag éirí leis an téacs iarbhír? Féach leat, is féidir linn dul níos doimhne. Tá sraitheanna de mionsonraí faoi dhromchla. Scratch ciseal eile ar shiúl agus níl fós níos mó! Is féidir le Cultist dul i gcónaí níos doimhne, díreach mar is féidir leis dul i gcónaí níos airde. Tá ceisteanna ag fanacht le go n-iarrfaí, freagraí ag fanacht le bheith tugtha, agus línte domhanleithid ag fanacht le bheith aitheanta in ár saol laethúil. Beidh duine amháin le léiriú a dhéanamh do lá atá inniu ann, ach ba chóir an tuiscint atá againn fás tríd na blianta. Tá sé seo ró-próiseas.

Backseat tiomána is obnoxious. Cad tiománaí taitneamh as roinnt jerk suí taobh thiar de nó in aice leis, ag insint dó cad atá le déanamh? Is fuath linn go léir go. Tá sé ach nádúrtha. Ar ndóigh, ba chóir an fuath atá leagtha amach de shaghas éigin aláraim inár ceann. Is é a thiomáint le mothú nó stáit, go háirithe ceann diúltach, a mhalairt ar aon ghnó ag iarraidh taithí a fháil ar staid faoi leith ... tá súil againn go ceann dearfach. Is é a chailliúint rialú laige. Tá sé an teip, codlata. Nuair a thabhairt dúinn i do na randamach 'Tá mé a chreideann siad a labhairt i gcónaí le haghaidh dúinn, táimid caillte.

Is backseat tiomána cuid de dom, mar chuid Déanaim iarracht a bhaint de. Dhíchur. Sin é an chaoi a thosaíonn sé. Feicimid emotion diúltach le rá linn cibé áit uachtanna sé ar ár gcumas a bheith. Peirspictíochtaí léim ar feadh nóiméad ... A bunleibhéal, má tá sé ádh chinneann, go stoptar sé síos díreach mar a thosaíonn sé bubbling suas go dtí an dromchla. Bites sé a liopaí, tá a theanga, nó má dhéanann sé de chineál éigin gesture - rud éigin in iúl dó féin go bhfuil níos lú bréagach 'I' curtha unmasked. Níl sé sin 'agam' dúinn; téinn i ríocht mar linn.

Tar éis againn a bheith bunaithe laistigh den Obair, is féidir linn a dhéanamh níos mó ná ceil ach ár mothúcháin diúltacha. Faoi dheireadh, ní mór dúinn an cumas chun rudaí a stopadh sula dtosaíonn siad. Tá muid níos mó ar an eolas faoi ár n-ionad mhothúchánach agus ár triggers - na rudaí atá leagtha amach dúinn. Is féidir le Fear # 4 sheachaint an abairt de mothúcháin diúltacha roimh tá sé an deis chun labhairt lenár béal, sula dtiocfaidh sé fiú 'agam'. Tá fear # 5 aon rogha ach chun rialú a dhéanamh ar a circuitry mhothúchánach, atreorú fuinnimh nimhiúil.

Na laethanta seo, nuair is mian amháin nó níos mó de mo 'Tá mé chun orduithe coirt ag an tiománaí, mé ag streachailt go n-ardóidh thuas. Ardú os cionn an scéal, agus ardú os cionn an 'agam'. Uaireanta, I mo thuairimse, beidh mé i gcónaí meaisín chuid ... cuid de dom, ag aon ráta. Beidh píosa liom féin a bheith go deo meicniúil agus useless. Ach na codanna mé ag obair go leanúnach ar, mo bunúsach - a bheith i gcónaí orgánach, meabhrach, agus awake. Chomh fada agus a n-iarrachtaí atá déanta.

Uaireanta, duillín mé suas. Ní féidir liom cuimhneamh i gcónaí féin nó a oibriú ar éifeachtúlacht bhuaic. Mar sin féin, tá na laethanta seo a fhios agam go bhfuil mé botúin a dhéanamh i gcónaí, go bhfuil mo chur chuige imperfections. Tá mé chomh maith, buíochas le Dia, ar an eolas nach bhfuil foirfeachta mo sprioc. Evolution é. Bogadh buandlúite chun foirfeachta, is cuma cé go mall é, níos mó ná go leor dom. Dul chun cinn beag ag gach cas - sin é mo sprioc. Sin an méid is féidir liom a dhéanamh cad is féidir liom a bheith agus cé mé: Ipsissimus an slunce Cthulhu.

One 'agam' mothaíonn ní mór é a rá leis an tiománaí ba chóir dó dul níos tapúla nó níos moille nó dul isteach ar an lána lár. Eile 'agam', níos mó taithí agus attuned chuig an Obair realizes, ba cheart é a choinneáil adh. Tá eile 'atá ag rith liom sa chúlra mhaith de shaghas éigin algartam an-fhorbartha ar an mór lasmuigh a insíonn iasc áit a bheith ag snámh, éin conas a eitilt, agus creachadóirí áit a fháil ar a gcuid chreiche. Patrúin i nádúr! Ach sin 'Tá mé nach bhfuil fachtóir isteach sa choimhlint lár an aonaigh. Nach bhfuil againn de ghnáth comhfhiosach acu. Mar sin, deirimid an rud éigin a Guy taobh thiar den roth nó nach bhfuil? An bhfuil ár bua tiománaí backseat nó an cleachtóir Bealach 4? Cruthaíonn an frithchuimilte idir uachtanna aghaidh (ceann amháin bréagach, ceann amháin fíor) fuinnimh - fuinneamh is féidir a úsáid chun dúisigh.

Dóibh siúd atá ag iarraidh dul níos doimhne, d'fhéadfadh muid ag féachaint ar seo nuair a thagann áiteamh tiomána backseat ó? Saincheisteanna a rialú? Imní? Leochaileacht? Tá gá chun a ordú? Gach duine againn go mbeadh aon ghnéithe atá maith, olc, agus indifferent. Téann Eolas ar na gnéithe seo ar bhealach fada i dtreo tuiscint a fháil ar an féin. Shine an páirteach i do mheaisín a fheiceáil i gcás ina bhfuil an bugs ... meirge, scriúnna scaoilte, wiring lochtach - na gnéithe seo a choinneáil ar an duine a dhéanamh linn agus go léir meicniúil freisin.

Hoidhreacht a lán de na páirteanna innill ó na timpeall orainn. Tá an chuid eile bunaithe ar thionchair an saol, an méid atá feicthe againn ar fud an domhain. Assholes abound. Táimid leideanna a thógáil astu mar tá go conas foghlaim againn - mimicry. Cá bhfuil na samhlacha ról atá tar éis a n-inneall transcended? Tá siad an chuid is mó go deimhin cúpla agus i bhfad idir.

Úsáid mé an abairt Conair Hand chlé toisc go n-oibríonn sé dom. Tá sé ina dichotomy simplí agus dea-bhunaithe de maith i gcoinne olc. Sa chás seo, "mhaith" a bheith olc agus "olc" a bheith go maith. Ar ndóigh is féidir, mo tuiscint sé le cur chuige cothrom ábhairín ... réiteach inoibrithe. Níl an samhailfhadú "cosán lár", ach le taobh an tríú brionnaithe as na gnéithe is éifeachtaí an dorchadais agus tempered le blúirí an tsolais. Bhí Cad a rinne mé seo: bheir mé ar an Conair Hand Chlé ar tenets bunúsacha, a dheilbhiú iad le mo sonraíochtaí, rud a thugann an t-ordachán LHP, a thabhairt chun críche cleachtóirí uafásach. Tharraing mé trapezoid dubh timpeall air ... a dubh trapezoid aon amhras oozing rivulets glas bilious de pulsating, slush, lonrúil drochaigeanta.

Is féidir liom a thuiscint le cur chuige iomlánaíoch. Is féidir liom a fheiceáil ar an sintéis galánta fórsaí ní seachas ach aontú ó uillinneacha éagsúla. Gach go Tuigtear agus san áireamh ag an slunce de Cthulhu Sagartachta. Mar sin féin, a ligean ar a bheith réalaíoch. Ann dhaoine i ndomhan atá naimhdeach, ceann a gcoinne go gníomhach linn. In ionad an iarraidh a ionbhá le máistrí daor, Tá mé ag claonadh chun troid ar ais, a bheith sáraíochta. Na déithe is lú an domhain a stymie d'aon ghnó fear ar éabhlóid ... go bhfuil siad mo namhaid mortal.

Mar sin, ní féidir mo Conair Hand Clé go mbeadh an méid atá tú ag léamh faoi aon áit eile. D'fhéadfadh sé le feiceáil freisin outrageous nó dualistic do roinnt. Beidh cúpla a uafás ach toisc go bhfeiceann siad Satanis an Venger ainm atá ceangailte. Mar sin, go mbeadh sé. Tá mé ag múineadh i scoil, oiliúint saighdiúirí sa todhchaí an dorchadais. Feicfidh mé an nuance Eabhair towered de LHPism 20ú haois a fhágáil faoi na fealsúna YouTube. Tá an slunce de Cthulhu chinneadh divinity a chur i fear, a dhéanamh air Dhia. Ní chuirfidh an fear isteach divinity, go héifeachtach annihilating a bunúsach.

Ceist a bhaineann le d'iarr orm go raibh seo: "Cén fáth Féin-Deification? Cén fáth díriú ar Dia agus ní deamhain? "Bhuel, is é an rud ar fad faoi dhul chun cinn. Ní mór go mbeadh an críochphointe a éabhlóid fear, an comhlíonadh a streachailt ar son stáit riamh níos airde de Chonaic. Suas, suas, suas an ziggurat lickety-scoilt! (Buíochas a ghabháil leat, Arnold Judas Rimmer) Is é Dia mo cheann scríbe. Níl an Dia Críostaí nó deity d'aon aicme ar leith. Tá mé ag baint úsáide as Dia sa chiall chineálach. Más rud é go begs an cheist unanswerable, "Cad é Dia?", Ansin a bheith amhlaidh é. Cé a fhios na fuck?!? Dia ineffable (nó an bhfuil sé?). I mo thuairimse, de réir mar a Devils áirse-Demon Ard ceannais saighdiúirí cloven hoofed. Agus Smaointe, ar an Sean Mór na cinn mar Devil-Gods ... an antithesis de na fórsaí demiurgic a choinneáil fear illumination submerged.

Ok, why not strive to become a demon? Sure, go ahead. But make it a demon that is as powerful as it is unknowable. A demon or Devil who can see all sides at once, utilizing objective consciousness and able to understand that which is beyond him – to me, that is a God. It's what I'm working towards. Others should feel free to envision something completely different… such as a reality programmer who exists outside space and time. Is that God? It could be. For me, it doesn't matter. Whatever you want to call your highest potential, that's what I'm talking about. I think that's a worthy goal. Don't let linguistic semantics confuse the issue. God, demon, Devil, programmer, Old One… a lot of this comes down to personal aesthetics.



VI.

When does metaphor blur into reality, reality into metaphor, and back again? Gach an am. We never stop filtering reality through our own subjective and comparative senses. How many shades of interpretation do you have to cross before you are thinking exactly like me? A few… or a few too many? Religion is symbolic. We use it to conceptualize certain ideas which are difficult to think about and even harder to discuss. Such ideas are abstract, such Gods unspeakable. Who knows exactly what all of this translates into? We do the best we can to understand and be understood. That's it. And even that is more than the universe usually allows.

Cé mhéid daoine sa saol seo iarracht go gníomhach chun nach dtuigeann gach ceann eile? Má tá tú riamh bhí comhrá a dhéanamh le duine a aontaíonn le tú, ansin ní ba chóir dom a bheith ag dul isteach go mion i bhfad an iomarca maidir leis an deacracht a bhaineann le talamh coitianta a aimsiú. Fiú má thagann an dá argóintí i gcoinne as an áit chéanna nó mar thoradh ar an gceann scríbe céanna, tá sé ag dul ann i gcónaí a bheith coimhlint. In áit ag díriú ar an méid atá formheasta, an chuid is mó díriú isteach ar an easaontas. Sin (duine) nádúr, ar an drochuair - an clár uilíoch. Mo chomhairle: ardú thuas. Argóint is iontach, ach níl an am a stopadh ag argóint. Nuair a troid lena chéile, stad muid ag troid na déithe seadánacha is lú an domhain.

Is maith liom a úsáid téarmaí creidimh chun níos mó fuinnimh, a spreagadh, agus gravitas a thabhairt chun na rudaí tábhachtacha ar gá iad a phlé. In ionad Chonaic awakened nó tar éis a baineadh amach an cuspóir, d'fhéadfadh muid a bhaint as an slánú focal. The conscious circle of humanity becomes the Kingdom of God, Emerald Kingdom, Heaven, Paradise, or possibly the lost city R'lyeh. The terror of our situation is transformed into the Devil. Missing the mark is the actual translation of sin. Ignorance of the messiah is tantamount to never having studied the Work. Hell is the loss of our True Will, thanks to squandered opportunities. Holding on to our false identity and negative emotions damns us to the fiery pit.

Do we need religion? Many would say no. Do we need metaphor? Probably not, but I'd be hard pressed to convey my meaning without it. I believe religion helps us emphasize the importance of things which ordinary people don't care about. “Why bother to Awaken? Awaken from what? I'm already awake, right?” No, not like how we define it. Only a 4th Way school can possibly show the masses what's really going on – the depth of this conspiracy against the human race (hello, Thomas Ligotti).

A online network of 4th Way students begins working throughout the world, it becomes a dominant school which joins with others, spiritual paths from all corners realize the Rosetta Stone qualities of this system, then a cultural shift may precipitate a political shift, Unification begins. Raising awareness will raise consciousness. Can you feel the forward motion of such changes?



VII.

Speaking of beliefs and arguments, I still get atheistic crusaders who demand that I admit the foolishness of creating a religion around the Cthulhu Mythos. Assuming that the Mythos belongs to Lovecraft and him alone (which is clearly not the case), let's look at this debate from a new angle.

Yes, Lovecraft did not outwardly believe in tangible entities named Shub-Niggurath and Yog-Sothoth. I'll concede that point as well, though a few would not. Nevertheless, describing such entities and the (anti)cosmic paradigm from which they come is the life's work of HP Lovecraft. Would anyone deny that? What's HPL's claim to fame if not his literary contributions, and why would anyone care about his writing if it never included witch-haunted Arkham, Dread Cthulhu, or the forbidden Necronomicon? Lovecraft is the Mythos; the Mythos is Lovecraft.

“All my stories, unconnected as they may be,” Lovecraft said, “are based on the fundamental lore or legend that this world was inhabited at one time by another race who, in practicing black magic, lost their foothold and were expelled, yet live on outside ever ready to take possession of this earth again.'”

Now, let's turn our attention to the Cthulhu Mythos itself. What does it want? It wants to disturb us. It whispers of those eldritch Devil-Gods in hushed tones for fear of summoning their shambling servitors or invoking the ultimate manifestation of horror that is their mere presence! The Mythos wants to expand and break free; it wants to show the inherent weakness of reality, as well as, the pathetic myopia of mankind.

Why shouldn't we give this rich mythology an outlet? Why not let it proliferate? Isn't that what Lovecraft's elder race desires? Even if everything is just a metaphor, like religion, is there not blasphemous wisdom in believing such strangeness? If life is merely shadows upon a cave wall, then why not make our own shadow figures in the likeness of fictional beings who represent the primal monstrosity beyond our fragile universe? Especially if those fictional beings hunger for our cave's destruction! If the Mythos can only be described as fantasy, then I submit that all reality, every aspect that you can name, is just as subjective and fantastical, yet several orders of magnitude duller than what Lovecraft proposed.

The scion of Providence has proven to be a dark prophet of our age: the age of slime. We can look at scholarly works or do our own analysis. Briefly, I'll mention Lovecraft's constant use of Tarot in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath . His occult research for “The Horror at Red Hook”. We can see the ancient astronauts in “The Call of Cthulhu”. Many of us have witnessed the miscegenation between humans and Deep Ones in “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”. What about the crosspollination of mathematics, magic, and folklore from “The Dreams in the Witch-House”? Finally, I'm always surprised to find Lovecraft enthusiasts who are blissfully unaware of the persistent Satanism within his sacrilegious texts. Lovecraft's unwavering use of demonology and Devil worship must have scurried from the dimly lit ritual chamber unseen, not unlike Brown Jenkin.

Sure, some may find our use of Lovecraftian aesthetics as distasteful as contemporary critics found Lovecraft's prose. Do 21st century readers not know how ridiculed and undervalued his work was in the 1920's and 30's? Stories about decadent grave robbers, awful things with disembodied voices deep in the earth, and strange cults waiting for the stars to come right again – we only revisit them now because of the authenticity Lovecraft and his circle gave them. We appreciate the Mythos now because nothing quite like it has emerged from weird fiction. There is a substantive and transcendent quality which the Cult of Cthulhu attempts to capture by taking the Mythos as real.

Many of us believe the baleful alienage of our prophet can transport an individual outside generally accepted reality. Such a vantage point allows the Cultist a rare perspective – objective consciousness! A glimpse into those interior dimensions which ordinary man tries to ignore – they are the keys. We are the doors. Call it. Call it. Call it! Yog-Sothoth clamors spherical and muculent at the threshold. We are your children. Hail to thee, Father. Yog-Sothoth is the key. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. All is one in Yog-Sothoth! That unquiet void within, deep inside our slumbering seed upon which the green stars shine. I cry for thee, bloody foetus… thou art my crimson phoenix! Awaken, star traveler, dripping bilious green slime upon our world. Awake!



VIII.

The other day, a Cultist asked me something. “Where's the 4th Way how-to manual?” He wanted to know exactly which book taught the precise exercises to put his evolution into high gear. This Cultist asked me for the low-down on how to Awaken in the shortest amount of time. And why not? It's a great question. Unfortunately, I had to tell him the truth. No 4th Way how-to manual exists. We might as well go searching for the real Necronomicon!

Here's the thing – we have to create our own how-to manual. Each 4th Way student must design his own regimen for waking up, and he has to follow it as best he can, knowing that his self-created route will have to change before too long. Aye, there's the rub! He cannot keep following the same well-worn path he just walked. New territory must be staked out, new paths explored. The student's progress towards Awakening is altered by his circumstances and discipline. The result is unique. Guiding principles remain the same, but the journey is always new and always into the unknown.
I've read a lot of Fourth Way books; followed many Fourth Way teachers, masters, and gurus; tried various techniques. About fifteen years of study and effort has yielded me a certain amount of understanding. Keep reading and I'll share with you a glowing shard of wisdom…

The road to higher consciousness is endless and infrequently traveled. The singular yet infinite door I have to walk through, again and again, is one of a kind. That door is a particular shape, color, and design because it's my door and my door alone. It leads to the Great Old Ones. No one can tell me exactly how to open it. I have to figure that out for myself. It requires a special key which only I can conjure. Books, masters, and fellow students are invaluable, but there's no universal device exterior to us which can unlock our true potential. There are no shortcuts. The way is simply the way we must go; the work is simply the work which must be done.

Think of all the wonderful things you could do with a million dollars. If I offered you a million dollars, would that get your attention? Would that motivate you? How bad do you want this money in my outstretched arms? What would you do to obtain it? How hard would you work? Money is freedom in the great illusion we call life. The Work is freedom outside of life, beyond the matrix. Now, think about this… how valuable is that money compared to your true self, your freedom from illusion, the green star seed inside you which has the potential to grow into God?

Let's make this choice a bit more interesting. What if I gave you a million dollars in exchange for your being locked up in prison? The money is less enticing now, isn't it? Personally, I'd rather have my freedom. But that's because I've tasted the sweet nectar of liberty. Most people can't say that because they are asleep – which is very much like prison. For an Awakened man, escaping from prison is everything. To him, a million dollars is as necessary to living deliberately as an excess of funny colored paper.

This is the difference between life and the Work. Life is all around us. It's everywhere because the matrix is all encompasing. I still find it hard to see through layer after layer of illusion, all very convincing and “real”. Often, I separate myself from life. I go inward, watching, focusing, remembering… sifting and winnowing. Our interior muscles, prison muscles let's call them, can change who we are but only if we have the will to exercise them (lift hard, rest, eat, and recover, then lift slightly harder). Turn your back upon life every once in awhile. You'll be surprised at what you see. Truth, brothers and sisters. The black mirror of redemption. Singularity. Oneness.

In the end, the money won't save you. Stop envying the rich celebrity douchebags who seem to have whatever it is you're looking for. It's not true. Don't envy them; their wealth and fame is built upon a house of cards. It's not real. Never was. Only that long and hard truth, which we continually run away from every chance we get, is real. Stop running. Find a way out of that prison. Allow me to help you or let another Cultist help you. It's easier to escape if you have the help of someone who is already free. You can think of me as a salesman. I sell freedom at a million dollars a pop. Only those few who are capable of turning their backs on the cash are worthy to proceed.

The other day, I received this question. “Don't Left Hand Path organizations such as the Temple of Set and Cult of Cthulhu stifle the antinomian impulse – the native lawlessness and taboo breaking which is required of LHP practitioners?

To some degree, yes. Nothing on this earth can be ideal and sustainable in its purest form. No organization is perfect, and that goes triple for every single member within the organization. Orders, individuals, and impulses have a tendency to degenerate. Sad, but there it is. Entropy exists because life is mechanical. Machines break down. Consciousness is organic. Conscious orders, individuals, and impulses adapt and evolve. Sustained effort is the work of God.

I do believe LHP groups can assist outsiders in going further out – beyond the barriers. Such types are, by definition, outside the normal parameters of life.

Organizations like the Cult of Cthulhu are for outsiders who want to do something with their “outsideness”. Our religion is not a haven for rebels without a cause or iconoclasts who no longer seek truth. We put outsiders to work. That's what we do. We provide an agenda and a structure. I'll come right out and tell you what those are: our agenda is to Awaken; our structure is that of a black magic lodge. Just as the Church of Satan (or Hugh Hefner's burgeoning Playboy empire) of the 1960's and 70's, the Cult of Cthulhu is an organization of non-joiners who share a particular ideal.

United, I think we can accomplish far more than we could working alone. A Cultist named Talek recently compared the Cult of Cthulhu to a Magnetic Center within the morass of random and conflicted 'I's called Left Hand Path. He noticed that Magnetic Center, like the Cult of Cthulhu, is willing to organize for the purpose of Awakening. Immediately, I saw the sense of his comparison, which is why I re-posted his comment at the “Directory of Awesome Posts” thread over on the Cult of Cthulhu discussion boards.



XI.

The Work must become real to us. Otherwise, we take it only as theory or worse – fiction! It's the same with the Cthulhu Mythos. Without belief, there is nothing. No passion, no energy, no stimulation, no drive, no discipline, no transcendence, and no change. Belief is the cornerstone of our viridescent teaching. Of course, as I've said many times before, belief isn't just reality. It's also a process, a journey. Merely saying something is true doesn't make it so. A belief system is usually a carefully created framework for us to hang our subjective reality upon like a coat rack. Our coat was made by the invisible hands of a thousand different influences. These influences subtly shape our worldview over time, like the erosion of rocks on the beach.

In the Cult of Cthulhu, I teach individuals to create a new belief system consciously. Doing it with intent makes all the difference in the world. Consciousness elevates a potentially hazardous concept like self-progamming to the sublime. The Work needs to make an impression on us. The prophetic prose of Lovecraft will hopefully have an impact on us. All the bits and pieces from Satanism to chaos magic to Gnosticism to Buddhism to my very own madness – it all needs to re-shape our essence. Influences collide with the surface parts of us all the time. That's not what this is about. I don't care about false personality. I'm only interested in the deep, dark stuff which can seep out of our core. It is radioactive material, and it can destroy the illusion if we have the Will.

So, let them ridicule us. After all, Cultists have a sense of humor. Most of us will laugh right along with the naysayers. I might even laugh the loudest! However, I don't let opposing belief systems tear mine down. That's just weak sauce. Why would I spend years creating something as intricate and profound as our emerald paradigm only to throw it all away when some random dude gives me the best possible advice he can think of: “Give up!” No, sorry. I don't think so. “Give up… please?” Nah, I'm good.

In the end, it is I who end up ridiculing my detractors. Allow me to demonstrate. “Hi, I'm average everyman. I think just like all the other people you've ever seen at Wal-Mart, McDonalds, and the mall. My opinion of Venger Satanis matters because I've heard stuff and/or he didn't show me enough respect one time. I know what I'm talking about. My mother said so. Plus, the vast majority (my closest internet buddies) agrees with me. OMG, I'm just that awesome! Weeeeeeeeeeee. Epic fail to you, VS.”

Hahaha! That was fun. Hey, where are you going? I was just kidding. No, come back. Ridicule me some more. Seriously, I could use a good laugh.


By His loathsome tentacles,

Venger As'Nas Satanis
Ipsissimus
Cult of Cthulhu

    This is indeed something very deep and as such, will require time to process. I am currently in the process of becoming something that I always somehow knew I would be. And believe it or not, this does directly relate to the articles posted in this essay… I'll see you around Cora and I'll definitely read later as I've made a bookmark…

  2. Rahm'Ahjhan says:

    Well said VS! I appreciate your tendency to continually restate the core of the Cult's philosophy through different metaphors while sprinkling a little extra in for the benefit of those a bit further along. The format of this essay is a nice shotgun of concepts and food for thought.

    Remember yourself… Be this moment… And Awaken.

  3. Yahn'ikthorn says:

    Great article, I like the mixture of prose & hard fact. Makes me want to open that Fourth Way book by Ouspensky and get to Work.

    You are truly insightful in this essay! I totally have the same issues that are mentioned in this essay that I want to fix. I don't identify with my body, whenever I refer to myself I think of a swirling vortex of chaotic, ever changing energy. Whenever I do this my body feels more relaxed, I can have it recall things better, if I am in a good mood it literally affects others around me, enhancing their performance. But, I always get this feeling that there is an invisible force of some kind
    trying to force me back into my primitive and dull half existence, where “I” have no control. That scares me more than a flying polyp (they're sooo scary looking no offense to those who ally themselves with these beings).

    I also enjoy your personification of the unknown is a pit/gate to some hellish dimension, it shows how we are afraid of something alien to ourselves. It's a natural reaction of our body, it wants to survive, and if it sees something unknown
    to it, it will shudder and go into withdrawal. “I” wish I could stay awake, but something doesn't want me to, I think it is my body. Maybe some otherworldly entity has control over it when “I” am not present, and when my body is in
    control it sucks! It's anxious, unfocussed and just plain miserable. But when “I” am in control, it is like I can see things for what they are, nothing can escape me. “I” feel that “I” am getting close, soon I will awaken and be free.
    Maybe that's all “we” want, freedom, and could care less if the world is good or evil, freedom is what “we” want.

    Wonderful essay, the last bits are very instructive. It is true, we should find our own original way to awaken,
    because our essence, the real “Us” knows what is right.

  5. Donnie Ray says:

    Up to VI at this point. I think I should say that a well known LHP philosopher once said (I'm paraphrasing) “The end goals of the left hand path are not natural. Nature desires to keep us under her thumb. To keep us from becoming what we want to be.” Yet Anton Lavey argued that the LHP accepts man as he is rather than imposing unnatural wants and desires into him like so many of the mainstream religions. I prefer to think that LHP practitioners people who be who they want to be! Whether it's natural or not is irrelevant. I am who I choose to be.

  6. SororOAC says:

    Wonderful Essay! I really enjoyed reading it and found a lot of useful insights into myself and my journey through the wastes. For that, Venger Satanis, I thank you!

    I am new to the Cult of Cthulhu.

    I can certainly identify with Collins. It seems that for years I have been standing at the edge of the Hell/pit but lacked the will to take the plunge. In all the time I have pursued the theistic Satanist path I have not found any group or individual who has given such depth to the voice of the LHP as Venger Satanis. In this writing and others, it is as if he is writing about my own struggles, questions, desires and goals. In the short time that I have studied the writing of Venger Satanis, I have been asking many questions about my relationship with Satan and what Satan wants with and for me and where do I go from here. There is so much to learn and so much to gain. I am only beginning to see what a prison I live in and how far I have to go before I can find my salvation in a dark and blasphemous paradise.

    Hail Satan!
    Hail Venger Satanis!
    Hail Cthulhu!

    This response is dedicated to the Blue Pill.

    “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” ~ Galileo

    I.

    In the dark chambers of endless screaming, we madmen in our black shrouds will mumble dim veneration to the immensely powerful and dominating entities destined to breach the sky. On that day, rending asunder its still azulian mountains of cloud and clarity, the hideous darkness of space will confirm for the faithful that the illusion we take for reality is the very reality itself, and the Gods upon whom we rely have our best interests at heart. Who created the gate and why? Those alien beings, Demon-God messiahs, hungering for our minds and willing to exchange it for the salvation of our souls.

    Awakening is never redundant. Its deft puissance glorifies the reality we pursue in our thrall to our horrific masters. Our manifesting may never be mistaken for passive living, no matter how futile our cogitations and activities. We are the directors of our True Wills, sacrificed unto the Elder Gods and forever maligned.

    “God did not give man thought to appreciate his life but to fear his death.” ~
    Mike Hutchison

    Red is the colour of stopping, of blood, and of peril. It curtails the Awakening process, suffusing us in a wash of illusion and dire consequence. We *are* already awake. As masters we will discern the progress we have made, for we are the ones capable of assessing how awesome we have become in our power. The sleep of Life, ordinary pursuits of conventional, physical results, are all fantasies! They bear no relation to our reality. We have our eyes set on the concentric circles of the Inner Life, the distended dimensions of the Great Old Ones, spinning tendriled directing mysteries through our brains and hearts. Their thoughts are the True Awakening. Their call, the True Gnosis. Open to all possibilities, ready for their Perfect Truths, we are open-minded and pure.

    Losing control is weakness, failure, and the Sleep of Ignorance. Abandoning the lilting flute of the Elder Piper, our resolve becomes faint, our dominion softens and allows inferior human values to once again resume, our concern for the conventions of human society, of the resolved 'I' of corporate delusion, to reign once more. When they speak for us, we are lost. We always make misstakes. Our approach has imperfections. The Great Old Ones see these flaws and correct them, drawing nearer from their cyclopian architecture and trapezoidal portals so as to inflict upon us the discipline we so richly deserve.

    The universe is arrayed against us. The bilious green rivulets of pulsating, luminous, malevolent slush will help us. They will make us Gods and then we shall dominate the universe to which we are now subject. Gods are ineffable commanders of the cloven-hoofed demiurgic forces keeping Man's illumination submerged. Gods are unknown and we shall become them. With patient dedication to our glorious masters, we shall emerge, employing our personal aesthetic, as messiahs. God is our destination. We shall see all sides at once, manifesting objective consciousness and understanding that which is beyond us.

    Metaphor blurs into reality, reality into metaphor, and back again. The conscious circle of humanity becomes the Kingdom of God, Emerald Kingdom, Heaven, Paradise, and the beautiful City of R'lyeh. The terror of our situation is transformed into the demesne of the Devil.

    “Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal” ~ HP Lovecraft, “The Tomb”

    III.

    All the mythos, unconnected as they may be, are based on the fundamental lore or legend that this world was inhabited at one time by another race who, in practicing black magic, lost their foothold and were expelled, yet live on outside ever ready to take possession of this earth again. They want to disturb us. They whisper of those eldritch Devil-Gods in hushed tones for fear of summoning their shambling servitors or invoking the ultimate manifestation of horror that is their mere presence! They want to expand and break free; they want to show the inherent weakness of the reality that is a metaphor that is a reality, as well as the pathetic myopia of mankind.

    There is blasphemous wisdom in believing such strangeness. Life is shadows upon a Cave wall, so we make our own shadow figures in the likeness of the primal monstrosity beyond our fragile universe. Those beings hunger for our Cave's destruction! All reality, every aspect that we can name, is subjective and fantastical.

    We are the doors. Call it. Call it. Call it! Yog-Sothoth clamors spherical and muculent at the threshold. We are your children. Hail to thee, Father! Yog-Sothoth is the key. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. All is one in Yog-Sothoth! That unquiet void within, deep inside our slumbering seed upon which the green stars shine. We cry for thee, bloody foetus! Thou art my crimson phoenix! Awaken, star traveler, dripping bilious green slime upon our world. Awake! The End of our Cave is nigh!

    Each cultist must design her own regimen for waking up, and she has to follow it as best she can, knowing that her self-created route will have to change before too long. Aye, there's the rub! She cannot keep following the same well-worn path she just walked. New territory must be staked out, new paths explored.

    The true value is our freedom from illusion, the green starseed inside us which shall grow into a God. Escaping from prison is everything. The difference between life and the Work is that life is all around us. It's everywhere because the Cave is all encompassing. Layer after layer of illusion deceives us, all very convincing and real.

    Nothing on this earth can be ideal and sustainable in its purest form. No organization is perfect, and that goes triple for every single cultist. Orders, individuals, and impulses have a tendency to degenerate. Entropy exists because life is mechanical. Machines break down. Consciousness is organic. Conscious orders, individuals, and impulses adapt and evolve. Sustained effort is the work of Gods.

    We provide an agenda and a structure. Our agenda is to Awaken; our structure is that of a black magic lodge. The Cult of Cthulhu is an organization of non-joiners who share a particular ideal.

    Merely saying something is true doesn't make it so. A belief system may be a carefully created framework for us to hang our subjective reality upon like a coat rack. Our coat was made by the invisible hands of a thousand different influences. These influences subtly shape our worldview over time, like the erosion of rocks on the beach.

    In the dark chambers of endless screaming, we madmen in our black shrouds will mumble dim veneration to the immensely powerful and dominating entities destined to breach the sky.

    Venger Satanis,

    I absolutely love it!! Now I will be ready to talk about some of my difficulties and I understand it all very well. And Venger, none of this seems obscure to me. Ia Ia Cthulhu F'taghn!

    It's working, (or I am!)…I'm beginning to take charge of my life…thank you for the insightful essay.
