With Baphomet on the Left Hand Path




Baphomet, drawn by the hand of Crimson Pond


No need to explain here at large that the Devil isn’t a Christian, or any other Abrahamic religion’s invention. As Crowley wrote “The Devil is, historically, the God of any people one personally dislikes”, so the Devil, or the Evil One has existed since the dawn of the  human history. On the other hand, that remark by Crowley was made to the bolded statement in Book 4, Part III, Chapter XXI, section II: “The Devil does not exist. It is a false name invented by the Black Brothers to imply a Unity in their ignorant muddle of dispersions. A devil who had unity would be a God.”
True, the Devil does not exist. S/he, or It is what Life lacked, lacks, and will ever lack. 

A mystery that will never be understood. S/he, or It is what inspires us to “create what shouldn’t be created, and to “destroy what shouldn’t be destroyed”.* Thus S/he, or It introduces the Path of Evil by making us to realize the Cosmic Offence that not only Life does not belong to us, but that we do not own even our individual lives, being driven by unknown unconscious forces, that we are a temporary formations of energy, which are to be dissolved in some immense ocean of energy wherefrom new and unrecognizable formations will emerge to replace us, that the individual consciousness and the self mean nothing after all. 

 The very image of Baphomet as portrayed by E. Levi and by many others after him shows an absurd, paradoxical being, something impossible to exist, something monstrous beyond what seems to be of the existing order of nature. As some stubborn fellow-countrymen of mine would curtly say: “There’s no such an animal!” Indeed, except partly, no mythology in the documented human history could witness the existence of such a deity as well. Moreover, comprising all the elements, all possible life forms and sexes,  Baphomet implies self-sufficiency, which is also something impossible in nature, where everything is interdependent. So for the time being, Baphomet is an appropriate symbol of the Devil who does not exist.


Therefore, mathematically, the Devil, or Baphomet, has a Zero Unity. S/he, or It is just a chance of Unity in an Abyss of Dispersion, what in fact the universe may come out to be despite of the wishful expectations of both mystics and scientists. We still know nothing after all.

However, those who try to make use of that chance, or to take a credit from the Devil, are mostly failures. Such is the human weakness. Well it’s quite naturally in the early phase of one’s evolution a certain human-centric model of the cosmos to be adopted. When undressed till stark naked and deprived of any tools, the human is also an absurd being at the background of the climate of that planet and its predatory nature. The human origin remains a mystery despite of all religious and scientific speculations. Having survived nevertheless and imposed  its dominance on that planet, it’s naturally therefore for the human being to make of itself the center of the cosmos.


Coming closer to the Abyss of Dispersion, however, one starts to realize that the human is a means of Life, rather than vice versa. All those consumerist ideas of “God” made the human after His own image, of giving him power over all the fishes in the sea, over all the birds in sky, and over all the beasts in the field have led to that detrimental civilization which today threatens the whole organic life on the planet. Life, being itself a mystery, may take the necessary measures of discarding that which threatens the rest of its forms and create a better means of expressing its sentience. 


How boring and ridiculous is indeed the “spiritual attainment” of those who claim to have attained “the unity with God”, the Oneness within that human-centric model, based on the safety of human species only. Those fellows use to live in a artificial human-centric clockwork Universe full of harmony and “karma”, which allows no deviation. There are also those timid perverts who regard the deviation itself  as a means of “God” to make the “prodigal sons” turning back to “Him”. They may even regard themselves as pagans, or as wiccans, but despite of their claims they still remain irremediable monotheists.  The cherished aim of becoming  “All in One, and One in All” is where everything ends, a bubble of illusion. In fact, they project their human ego they allegedly deny, unto the universe. According to a certain magical experience, those who claim to have “seen  God”, have seen in the best case the Human Egregore, or the field of energy generated by the human species. (Strange enough, why then they do not see that egregore as a hermaphrodite, as it should be - containing both the human sexes, but still see it as a male?)That egregore, however, presents a very small part of the Life Force, which after all comes out to have little to do with the human projections made onto it.

The cliché-makers of any genuine magical concept - what the “Brothers of the Right Hand Path” actually are, the guardians of the Old Aeon and the status quo, seek to gain some time against the genuine forces of the New Aeon - forces, which could be recognized by their both sinister and refreshing energy. The hypocrisy and magical incompetence of these magical censors is particularly manifested in modern times via the “New Age” movement with all its pseudo-ecologic care, vegan manias, political correctness, feminism, leftism etc. turning any survived remnant of  genuine paganism into a mediocre and conformist piece of shit. They are on their way to separate the symbol of Baphomet from the Devil and turn it into a substitute for their need of monotheism - thus hoping to simulate some Life-centric model, yet with all the human morality projected thereunto plus certain anti-ego elements taken from the Buddhists - another set of total spiritual decadents and nihilists, hiding behind a religious dogma and hoping to attain the zero existence of Nirvana by mortification of their desires lest they turn them back to the flesh of suffering. (To be continued...)
