O9A: The Many Benefits Of Being Banned If the American and the British governments are successful in their attempt to have the Order of Nine Angles (O9A, ONA) banned/proscribed as a "terrorist entity" {1} despite the O9A in reality being an esoteric philosophy that has morphed to become a subculture, {2} then it will have some benefits for the few who currently support that philosophy or who have adopted one of the three lifestyles of O9A subculture: Drecc, Rounwytha, and Hebdomadary. The first benefit will be that O9A-pretenders, fearful of being regarded as "terrorists" or supporters of terrorism, will scurry away having taken down their pathetic blogs and websites and will no longer, via the medium of the Internet, pretend to be O9A. {3} The second benefit is that the O9A will officially, courtesy of the Establishment, be heretical with recruitment - for example to the physis-changing Seven Fold Way - returning to the ancient tradition of sorcerers and sorceresses by being covert, on an individual basis, involving a testing of the candidate who is unaware of so being tested. The third benefit is that it will encourage the development of O9A-inspired non-Longusian esoteric traditions such as The Hebdomian Way which eschews trying to change "what-is - such as society or societies - by any means including but not limited to means which are or which can classified as political, religious, ideological, social, mythological or Occult." {4} In addition, in Aeonic terms - of decades and of a century or more - it will make no difference to the dissemination of the heretical views and perceiverations and learning and aural traditions that O9A folk have propagated since the 1970s since they have always been disseminated individually, on a personal basis. Which perceiverations and learning include: (i) how all causal abstractions (the result of denotata and the named categories which result) conceal and cleave our physis as human beings; {5} (ii) how all governments, societies, nations and ideologies and even religions are subject to metamorphosis - reformation, counter-reformation - and to eventual decline and replacement; (iii) how all Aeonic, evolutionary, change in our human physis depends on virtues such as empathy, personal honour, and the personal and familial transmission over generations of our own pathei- mathos and that of others as preserved in our human culture of pathei-mathos and our esoteric traditions such as the adventure of seeking and discovering Lapis Philosophicus. Which heretical aural traditions include (i) first-hand accounts of the Second World War transmitted originally from soldiers and airmen such as Leon Degrelle, Otto Ernst Remer, Hans-Ulrich Rudel, and Otto Skorzeny, and (ii) the mythos of Vindex and thus the birth of new clans and tribes. {6} Decline, Replacement, Asabiyyah, And The Aeonic Perspective One of the least known aspects of the esoteric philosophy of Anton Long - of the Longusian hermetic tradition - and perhaps one of the least understood, is the Aeonic Perspective which infuses and affects the life and the deeds of the Adept. Which perspective is explained in A Glossary of Order of Nine Angles Terms, v. 7.05, as "some of the knowledge O9A folk have acquired through a combination of practical experience, through a scholarly study, and through using certain Occult faculties and skills, such as esoteric-empathy. This knowledge is of the birth-life-death of Aeons and their associated civilizations, and of how the esoteric movement that is the O9A has a perspective - a sinister dialectic - of both centuries and of "the sinister- numinous" and of how Aeons manifest acausality through "the sinister-numinous". In addition, the knowledge includes how a new aeon can be brought-into-being and how it manifests καλὸς κἀγαθός." {7} The metamorphosis of Aeons and their associated civilizations - their nature and their necessary decline, replacement, and ultimate demise - also applies as noted above to not only the causal governments, societies, nations, ideologies and religions, of such Aeons and civilizations, but also to the causal abstractions that such causal entities manufacture during their temporal life. The Adept therefore has or has acquired an a-causal view of such causal abstractions and causal entities which in practice means that Adepts have no further need of, or like the Rounwytha were never involved with, the dialectic of opposites and the personal learning that can result from an exeatic championing of one opposite against the other, or sometimes of both opposites at the same or at different times. Thus the majority of Adepts concentrate on the slow generational transmission of their esoteric knowledge and/or on adding to the knowledge and understanding of human culture through such mediums as Art, music, Cræfts, {8} science, literature, and scholarly study and research. There is thus no concern with what some have termed 'the great replacement'; no need for so-called 'accelerationism'; and certainly no aim, no desire among us, as many mistakenly believe, to "seek the violent overthrow [of] Western civilization through violent means," {9} be such means described by the Establishment and others as "terrorism" or otherwise. For not only will that causal entity termed Western civilization naturally decline and fall and be replaced in the not too distant future, probably within the next hundred years or so, but such violent means means will achieve little, if anything, of any consequence in Aeonic terms, as Myatt during his years of neo-nazi activism came to understand from personal experience. {10} This understanding of the metamorphosis - of the decline, replacement, and demise, of societies - was understood centuries earlier by the Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun who in his seminal text al-Muqaddimah {11} described how what he termed Asabiyyah, the initial bonds of loyalty, trust, and shared experience (pathei-mathos) of clans and tribes and which bonds are often the genesis of societies, change and break-down over four or so generations of causal time leading to fundamental changes within and the eventual decline of societies. That such understanding, such wisdom, is seldom known and seldom appreciated even in the modern West - and even if known by those in positions of power and influence within an existing modern society - is never acted upon, is indicative of how primitive we as a species, en masse, still are. Which primitivity is why personal esoteric adventures such as the traditional O9A Seven Fold Way {12} and the more recent Hebdomian Way {13} were devised and are generationally transmitted: to lead, over periods of causal time, more and more individuals to discovering such wisdom through practical challenges and an appreciation of The Aeonic Perspective.

Although this naming and expression [which I explain] exists, human beings tend to ignore it, both before and after they have become aware of it. Yet even though, regarding such naming and expression, I have revealed details of how Physis has been cleaved asunder, some human beings are inexperienced concerning it, fumbling about with words and deeds, just as other human beings, be they interested or just forgetful, are unaware of what they have done. </quote> * Eris refers to the Greek goddess Ἔρις and as a word means 'strife, discord'. {6} (a) In regard to clans and tribes see the reference to Ibn Khaldun below.

It was originally penned as sequel to his 1984 Vindex - The Destiny Of the West but diverged from that text in significant ways utilizing as it does aspects of Myatt's evolution of the National Socialist ideology of Hitler and the Third Reich which evolution he termed ethical National-Socialism. One important divergence was that the notions of the State and of race are replaced by folk communities and folkish clans. Another was that the principle of eternal struggle - often termed the survival of the fittest - is rejected as are the invasion and occupation of other terrestrial lands, and the concept of racial or ethnic superiority. Another divergence was an extensive critique of those peoples of the West who had helped destroy National Socialist Germany and who had allowed or facilitated what Myatt in Vindex - The Destiny Of the West described as the Magian distortion of the West. He termed these people 'the White hordes of Homo Hubris' who were 'the natural allies and servants of The Magian.' Crucial to his analysis of clan and tribe, and of 'the White hordes of homo hubris', are the concepts of honour and of the numinous." {7} https://archive.org/download/o9a-glossary-v7/o9a-glossary-v7c.pdf {8} As noted in Julius Evola, The Seven Fold Way, And The Corpus Hermeticum - https://archive.org/download/evola- 7fw-v3/evola-7fw-v5.pdf - this older selling implies more than the modern usage associated with the word 'craft'. {9} Affidavit sworn by Special Agent Faye Stephan, assigned to the FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, before Judge Stewart D.
