The Aims of the ONA
ONA 1994 eh
The fundamental aims of the ONA are:
1) To increase the number of genuine Adepts, Masters/Lady Masters, by
guiding individuals along the path to Adeptship and beyond.
2) To make the path to Adeptship and beyond [the 'Seven-Fold Sinister Way']
more widely available, enabling anyone, should they possess the necessary
desire, to strive toward the ultimate goal.
3) To extend esoteric knowledge and techniques - i.e. to (a) creatively
extend our esoteric knowledge and understanding and thus increase the
consciousness of our species; (b) develop new techniques which make this
new knowledge and understanding useful to those following the Seven-Fold
Sinister Way; (c) implement this knowledge and understanding in a practical
way, thus causing change(s) in society/societies. Areas of importance for
the immediate future are: (i) musick; (ii) Art/images/'film' etc.; (iii)
the creation of an 'esoteric' community; and (iv) the development and
extension of an abstract symbolic language ('beyond the Star Game').
4) To implement sinister strategy - i.e. to presence the acausal (or 'the
dark forces') via nexions and so change evolution. One immediate aim is to
presence acausal energies in a particular way so creating a new aeon and
then a new, higher, civilization from the energies unleashed.
In respect of (1). This will be a slow process, by virtue of the difficulty
of the Way, and the desire of most of those interested in esoteric arts for
an 'easy option'. It is anticipated that only about four or five new Adepts
(at most) will emerge every decade (i.e. an average of one per year). Of
these, only two per decade will probably make it to the stage of
Master/Lady Master. These figures are unlikely to increase until the
energies of the new aeon become more pronounced (around 2020 eh) - even
then, the increase will be gradual. It will not be before 2070 (at the
earliest) that there will be a significant increase. This slow progression
is natural and necessary - great numbers are not required in order for the
more immediate covert aims (e.g. regarding sinister strategy) to be
achieved.
In respect of (2). This will arise by itself provided the continuity of the
Order is maintained.
In respect of (3). Since the Destiny of each ONA Adept is unique, these
aims and others will be fulfilled by those Adepts striving for the next
stage, that of Master/Lady Master. It should be remembered that Adepts -
although they possess a knowledge and some understanding of Aeonics - are
actually still swayed by aeonic forces: i.e. their Destiny achieves
supra-personal aeonic aims. In effect, their Destiny is part of the wyrd of
the civilization and thus the aeon to which they belong. A Master/Lady
Master, by virtue of having reached that stage, can transcend this wyrd and
implement their own.
In respect of (4). The fundamental immediate aim [c. 1990 eh - 2020 eh]
here is to actively presence the energies of the next aeon and channel
these, via various nexions, forms, structures, 'ideas' and so on, to create
the next higher civilization. The former means accessing the acausal [in
the simplistic term sense 'returning the Dark Gods' via various rites] and
creating those forms/structures necessary to channel the energies so
accessed. This will take several decades. [ Some structures/forms/ideas
etc. have already - i.e. before 1994 eh - been created.] In conjunction
with these things, there will be disruption of existing structures/ideas
etc. by Masters/Adepts/novices.
Beyond this immediate aim [ i.e. beyond 2020 eh ] there is the nurturing of
the new energies and the forms/structures etc. created to presence these.
This will last several centuries - and during this time one of the tasks of
the Order is to presence the acausal at regular intervals via certain rites
at certain sites, thus ensuring the survival of those things imbued with
such energies, one of which will be the new civilization and thus the
societies it gives rise to.
^^^^^^^^^^
Expressed simply, the aim of the ONA is to create a new species -
tosignificantly change our evolution as a species. This will take time -
many centuries, in fact. The Seven-Fold Way is a practical means whereby an
individual, now, can develop and so become a part of this new species. The
other activities which the Order pursues are directed toward changing
present structures and creating a new civilization whereby this new species
can be made real on a large scale: the societies of such a civilization
aspiring to realize this goal in a practical way. The ONA is not interested
in transitory 'fame'/notoriety - and neither does it desire to attract
large numbers of 'followers'. It is not in the business of competing with
other 'Satanic' or 'Occult' groups because such groups are irrelevant,
lacking any understanding of sinister strategy and incapable of really
guiding their members toward and beyond a genuine Adeptship. Such groups
usually represent the ego of one person, who surrounds him/her self with
sycophantic followers, and/or they fumble about in diverse mumbo-jumbo
lands, playing fantasy games, try to evoke long-dead archetypes and forms,
and worship their petty, mostly bovine selves. What the ONA desires to
achieve is significant and worth-while - it is not transitory. The ONA does
not depend on the whim of some self-appointed 'leader' as it does bleat
about some fantasy-given "mandate" from some "higher authority". It does
not peddle some spurious, continually updated theory nor offer religious
answers to keep individuals in thrall. Neither does the ONA declare that
its worth is based on some pretentious/legendary 'tradition'. The worth of
the ONA lies in its aims and the practical methods it has created, and will
create, to achieve those aims.
^^^^^^^^^^
Membership of the ONA basically means an individual following the SevenFold
Way as explicated in the various Order MSS. Members should understandthat
they are thus part of an Order which has long-term aims - of centuries and
more. By actively following and using the methods and rites of the Order
they are actively aiding those aims.
The rites of the ONA - and the Seven-Fold Way itself - create and/or
maintain those sinister energies which the ONA represents and has accessed.
In effect, an individual, undertaking, for example, a rite from 'The Black
Book of Satan', is aiding those sinister energies and thus the sinister
dialectic. Such rites and the Way itself have been created to do this -
that is, they directly presence the acausal.
Each member of the ONA is thus a nexion to the acausal - they are
participating in, by their following of the Way and by the rites they
undertake, the work of evolution: they are making their lives instruments
for acausal change. Expressed simply, they are fulfilling the potential
latent within them. They are positively contributing to evolution - they
are using their lives to some purpose. Members of the ONA are doing and
achieving - they are being significant and shaping future events. They are
making history.
Compared to this, other groups are irrelevant.
