Uncle Setnakt would
like you to consider how you are already practicing divinity in
your own life. The Right Hand Path says your life is ruled by a
mechanical law, called karma or the will of god. We feel that
your life is ruled by a mechanical law called the path of least
resistance and that law can be overcome by conscious begins. This
work helps you detect how you have already overcome this law and
how much there still is to discover and integrate into your mind.
1. Analyze an intentional change you've made. Take something you
did with awareness and desire (as opposed to some adaptation that
circumstances forced you to make). Say for example a decision to
move to a new home, because the new home offered you
opportunities for privacy. See how you have prospered by
obtaining your goals in a rational manner. Now analyze the same
event looking for supra-rational benefits you have gained -- good
things (and opportunities for growth) that have come into your
life directly from your willed decision, but which in no way
could be predicted as logically following.
Analyze enough of
your life and you will discover that when you have put these
things into motion with your will you have exceeded mechanical
chance. Concentrate these feelings of power in your life -- link
the incidents one to another in your mind.
2. Analyze a moment of pure creativity. Take something you've
made for no utilitarian reason. Doodles drawn while on the phone
are excellent. Why did you enjoy making this
pattern? Why is there happiness at creation?
The joy of creation makes little if any biological sense, but
makes a great deal of sense if we discover our being through our
creativity. This is directly opposed to the, "No graven
images." commandment. Become aware of how important it is to
be a Creator.
3. Make note of those things that become self-sustaining. Note
when any suggestion you've made becomes policy seemingly against
the odds. I'm not talking about something you brought about in a
normal work-a-day fashion, but those ideas of your
that came into being on their own.
For example you casually suggest a change in the way your
cleaners handle their merchandise tracking. Although they tell
you that they can't do what you say; next time you return your
policy is in place. Each of these incidents shows that you have
powers beyond the mechanical processes of the world.
Note each and come to see yourself as a creator of movement in
the world.
4. Pray to yourSelf. Look through your life to find some prayers
that were answered by the Right Hand Path god of your choice.
Maybe one day you prayed for your car to start or for health to
return or to get luck on a date. As well as you possibly can
remember the words and practices. Then when you are in the same
situation repeat that prayer -- except entirely to yourSelf,
making references to no god but you. Continue this practice until
you have results. Come to see yourself as the cause for all
seeming miracles in your life. It is you, the self created god,
not some divinely appointed destiny.
5. Encourage the worship of yourself by others. Now don't be a
prig about it like IHVH -- don't insist on no gods but me -- etc.
Certainly don't be a jealous god, you can help others in their
self deification. Be sure you have a nice birthday party, that
others have chance to praise you when you do well etc. Then when
you've created a little friend and fan club, begin to practice
the simple Lesser Black Magic of telling the story that people
who do good things for you have good things happen to them (and
the converse -- eventually these people's unconscious Greater
Black Magic will make this
a condition of the world). Continue this practice at least until
you can discover that some good has come your way because some
one you do not know (directly) has been told you're a worthy
individual by some one else you do not know directly. This will
show that your presence is equal in force to any mankind's
created gods -- that faith in you is strong to create a
missionary movement. Of course this should be done secretly and
subtly. If you outwardly proclaim your godhood crucifixion can
result.
Christianity may be understood as one self deified individual
letting his practices get out of hand. Jesus is an example of a
Black Magician without ethics.
6. Practice your godhood among your followers. When one of your
fans is in trouble, magically use the Power of your Name to help
him. Not out of pity or compassion but to Understand the nature
of the name of a divine being. Once again keep this practice to
yourself. Do this until you have results. This illustrates the
power of the Word of Moses IHVH in which a fan club or
political/cultural organization can create laws beyond the
natural, an identity, and a bargaining position with the unknown
by use of a Name. This not only produces an objective change in
the world as an example of your own divinity, it
will begin to illustrate the power of the word to open new
potentials of power within you. This practice is highly
recommended for someone who wishes to use words to explore
himSelf/herSelf through such means as the Enochian Aethyrs. Be
sure you have results here first.
7. Mythologize your birth in the manner of Christ, Buddha,
Zoroaster etc. Learn to see your physical birth as the
manifestation of the divine. You may wish to use a number of
different masks in this. See yourself as a tribal hero returned,
a god incarnated, or a visitor from another world. Play with
these mythologies -- remembering to discard them
once they've awakened in you the true knowledge that you are
beyond the circumstances of flesh and history.
Seek out the facts of
your birth to feed your mythology with facts, create a mental
list of all the historical things that had to happen in order for
you to be born.; For example in Uncle Setnakt's case the Irish
potato famine and the temporary existence of an ice bridge. These
stories will allow you to work upon yourSelf and the world from
the same basis as the aforementioned magi, but it will keep you
from losing yourSelf
to any mythology not of your creation (or recreation).
8. Create other beings. One of the signs of godhood is the
ability to create other beings. Look through traditional magic
systems concerning such creations -- whether the Judaic Golems or
the Tibetan tulpa -- create an entity to accomplish a certain
task and then return itself to you and offer itself up as
sacrifice to your godhead. Watch without otherwise interfering in
this task is accomplished and when it is await the return of the
created one. You'll discover that you can create self willed
entities and eventually you may wish to create and not absorb
them. This will prove that you have all the powers of a god, and
will direct your creations toward the cause of human freedom
rather than any short term purposes. And even then you will birth
a few monsters.
9. After you've become aware of your godhood announce it to all
the worlds within and without. Perform a ritual after your
fashion in which the message is, "I abrogate all rituals
except those I create. There is no magic done in any galaxy save
that it empowers me -- this is the law of the only true god! I am
the measure of beauty, there is no beauty except through me. I am
the Truth, I am the Way, I am the Life. There
are no gods before me, there is no power equal to my desire. I
have always existed and by the power of my Name I am come to full
awareness. All the universe is destroyed and re-created bearing
the mark of what is newly of me. Naught exists save to teach me,
to please me, and to give me a cutting edge to my own Becoming.
The dead gods of mankind arise to do me homage and I blow them
away like dust when
their play called history has offered all it can to me."
Uncle Setnakt hopes you have a pleasant day.
