Beyond
the Black Pill
By
Ben Zen
Since
the short term, after Trump’s betrayal – or uncloaking, depending
on how you look at it – is a bit depressing, let’s slide a
further bit up the scale , and look at the metahuman entities – the
gods – in play. And just briefly beyond that.
With
the Red Pill failed, the Black Pill becomes an obvious solution. I
sought some solace in the Black Pill, but there doesn’t seem to be
any there. The Black Pill, as usually formulated, seems to
equate to Nihilism. Which is certainly a perspective you can take,
but it’s neither comforting nor productive.
I
have the same problem with the Black Pill as I do with Gnosticism,
both as usually formulated. They both tell us that just because
life on earth at the moment, for us, beyond our little comfort
bubbles (for those of us who have them), is fucked…. that the earth
is a bad place, that is not only totally under the thumb of evil, but
made from it in the first place. And with this I cannot,
must not agree.
I
think that those of us who have found or awakened in ourselves
something of the Divine Spirit have found some comfort and solace in
Nature. I don’t mean walking in the woods on a weekend. As
Savitri Devi would’ve pointed out (had she been to Disneyland),
Nature is a harsh master, not a theme park. Nature is beyond
good and evil on the level of the individual member of a species, or
even of the species itself; Nature as manifest in our immediate
environment, is indeed Gaia, if we can consider that concept of an an
Earth mother devoid of the Universalist, Wiccan connotations it’s
commonly trapped in. Or better yet, she is Jörð, the mother
of Thor. Which pretty much makes us, the chosen people of Odin
or Wotan, the children of Thor. That gives you some idea of
what you need to do.
Gnosticism,
which is sometimes thought of as a Christian heresy but which seems
for the most part really portions of an older, truer teaching, is the
most unfortunately often caught up in Christian conceptualization or
seen through the Christian lense. It does teach us the
important teaching, that the true God (to use the big sense of the
word), is the one pure existence from whom all Being, and more,
emanates, and Who is not knowable, in any way. In a way,
that God is beyond Existence itself, above Existence and
Non-Existence. There is however a mirror image, to use a weak
metaphor, of that God, Who can be the highest goal of knowledge,
although if you ask me, even that is asking a bit much. That
manifest, Existent but also Unknowable God is known as the Barbēlō
, if you like. (There won’t be a quiz). Also not at a level
which is much use to us.
Beyond
that, mainstream Gnosticism tends to get complex and foggy. But
down at the far end of Archetypes, manifestations of God as He
emanates (not creates! mind you), is the goddess Sophia, Wisdom. And
Wisdom makes a mistake. She tries to do something on her own
which does not emanate so purely from the Barbelo (I’m going to
Anglicize these to save myself keyboard work). And she creates
Yaldaboath, which is where all the fun begins. Not, Yaldaboath,
in most Gnostic traditions, goes on to create this flawed, material
Universe in which we live, in which perfection, true attainment of
knowledge of God, is not possible, without Gnosis, which is direct
knowledge of the God who exists outside of this Universe. Man,
in Gnosticism, originates because Sophia realizes her mistake and
goes back to the Barbelo for help, so Man is born with a Divine Spark
of sorts, a bit of the true God with which to go back beyond and
before (ontologically speaking) the Barbelo. Hence Gnostic
practices and traditions.
From
Gnosticism, we get the concept of the Demiurge, who is the creator of
this World. He is a sick, twisted creature, and this is a sick
twisted world. Hence the escapist, other-worldly character of
Gnosticism. The Black Pill indeed, except there is a way out. But
I don’t think we need to go this far.
Because
it is apparent to me that this world is in fact, a “good” place.
Although Nature is harsh and merciless, the Earth, alive as a
metahuman entity, is a direct flowing from “Creation” (the
Barbelo), from the Divine Source. She is “good”, not bad.
Although I am a believer in Deep Ecology, the Deep Ecology of
Pentti Linkola; the good of the earth may indeed involve the
eradication of Man. But that’s not our concern.
My
biggest problem is with all system of revelation, be they concerning
Divine revelation or scientific, is that they tend to take one small
discovery and make something universal out of it. Every little
insight is seen as revolutionizing everything; all that has come
before is thrown out in deference to the new paradigm. I’ll
come back to this at some point, as examples are everywhere. But
let’s stick with Gnosticism, and our Modern World. The most
important and relevant from Gnosticism, for us, is that Yaldaboath is
also known as Yahweh, or Jehovah – the Jewish god and the god of
Old Testament Christianity.
So
that for the Gnostics, the Jews and the mainstream (as they came to
be – also known for the most part as the Catholics) were
worshipping a demon, the evil creator of this world, who is also
known as the Demiurge. There are also sects of Gnostics, and
even Christians (the Valentinians) who believe that the Demiurge was
not so much a devil as a lower god who was just responsible for
building the material world, and that Platonic concept is where the
word “demiurge” actually comes from. So that when we,
following Serrano and others, use the word Demiurge as meaning a
devil, we’re actually smearing some concepts together. But I
do it sometimes as a shorthand reference, because we have to go
places beyond the reach of the enemy’s language that we’re for
the most part, stuck with these days.
I
try to avoid the error of thinking that because I now think I know
what’s gone wrong in the last three thousand years or so, and then
again in the last three hundred or so, that I understand not only all
of world history, but that of the Universe. There are all sorts
of such systems out there, for those of you who like and need such
complete metaphysical systems. I think Tolkien’s (from the
Silmarillion) and Serrano’s (from Hitler: The Ultimate Avatar) are
as good as any. I think it’s pretty clear, from my own Gnosis
and the evidence of others, that we all flow, by some source, from
the Divine. From the One. But that’s way too far up the
scale, as I’ve discussed, to be of any use to us.
And
I don’t pretend to know what’s happened along the way. I
don’t know about aliens, or the true history of Aryan civilization
in the pre-historic past, although I have my ideas about all those
things and am fascinated by them. I think there’s so much
more about the history of this planet that has been lost to us, than
we can ever hope to know.
But
I do have some awareness of metahuman presences and some perceptions
of their influences on us and our more recent history. As
Serrano points out, Jung seemed to know everything but didn’t
reveal it all because he valued his life, his career and his legacy a
bit more than the truth, and therefore from understandable and
forgivable human ego, we are deprived of a bit of the truth. But
Jung knew and Serrano certain tells us, about the metahumans, which
he calls Archetypes. I usually avoid that term because it tends to
invoke the human, existentialist view – which is also the view,
unfortunately, of the Left Hand, as I have noted – the view from
the wrong end of the telescope – that Archetypes somehow come from
humans, that they are concepts, which could not be further from the
truth. Ontologically speaking, the metahumans are bigger, more
real, that we are. Jehovah is one of these, although I believe
him to be (obviously unprovably, as I’ll admit) from outside of our
world. Wotan is another, and he is our archetype, who does not
come from us, but before us. We are his, not vice versa.
I
think Jung knew who Wotan really was. His famous “Wotan” essay
can be read as a metaphor, but I think that’s a mistake. Wotan is
the overbeing, the Allfather of the Germanic peoples – who are the
remaining expression of the Aryans. Again, I don’t know where
the Aryans come from. The “Aryan” in our blood, we
diminished humans, could have come in a seed from another galaxy. I
actually am drawn to parts of Blavatsky’s original Theosophy, as
was Von List, the concept of the root races, and of the descent into
materiality. But I am convinced that in recent prehistory, we
were all over this world, not just in Europe, and if we knew what the
Tibetans and the genuine lost Native Americans can’t tell us, we’d
know much more.
But
Wotan is our god. I tend to default to the Germanic rather than the
Scandinavian because it was obviously bigger, although less
well-preserved (thanks mostly to our “friends” the Christians).
He is our Archetype, our metahuman. The one to whom we
most properly pray or whom we invoke. (I’m not denigrating the
other Norse gods here, OK? They are also perfectly good aspects of
the Archetype and may be much more appropriate than Wotan himself in
any given situation, or for any particular person. I’m just
saying that on the scale I’m on right here, to consider Wotan is
enough).
Before
three thousand years ago, all sort of civilizations rose and fell,
and we know less about them than we usually think we do. I
think there were metahumans, archetypes, gods and demons we’ll
never know. But sometime around in there, it is apparent that a
demon, who can be seen as Yaldaboath, appeared, manifested on this
earth, and attached himself to a tribe of people who were probably a
lot like a lot of other tribes, worshipping several gods and
acknowledging the gods of the peoples around them. And he
assumed the identity of the god Yahweh, or Jehovah. And he
possessed them. And those people became known as the Hebrews, and he
fed upon them, used them and his ego swelled. He made them his
chosen people and gave them dominion over what he could. But like
Morgoth or his successor Sauron, the ego of Yahweh could not be
satisfied. He wanted everything, and he still does. He wants it
all, in a way that can never be satisfied because even if his hunger
should consume the earth itself, which it threatens to do, he could
not be satisfied.
Yahweh
manifested himself in one way for the Jews. He taught them they
were special, and to hate and despise all others, that the other
peoples of the earth were but cattle. He taught them that
the earth was base and merely to be used for their enjoyment, and to
despoil. And he decided to give them dominion over all the
earth, which effort continues to this day.
He
manifested his Disease, his rot, in many forms. With the Pico
family in Rome he made Christianity in the form we knew it, borrowing
bits of truth and inner knowledge from true paths, from the nobler
traditions of other gods, who were brothers and sisters and cousins
of Wotan, or aspects of Wotan himself. He packaged this disease
as the first spiritual, metaphysical bio-weapon and he unleashed it
upon Europe. Then came the wars of the early first millennium
C.E. and the centuries of darkness, or so we thought. The
Disease wiped out so much of our true knowledge our mundane knowledge
or our heritage, that bits of it can only be known through individual
gnosis, which is almost always distorted. Gnosis like that of
Blavatsky or von List or Tolkien or Savitri Devi, of Miguel Serrano.
And that of Serrano’s and Devi’s Avatar, Adolf Hitler.
Probably
nothing could alienate me further and faster from the mainstream than
mentioning Esoteric Hitlerism, but I must. I do agree with
Jung, and with Serrano and Devi and their followers since, that
Hitler and National Socialist Germany were an important manifestation
of Wotan in ours and our fathers’ times. As Jung (surely the
most widely read of these) points out, Wotan seemed to have been
asleep. He began to wake – out of need, like the story told
of Barbarossa in his mountain hideaway? at the end of the nineteenth
century. He woke Von List, and he appeared to – and I will say,
possessed, Adolf Hitler following that fateful performance of Rienzi,
as related by August Kubizek. And we know how that story played
out, I think it was Kerry Bolton’s essay about Jung’s Wotan
essay, that made me realize clearly that WWII was the culmination of
a war between Yahweh and Wotan – and that Yahweh won. WWII
was an attack by the people of Yahweh, who had recently come into
control in the US and in Russian, upon the latest and ultimate –
penultimate – rising of the people of Wotan – of Wotan himself!
But
I also think that I had earlier shared the mistake with many, of
seeing the obviously world-shaking and attention-grabbing (from a
historical perspective) phenomena of the wars of the Twentieth
Century, as being the mainstream of the flow of world history.
Whereas, upon calmer reflection, it came to me that the
eruption of Wotan in Twentieth Century Germany was not the Final
Battle. It was, in some way, a side-show. But that great
war, that massive confrontation, was in some ways doomed to fail,
from the perspective of Wotan and certainly of the Germans. It was in
many ways
forced
by
the forces of Yahweh, in the form of the International Jew, in the
same way that they forced Japan to attack the US Navy at Pearl
Harbor. As necessary as that fight was, for the souls of the
people of Germany and of ours, there is absolutely no way Germany
alone could have materially
defeated
the combined forces of America and Russia (Churchill, whom I had at
one point thought the source of the problem, being himself a tool and
a foolish one at that). Hitler’s Germany fought and lost so
that Wotan could be alive in us today and accessible.
To
me, it appears that the real conflict, the real transition and the
last fair
fight
between Wotan (or Woden, in this case) and Yahweh probably took place
in England, and no later than the era of the Cromwell. And the
victory of Yahweh, of the Jew in dominion of Europe and America, was
cemented by the Rothschilds and the birth of the America Empire which
was final by 1865, and the era of Disraeli. All under the naive
eyes of the admirable but innocent Victorians, which is I think why I
recently went through a phase of obsession with that era.
But
where does that leave us today? This essay is too long already. There
is much I have not discussed which needs airing out. Not to
mention editing.
There
is among us, I think, another arising of Wotan. I have lately
found myself quite devoted to him. It may be true that in the
big picture, life on earth may not survive. The earth herself
may not survive. Or it may be as many have said, that mankind is a
cancer upon the earth – that we are a parasite that is killing its
host. This would be the perspective of the Black Pill. Which
could lead us to despair. But I think this would be wrong.
If
all that is, flows from the One, as it must – then all that is, all
that manifests, is a manifestation of the One. The World is
such a manifestation as is the Aryan, as is the Jew. As is the
healthy body, and as is cancer. Life without death, as has been
pointed elsewhere, would be hell, inconceivable agony. So that
when the body dies, the One remains, and other bodies flow from it.
If cancer kills the body – if the Jew eliminates the Ayan –
another body will arise elsewhere, although the spirit of the first
body may never know.
It
really does appear that our world is doomed, ecologically and
politically. I am truly Black Pilled to that extent, that I
cannot see from my human perspective, in my lifetime or any time
briefly thereafter, a way out of this mess. But thankfully for
the Universe, I am not all-wise. And I believe that if Aryan
man is eliminated from the World, it will be from a world that for
us, would not have been worth living in, anyway. But maybe
that’s a tautology of sorts, and I don’t know what a
Chinese-dominated world would be like (which would be the most likely
possibility for any survival of civilization, I think).
But
I also know that even without man at all, the earth might survive –
might survive better, and give birth at some point to some other
worthwhile form of life. Or be infested, perhaps again, by one. Or
perhaps not. Or perhaps something better, more interesting, might
happen in some other part of the universe. Who knows? I won’t.
The Source of All is All.
But
meanwhile as I sit here, I know that Wotan is in my soul and in the
soul of others. He is above us and he lives. And it is
not my job to preserve the Universe, or to perform any of those other
functions I have assigned to the One from Whom All Flows. And
it’s not Wotan’s either. Wotan is not the All-Father of the
Universe, regardless of what our myth says, which is an allegory
about our people. He is the All-Father of the Aryan race, of
Aryan man. It is he who has inspired us to build this
civilization, build it in struggle against the Demiurge, against
Yahweh. And although that civilization has ever been tainted by
Yahweh, in the way that Tolkien’s forests were blighted by the
corruption of Morgoth and Sauron, it has ever manifested our spark,
the Wotanic spark, which is from our perspective the Divine Spark.
And it is our duty to preserve that spark, as best we can, and
with our last breath.
Such
is the true meaning and expression of our existence. Hail Wotan,
fight for Wotan! Do your part and the Universe will take care
of itself. As Jack Kerouac said, the Universe takes care
of its own evil.
Our
duty is to live.
