ONA - Otonen: A Guide to the Stage of Initiate [1 eBook - PDF]

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheOccult.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of everything Esoteric



The aim of the present work is to outline some of the specific tasks facing a new Initiate. Throughout these tasks, and their completion, genuine initiation takes place. k noted in these MSS, genuine initiation is not simply the product of a single ritual - but rather an expansion of consciousness that occurs over a period of time along the chosen path (in this case the Seven-Fold Sinister Way). Otonen is intended to further explicate the tradition as previously laid out in Naos, Hostia I - III, Sacramentum Sinistrum, and The Deofel Quartet.

Along with various instructional texts herein are also included various insights a few initiates of the Sinister Way have met. It must be noted, and understood before further reading, that the insights of each ini tiate is his or her own, and arise from the unique circumstances of each person's psyche. Therefore, it should be understood that the accounts contained herein by the initiates of the Sinister Way, should in no way dic tate or influence the workings of future initiates. k each new initiate of our path experiences the Septenary Spheres, and the pathways which link them, there should be no hesitation in letting the whatever visions come and go as they will. An initiate might feel, since reading the accounts of fellow initiates, that their experi ences are "too different". One should not take into account, in their own self-development, what others have written of theirs. If one let others' experiences in these rites dictate their own, they would sacrifice the effec­tiveness of the workings, proscribing to a pre-defined set of occurrences which simply should not and do not

exist. Though the accounts of others may prove useful in understanding the Sinister Way, and the process of Initiation.

The Sinister Way is an individual way, a means whereby an individual may become more and achieve more than would otherwise be possible - in means of self-awareness, balance, and external achievement. What is of fundamental importance during the stage of Initiate, and henceforth, is brutal self-honesty. Without this, there is little progress.
