THEM, is a formation of six black magicians who represent an Australian contribution to Satanism. Formed in 2003 by a small group of Initiates trained in the exoteric and esoteric systems of the Order of Nine Angles (ONA), and a range of other black magical occult systems, it operates an online nexion called Mvimaedivm to communicate its unique methodology and black magical principles.

THEM's primary collective goal is to presence the Dark Gods via a physical Australian Nexion, and implement a number of magical goals to effect certain global changes, all planned in a long-term strategic assault designed to give young Australia - a significant Sinister History.

In its short lifetime, THEM and its Initiates have managed to catapult Australia to the forefront of Satanic and Occult consciousness as a serious contender amongst the already well-established Satanic communities and groups;

Well I am not a Laveyan Satanist nor have I read his books, but I do pick up a lot word-of-mouth...I should really set out to read these.

*We don’t presume to answer that for anyone but ourselves. He is still relevant to THEM in certain context as in his many forms illustrates a variety of useful and constructive lessons – esp where form and change, are concerned. And that is what THEM are mainly concerned with: Change.

Australia ... Oz and Beyond

“Oz”, oddly enough, is the name some Australians attach to their country. It is here that the band flees, to a settlement deep in the blisteringly-hot Australian Outback. Over fifteen hundred people have formed a settlement that is nearly totally self-sufficient. Weather control, lakes, forests, mountains, underground agriculture, and huge machines all serve to support this community.

U.S. government agents eventually discover the settlement and launch an attack to recover the extrasensory technology for Cold War use. The children of the settlement construct a telepathic shield around the colony, and they escape into space in the “edge of your seat” climax.

Exactly what happened then is not clear; whether Pelsart took some of the party and sailed back to get help, or whether Cornelius held his mutiny on land and drove out Pelsart and those loyal to him. In any case Cornelius ended up in control. He killed some 40 of the men to save water supplies, took over all of the women for himself and his followers, and held a brief reign that was a succession of drunken orgies. He also killed several more of the men on suspicion of disloyalty to him, including the two ship’s carpenters, and was thus unable to carry out his plan of salvaging material from the wrecks, building another ship, and becoming a pirate. When Captain Pelsart and his men unexpectedly returned, Cornelius was overthrown and was summarily tried and hanged.

Dimitri, the focus has changed, that's all that matters.

I am not a lunatic and I have nothing for sale.

I feel my former works deserve a place in the world - I have used other sites and places previously and find wordpress easy and organized - and my works speak for themselves.

As you stated "rarely am tempted to associate with the authors or invest time and effort into studying their writings in depth."
Since you admit to not studying or reading anything, why the hell should Khk respond to you in-depth.

Khk in my opinion has never been one to stir shit, and he's not a pompous ass.

Oh but I find the idea of someone changing themselves by wearing a dress and waving their little wand while invoking Picachu also a bit absurd.

They change themselves as much as upgrading a character in second life affects a personality in reality.

If you think only soldiers, statesmen and scientists change the world, you got a lot to learn grasshopper.

I read a lot of woolly ideas but what interests me more is the meat between the potatoes. Let’s talk practical. What am I supposed to imagine with all this personal GBM transcendence? Is it like invoking the great Friedrich who whispers that good and evil are nothing but perspective et voila you’re beyond it? Or is there actually something involving real life experience to it?

If not, it is an as RHP approach as the yogi reaching enlightenment by reciting “Obi Wan Kenobi” 30 times a minute for 3 years. Contrary to what most seem to think, it’s not imagining Jesus that makes someone walk the RHP; it’s living life by simulation what does and to be honest, a large part of what is called GBM out there is nothing but exactly that; a comfort zone simulation.

Now about changing the world. Change is driven by culture and culture can be affected by anyone smart enough to know how to either affect or corrupt it.

Let's say it pisses you off that you panic in an airplane. You decide that you want to master that situation. You conclude that you need to actualize the Subjective potential of rational serenity. You perform ritual magic to bring about this actualization, perhaps incorporating as a sigil the "x bar" symbol from statistics, since statistics are what you are trusting when you sit your ass down in an airplane. You then book yourself on a flight and do your best to maintain rational serenity, calling to mind as needed your experience of having done the ritual magic.

(1) In my reply, I was referring to the conversation STARTED by someone else about lunatics using wordpress wherein it was implied that anyone who used wordpress was a lunatic and to which I replied I was not.

And Diavolo is right - it's none of your goddamn business why the Temple changed - and I have every right to 'evade' what is none of your goddamn business.

(4) Now I have this other jack-off who also fails to process basic grammar and jumps to conclusions about the context of the first inane comment, thus making it even more inane - on the pretext that I deserve these stupid questions about wordpress, accusations of being a lunatic, and idiots who can't seperate conversational context into appropriate time-frames.

Then taz implied that I must be a lunatic because I started the conversation about lunatics using wordpress

The second question - because I'm going to skip taz's roadkill

and idiots who can't seperate conversational context into appropriate time-frames.

Better read again, the part about lunatics wasn't addressed to you personally. I only wandered why you still used it since ANYONE on it can start spreading nonsense, and that (IMO) a stand alone site gives much more credibility if you want to be taken seriously.

It is because of the fact that everyone is different that i was able to create my own personal philosophy and system of magic which is supposed to be the perpose of INDIVIDUATION spoken about with the ona articles.

and I have every right to 'evade' what is none of your goddamn business.

Dimitri, I gave you what I thought was an informed reply to your question about the Temple – but you then accused me of evasion. To that end – I repeat – I tried to be forth-coming but really it is none of your goddamn business why THEM made the changes it did.

I would rather be alone than be pressured to believe what others believe or sacrifice my individuality within a group setting.

Has no-one else ever noticed that the cries of war are heavily laden with demands of obedience, control, loyalty, honour, family? That it’s okay to be sent to destroy and strive to be unlimited in power as befitting of a dark master – so long as we don’t destroy those who set us on the path? “Bring Chaos!” many of them demanded of me – “hey wait, not actual chaos!”, they all whispered.sooner or later.

Your reply is naturally biased, Myatt.

Would the [...] scum be so nice to get their heads out of their asses and start reading the site-rules (especially when it comes to uneeded posts who don't add any depth)?

Yeah Dimitri! What sort of depth does your little outburst add to the topic at hand? I seem to detect a lame attempt to earn brownie point in hope to get the coveted blue name tag? BTW you spelled "uneeded[sic]" wrong buddy.

Thus, if you read my first multi-lined post, you will see that I merely explained a few things to him in a POLITE manner - as opposed to acting like a bad ass internet jocky refering to people as "scum."

As for you Ceberia/Dimitri; I cannot say the same for you. I have been casually watching you for the past 2 years. I remember a time when you were immature and cocky; and during the passing of 2 years you remain unchanged - unlike Khk. Your personality and method of treating other people have not changed. I can tell as you frequent many, many Satanic forums.

You seem to have a certain tone of animosity for the ONA in your outburst Ceberia. But yet in such retarded sites as "the International Council of Satanists," I often see you getting into senseless debates the mentally crippled and calling them "Mundanes." Perhaps you behave in such ways in other forums with people who are clearly retarded to feel mentally superior because it seems as though some people here treat you in the same way?

Anyways. You should not use such generalizations next time and try to be more specific. "ONA scum" really does not specifically point out which one of us in this thread you reprimanding does it? None of my posts here (98%) are one liners.

And that when people claim to desire the presence of certain energies – and those energies present themselves – it turns out they actually meant something else…
Which – is what I’ve been trying to warn those asking for them of, all along. So many groups have urged me to go out and wreak unearthly destruction, rain death and disaster down upon the world and its inhabitants – and I have, rampaged, for years – but when I finally get to their door, the fuckers act surprised to see me!

I once pained over my destructive energy; watched it burn castles and drawbridges with its raging inferno; felt guilt for what I was and what I did. I anguished and lamented at my own nature to destroy everything it touched.

I’m free now though. Free.

I have now Chosen not to be ashamed of my destructive power; to finally embrace My power and revel in the fullness of My nuclear intensity and My will to power. I now see what I didn’t see. What they all saw, and feared. Me, Free.
