postmodern Satanism

Opening the Third EyeA meditation/visualization techniqueIn order to prepare the mind for the journeys through theInner space which will become a vital part of the magickal practice ofthe Satanic psychonaut, a method for accessing the interpenetratingrealms must be developed. That these states of consciousness areeverywhere present yet blocked or cordoned off by the brain is thefirst thing to understand. Anyone who has studied the pharmacologyand neural impact of psychotropic substances will be aware of thisalready. Many of these “drugs” do nothing more than remove inbuiltrestrictions on neuron firing, i.e. they open the mind to a wider arenaof manifestation than is normally allowed. In fact, one of the mostpotent of such substances: dimethyltryptamine (DMT), is present inthe human brain naturally. Further, the chemical compositions of“hallucinogenic drugs” and “brain neurotransmitters” are difficult todistinguish, as both sets of compounds rely on nearly identicalstructural symmetries. In other words, “ordinary consciousness” is infact a psychedelic trip, though we have become dulled to it’sbrilliance/novelty.We can consider the brain as being analogous to an AM/FMradio with the tuning knob broken off. Or a television set with thechannel buttons pried out. That is, there is a natural preference for aparticular “station” or tuning frequency, even though others are notonly permitted, but accessible through what might be termedbackdoor methods. Some of these methods are well known: theaforementioned “drugs,” fasting, sleep deprivation, excessive physicalexertion, etc. And some are not so understood: near deathexperience, “ghosting” phenomena, true psychosis, so-calledreincarnation, and even autism. Granted, it almost becomes clearupon examination why the evolutionary brain has built a barrier tosuch mind-states, as they invariably interfere with the ability of thebiological organism to survive and propagate - this is the secondthing to understand.The most basic misunderstanding of meditation to bedispelled is that it is a vehicle for emptying or clearing conscious
