The term 'Or She-ein bo Mahshavah' <strong>is</strong> from <strong>the</strong> teachings <strong>of</strong> Nath<strong>an</strong> <strong>of</strong> Gaza, but <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>an</strong>dconcept <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> c<strong>an</strong> be found within m<strong>an</strong>y o<strong>the</strong>r esoteric teachings <strong>an</strong>d dark traditions.Gerschom Scholem has written: "The thoughtless lights (<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>), build structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own,Demonic worlds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kelippot whose sole intent <strong>is</strong> to destroy what <strong>the</strong> thoughtful light (ie. TheWhite or Right <strong>Light</strong>) has wrought. These forces are called 'Serpents (Dragons) dwelling in <strong>the</strong>great Abyss'. The Sat<strong>an</strong>ic Powers, called in Zohar 'Sitra Ahra', are none o<strong>the</strong>r th<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong> sin<strong>is</strong>ter (left)side <strong>of</strong> Ein-s<strong>of</strong> itself."Noore Siyahe Ahrimän, <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> same concept as <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, within <strong>the</strong> Persi<strong>an</strong> system <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong>be found within all <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic forms <strong>of</strong> esoteric<strong>is</strong>m.One c<strong>an</strong> also recognize <strong>the</strong>se kinds <strong>of</strong> ideas in some forms <strong>of</strong> Gnostic<strong>is</strong>m, as in <strong>the</strong> traditions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Luciferi<strong>an</strong>s, Ophites <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Cainites. Out <strong>of</strong> The Pleroma comes <strong>the</strong> fallen impulse which restricts<strong>the</strong> fullness <strong>of</strong> The Divine Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d Alien God/Goddess. But out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same source comesalso <strong>the</strong> em<strong>an</strong>ations that are <strong>an</strong>ti-demiurgic in essence <strong>an</strong>d have as <strong>the</strong>ir aim to return <strong>the</strong> stolensparks <strong>of</strong> Pneuma (for us 'The <strong>Black</strong> Flames') back to <strong>the</strong> Acausal <strong>an</strong>d P<strong>an</strong>dimesional realm <strong>of</strong> TheDark Divine. These forces that work against <strong>the</strong> illusory forms <strong>an</strong>d laws <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cosmic creation actas a 'Sat<strong>an</strong>' against <strong>the</strong> Demiurge <strong>an</strong>d h<strong>is</strong> Archons, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>y bring <strong>the</strong> forbidden <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>True God, to those few who have ears to hear with <strong>an</strong>d eyes to see <strong>the</strong> truth that <strong>the</strong>y reveal.From <strong>the</strong> cosmic perspective <strong>the</strong>se <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic forces are demonic <strong>an</strong>d evil, but <strong>the</strong> Truth <strong>is</strong> that<strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong> Angels <strong>of</strong> The Left <strong>Light</strong>/<strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>of</strong> The Unknown God.In T<strong>an</strong>tr<strong>is</strong>m, Samhara Rakta Kali <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong> who acts as The LeftEm<strong>an</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> Parashakti (The Tr<strong>an</strong>scendent Power) that returns everything back to <strong>the</strong> womb <strong>of</strong>The Dark Mo<strong>the</strong>r.But in Kliffotic Kabbala (The Kabbala <strong>of</strong> Sat<strong>an</strong>) one always follows <strong>the</strong> path <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>through <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra, for to climb <strong>the</strong> 'tree <strong>of</strong> life' will not open <strong>the</strong> gates to that which <strong>is</strong> Beyond.Th<strong>is</strong> 'tree' functions to separate itself from that Ur-Kaos <strong>of</strong> The Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested in order to m<strong>an</strong>ifest,whereas <strong>the</strong> function <strong>of</strong> The Tree <strong>of</strong> Daath/Death <strong>is</strong> to bring All back to that Acausal Primal Sourcewhich we strive to become as one with. The Ego seeks separation in th<strong>is</strong> demiurgic fashion, but TheSelf or The <strong>Black</strong> Flame/Pneuma seeks <strong>the</strong> P<strong>an</strong>dimensional/Acausal state <strong>of</strong> All-potential beyond<strong>the</strong> restrictions <strong>an</strong>d laws <strong>of</strong> cosmos/matter/causality.These ideas are <strong>the</strong> reason why we have two names to describe our tradition <strong>of</strong>Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m/Luciferi<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m. One <strong>is</strong> 'Anti-Cosmic Sat<strong>an</strong><strong>is</strong>m' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>is</strong> 'Chaos-Gnostic<strong>is</strong>m/Chaosophy'.
