Myatt And The Longusian Tradition

Another Moral Dilemma?

A relevant question regarding the Longusian tradition {1} was recently posed on a 'social media' platform. It
references the term 'Frankensteinian monster' used in a recent article we published titled Birth Of A Frankensteinian
Monster. {2} The question posed was:

If we hypothetically conjecture - as many do and have done over the decades - that the original 'Anton Long' was Mr
David Myatt then the 'specific purpose' referred to in the posting would be "a political and neo-nazi honeytrap to
advance the cause of National Socialism" as described by Myatt in his autobiography Myngath {3} whose first part is
aptly titled Apologia.

The monster was therefore an extension of Myatt's extremism as manifest in his thirty years as a neo-nazi activist and
theorist {4} and, in the aughts, his support for the Taliban as expressed in writings such as his The Significance Of The
Taliban For The Muslim Ummah, a copy of which was found in the possession of Osama bin Laden and which copy is
now in the CIA Abbottabad Compound archive. {5}

Myatt's regret for his decades of extremism is contained in many of his post-2012 writings, {6} in what he has termed
his expiative philosophy of pathei-mathos, {7} in his 2010 essay A Change of Perspective, {8} and in recent
autobiographical prose. {9}

Is the regret for such extremism and its consequences, as expressed in such post-2012 writings, sufficient? Apparently
many if not most of his political enemies do not believe so. Are the various issues of his current health, as intimated in
his recent missive Verba Volant Scripta Manent? {10} sufficient in expiation? Again, many if not most of his political
enemies, with their certitude of ideological, political and personal vindictiveness, will doubtless not believe so.

For such ideological, political and personal vindictiveness is still, unfortunately, the dominating ethos of our societies
despite all the Establishment and commercial propaganda to the contrary.

As Myatt wrote in his A Change of Perspective,

"to paraphrase TS Eliot, here I am now, in the middle way I have devised for myself, having had many years,
often wasted, the years between two wars within myself, "trying to use words, and every attempt Is a wholly
new start, and a different kind of failure." {8}

A Modern Occult Extremism:

Birth Of A Frankensteinian Monster

The particular extremism under examination was originally designed in the 1970s as a political and neo-nazi honeytrap
to advance the cause of National Socialism. It later - then designated by the appellation 'order of nine angles' (ONA,
O9A) - morphed into a modern individual way, taught covertly by Adepts to initiates, of a hermetic quest through seven
stages (spheres) as described in the Poemandres tractate. Over the next few decades it again morphed, into an Occult
extremism by virtue of its antinomian support of National Socialism and Satanism and (i) because of its nihilistic
principle of the authority of individual judgment and (ii) because its early writings, mostly by a writer or writers using
the nom de guerre Anton Long, became widely and publicly available by means of the Internet.

As for extremism it has been variously defined, for example restrictively and politically as "the advocacy of a system of
belief that claims the superiority and dominance of one identity-based 'in-group' over all out-groups", {1} and more
generally by a former extremist with four decades of practical experience as the principles and characteristics that
promote and incite harsh actions and harsh consequences by individuals and by groups, with harsh being "rough,
severe, a tendency to be unfeeling, unempathic". {2}

This Occult extremism became more publicly prominent post-2008 through various individuals and groups who, mostly
via the medium of the Internet, self-declared as adherents of the O9A and openly described themselves as 'evil',
immoral, and 'authentic' Satanists. It became notorious worldwide post-2018 through the vile propaganda of the self-
declared America chapter (nexion) calling itself the Tempel ov Blood and through its publishing venture Martinet Press
both founded and run by a paid FBI informer who would play a role in infiltrating the neo-nazi group AtomWaffen and
entrapping US soldier Ethan Melzer who also self-declared as O9A and who in 2023 was sentenced to 45 years
imprisonment having been found guilty of several terrorism offences. {3}

These self-declarations and the promotion by self-declared adherents of extremism, of neo-nazism and of terrorism
were natural consequence of the O9A nihilistic principle of the authority of individual judgment, with no internal
authority, no leader and no officials, to declare such things as deviations or as heretical.

In summary, as soon as the O9A transitioned from a modern hermetic way taught covertly by an Adept to an initiate
into the public domain by means of the Internet it was fated to decline and fall and be used by the Establishment and
their mass media as an example of extremism and of terrorism. This occurred and persists to this day despite the
attempts by some of its adepts to counter such extremism by insisting the O9A had moral boundaries based on
personal and kindred honor. {4}

These were futile attempts for two basic reasons. First, given the principle of the authority of individual judgment and
the leaderless nature of the O9A, because the views and interpretations of those Adepts were just their views and
interpretations and possessed no authority whatsoever. Second, because the original 'Anton Long' did not and indeed
could not make any public announcements given that principle of the authority of individual judgment and such
historical statements by that 'Anton Long' as the following:

"I claim no authority, and my creations, profuse as they are, will in the end be accepted or rejected on the
basis of whether they work […] I also expect to see them become transformed, by their own metamorphosis
and that due to other individuals: changed, extended and probably ultimately transcended, may be even
forgotten. They – like the individual I am at the moment – are only a stage, toward something else." {5}

"Each individual develops their own unique perspective and insight as a consequence of striving to achieve
Adeptship – a perspective and insight which derives mainly from practical experience, both magickal and
personal." {6}

To conclude, the O9A was a Frankensteinian monster, a failed heretical experiment, with its demise and death
inevitable and necessary.

The Question Of David Myatt And Expiation

One of the central themes of David Myatt's extensive post-2012 writings is expiation; of finding some means by which
the mistakes of his past, of his forty or so years of political and religious extremism, may be offset or recompensed.
Myatt, in his 2013 text Religion, Empathy, and Pathei-Mathos: Spirituality, Humility, and A Learning From Grief, {1}
devotes a whole chapter to expiation and his concerns, writing that:

One of the many problems regarding my own past which troubles me - and has troubled me for a while - is
how can a person make reparation for suffering caused, inflicted, and/or dishonourable deeds done. For, in
the person of empathy, of compassion, of honour, a knowledge and understanding of dishonour done, of the
suffering one has caused - perhaps before one became such a person of compassion, honour, and empathy -
is almost invariably the genesis of strong personal feelings such as remorse, grief, and sorrow [...]

One of the many benefits of an organized theistic religion, such as Christianity or Islam or Judaism, is that
mechanisms of personal expiation exist whereby such feelings can be placed in context and expiated by
appeals to the supreme deity. In Judaism, there is Teshuvah culminating in Yom Kippur, the day of
expiation/reconciliation. In Catholicism, there is the sacrament of confession and penance. In Islam, there is
personal dua to, and reliance on, Allah Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem, As-Salaam.

Even pagan religions and ways had mechanisms of personal expiation for wrong deeds done, often in the
form of propitiation; the offering of a sacrifice, perhaps, or compensation by the giving or the leaving of a
valuable gift or votive offering at some numinous - some sacred and venerated - place or site [...]

All such religious mechanisms of expiation, whatever the theology and regardless of the motivation of the
individual in seeking such expiation, are or can be cathartic; restorative, healing. But if there is no personal
belief in either a supreme deity or in deities, how then to numinously make reparation, propitiation, and thus
to not only expiate such feelings as remorse, grief, and sorrow but also and importantly offset the damage
one's wrong actions have caused, since by their very nature such suffering-causing actions are ὕβρις and not
only result in harm, in people suffering, but also upset the natural balance. In truth, I do not know the answer
to the question how to so numinously make reparation, propitiation. I can only conject, surmise [...]

In relation to his own beliefs, or lack of them, the important section is:

"if there is no personal belief in either a supreme deity or in deities, how then to numinously make
reparation, propitiation, and thus to not only expiate such feelings as remorse, grief, and sorrow but also and
importantly offset the damage one's wrong actions have caused." {1}

The answer he apparently settles on is to write about his past, about his regrets, about his decades of extremism; and
how he came to reject such extremism, political and religious; with his philosophy of pathei-mathos being, for him,
expiative:

"In a very personal sense, my philosophy of pathei-mathos is expiative, as are my writings concerning
extremism, such as my Understanding and Rejecting Extremism: A Very Strange Peregrination."  {2}

"After 2006, I increasingly felt compelled to develope [that philosophy] in expiation, in search of answers,
and in an effort to understand myself, my extremist pasts, and the suffering I finally came to realize I had
caused. {3}

Never Forgive?

Are such expiative writings by Myatt sufficient? His many political enemies do not believe so, for one or more of the
following reasons. Firstly, because of their ideological axiom "never forgive, never forget" which in practice, on the
human level, means that they are unable or unwilling to forgive him, and can be vindictive, vengeful, with hatred and
prejudice motivating their actions and their deeds.

Secondly, because their prejudice and hatred motivates many of them to believe his post-2012 writings are lies, a
deception. Thirdly, because of their zealous certitude that he, despite his denials, is Anton Long and the founder of the
occultic Order of Nine Angles (O9A, ONA) and has never publicly condemned it or its policies such as support for the
'culling' of certain humans.

In respect of such people Myatt wrote, in 2012,

"are those who in the past have prejudged me - who have written about me as a violent extremist -
accepting of individual change, of the virtues of reformation and pardonance? [...] Are they open to the
possibility of my change and reformation? Or will they continue with 'the party line' and thus continue to
insist that I am some sinister person whose recent mystical writings are just some sort of diabolical ploy?

More interestingly (perhaps) could my career as an extremist have been brought to an earlier end had one or
some of my opponents taken the trouble to get to know me personally and rationally revealed to me the
error of my suffering-causing, unethical, extremist ways? Perhaps; perhaps not - I admit I do not know. I do
know, however, how my personal interaction with, and the ethical behaviour of, the Police I interacted with
from the time of my arrest by officers from SO12 in 1998, permanently changed (for the better) my attitude
toward the Police." {4}

Two years later he would write:

 "I harbour no resentment against individuals, or organizations, or groups, who over the past forty or so years
have publicly and/or privately made negative or derogatory comments about me or published items making
claims about me. Indeed, I now find myself in the rather curious situation of not only agreeing with some of
my former political opponents on many matters, but also (perhaps) of understanding (and empathizing with)
their motivation; a situation which led and which leads me to appreciate even more just how lamentable my
extremism was and just how arrogant, selfish, wrong, and reprehensible, I as a person was, and how in many
ways many of those former opponents were and are (ex concesso) better people than I ever was or am.

Which is one reason why I have written what I have recently written about extremism and my extremist past:
so that perchance someone or some many may understand extremism, and its causes, better and thus be
able to avoid the mistakes I made, avoid causing the suffering I caused; or be able to in some way more
effectively counter or prevent such extremism in the future." {5}

In respect of founding a covert Occult group in the 1970s, Myatt's explanation has always been that his purpose was
for it to be used to aid National Socialism, and which explanation is both explicit and expressive of his extremist,
immoral and fanatical belief at the time that any means were justified in the political and revolutionary struggle he
believed in and was then fighting:

"In respect of covert action, I came to the conclusion, following some discussions with some C88 members,
that two different types of covert groups, with different strategy and tactics, might be very useful in our
struggle and thus aid us directly or aid whatever right-wing political party might serve as a cover for
introducing NS policies or which could be used to advance our cause. These covert groups would not be
paramilitary and thus would not resort to using armed force since that option was already covered, so far as I
was then concerned, by C88.

The first type of covert group would essentially be a honeytrap, to attract non-political people who might be
or who had the potential to be useful to the cause even if, or especially if, they had to be 'blackmailed' or
persuaded into doing so at some future time. The second type of covert group would be devoted to
establishing a small cadre of NS fanatics, of 'sleepers', to - when the time was right - be disruptive or
generally subversive.

Nothing came of this second idea, and the few people I recruited during 1974 for the second group, migrated
to help the first group, established the previous year. However, from the outset this first group was beset
with problems for - in retrospect - two quite simple reasons, both down to me. First, my lack of leadership
skills, and, second, the outer nature chosen for the group which was of a secret Occult group with the 'offer',
the temptation, of sexual favours from female members in a ritualized Occult setting, with some of these
female members being 'on the game' and associated with someone who was associated with my small gang
of thieves." {6}

In effect, Myatt is concatenating his founding of an Occult movement, which he does not name, with his political and
religious extremism and with his rejection of all extremism with the result, although unstated, that he apparently
considers such a manifestation of Occultism as just another extremism. Perhaps unsurprisingly this concatenation does
not satisfy his political opponents, and Myatt was asked about this in regard to his past as a neo-nazi in a 2022
interview:

RS: Yet your many vociferous politically motivated opponents have not accepted that you have rejected
extremism with many still considering you a neo-nazi. Does that bother you?

DM: No. For judging by their deeds and words they live in a different world from the one I now inhabit or
rather that I now perceive. My perceiveration is a very local and personal one; of my locality, of Nature and
its local emanations; of my relatives and friends and my interactions with and concern for them. That other
world beyond - or should that be those other worlds beyond - this local personal world no longer concern me
given my plenitude of past mistakes, my past hubriatic suffering-causing interference, and my recently
discovered Uncertitude Of Knowing.

They, those opponents, in comparison seem to have that Certitude Of Knowing that I for many decades had,
breeding as it did and does prejudice, intolerance, hatred, and discouraging as it did and does empathy,
forgiveness, and a personal Uncertitude Of Knowing. {7}

In another interview he was asked a similar question:

[T]hey claim you are still a neo-nazi; that what you write and have written since 2010 such as your
autobiography should be treated with suspicion and not taken seriously; that unless you come out in public
to attend some sort of 'media circus' and directly answer their questions, they will never believe you.

Myatt replied:

φημὶ ἐγώ, Μαθεῖν θέλω τὰ ὄντα καὶ νοῆσαι τὴν τούτων φύσιν καὶ γνῶναι τὸν θεόν·

Such a seeking to apprehend such things is what now and for the past twenty or so years has occupied me
[...]  As for what they or others claim or believe about me now and the past, it is their burden howsoever
brought-into-being, howsoever nurtured and howsoever it might be described by them or by others. {7}

It is possible, therefore, to conclude, especially given their silence about Myatt's post-2012 writings about Christianity,
that such opponents are acting in an intolerant way inconsistent with the message of the Christian gospels and what
many, including Myatt, believe is the gospel message of forgiveness.

Christianity And The Gospels

To many it seems strange that the later Myatt, manifest in his post-2012 writings, would write positively about
Christianity and especially about Catholicism, given the widespread and decades-long and often politically motivated
accusations of him being a 'satanist'. These writings include his three-part In Defence Of The Roman Catholic Church,
{8} Miserere Mei, Deus, {9} and his translation of and commentary of chapter one to five of the Gospel of John. {10}

In this respect, a section in his Understanding and Rejecting Extremism: A Very Strange Peregrination is relevant:

"I have - fully knowing my past hubris, the suffering I have caused, and aware of my manifold errors and
mistakes over four decades - a great respect for other religions and spiritual ways, and aware as I am how
they each in their own manner, express, have expressed, or are intimations of, the numinous. For instance, I
have come to appreciate, more and more over the past few years, the numinosity of the sacred music of the
Christian Church (especially Catholicism), from before Gregorian chant to composers such as Byrd, Dowland,
Lassus, to Palestrina, to Phillipe de Monte, and beyond." {11}

In his The Way Of Jesus of Nazareth he provides his interpretation of the Gospel of John:

"What emerges from my own translation – that is, from my particular 'interpretation of meaning' of
the Gospel According To John – is rather reminiscent of what individuals such as Julian of Norwich,
George Fox, and William Penn wrote and said about Jesus and the spiritual way that the Gospels in
particular revealed. This is the way of humility, of forgiveness, of love, of a personal appreciation of
the divine, of the numinous; and a spiritual, interior, way somewhat different from supra-personal
moralistic interpretations based on inflexible notions of 'sin' and thus on what is considered good
and what is considered evil." {12}

One of most recent writings expresses his feelings in regard to Christianity:

"The liturgical season of The Passion is upon us again and I find myself appreciating once more how the
numinous allegory of The Passion was presenced in liturgical music from the Graduale Christus Factus Est to
Vittoria's Popule meus, quid feci tibi – Ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, Ἅγιος ἰσχυρός, Ἅγιος ἀθάνατος, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς – to
Scarlatti's Stabat Mater to JS Bach's St John and Matthew Passions. And I reminded so movingly of – when a
monk – singing Tenebrae amid the flickering then extinguished light of candles…

So much human suffering for so many millennia which the allegory of The Passion of Jesus of Nazareth
reminded so many of, century after century; as it reminded me several times in the depths of my decades of
extremism. In comparison with such numinous music, liturgical and otherwise, what is my own wordy
weltanschauung of pathei-mathos worth? Very little it now seems to me, if anything at all." {13}

However, so far his political opponents have not commented on, or possibly not read, such writings perhaps because,
as I assume, they consider them just another part of the 'diabolical ploy', the deception, they believe and claim are his
post-2012 writings. Which silence is perhaps one more expression of their prejudice, hatred, and un-Christian attitude,
although to many unbiased readers such writings are indicative of a person who is not only remorseful but able to
understand and place his own life into a wider human perspective.

A Lingering Influence

That Myatt despite his post-writings and rejection of all extremism, political, religious, and Occult, has a lingering
influence on extremists both neo-nazi and Occult, with for example "most of his neo-nazi writings are still essential
reading in many militant far-right groups and circles" {14} may partly explain the ideological, 'hard-line', attitude of
many of his opponents.

Is such influence Myatt's fault or the fault of his opponents with their 'never forgive' attitude and their prejudicial
assumption that those post-2012 writings are a deception? Given that Myatt's post-2012 writings are voluminous and
consistent in content over a period of ten years with his philosophy of pathei-mathos also consistent with his rejection
of extremism, the logical answer would seem to be that it is such prejudicial ones, with their continual propagation of
their unfounded allegations, who are at fault.

Perhaps it will take several scholarly, unbiased, studies of those writings and that philosophy to redress the balance
although given the current state of academia where certain matters are verboten such studies may be many decades
in the future.

Verba Volant Scripta Manent?

Question: Rumours have been circulating for some time that you are to be arrested as part of a long-standing anti-
terrorist investigation. Your comments?

DM: Rumours abound in what some have termed this 'inquinatious era' we are fated to live in just as, given our human
physis, rumours abounded in former eras which lacked such impersonal mass media as, unfortunately, this era does
not lack. But if we hypothetically accept that such a rumour may have some basis in reality I will endeavour to answer
the question.

As Sophocles wrote over a thousand years ago:

     ὡς πεπρωμένης οὐκ ἔστι θνητοῖς συμφορᾶς ἀπαλλαγή

    Mortals cannot be delivered from the misfortunes of their fate [1]

To me, the question is rather academic given that I am almost at my mortal ending, burdened with various issues of
health and with what I believe I have acquired from experiences over half a century. This acquired belief is not only a
certain laissez-faire attitude but also a Cosmic Perspective which places current events, the zeitgeist and actions of
such temporal governments and institutions as now exist, into a necessary supra-personal vista of centuries and
millennia.

What may well and probably will be said, expressed, about me after such an arrest is what will be emoted in particular
moments of causal Time be such in a trial or by some individuals via some modern mass medium. But a hundred or
more years from now our world will be very different and who then will care about what some many may have said,
expressed, at some obscure moments of some causal Time about some mortal, and expressed from whatever motive,
political or personal, or because of whatever prejudice or ideological or political belief subsumed them?

According to my experience and learning what remains, what is acausally presenced, remembered, and forms part of
our enduring human culture of pathei-mathos is personal love and of how certain Arts express both the personal
suffering endured and 'the divine', the numinous, howsoever the divine is denoted or allegorized.
My hope, however misplaced, is that what I have written since 2012, as presenced in my weltanschauung of pathei-
mathos and thus in my understanding and appreciation of the numinous, the divine, will remain, if only in part.

Such understanding has led me to conclude that a personal and loyal love between two human beings is "the most
beautiful, the most numinous, the most valuable thing of all." [2]

Furthermore, from personal experience I have arrived at various conclusions, three of which are: (a) that the Gospels of
Christianity, especially the Gospel of John, presence the virtues of compassion, humility and forgiveness as expressed
in the writings of Julian of Norwich, William Penn, and George Fox; (b) that Islam, when perceived in terms of the
Cosmic Perspective, presences the numinous because it is not based on miracles attributed to God but on the life and
the deeds of a person who changed the societies of his time through the virtue of humility as often expressed in the
Sunnah and maintained through Salah with its personal prostrations of humility to Allah; and (c) that it is our human
culture of pathei-mathos which, including the above and far more allegories and artisements, provides us with a
Cosmic Perspective in which we mortals are only a very temporary presencing of life on one planet in one Galaxy in a
Cosmos of billions of Galaxies.

What, therefore, is there for me to be worried or concerned about? Is to not judge others without a personal knowing of
them to not commit fallacies such as a dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter and to allow for personal expiation,
perhaps leading one person to presence the numinous in at least one small and quite individual way?

[3] "Immeasurable origin of piety, have mercy. Banish all our faults, have mercy." Kyrie Orbis Factor.

Although the Greek phrase Κύριε ἐλέησον is considered to be a Christian doxology, deriving from the Old Testament, it
is possible that it was a common phrase in Greco-Roman culture, with origins dating back to the classical period, for it
occurs in the Discourses of Epictetus – Book II, vii, 13 – in relation to a discussion about divination, καὶ τὸν θεὸν
ἐπικαλούμενοι δεόμεθα αὐτοῦ κύριε ἐλέησον, "and in our invocations to the theos where our bidding is: Master, have
mercy."

O9A: A Difficult Learning

Positive things are apparently emerging from the anti-o9a narrative which the mass media has deluged the hoi polloi
with since 2018 based as that narrative is on Sutter's FBI paid-for black propaganda and the dupes he incited and
conned and entrapped as an FBI agent provocateur such as in AtomWaffen and in the case of Ethan Melzer. {1}{2}

It has revealed, for instance, the loss of that moral compass which once, in pre-MassMedia times, guided many
Western governments, their civil servants, their employees, their law enforcement agencies and their 'security
services'. Now those agencies and 'security services' employ black propaganda, agent provocateurs and tame
journalists to not only discredit groups and individuals they deem to be a threat but also manufacture 'enemies of the
State' since nation-States need such enemies to unite their peoples in hatred and prejudice. A recent example of such
enemies for most Western States is Russia and its current President against who they engineered and support a proxy
armed war and have imposed harsh sanctions as if to divert the attention of the hoi polloi away from the catastrophic
failure of their invasions of and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of people.

It has revealed, more importantly for we esotericists and hermeticists, three things:

1. That supra-personal engagement with the external world such as via the modern medium of the Internet is
catastrophic, and that the traditional centuries-old way of the hidden transmission of our esoteric philosophy, our
praxis of seeking of Lapis Philosophicus, from individual to individual is wisdom personified.
2. That the example of the O9A reveals the error of:

(i) the japes, deceptions, tests, and the trickery presenced by Anton Long's Labyrinthos Mythologicus;
(ii) using Occult rituals and ceremonies in general, and of using all types of sorcery;
(iii) using so-called Insight Roles;
 (iv) using the causal abstractions and dialectic involved in supporting or using for whatever reason political
forms such as National Socialism;
(v) using Satanism, however defined or presenced;
(vi) positing a goal of seeking to presence a New Aeon and of trying to change what-is - such as society or
societies - by any means including but not limited to means which are or which can classified as political,
religious, ideological, social, mythological or Occult.

3. The truth, the reality, of the Aeonic perspective with its understanding that all current abstractions and entities, from
States, governments, their laws, to their security agencies, to their narratives, will wither and die and be replaced; just
as all archetypes, every mythos and all religious, political and ideological causal forms have a limited life-span.

There has thus been a difficult learning, for a few.
