"Abraxas is activity; nothing can resist him but the unreal, and thus his active being freely unfolds. The unreal is not, and therefore cannot truly resist." - Carl Jung, "Seven Sermons to the Dead"
The fundamental mechanism, the fundamental foundation by which this matrix we inhabit functions to keep us enslaved and constrained, exists neither as external constraints nor legalities; these things exist merely as complementary forms of enslavement to strengthen the effect. The fundamental mechanism which is used to enslave man is his acceptance of the illusion of external boundaries which he believes to be real and natural.
There are two categories of this. The first is of the ignorant person who sees barriers as natural and not threatening and engages with the system, following all the procedures and exchanging his life for enslavement . This person is a slave because he fails to recognise that the boundaries are illusory and have no power in themselves and that they are malign. The second person in this category is the person which is aware of the malign antagonistic elements of the system which are destructive, and thus assumes an antagonistic role towards these external barriers which he perceives as real. Many people are aware of the first example fitting the criteria of being enslaved, but what they fail to realize is that by falsely perceiving the antagonistic qualities of the system as being powerful in themselves and engaging in an antagonistic relationship with the system, they have also accepted the illusion that there exist powerful external boundaries as truth and thus, they are equally enslaved.
So then, how is one able to transcend the system and exist freely without constraint?
In the both situations, there is a commonality which defines the enslavement. 1. They both accept the illusion that the malign force or system has power in itself and by doing this they legitimate these barriers as real and 2. they both react to the malign structure which only serves to affirm it and allows it to continue to exist as powerful. This is the paradox of reactivity. This reactive thought pattern generally is so ingrained into the mind that it extend well being conscious thought deep into the recesses of the unconscious. Because of this, many people who believe themselves to be free of the system are actually deceived because their thoughts and manifested behaviour still exist with an unconscious desire to find solutions through reaction. Those who look to react to the system in order to destroy it are only allowing it to become more powerful. Instead, in order to bring about actual transformation an entirely new paradigm of change through Pro-Action must be utilised. Instead of reacting to the system, by completely disengaging and relying on the principles of emergence and self sufficiency, an entirely new way of living can come into existence which not only transcends the system but empowers the individual to exist freely through their actions. This is Abraxi, the state of being where action and existence are one; and freedom exists as an expression of living proactively, being dependent upon nothing, and acknowledging that the meaning of life is in the action of living itself.

ReplyDeletei need to know more
ReplyDelete"As a man thinks, so is he." Living in the system but not being a part of it does indeed begin with the belief that one is not part of it. Good post, very well put.
ReplyDeleteDo what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Abraxi until today, but according to your definition, Abraxi and the way of the Thelemite are true to the same Law.
Thanks for your post.
Love is the law, love under will.
