METAPHILOSOPHY: A Journal of the Practical and Spiritual Philosophy of Vedantic Nihilism by Caine Del Sol – First Edition Hardcover

Follow up to the author first book Codex Aversum.

INTRODUCTION

The wisdom of ancient Practitioners is often considered to be locked behind a gate through which only those initiated to pre-existing covens and orders may pass. Yet in the age that we exist now, the knowledge of the fabled ancients is at our fingertips, if we but know how to interpret them through many ages of reiteration and contextual bias.

This is where Vedantic Nihilism finds its true home, in the stripping away of human context, creating an inherent familiarity with the primal concept of Divinity outside of biases that would inherently restrict our understanding. As this is a living system that evolves through passing time and continued communication with the inspiring forces, there are things that will be further refined and elucidated. The structure is Fractal and the process is Alchemical, transforming the macrocosm through continued destruction and rebirth of the microcosm. Thus it is appropriate to explore other aspects of this reality and how our perceptions of their nature may change as a result of contact with the Nine Higher Order Spirits of Vedantic Nihilism.

The Path before us, by whatever name we may call it, is catalytic and wide. There is not a single aspect of our life that should remain unchanged by our Work. There is not a cell or atom in our body that should not be engulfed by the Fires of the Phoenix-Dragon at all times.

The Codex Aversum focused primarily on the Nine Stars of the Constellation of the Dragon, yet the space between these stars, and the subtle interactions of their lights, was not fully explored. This was purposeful. Groundwork must be laid before the Temple may be properly constructed. Yet of even greater importance, it is understood that the process of interaction and communication is not truly so rigid as may have been portrayed within the Codex. The way of Vedantic Nihilism is not of strict regulation or high ceremony. Though this aspect does have a place in our Work, it is not the entirety, and should not be relied upon. The information and rituals given within the Codex were presented as such in order to allow those of many varying backgrounds to open the Gates to the Other. Followers of the true Path should not restrict themselves to a rigid system of names, formulas, and titles. Consciousness and understanding should be fluid in order to traverse the psychospiritual maze of gnosis, and thus all that is taught and learned should be able to be stripped of its framework and applied successfully to any personal system of practice in order to be truly valuable. In this we can see that truly life is alive. Reality is sentient, and will continually attempt to heal the wound that was opened by our rites. Thus, as an agent of decay upon the body of Gaia, we must adapt, continually devouring and transmuting the energy of this reality towards the acausal as a spreading infection.

For this reason it was deemed appropriate to release a continuation upon the existing volume of work, compiled from journalistic notes of the Coven Heads, focusing on the darkness between these aforementioned Stars of Nine, the true nature of their interactive structure, and how their influence shapes the world. This is our philosophy – metaphysical by necessity, sinister by nature, forever pressing toward the object of our pain and terror, to accept it as a symbol of might and mastery.

The term “Metaphilosophy” is used to define a sense of metaphysical comprehension that informs all moral, philosophical, and socio-political interaction. It is the coagulated lens by which Occult Wisdom and Magickal Formulae become the standard of perception, the first recognized aspect of all things.  And thus the text has been named, reflecting content and context, as both journal of unending initiation, and philosophical treatise for the Vedantic Nihilist approach to the interactions of mind, spirit, and flesh.
