Although rebellion against authority is a vital first step toward self-liberation.It can also become an entrapment that binds us inside a childish frame of mind.

Every practitioner must come to terms with the understanding that liberation is primarily an internal state and that we are still required to function within society's norms, even as self-empowered sorcerers.

Ultimately, accepting responsibility, a required step toward sovereignty and independence, is the end of rebellion as an act of defiance.

At first, rebellion, which by that I mean the active effort to overcome the feeling of injustice and oppression,

can provide initial direction and motivation to overcome oppressive conditions by taking action, as it provides a specific objective and a frame for development 

The most common act of rebellion is simply to struggle against your social environment, the opinions of others, and the frame of mind of those around you.     

Since most practitioners grew up in an indoctrinated environment with a clear right and wrong, with “this is how we do things” and “this is how we think about this or that” kinds of frames.

It is clear that the first impulse to change our internal and external conditions is to rebel against what we perceive as restrictive and unjust.

Every teenager goes through the same psychological process of struggling to define their identity by clashing with the authority figures, the givers of frame, mostly their parents.

The initial idea that if we were the ones in power and had gained sufficient leverage, we could impose our will without further conflict with the oppressor and change the frame to fit our own is rooted in a misunderstanding of what freedom is.

The problem here is not one of power and dominance but of becoming dependent on an oppressor's existence to maintain a sense of identity.

For example, in christianity there is an interdependency between Satan or Lucifer and God, because what is Satan or Lucifer without god? What role or function is there at all for the adversary without the frame giver?  

With that kind of mindset, the practitioner may feel so justified and above others because "I don’t give a shit," and "I will take down the system," and "everything is wrong and unjust", but it’s only a short-term feel-good style engagement with no real sense of direction, identity, and stability. 

Engaging in Tabboo breaking is only an initial step, as what was once a psychological lever for liberation eventually becomes the new frame for identity and no longer provides a psychic outlet.

That kind of dopamine-pumping attitude, if adopted as an identity, will lead to frustration, existential depression, identity crises, and anxiety.

Even worse, if the practitioner builds personal and social identity on the principle of self, as a "rebel," establishing it in like-minded social circles, on social media channels, or through demonic pacts to support that identity.

It will become an entrapment, making it impossible to mature and forge a state of independence from the normative frames imposed by society. 

It is one thing to prepare quietly and discreetly, working toward liberation and the possibility of setting the desired frame. However, it is quite different to openly promote oneself as the adversary's trooper, which creates a dependency on the oppressor's frame. Opposing social conventions openly will cause unnecessary friction and isolation, pushing oneself further into extremism, small, closed social circles, and deeper entrapment.

Eventually, the rebel's identity becomes so entangled with the desire to overthrow the oppressor that it becomes trapped in a permanent state of hatred, frustration, and anger, high on dopamine and low on efficiency.

The only key to the desired state of self-empowerment is accepting full responsibility, not to kick buckets, but to be able to shed the addiction to rebellion as a means to redefine the self and accept the given situation as the best possible current frame to operate in.

Even though every action and thought before the act of assuming responsibility, which is self-empowerment, was an act of rebellion against something specific, after empowerment, it no longer holds power over the practitioner's mind and becomes irrelevant.

Occupying the mind with irrelevant struggles over other people's perspectives of the world is a form of escapism and is counterproductive to shaping a personal perspective free of indoctrination and constraints.

It is better to adopt the NLP presupposition of respecting other people's perceptions of the world while discarding anything unnecessary or restrictive from your own, even when disagreement arises.

It’s not about avoiding sometimes necessary confrontations, but about reducing unnecessary friction.

In most cases, conflict or opposition to other worldviews is neither conducive and irelevant; everyone has their own frame of existence and occupies their own space. Better to mind your own business and keep others out of yours than entangle yourself with other people's problems.


The practitioner who strives for liberation should at least be able to disengage from toxic and abusive people and environment, or if there is no other option, to pretend to operate as others on the surface level and quietly find a way out.

Believing that you will not be free until the source of oppression no longer exists, when the perceived oppressor is a certain religion or idiology is just an excuse to avoid responsibility to your own corner of the world.

Oppressive and dogmatic religions have existed and still exist as a source of indoctrination and entanglement. Some have billions of believers who would still murder those who hold different perspectives and beliefs.

If you set your mind and will against that kind of egragor, hive mind, or mental virus as a neccery step on your way to liberation, other than being a childish act of uninformed self-importance, it will crush you 

The weight of mental, emotional, and actual reality created and maintained by so many bodies and minds is huge. The counter inner frame is way too much for one person to sustain without suffering a mental breakdown. This is also true for any counterculture that aims to destroy the reality of billions of others.

A LHP practitioner must take responsibility for themselves, not for others; let that be the work of lunatics, new agers, and lightworkers to save the world.

In any case, part of the deep psychological process of maturation necessary to succeed on the LHP creates a temporary state of detachment and alienation from mainstream society, but this does not have to lead to permanent frustration or activist-like resentment.

The process of self-empowerment and of assuming responsibility and authority over your own dominion and reality is deep and profound, and in most cases, oppression only exists in the minds of the oppressed and is self-inflicted.

In the process of self-empowerment, the oppressor is reduced to a minor annoyance and no longer seen as a serious threat.


If the practitioner does not learn to value and integrate the responsibility that comes with being free, they will never reach full maturity and will remain oppressed. 

As an LHP practitioner, it is best to experience a bit of everything, including rituals, intoxication, kinky sex, challenging social conventions, and breaking taboos. Done as an act of engagement and enrichment, not for immersion or personal identification.

While Satanism or adversisim of any kind may help achieve short-term objectives, it is not a long-term means of attaining liberation.

The belief that LHP practices are merely a means to achieve desired goals is redundant. Since magical effects are seeds that grow in the dark and are not usually immediately noticeable, frequent practice is required, and with that, the commitment to keep watering the seed. Eventually, it will grow roots, then a stem that emerges through the stone-like conditions.

Understanding your effect on reality, your place in the world, and moving beyond the old limitations is more significant than rebelling or resenting those who circumstantially oppressed you.  

Oppression is an internal state; overcoming it requires a solid, persistent, and determined mindset.

Instead of blaming others for circumstantial problems, LHP practitioners must take charge of the situation, find their role in it, and move on, leaving that old environment devoid of the drama that used to shake their minds, while discarding it as insignificant. 

Difficult circumstances and challenges, frustrating as they may be, are stepping stones to maturation and personal growth, which lead to greater freedom.

True strength is cultivated by embracing the weight of becoming an individual rather than trying to escape it through perpetual rebellion. While the process of becoming a sorcerer may not always show linear or immediate results, it has long-lasting benefits, like planting an acorn and seeing it grow into a tree.

Neglecting the somatic and psychological longing for a projected mirror identity because it is difficult to feel disempowered and easier to feel resentful is another form of disempowerment because it feeds the oppressor.

Eventually, the real act of liberation begins by accepting responsibility for one's decisions and actions, and by acting, I also mean being present somaticaly with sensations like shame, guilt, and desire until they are perceived as nothing more than somatic sensations and no longer a compulsion for action or inaction.

Cultivating and maintaining a solid sense of personal boundaries is essential, as they are the cornerstone of self-respect. And are necessary for relationships, for maintaining a stable environment, and for sustaining personal space. Non-aggressive assertiveness is essential for maintaining healthy boundaries.

The process initiated on the LHP confronts practitioners with their thoughts, feelings, and patterns until they can assume responsibility over them and own them. 

This is sovereignty and true liberation.

Those who engage in various dogmatic religious and spiritual beliefs may feel more liberated and self-assured because it gives a false sense of certainty, but keep in mind that being able to face the chaotic, uncertain nature of the universe and assume responsibility for your own actions, forging your own destiny, is true liberation.
