We can only escape from the world by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among worldly things.

Nikolas Schreck talks about his transition from Satanism to Buddhism
An Excerpt from Secret Knowledge Volume One
SK: Was there a particular life event that triggered your transition from Satanism and Setianism to more eastern philosophies? What were you moving towards and what were you leaving behind?
NS: My shift from darkness to dharma's clear light wasn't a reaction to any one particular existential experience. It was a gradual process ebbing and flowing over decades. First, just to set the record straight, I'm still a devotee of Seth, whose cult my teacher Zeena revived in 2002. And Seth is not Satan, despite some misinformed fantasies about that god's place in Egyptian religion. What was I moving towards? I've stumbled into plenty of dead ends, but always tried to move towards ultimate truth. As for what I left behind, if I learn that a spiritual path's leading me astray, I've always been prepared to abandon it if empirical evidence proves me wrong. I didn't go looking for a spiritual path out of intellectual curiosity, but was driven to seek answers due to several spontaneous childhood mystical experiences. Growing up in an extremely permissive bohemian family during the 60s counterculture, I was allowed to pursue my fascination with the actual personage of the Devil and magic without any of the usual parental disapproval most on that path encounter. Though I was a fanatically devoted Devil worshiper, my promiscuous nature led me to flirt with many other spiritual methods too, including Eastern mysticism. Several dramatic past life experiences showed me that reincarnation was real, so I always accepted that aspect of Buddhism. As a child, I was obsessed by an antique Buddha-shaped incense holder my father brought back from Japan after World War II. I'm sure this was a memory of Dharma practice in previous incarnations. Despite my lifelong leaning towards the Luciferian, I began meditating under the guidance of an Advaita yogini when I was thirteen. Inexplicable psychic and telepathic events during my adolescence made my search for the mind's true nature more urgent. In 1981, even while engaged in Goetic black magic and ritual evocation of the Devil and other deities, and experimenting with entheogenic drugs, I sharpened my meditation practice greatly by studying at a Los Angeles Zen center. In '83, a small magical commune I was involved with worked with the non-teaching of Krishnamurti. He was the first human being I ever met who impressed me as genuinely enlightened, at least at the time. Later that year, in London, while screwing around with Kenneth Grant's Typhonian sex sorcery, Enochian, and Spare's sigil magic, I was also initiated by a traditional Indian Tantric guru who worshiped Kali, my entry to the true left hand path. My 1983 encounter with Seth in Egypt was another turning point, though I misinterpreted that awe-inspiring event. After all this teetering between Eastern religion and Western occultism, I devoted myself exclusively to the Faustian Mephistophelean direction during the nine-year Radio Werewolf ritual from 1984 to 1993. But even that was mixed with Northern paganism and Eastern influences. In '93, Zeena and I went through a crisis of faith with the limits of occultism. Then later, after our extremely negative experiences in the Temple of Set, we finally renounced modern occultism to embrace ancient religious tradition instead. In the early 2000s, a particular meditation session revealed to me the truth of karma, non-self, emptiness, and universal compassion. I'd arrogantly rejected these basic Buddhist tenets for years despite using Buddhist mind training techniques for my own selfish purposes. That tipping point guided me from Tantric Shaktism to take formal refuge in Tantric Buddhism. Since then, I try to follow in the inspiring footsteps of Milarepa, the great Karma Kagyu master, who also abandoned the self-centered practice of black magic for Buddhism's much wider scope. In outlining my journey for your readers, I'm not preaching to anyone. Everyone must find their own way, in their own time, even if trial and error convinced me that Tantric Buddhism's unbroken lineage provides the truest most tested way to awakening and liberation.

The Birth of the Universe
An infinitesimal singularity bursts from its primordial slumber; and from this magickal feat, an infinite multiverse comes to life. An array of material forming a multitude of designs, colliding and connecting in a celestial war-dance. Since the moment we took physical form, everything we perceive is with biased senses. Subsequently, we are put through years of rigorous unlearning, with all-out assaults against the Individual. We then become reflections of the projections that, through our impressionable years, mold us. Misinformation become misconceptions and plagues our general understanding of Life. Our manufactured egos cripple us from grasping the sanctity of nature and the complexities of the mind.

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’ —a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
The Journey of the Magus
Through writings and through ritual, one learns of an Age Old tradition of immortalizing the Ancient Secret, the knowledge of existence, long forgotten. Of wisdom of the universe, our connection to the cosmos and man's infinite spiritual potential that's only restricted by our benevolence. Across vast reaches of space-time (and time-space), the Magus is able to receive the secrets of life beyond this dimension. Through focus of energy and will, he has the power to travel dimensions, communicate to the Ancient Ones and interact with spirits long dead. And live beyond death as a vessel for wisdom throughout all of existence, to the curious and to the empowered, the devotees and the fanatics. You are a piece of this cosmic puzzle. Realize your spiritual potential. You are your only obstacle to becoming an immortal spirit. Create your fate and join the ascended!
