Achieving the impossible act of killing God.

By: Akil K.

It is and has always been humankinds' ultimate pursuit to discover, unmask and kill their maker. Yet, most humans live in absolute fear of even expressing such a taboo statement, let alone walk a path that ends with the slaughter of their deity. Still, what is really being discussed is not strangling the creator of all things, but rather the abandonment of belief all together.

I once attended a local yogi’s class, and the young man asked us all what is a body? To which I replied it is a collection of things. Referencing a body of water, knowledge, or a human body. He went on to say that if the body is the seat of the soul, then what is the soul?

The soul is simply a story, that many embrace to give them self’s depth beyond what can be physically perceived. As a person is not simply a collection of physical mass, or a body of knowledge, but also contains an individual identity and personality. The likes of which would rather be viewed as sacred then a mundane program. And the truth is this belief, or rather story cannot be proved correct, or incorrect.

The true power of a belief is that it is able to explain, what humankind cannot decipher using logic and reason. For example, conundrums such as existence and death tend to be a focal point of many belief systems and spiritual paths. Yet at the end of the day is any story truer than another or is the simple act of belief enough to reap the benefits of the spiritual plain?

Why kill God? Is a question you may be asking yourself at this point. After all, don’t we have endless reasons to be grateful? In fact, it is actually quite the contrary. We have nothing but fear for this omnipotent being. I’m willing to bet; some will not swear against God, or state that they are on a quest to murder it, not out of reverence but rather fear of the consequences of such a statement. Yet it is this belief that leaves us bound in our thoughts, and likewise our actions. To kill God is to regain the agency a wolf has as it devours the sheep. In this moment with blood dripping from its soaked jaw, it does not wonder what is beautiful in gods sight.

An ancient pursuit: It is true that Humankind has been trying to kill God for a great deal of time, since the days of Nimrod and the tower of Babel. Why else would man want to build a tower to heaven? Even when Moses was high upon Mt. Sinai and returned after 40 days with two tablets chiseled out of stone, only to see his people had begun to warship the golden calf. It is apparent they simply would rather believe a different story.

Why is the story so important? Because the story we believe will influence our thinking, and therefore our actions in the most dramatic way possible. A human being is simply a story with breath. To control this story, and even destroy this story is to truly possess one’s soul.

The most courageous action, as one can only find their self, when not influenced by Gods conceptual presence. Revealing the true way, we desire to live. In effect who would I be without my belief system is the essential question. Within this dialogue, theory-based science is thought of in the same light as spirituality. Both belief systems share the aim of conceiving the unknown. We will explore deeply into how one can go about becoming a God killer, this statement should not be taken lightly and is something….

Only a Demon is truly able to do. If this work is to be attempted, don’t be surprised if you grow a tail and your own set of horns to pierce through the heart of the lord and savior. God is used here as a word to represent the master of one’s story. God then can be multiple deities, or a living being, male, female, animal, tree, or even a concept without form. Let us begin by sharpening the blade we will use to sever Gods holy head.

The pursuit of slaying God is not for the fickle as you will not achieve this feat in a single day. Rather, it is a hunt, a multiple phase process where the omnipotent is drained of all their strength. Removing their heart slowly and eating it upon a silver platter.

The first step is to become close to God, not only in your holiness, but in dedication to the spiritual path and philosophy’s. If you are going to burn the story, first the story must be known to its core, even dissected. In fact, one must give themselves to the belief, to the practice, and cultivation of spirituality in every way. Dedicating themselves whole heartedly and without any ulterior motive, as God knows the true intention of all who approach them. Gaining Gods trust as one of their faithful saints, and siting at the feet of the elders to deeply understand the narrative.

Cultivation Practices, such as prayer, chanting, meditation, and incantation should become the center of your world. In your attempt to fully devote yourself to this holy aspiration, forgetting totally that you intend to kill God. Use your free time to study the history of your spiritual path, as well as the legacy it has left behind. Living as a monk, or a devotee to your chosen practice will allow you to move on to the next step. Stop considering yourself human and die to the world of the living. Become totally absorbed in your spiritual, mental, and physical cultivation. As a battle with God will take the combined efforts of your entire being.

Find the holes, or contradictions within the holy script. Call out the divine writer on their nonsensical emotional, and overly human reactions. Discover the true reasons the belief system was created, ask the question how this aids the devotee, and likewise restrict their healthy movement through life?

Breaking the spiritual trance and taking account of the entire philosophy seeing it now clearer than ever. Allow God to come off of their high and mighty thrown and shrink before you. Until you can see them eye to eye and hear their incredibly audible human voice in your own ear. No longer blinded by idealism, faith, and desires of the super ego you are now ready to make your stand against the all mighty.

The battle between mortal and the omnipotent begins… Internally renounce your beliefs and feel how lost you become. The spiritual concept that keeps your personal matrix together, depends on a fragile understanding of the unexplainable phenomenon, of our supernatural world. Allowing your world view to fall into chaos, meditate on the void that opens inside of your chest, a certain emptiness. This place we prepare as the coffin of God, here we will place their embalmed carcass.

This is the process of draining a deity’s power, and likewise disconnecting from the reservoir of sustaining life given to you freely. This resplendent spiritual energy is what we devotees exchange for our freewill. Therefore, as God continues to be shrinken, one must consider where they will find this level of spiritual energy in their life. As the subtle prana that is granted from spiritual discipline is undeniable. The purpose of this essay is not to have you lose such an important source of vitality, but rather to be empowered. As these spiritual shackles allow for discipline, focus, and cultivation, still they have the side effect of restriction from your fullest potential.

The act, and the script Must now be replaced. As one's story begins to dissipate into the abyss of antiquity. What story shall replace it in the palace of the body, or rather the seat of the soul? At this moment the practitioner has given their self the agency to choose their own story, maybe for the first time. Like any story, the author who sets out to write it must have a few basic principles for it to be complete. As you construct your new soul consider where you get your spiritual energy from, and what the main purpose of this energy is? Once it is understood where your energy comes from, and where it is to go, the entity one embodies on this plain will become clear to themselves, and therefor able to be further cultivated. As now looking eye to eye with God, disconnected from the spiritual umbilical cord, an entirely renewed soul. Although, still lacking the power to compete with their maker.

Many battles, of the war with God take place in the moment's day to day. It is an individual’s lifestyle that is their greatest possession. This looks like the relentless cultivation of one’s gifts, and dedication to one’s own written script. As well as surviving the on slot of testing events with one’s own wit/ physic grit. Consuming the desired energetic supply and producing the forbidden fruit untainted by human weakness or inhibition. In effect this is the process of owning your soul and welding it furiously towards your goals. However, this cultivation cannot be tunnel vision, but rather a grand juggling act if you are truly to eradicate God head. Not only must one focus on what they desire, but also on what they need. As if our needs are unmet, then our wants are truly just fantasy. This means the cultivation of the body, mind, and soul are the true work to grasping one’s desire and holding it long enough to enjoy the sensation.

5 plains of existence; digestive, circulatory, muscular, skeletal, cerebral. Of these 5 plains, each human gravitates to one dominate organ system over the other others. This natural affinity is unchangeable coming from our genes and early life development. Even still we all possess each of these separate systems and need them each to function in tandem to live a healthy, and unrestricted life. Dedication to the maintenance of each plain, gives the physical vessel all the nourishment, activity, stimulation, and rest it needs. Then and only then will the spirit have an adequate temple to unleash its full power. How else, could a soul growing without regulated energetic restrictions remain comfortable in its physical vessel? Only when each organ system is thriving, can the energetic body develop to its fullest capacity. Removing the head of God, can only be done from a place of relative perfection, and focused committed development. Furthermore, it is only in this state that a Demons Dharma can effectively be undertaken.

Demon Dharma, is the driving force behind the will of a definition two Demon. As God is killed and consumed, one’s reason for life, and personal mission must become self-generated rather than produced through an imposed belief system. Now, the practitioner must decide what their purpose, or Dharma is to be. It is well known that all Demons have come with a mission in mind, it is this self-imposed mission that allows the most spectacular high sciences, and art forms to manifest into our realm. As one fulfills their purpose so also does the self-story or soul become more developed. This Dharma also includes that fuel supply that is consumed. This is always some form of…

Energetic vampirism, and is the repurposing of spiritual energy, that allows for powerful self-cultivation. It must be stated that one’s Dharma is extremely complex and does not necessarily need to be defined in a one-word explanation. However, simplicity is the greatest sophistication, and likewise the most concise phrase can often reveal the most clarity. Yet despite this, understanding the entirety of your own Dharma takes time, consideration, discovery and self-mastery. It is the act of generating spiritual purpose, and spiritual food that allows for the undermining, and eventually decapitation of God as a concept.

In the Book of Enoch, it was the fallen angels that brought powerful knowledge to humankind. Knowledge such a metal work, herbalism, astrology, chemistry, and several others. In the same way it is the consciousness of a being who has conquered God that is ultimately able to manifest higher levels of psychic energy, leading to them being seen as supernatural. Ultimately manifesting original conceptions scavenged in other dimensions.

If the seat of the soul is the body, and the soul is but a story aligned with an entity known as God. Then to be a writer is to possess the power to challenge that holy thrown. Overthrowing one's super ego and replacing it with an original spiritual concept, that serves their hearts desire.

The void is essentially the alter of the God killer, as God being the force of creation and omnipotence is consumed by the void of nothingness. In fact, this is also a vital concept in achieving all things desired. As within the darkness of the void all things can be attracted and drawn to yourself. This is done through basic complex energy manipulations. Involving the combined forces of meditation, and visualization, as well as integration of shadow play. As the void itself is made of dark energy, which has the properties of night, smoke, earth, and abyss or emptiness. However, like all forms of energy one must not only have the correct constitution, and predisposition, but also cultivate, and fulfill the necessary conditions of the archetypal energy.

Archetypal energy is the unique type of spiritual energy and constitutional integrity generated by the story character one adopts for themselves. This differs from identity; as identity may be linked firmly to the real world's binary constants, while the architype is strictly formed as a consciously or unconsciously chosen caricature.

Death, is cold, empty, endless, unknown, and the end which is naturally the beginning although none of us are able to know the other side of the veil. Death in its empty grace, still remains constant. It is feared yet fearing It does not extend our time or make it any more peaceful. In fact, fear of death, may prevent us from truly living, just as fear of failure can stop the artist from trying. It is because of this, that on the path of the God killer it is vital we except both; death and failure. Not only this but in the emptiness of death, we can truly become void and attract our souls desire, as well as become indestructible.

Resurrection: the immortal warrior is the only architype cable of killing God. only it can smite the super ego, diminish the master of fate, and smite destiny itself. The immortal warrior makes the poetic exchange of human life, for one of pursuit. Reaching any desire for this being is a simple equation, idea plus labor equals manifestation. The immortal warrior possesses; the infinite ability to fight the fates, for fantastic fiend like aspiration is bound to claim its purpose, seeing the end of its heart’s desire. This raging fire requires control, as this being is weakest to self-destruction.

Pain is the true price of killing God, as the sadness of God is incomprehensible to mortals. Once God has been consumed all of his rich empathic fixations will become the property of the hollow who did the deed. Still, it is not all sadness, accompanying the pain is euphoria, and most importantly vigor. As this pain itself is contained in the very due of the primordial waters of creation, and also is its undoing. It was pain that brought God to create all things, and this pain that caused him to take it away as well. This was the pain of boredom, and the pain of sadness.

End, is beginning therefor killing God, we find the reason for God. Understanding that God never existed as anything beyond yourself in the first place. But God, like our personal legend or identity effects our life dramatically. Whether or not the soul exists at all doesn’t really matter. As that place will still need to be filled. In the end keeping God, and your soul may be worth it for your architype. However, if you feel driven to destroy the core concepts, and stabilizing pillars of your existence. Resulting in the loosing of any reasonable grasp on reality possibly permanently. All to gain what can vaguely be called the Dark gift of void. Then please be my guest….
