Hello,
It has been many years since the last time I visited OF. My previous nickname was flay, short for Friend Ley, but that has changed. Much has changed in fact, so I am here to provide an update on the Temple of THEM's progress after its establishment in 2006.
Briefly - Late December 2010, THEM rejoined the ONA as the Australian Nexion. We reinstated Mvimaedivm Wordpress to share our documents and insights and continue to act as a 'Traditional' Nexion offering guidance to those working their way through the Septenary Way, seek to ensure ONA mss and writings remain visible and accessible to all prospective or present adherents.
We have remained traditional despite the many changes occurring within the strata of the ONA and continue to teach and learn about the pre-fayen ONA collection of ideas - concerning Alchemy, Aeonics, Esoteric Knowledge, Forms, The Star Game, The Black Book of Satan, Naos, Sinister Tarot, Insight Roles, The Tree of Wyrd, Dark Gods Mythos, Mythos as well as archive the changing face and mss of the exoteric ONA - and so on. Through our archival section the Black Glyph Society we are attempting to restore aspects of the former/older ONA by reprinting the works and media of the pre-fayen era, including the Sinister Tarot by Christos Beest.
The work of THEM also helps guides initiates through the occult labyrinth of the ONA where many get stuck, hung up on the precise manner in which to do proscribed acts. We encourage people to turn back to themselves instead of giving their power to others and illustrate the underlying mesh and nature/effect/power of forms - such as the power of inert text to prevent a person from thinking for themselves or preventing them from acting because according to the text it must be done this way, that way, or any other certain way. In conjunction with other nexions we assist the forward momentum of individuals toward Individuation or Psychic Wholeness in the hope that a critical mass of enlightened initiates can spearhead a change in fundamental perception of the Self. Much of our work is about creating awareness of the multi-self and a life-centred geometry via the jettisoning of the ego as the sole driver of the Initiate.
Our work is often confronting and unwelcome, precisely because of this approach and the ugly or inconvenient discoveries we make along the way that directly threaten the soveriegnty of the age-old establishment of the ego. Nevertheless, we believe that the way forward to the next evolutionary stage of mental/magical prowess is through an understanding of the application and vagaries of Form.
Since 2006 our aims have not changed, and we continue to strive for psycho-social collapse and to diminish faith in commonly accepted constructs and concepts - believing them to be innately flawed.

The Temple of THEM 2011
A lot has been written about the ONA.
Whatever people think of the ONA - however smart some may be, or however foolish and gullible - there has always been people around that were affected by it from a little bit, to considerable extremes. The ONA manages to make arguments that go beyond convincing to exacting - they manage to change minds, deeds and actions simply with the power of inert text.
The discussion about culling may very well be theoretical but there have been direct outcomes by the ONA that have and presumably still do lead to violence, terrorism and thousands of other ongoing acts that have their own story to tell. The Tempel ov Blood in NC for instance, Does hurt people, and acts as a cult that exacts punishing regimes and brain-washing programs, humiliation and torture. What draws people into this crazy shit? The Mythos of the ONA coupled with their Vampiric Spiel. Because of my association to the ONA I continually get people asking my advice on joining this or that sect, doing this or that action - whether they did some of them or not I will never know, the road is long and people usually fade away after a few months at best. Those that didn't joined me in the Temple of THEM.
I have done things I would not have thought myself capable of doing, and continue to act as a fanatic of the Sinister. Because of the power of the Mythos of the ONA. Almost anywhere you go on internet forums, the ONA commands interest. Here in 600 club, our nexion has over 12,000 visits. The hynotic allure of the ONA is not by chance. But what exactly is it? - in some respects, like a 3-handed piano player its litery assault manages to his to many keys its bound to hit one of yours.
Where it generates Conflict - it generates involved and brain-stretching efforts to get around its concepts which have a very solid grounding not only in the actual form they represent, but in the refusal to accept that form, there is a lesson too. Everything is a lesson in the ONA - hardship, failure, arrogance, destiny, emotion, whatever it is, whatever you achieve, there is always more. You're always half-done. A lot of people fear having no goal, nothing to aspire to - the ONA is so hard, thats not a problem.
Where it generates agreement it thrives especially when people beign to question its exoteric instructive doctrine - because you learn whether you go with the Septenary Way, or take a different approach and ask, they dont really expect me to do this do they, so why is This here? When it comes to the ONA you're dealing with a leviathan monster of ideas - a rich and poignant history and mythology that has inspired thousands of people. I have spoken to thousands of people over the decade about ONA or something related to it - and still it continues to draw attention and people into its dark arms.
THe ONA makes you seriously think, it cannot be easily dismissed, because even dismissal has a connotation about the dismisser's perception.
Inner turmoil has made me leave those arms many times as I struggle to understand, overcome, make peace with the huge contradictions and energies that assail anyone trying to comprehend the ONA on its many levels - but I think the best of ONA is yet to come and that the last 50 years have built only the foundations, and those forms with a life of their own have not yet peaked.
Moreover, one doesnt have to be gullible to be taken in by the ONA - the Order offers something for everyone, even if what you get is an air of superiority that you 'bested' it with your intellect.
Smart people are violent too - and struggling with autonomy and the conflict of being told what to do whilst struggling to be ones own agent - does get resolved, and people do/have gotten hurt regardless of whether they felt they were master or slave.
But what the ONA has really culled, is ignorance. It has performed thousands of fundamental and lastinf attacks and assualts on the points of view held by a very large number of people - it has torn holes in faulty reason and speculative nonsense, and it has altered, no matter that people dont admit it, the way people percieve IT, and therefore, broadened the average toolkit for how those people view other things. That is real change, because as the individual changes, so do they influence change in others and the outside world.
In the end, it all comes down to a mastery of Forms - no matter how you deliver them.
