No, the Selbst is not located within the Tau point. Instead, the Tau point serves as the threshold from which the initiated warrior (Virya) must build a metaphysical bridge to reach the Selbst.

There is a clear strategic distinction and distance between these two concepts:

The Tau Point (The Created Realm) The Tau point is the "origin-instant" of spiritual enchainment and represents the first tetrarch point of the labrelix path. It is situated within the created realm, specifically within the protective Odal rune (or Odal Archemon). To reach this point, the Hyperborean Initiate must construct a "Spiral Staircase" using their faculty of anamnesis, allowing them to traverse the spatial and temporal distances that separate them from the historical moment of their Spirit's fall.

The Metaphysical Bridge to the Selbst When the initiate climbs the final step of the Spiral Staircase and arrives at the Tau point (also referred to as the Tau plaza), they find themselves at the threshold of a second path known as the Infinite Staircase. Once situated in the Tau plaza, the isolated Ego can look inwardly to locate the Selbst, which shines on the horizon like an "inner star" or the "planet Venus". However, the Selbst and the Tau point remain separated by a distance that is "not spatial, not temporal, but strategic". The Infinite Staircase serves as the actual metaphysical bridge that spans this distance, connecting the Tau point to the Selbst.

The Selbst and the Tau Center (The Uncreated Realm) The Selbst itself is a focal point located entirely outside of the conscious sphere, serving as the seat of the awakened Ego. The texts explicitly clarify this cosmic geography by distinguishing the Tau point (which resides in the created realm of the Odal rune) from the Tau center or Octagon Tau (which resides in the uncreated realm of the Hagal rune).

Therefore, the Tau point does not contain the Selbst; rather, it is the crucial launching pad from which the warrior ascends the Infinite Staircase to victoriously access the Selbst and enter the uncreated realm.

The Odal Archemon and the Ehre Sphere are distinct but intimately connected concepts representing two different requirements for a warrior's inner liberation: the strategic space of isolation and the spiritual force of will.

The Odal Archemon: The Isolated Fortress The Odal Archemon is a strategic inner space or walled fortress that the awakened warrior builds using the Odal rune, guided by the "Principle of the Fence" and the "Secret of the Right Angle". Its primary purpose is absolute isolation and defense. By constructing this impenetrable runic fence, the warrior permanently separates an "inside" from an "outside," effectively isolating their true Ego from the psychological conditioning of the human soul (the conscious subject) and the hostile material universe (the Valplads).

At the very center of the Odal Archemon lies the Tau Point, a liberated plaza where the warrior establishes a space completely free from the transcendent time and evolutionary laws of the Demiurge. Essentially, the Odal Archemon provides the lethal architecture of war that physically and psychologically protects the eternal spirit from enemy attacks.

The Ehre Sphere: The Force of Egoic Will While the Odal Archemon provides the isolated space, the Ehre Sphere (or Sphere of Honor) is the field of sheer spiritual energy and will generated inside it. Once the warrior secures the space of the Odal Archemon, they construct the Ehre Sphere around the Selbst (the atemporal focal point where the awakened Ego safely resides).

This sphere does not run on ordinary human energy; it is filled with "gracious will," which is a superhuman, extra contribution of spiritual force granted by the Paraclete (the Grace of the True God). The Ehre Sphere acts as an inexhaustible source of volitional strength, endowing the warrior with infinite courage, absolute valor, and the uncreated power of the Vril required to achieve ultimate spiritual liberation.

The Fundamental Difference The core difference lies in their specific functions during spiritual warfare: the Odal Archemon is the impenetrable, timeless "castle" that provides the safe, isolated space necessary for the true Self to exist completely free from the Demiurge's illusions. In contrast, the Ehre Sphere is the dynamic spiritual potency and "egoic will" that actually occupies that center. It is the energetic force, fueled by the Paraclete, that grants the warrior the heroic strength and absolute honor needed to fight the forces of matter and safely return to the Origin.

The Eighth Sphere is a concept describing a realm of transcendence that exists entirely outside of the material cosmos created by The One. Within this system of knowledge, this sphere is known by specific names, including the Runic 8 and the Evil Astral.

Its fundamental characteristic is its existence Beyond the 7 Heavens, the 7 Dimensions, the 7 Planes of the Universe, and the 7 Universal Laws. This means that this concept transcends all structures defined by the number seven, such as the seven chakras, the seven deadly sins, the seven colors of the rainbow, or the seven musical notes. This dimension is separated from the physical plane.

The physical world surrounding us is understood as a massive, polyhedral space, structured in a volume of three dimensions, containing all other probable dimensions (1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 dimensions). The Eighth Sphere is strategically situated outside the demented material Universe created by The One. In diagrams representing the microcosm, the upper sphere, such as the Sahasrara chakra (the seventh), leads up to a region often marked by the number eight, associated with the Void or the Spirit. Furthermore, the definition of the Eighth Sphere places it Beyond the Soul Subject.

The totality of the Soul Subject consists of structures quantified by seven: the Quadrangularity of the Sphere of Shadow (4) plus the Tripartition of the Sphere of Light (3). The ultimate aspiration is to make a leap into the Void, demonstrating a profound state of absolute differentiation and Absolute Personality. The realization of the Eighth Sphere signals a crucial region of non-existence that is entered through a Black Hole.

Here is an easy and effective exercise:

1. Sit in the center of your room, facing the door.
2. Feel the four walls around you as an impregnable fortress.
3. Extend your presence to these walls and project your "Essential Hostility" out through the door. This active hostility generates the energetic and spiritual Fence needed to isolate your space.

We go into this in much more detail in the members' section.

The sacred symbol is the archetypal object or image that emerges in consciousness, while dramatic tension is the forceful, energetic relationship that is established between that symbol and the Ego.

A sacred symbol is the representation of a metaphysical truth, a myth, or a universal Archetype. It bursts into the light sphere of consciousness with maximum energy and autonomously attempts to unfold an entelechial process. Its ultimate goal is to capture the conscious subject, anesthetize the lost Ego, and take complete control of the individual's microcosm. In the allegory of Mister Aberro, the sacred symbol is represented directly by the continuously inflating balloon.

Dramatic tension, on the other hand, is the specific relationship or psychological dynamic established between the sacred symbol and the conscious subject. It is the energetic manifestation of the Balloon Law. When the sacred symbol appears, it generates this heavy tension, which is the actual force brought into play by the Archetype behind the symbol to overpower the Ego. Dramatic tension aims to immobilize the lost Ego by surrounding it in a microclimate of anguish and creating a highly dramatic, threatening context.

To summarize, while the sacred symbol is the illusory entity attempting to devour the consciousness, the dramatic tension is the aggressive psychological pressure it uses to achieve that goal. To defeat this, the awakened warrior uses the Graceful Will and the Luciferic Graceful Attitude to completely suspend the dramatic tension. By neutralizing this tension, the warrior breaks the Balloon Law, forcefully stops the process of the sacred symbol, and prevents their consciousness from being consumed.

The human spirit does not belong to the physical universe of matter and energy that we perceive with our everyday senses. Instead, the true home of the eternal spirit is the Uncreated Realm, an infinite and perfect dimension that exists entirely outside the boundaries of the created cosmos. The Hyperborean Wisdom describes this original realm as a state of absolute freedom, immutable perfection, and pure possibility, completely alienated from the mechanical laws of cosmic evolution, the flow of transcendent time, and the continuous cycles of life, death, pain, and suffering that characterize the material universe.

The Uncreated Realm was not created by the Demiurge, who is the architect of the flawed material world and is also known as Jehovah-Satan or The One. Rather, the material world is merely a clumsy, distorted, and demented imitation of the Uncreated Realm. Because the Uncreated Realm exists beyond the logic and structure of the created universe, it is often described as an infinite blackness or a void of pure possibility from the perspective of the trapped human soul, which can only comprehend material existence.

To the awakened warrior, however, this uncreated dimension is the true and only reality, the original Hyperborea, where the eternal spirit exists in a state of absolute orientation and divine power without any of the limitations imposed by physical bodies or psychological structures.

I will soon publish more about the Uncreated Realm.

According to the Hyperborean Wisdom, feeling depressed, cornered, or alienated by the current world is actually a profound and positive sign. The texts assert that finding the materialistic, modern world to be malignant and unbearable is not a symptom of mental illness, but rather an indication of your "purity of blood" and an active "gnostic predisposition". This depression stems from your eternal Spirit recognizing the inherent deception of the material universe and experiencing a deep "nostalgia for another world" or the Origin.

However, the sources strongly warn against seeking escape through nihilistic methods. While suicidal tendencies or the use of alcohol and drugs to flee reality arise from a valid gnostic intuition that the world is a prison, acting on them is considered a grave error and a lack of Honor. Yielding to despair and suffering only serves to feed the creator of this material world, the Demiurge, whose consciousness and cosmic power are nourished directly by human pain.

To rid yourself of this depression, you must transform from a "lost Virya" (a sleeping spirit trapped in the material illusion) into an "Awakened Virya" (a wise Hyperborean warrior). The texts outline specific spiritual and psychological actions you must take:

1. Adopt an "Essential Hostility" Instead of allowing the world to depress you, you must cultivate a warrior's hostility towards the material creation. The Hyperborean initiate must exhibit a "heart of ice and a will of fire". You are urged to become an "ice man" who laughs at danger and refuses to give in to emotional attacks like sadness, fear, or anxiety, recognizing that these are merely astral emotions designed to tie you to the material realm.

2. Cultivate a "Luciferic Graceful Attitude" To bridge the distance to your spiritual liberation, your awakened Ego must strip itself of every dogma, moral, and cultural conditioning imposed by society. By adopting this attitude, you learn to observe the drama and conflicts of life with "cold fire," refusing to get emotionally involved or polarized by the world's illusions. You recognize that the materialistic and consumerist values of modern society are a "Great Deception" (Maya) meant to keep you enslaved.

3. Apply the "Law of the Fence" (Strategic Opposition) You must psychologically and spiritually isolate yourself from the cultural labyrinth of the world. This involves building an impenetrable inner fortress, known as the Odal Archemon, where your true Self can reside safely. It requires you to stop giving meaning or emotional energy to external cultural objects and societal expectations, effectively quarantining yourself from the influence of the system while still living within it.

4. Embrace the War of the Spirit You must recognize that your existence on Earth is a constant spiritual war. The texts state that "all life is struggle," and true liberation is not found in seeking peace, comfort, or happiness—which are demiurgic illusions—but in actively fighting to free your Uncreated Spirit from matter. For the awakened warrior, the everyday world is simply a battlefield (Valplads).

By relying on your absolute spiritual will (Vril) and cutting off your emotional attachments to the pain and illusions of the world, you can defeat the depression that binds you. Through this fearless, warlike stance, you can achieve spiritual liberation and transmute into an immortal "Siddha Berserkr," free from the chains of the material universe.
