The Aberrant Typology

Explaining the characterological types based on the Ego's attitude towards the sacred symbol: the ludic, the sacralizing, and the luciferic graceful.

The Aberrant Typology, as presented in the sources, categorises the lost Virya based on their Ego's attitude towards the sacred symbol. This typology is crucial for understanding the Virya's potential for spiritual liberation. It identifies three distinct types: the ludic, the sacralizing, and the luciferic graceful. Each type exhibits a specific reaction during the fundamental ethical act – the confrontation between the Ego and the sacred symbol.

The balloon law, a key principle in this typology, states: "The lesser the will, the greater the stability of the process". This means that the weaker the Ego's will, the more susceptible it is to being dominated by the sacred symbol's archetypal power.

The Characteristics of Each Type

1. The Ludic Type

  • Defining Attitude: The ludic type is characterised by an ambiguous mix of fear and attraction towards the sacred symbol. They are drawn to its power but lack the courage to engage with its deeper meaning.

  • Behaviour in the Fundamental Ethical Act: When confronted with the sacred symbol, the ludic type seeks to degrade and trivialise it, bringing it down to their level of understanding. This is exemplified in the allegory of Mr. Aberro, where the ludic type, represented by Mr. Aberro, deflates the balloon (symbolising the sacred symbol) to play with it, losing its spiritual significance.

  • Ethical Implications: Due to their fear of commitment and tendency to frame experiences within a playful context, the ludic type often exhibits moral relativism. They are either deontologists of the act, focusing on the immediate consequences of their actions, or normative deontologists, adhering to societal rules without deep conviction. They fail to grasp the absolute moral principle embodied in the Uncreated Rune.

2. The Sacralizing Type

  • Defining Attitude: The sacralizing type exhibits submission and blind reverence towards the sacred symbol. They are overwhelmed by its power and surrender their will to it.

  • Behaviour in the Fundamental Ethical Act: The sacralizing type passively contemplates the sacred symbol, avoiding any critical examination or attempt to understand its essence. They experience a state of "sacred ecstasy" as the symbol overwhelms their consciousness, mistaking this surrender for spiritual union.

  • Ethical Implications: The sacralizing type adheres to a teleological ethical framework, believing in a preordained moral order and striving for a "greatest surplus of good over evil". They often impose their moral beliefs on others, seeking to mould society according to their perceived ideal. Their understanding of morality remains limited by their inability to transcend the symbol's form and grasp its true essence.

3. The Luciferic Graceful Type

  • Defining Attitude: The luciferic graceful type is distinguished by courage and a resolute will to confront the sacred symbol. They recognise the dramatic tension between their Ego and the symbol's power and choose to engage with it directly, resisting its attempt to dominate their consciousness.

  • Behaviour in the Fundamental Ethical Act: Armed with "graceful will", a force bestowed by the Paraklete during the runic ecstasy, the luciferic graceful type suspends the dramatic tension exerted by the sacred symbol. They break free from the balloon law, preventing the symbol from overwhelming their consciousness. This allows them to either transcend the symbol's form and apprehend its archetypal essence or dissolve its influence entirely.

  • Ethical Implications: The luciferic graceful type transcends the limitations of conventional moral systems. They embody Honor as the Moral in itself, acting in accordance with the truth of the Uncreated Rune. Their actions are not driven by fear, social pressure, or the desire for reward but by an intrinsic alignment with the Hyperborean Spirit's inherent nobility.

Key Points

  • The Aberrant Typology categorises the lost Virya based on their Ego's attitude towards the sacred symbol.

  • The luciferic graceful type represents the highest potential for spiritual liberation, characterised by courage, honour, and the ability to transcend the symbol's illusory power.

  • The ludic type degrades the symbol out of fear, while the sacralizing type submits to it, both failing to grasp the true essence of the Hyperborean path.

  • Noological Ethics, based on the absolute truth of the Uncreated Rune, guides the luciferic graceful type towards spiritual liberation, empowering them to practice Honor as the Moral in itself.
