Editing Order of Nine Angles (section)

===The acausal realm and theology===

The ONA teaches that humans live within the ''causal'' realm, which obeys the laws of cause and effect. They also believe in an ''acausal'' realm, in which the laws of physics do not apply.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=100}} The group further promotes the idea that numinous energies from the acausal realm can be drawn into the causal, allowing for the performance of magic.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=100}}

The Order claims that "Dark Gods" exist within the acausal realm, although it is accepted that some members will interpret them not as real entities but as facets of the human subconscious.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=103}} These entities are perceived as dangerous, with the ONA advising caution when interacting with them.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=103}} Among those Dark Gods whose identities have been discussed in the Order's publicly available material are a goddess named [[Baphomet]] who is depicted as a mature woman carrying a severed head.{{sfn|Monette|2013|pp=103–105}} In addition, there are entities whose names, according to Monette, are borrowed from or influenced by figures from Classical sources and [[astronomy]], such as Kthunae, Nemicu, and Atazoth.{{sfn|Monette|2013|pp=103–105}}

Another of these acausal figures is named Vindex, after the Latin word for "avenger". The ONA believe that Vindex will eventually incarnate as a human – although the gender and ethnicity of this individual is unknown – through the successful "presencing" of acausal energies within the causal realm, and that they will act as a messianic figure by overthrowing the Magian forces and leading the ONA to prominence in the establishment of a new society.{{sfnm|1a1=Monette|1y=2013|1pp=104, 108–109|2a1=Sieg|2y=2013|2pp=260, 265–266|3a1=Introvigne|3y=2016|3p=360}} 

Sieg drew comparisons between this belief in Vindex and the ideas of [[Savitri Devi]], the prominent [[Esoteric Hitlerism|Esoteric Hitlerist]], regarding the arrival of [[Kalki]], an avatar of the Hindu god [[Vishnu]], to Earth.{{sfn|Sieg|2013|pp=259–260}} The ONA propagate the idea that it is possible for the practitioner to secure an [[afterlife]] within the acausal realm through their spiritual activities.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=101}} It is for this reason that the final stage of the Seven Fold Way is known as the "Immortal", constituting those initiates who have been able to advance to the stage of dwelling in the acausal realm.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=101}}
