Well earlier I decided that since my life is devoted to study, I should let Dagon be my guide to lead me to where I need to go... But on this day of Nyarlathotep, I invoked the lord of chaos and he spoke to me as his energy moved through my astral form. He said, "You know that I am the Old One meant for you right? You have known chaos, terror, madness, and death for all this time. Why do you doubt your experience?" This would suggest that I embrace what has been hindering me for all this time and make it part of myself... This would be appropriate I believe. What say you people?

Sounds about right I think. A lot of cultists seem to be drawn to a specific deity within the mythos. I think it's quite interesting in how the pull of a deity can manifest. One can learn a lot about themself by considering the messages and symbols of their 'chosen' deity. They can learn or at least come to understand the nature and mechanics of th ethereal. At least i think so.

Indeed! Although I can choose Nyarlathotep or Dagon as my Old One, Amon Ra has been with me for well over a decade now and he chose me all that time ago when I was 17... What I'm asking is, what roles do each fill in my life? I suppose Amon Ra is more appropriately placed as director of my spiritual progression while the Old One I choose should be for more refined and directed work... I'm thinking that's best as Amon Ra is a bit broader spectrum...
I should also mention that my other concern is that Nyarlathotep has a reputation as a trickster. Can I really trust him? Wait! Of course! Gurdjeff once stated how what was said is more important than who's saying it! And that makes sense! And Nyarlathotep is right as I have some experience with all of those things! (Terror, madness, chaos, and death) and so perhaps this is the road for me...
I should say here that Nyarlathotep is the god of necromancy. I still have an aversion to necromancy because of my dead mother... I know that I would tempted to call her up... Maybe I should just go into this thing head on! Perhaps I should embrace necromancy for that reason alone!
