​Chapter 7. Delegation of Will

If the delegation of Will is logically vulnerable and hides the true authorship of the subject, its historical dominance needs an explanation. The triumph of the Right-Hand Path cannot be a mere intellectual error. The preference for submission persists because transparency is not a virtue in itself. The vast majority of humanity chooses the path of delegation because the alternative imposes a load most people refuse to carry. The Right-Hand Path shifts the crushing weight of being onto an external structure.

A causal universe is a closed circuit where every event is the consequence of a prior state. Energy is transferred; a falling stone or a burning star possesses no authorship, passing on motion it did not create. In a purely causal system, freedom is impossible and outcomes are already fixed by what came before. The Will stands against this inertia as an anomaly. It is the capacity to begin without a prior cause, introducing something new. To will is to break the chain of consequences and begin something that comes from the subject itself.

The Right-Hand Path uses causal camouflage to erase this capacity. By treating action as obedience to an external cause, the subject shifts from being an origin to being a transmitter. This is self-preservation, letting the individual exist without being the source. The Left-Hand Path accepts that Will is not caused by anything else. It removes false causes and leaves the subject as the sole source of action. This is the cost of acausality.

The immediate burden is guilt. In a causal chain, each link is innocent because it passes on what it did not create. A soldier following orders or a believer obeying scripture regards himself as innocent. An acausal subject recognizes itself as the origin. There is no higher authority to blame.

This produces responsibility. Without an external script, there is no alibi. The subject cannot appeal to time, genes, or environment: each action belongs to him alone.

Now meaning must be produced. In the causal chain, it is external — encoded in the laws of nature or God's commandments. It is waiting to be discovered, offering the subject the comfort of objective knowledge. The person lives inside a pre-given order. The acausal subject, having rejected such scripts, must generate meaning on its own. Value becomes a projection of Will, an ongoing act that must be actively maintained.

This creates a legitimacy crisis. The acausal agent has no warrant and no divine right. There is no answer to the question "Who are you to decide?” The sovereign acts without permission from any higher power.

The weight increases with the realization that this is irreversible. Decisions made from the sovereign center have no higher authority to appeal to. Since there is no external judge, there is no mechanism for forgiveness. The act remains a permanent fact of the subject's life, unalterable by regret or prayer.

The subject must also face the difference in scale. By stepping away from collective structures, the individual no longer relies on shared beliefs or frameworks. This removes any buffer between self and world. The subject exists now as a small, isolated unit inside a much larger system that offers no special concern or protection.

Finally, this path excludes participation. Submission to a shared law creates a collective "we,” where individuals follow the same rules. The acausal subject stands outside this collective. To be a source is to be separate and alone.

From this view, the "war" between religion and secularism is a trivial dispute within the same architecture. There is no difference among the ideological forms of the Right-Hand Path. God, nature, history, the nation, humanity, or the market — all perform the same function: they accept the delegation of authorship. They are the metaphysical containers into which the subject pours its Will to avoid the burdens of sovereignty. The Marxist who submits to historical materialism and the Christian who succumbs to divine providence are both relieved of the burden of their Will. The golden idol and Yahweh perform the same task: they remove authorship by serving as alibis for acausality.

The Left-Hand Path is usually rejected because it is a luxury position, sustainable by those willing to assume the full cost of existence.
