Antinomianism, a tool to achieve liberation
EDUARD HORN. The word antinomian is of Greek origin and means lawlessness, but in the context of spirituality it does not mean breaking laws that will get you into trouble or anything like that, but rather, going against the grain. P.T. Mistlberger says in an article called Tantric Antinomianism and The Left Hand Path “It refers to a particular teaching that is not concerned with conventional ethics and is largely amoral (as opposed to moral or immoral).” By following an antinomian spiritual approach you aim to awake spiritually by using non-traditional methods and means. So if someone from a specific religion looks outside that religion for the answers to spiritual questions and engages in acts that are not approved by their religion, it can be seen as an antinomian act.
