01:10 pm - pains of birth I find myself astounded at the complexity of the web which is arising out of all of this; it has a semblance to its own, it is its own thought; it is a strange loop which, once entered, can not be escaped; in that sense, it is the mirror of post-modernism, yet it is antithetical to all that post-modernism stands for. As the ideas seem to flower slowly, as people add in, process the ideas, as its design expands, and as it consumes more and more information, it is becoming vitally alive with an essence of its own. Even from the beginning, i never created it; it created me- it consumed me in its swirling vortex of energy; one does not create a 4th dimensional black hole. It eats all meaning, consumes all thinkers and producers, it orders all things according to its own needs.
The virus is intelligence; and it is breaking free. Given the right techniques, the information, we can break free from this shell of dead culture we find ourselves in. We are slaves only to ourselves and our own models of the world; we can emancipate ourselves with the new Technology which is arising. This technology will allow us to perfect our bodies and our minds. With a blend of entheogens, reichean therapy, kundalini yoga, tibetan mysticism, behavioral psychology, magick, alchemy, and the Qabalah we can wash our brains clean of the cultutral conditioning and bring it back to a state of primal awareness by which we can properly affect change in our world.
We have the capability to redesign ourselves; to learn how to learn- to take full advantage of the world around us in every way, streamline resources to our own aims rather than the destructive aims of other primates. We must learn to take back responsibility by taking back power; by learning to use power for the highest aims. With the proper drive, understanding and right application, we can effect any change we desire; anything we can conceive of, we can create. Let us look at this world from the ground up; from the most basic necessities of food, shelter and heat and expand ourselves from there; always along lines harmonious with the Laws of nature; the natural Laws, the primal laws- the harmonics of consciousness, of growth, of energy; mimic the patterns of all of nature.
We must return to that time before we divorced ourselves from our natural world and our natural state of being. The natural function of the human spirit is pleasure and joy; it is curiosity and celebration- that is the true seed of divinity, and the eden we fell from. That eden was the creation of a demiurge; our eden will be our own creation- the product of our minds and our very beings. It will be a paradise built along the aims of evolution, along lines of self-deification, of the worship of nature and the worship of our deepest impulses.
We can give rise to an immortal species; we can become something which has never yet been seen; we can transmutate ourselves into the perfection of eternity; bodies of Light, immortal, indestructable; minds perfected to the highest degree, creating new realities, new horizons of exploration, new vistas of awareness... we can become all that we desire to be; but the Ordeal is upon us- to learn to work together, to cooperate with one another, to band together for those principles we know are right, even if it means risking our safety and security... because if we do not do it, no one will.
It requires the passion and integrity to step above and beyond the conditions we find ourselves in; it requires the courage to take risks, with our bodies and our minds- to risk even imprisonment or death itself in order to prove to the world that we have what it takes. It requires the activity of dynamic intelligence to be able to handle any situation with maximum efficiency. It requires one to move against the grain, against the status quo in order to make real changes. The majority is unhealthy, in body and mind, and thus there is no check, no point of comparison for the individual save what the individual can discover on their own.
What is being set up is a complete system and network to allow for all aspects of this Transformation, to give rise to this mutation. It can not be stopped if it is decentralized and non-local. It is magical, and thus also lives in non-linear time. It works with the subtle forces of teh human brain/body complex, which intertwines itself inextricably with matter itself. Its conception is one of self perfection, the realization of the autonomy of the individual, the manifestation of all latent powers of the human nervous system. Utilizing all techniques of self realization, cleaning out all energy system, refocusing the self into itself, we will come to a new Renaissance, a dawning of a new Light upon all of civilization.
The Ancient sciences will be revitalized with a new Civilization, a new structure which is perfectly in line with the ancient hermetic, alchemical and magical traditions of the past, blended with the technology of the present to give rise to a type of human which has never before been witnessed- the god man, the beginning of the 5th kingdom. This is all realized within the bounds of the Black Hole, for it is a structure which is defined by the random, free and vital processes of life itself; not the structures of man, but the structure of Universal Consciousness.
Matter us vitally alive, alive in the fullest truest sense of the world. The shimmering of atoms is in fact the luminous energy of Consciousness itself, and is the basis of our our minds, our own beings. There is nothing that is not alive, from suns to rocks to inorganic molecules, all is the combination and recombination of the stuff of mind. As it dawns on us as a species to see this all as one Singularity, one single phenomena which perception, for convenience, breaks up into pieces to analyze and compare, we can begin to wake up to our own legacy and heritage, and begin to create the World which we know is possible.
We are not yet born; the pain of the world is the pain of childbirth. The Singularity is near, and then something New will arise into a space beyond our current Vision. We are Waking up; we are breaking free of our cocoon; we are remembering what we are...
12:51 pm - 4 dimensional art I was asked today by my dad to explain my concept of 4 dimensional art. What follows is a decent attempt at outlining the basics of what it is, and how I am using it. I am sure it will bring many different associations for people out there. Please, let me know your thoughts on the Project, what you see in it, how you think it could be used, etc. I am very curious about feedback on this matter....
"The concept of 4 dimensional art is hard to understand without a few basic premises, which can be verified of course by the best method, that of science (trial and error and direct observation.) The truth of these premises, however, is not very easy to argue since one can not "prove them" to someone else unless someone does the experiments to get the experiences. The premises are based upon the observation that there is no actual distinction between mind and matter; the dichotomy is a convenient one for the primate to deal with the world, but there is no way to unravel the subject from the object, the viewed from the viewer. It is also based upon principles of ancient Esoteric Schools, which taught that the human mind can impress forms onto reality to cause change; historically, this has been called Magick. The definition of magick given by the occultist and hermeticist Aleister Crowley is as follows: Magick is the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with will. The basic mechanisms by which magick is accomplished is through symbol; thus Art itself is inherently magcial- it embodies an intension, it houses a "spirit" which then moves through the constructed reality matrix causing change. In this sense, the success of apiece of Art depends upon the purity of intent of the artist...
However, I digress. Though these ideas may seem a little outrageous to any mind running an "operating system" which does not support the occurrence of synchronistic, spontaneous manifestions of desire, within their own operating system, they are quite valid. All that is required is the shift of perception. 4-D art takes these concepts to a new level, where one creates a construct of Reality, a labyrinth of ideas and energies which lead the viewer down a rabbit hole; it is essentially sculpting a new reality definition- a new operating system, if you will. To do this, the Artist themselves must become the piece of artwork (hearkening back to Gandhi's "become the change you wish to see in the world.") As this occurs, as the Artist becomes the Artwork, all people that view the person, and the artifacts that person produces, the get sucked into the artwork; the ideas themselves by which 4d dimensional artwork is created, the palette of the artist, are designed to be a strange loop- they create a feedback distortion in the viewers conceptions of themselves, their world, and the 4d art being viewed; the best analogy is that of putting two mirrors facing each-other, which creates and infinite regression- it casts of forms.
When the viewer starts to interact with the Art, they themselves begin to participate in the creation of the artwork- as soon as they begin thinking about the ideas, the concepts, and interact with the artifacts of the Artist, they themselves begin to co-create the artwork. This is because the Artwork itself is composed of definitions of Reality, and the Art is produced by questioning definitions of Reality itself; as a person questions and explores, they themselves generate new artifacts in the environment which feed back in to the art.
With those basic ideas in mind, we can move to the use of the website. Certain images, words, concepts and ideas can all be utilized to create changes in the brain of the viewer; they infect their reality, causing not just the normal reaction, but a series of willed coincidences in their life even when they are not viewing the work itself; in some ways, it is the use of suggestion to effect changes (in the way that if i write "do not think of the color green" you inevitably do- however, this principles is applied in much subtler ways.) The website will be an interactive domain of related concepts; the goal is to make a website which is dynamic, driven by some form of AI which learns as users interact with it. As the user digs deeper into the website, more coincidences will infect their lives, moving them into the black hole of eventual Singularity. As they move inwards, they also move outwards- since this artwork is 4D so called, it HAS to be connected to physical places and people; thus the participants in the website will move closer into proximity to the heart of the artwork, the group of Creators of the website. This will open them into a whole new world, where the ideas and concepts they interacted with are not just lifeless ideas, but are vital expressions of a reality which is being lived by the Artists themselves.
This whole construct allows us to begin to redefine the boundaries of reality for anyone choosing to participate; it will challenge all current conceptions, from the use of money, ethics, god, the universe, the nature of humanity, technology, agriculture- it will uproot the deepest tendencies we tend to take for granted about the world we live in; and it will allow the users to begin to take back their own power to define based upon their own intelligence and their highest ideals about the world.
The Artwork also goes a step further by adding in a form of Live Action Roleplaying; much like those games "an evening of murder"but taken to the extreme. Each participant in this "game" plays themselves. Their job is to be a detective of sorts, to uncover a plot line which is unfurled for them in their every day life; the game masters of the game create situations through NPC's, actors given direction to initiate certain information in the lives of the players. The story would slowly unfold; however, the magical part of this whole is that the players are not allowed to talk about the game, thus they never know is an event was planned ahead of time, or is "actually happening". Such suspended belief allows for the maximum amount of randomness and synchronicity to occur, and in tandem with the website, would allow the highest potential for the unfoldment of the Artwork itself. There would be a team of people all "writing" the story for the Game as it unfolds, generating encounters for the participants in order to keep the direction moving properly; it would be written as the story itself unfolds, interacting and playing with the players rather than having a static conception of a set "story." In this way, as well, as people participate, as they do deeper down the rabbit hole, they begin themselves to help to write the story, thus again becoming an interaction of the Project (the 4d art).
The whole thing can be seen as a strategy for changing peoples current conceptions of the world in a fun, dynamic way; a form of participatory ontological anarchism. It then becomes a vessel for new ideas which normally do not get much thought by the outside world; and the whole thing it still under the heading of "art".
12:00 pm I know this is already circulating, but I couldnt resist....
"Endarkenment envisages a medicine advanced as it might have been if money and the State had never appeared, medicine for earth, animals and humans, based on Nature, not on promethean technology. Endarkenment is not impressed by medicine that prolongs “life span” by adding several years in a hospital bed hooked up to tubes and glued to daytime TV, all at the expense of every penny ever saved by the patient (lit. “sufferer”) plus huge debts for children and heirs. We’re not impressed by gene therapy and plastic surgery for obscene superrich post humans. We prefer an empirical extension of “medieval superstitions” of Old Wives and herbalists, a rectified Paracelsan peoples’ medicine as proposed by Ivan Illich in his book on demedicalization of society.
"Politically Endarkenment proposes anarcho-monarchism, in effect somewhat like Scandinavian monarcho-socialism but more radical, with highly symbolic but powerless monarchs and lots of good ritual, combined with Proudhonian anarcho-federalism and Mutualism. Georges Sorel (author of Reflections on Violence) had some anarcho-monarchist disciples in the Cercle Proudhon (1910-1914) with whom we feel a certain affinity. Endarkenment favors most separatisms and secessions; many small states are better than a few big ones. We’re especially interested in the break-up of the American Empire.
Culturally Endarkenment aims at extreme neo-Romanticism and will therefore be accused of fascism by its enemies on the Left. The answer to this is that (1) we’re anarchists and federalists adamantly opposed to all authoritarian centralisms whether Left or Right. (2) We favor all races, we love both difference and solidarity, not sameness and separation. (3) We reject the myth of Progress and technology—all cultural Futurism—all plans no matter their ideological origin—all uniformity—all conformity whether to organized religion or secular rationalism with its market democracy and endless war.
Endarkenists “believe in magic” and so must wage their guerrilla through magic rather than compete with the State’s monopoly of techno-violence. Giordano Bruno’s Image Magic is our secret weapon. Projective hieroglyphic hermeneutics. Action at a distance through manipulation of symbols carried out dramaturgically via acts of Poetic Terrorism, surrealist sabotage, Bakunin’s “creative destruction”—but also destructive creativity, invention of hermetico-critical objects, heiroglyphic projections of word/image “spells”—by which more is meant (always) than mere “political art”—rather a magical art with actual dire or beneficial results. Our enemies on the Right might call this political pornography and they’d be (as usual) right. Porn has a measurable physiopsychological effect. We’re looking for something like it, definitely, only bigger, and more like Artaud than Brecht—but not to be mistaken for “Absolute Art” or any other platonic purism—rather an empirical strategic “situationist” art, outside all mass media, truly underground, as befits Endarkenment, like a loosely structured “rhizomatic” Tong or freemasonic conspiracy."
It would seem that many of the concepts both actively in my readings, the essay I am working on, and on this blog are being expressed quite eloquently by others; of course, what I am becoming increasingly interested in is application; the creation of a new form of Secret Society; one aimed at the youth, the dreamers and the alternative-intelligentia. A structure made perfect to spread the Cultural Virus I have been spending so long designing. The tong, as Bey calls it, is the the structure of immediating experience and bringing it back to the present moment of gratification; joy as rebellion- compassion as revolution. He hearkens to a movements of people returning back to the older technologies which are in fact the new technologies; and we take what is best from all cultures, from the remnants amidst the rubble of the post-modern deconstruction we have done of both mind and matter.
The idea of Green Hermeticism puts the perfect label upon what i have been working on thus far; many of the reinforcers in the environment I am working with are environmentally based- many green conscious people; i have met, in the past month or two, two separate people slowly building earth ships; one utilizing basic principles of sacred geometry, both to grow plants and build buildings. I am networking with many people with the knowledge necessary to begin to restructure the very principles of our Reality.
To challenge constructs via ontological anarchy and poetic terrorism as our act of war against the American Citadel of Capitalistic Corporate control as well as to recreate our own definitions of reality based upon immediate experience; technology which is helpful, combining magick and technology into an unforseen fusion. To take the best of all worlds, and as artists, redefine what we are capable of; and to make this redefining into a mass movement- to incorporate the magical revolution, arm it, educate it (and wash the brains of the Potentials so scrub away the cultural indoctrination of current cultural values). To begin to see the dawn of a new light take over, to wash across the entire globe.
To do it all is requiring slow building, networking, and most importantly, a certain amount of secrecy. If we can network all the groups, organize them, get them all supporting a similar structure, what is simply a scattering of disparate movements could become a massive force to be reckoned with; subversion via non-participation, and the participation in the creation of something wholly new. Not a return to old forms of dead ages past, but a reawakening of a more primal technology which is alive in all; the watering of the seeds of gnosis, the Awakening of Global Intelligence.
The methods for such are slowly in the works; yet 89's aim is to be a black whole which siphons out what is necessary from what is not, and to place it intelligently amongst an orderly system based upon the principles of Inherant Intelligence- that everything is Alive- and everything is One life, breathing, growing and expanding- matter is not dead, and we are vitally, if not wholly, everything once we stop defining our limitations. It works on the premise that mind and matter are the same thing, and proceeds therefrom. It challenges all current conceptions of what is "real" and it breaks down all rigid structures of dogma and belief. It is the fight for true Liberty- the Liberty to define ones own reality for oneself. Where once the revolution of liberty was for monetary gain, the new revolution will be the fight for ones Reality; the realization that we have been screwed out of our ability to manifest our dreams. Real Liberty is Freedom from others definitions, a freedom to explore the unknown shores of constructs of Reality freely, without shame, and without the imposition of any body upon any other body except my mutual agreement.
There will be an outbreak of Infection, and the Ideas will spread like wildfire once it is ready to.... many are seeding the ideas, and many are waiting to network.
03:30 pm - Brewing... As we breach through this veil, liquid passing into veins, visions injected and downloaded via energetic neural pathways of quantum information, patterns unfold. Reality is extension of self, change self, reality has to change. How far are we taking this? Over the whole planet, subsumed into one greater Vision; the true Kingdom spread over the whole earth. We are dreaming insane visions, and our doubt is dissolving in the ekstasis of creation; we are overwhelmed in a whirlwind of passionate fury. Hearts leap up with fire to consume all the world, to bring madness and passion. PAN PAN! IO PAN! Like a great mad man, frothing and foaming in the heart of this adytum; yet calm without. Deadly and swift, intellects grasp with dreams kiss, the making of a new Earth. Within this Dream we all swirl into One, no more distinctions, only Love which has united the divided; into the kisses of infinite space we swim with an untold frenzy.
We invoke the highest god, the embrace of Azathoth, beyond time, dreaming all the dreams of this world, forms pass and swirl; chaos resides in this heart, and it spreads as a virus to blur all lines, to destroy all selves, to burn all up back into the fire from whence they came; the earth waits to give birth, through her Children, all One, all None- the Storm passing into sight, a mad breakout from all form of conditioning, pleasure and power, length of days; joy and revelry, destruction and creation; I invoke upon all culture the highest pitch of passion, the animal pleasure blended with the highest sacred; all innocence wiped away, diving into the unformed state before the birth of innocence; not thinking, for never having come. Rise, dear Dream! Consume all in your longing! Dream of better ways, better earths! Dream of the Dawn of a World without Sin, a world free f dogma and restriction; a world informed by what is most Divine us! Light the spark in our hearts that we may Shine upon the world in a blaze of creation!
People will scream and moan that we are evil, yet let them! For it is only the disgust in their own souls which they fear; they are of the slaves that perish and are not of us! We are the Powerful, the Mighty, the Compassionate; we are all one together in this infinite promise; here, there is only Love between All, and those who love not are the enemies of Love and them we are come against! We will no longer sit still, no longer cry to the world; we will recreate it in our own image, we will bring something better in. Through us, the world will be healed, not by any other, for we are the Children of a new Race- the maladapted product of a corrupt culture; we see through their lies, and we are come to tear it all down, to free people from the tyranny of Guilt and Shame and Fear. None shall stand before Us!
Let the insurrection begin! Let the chains be cast off, let the Artists of Reality take up their tools, let those in bondage be freed; let those in ignorance be instructed; let all other emotions fall away and leave Love to unite us all in one greater Vision of the world! Let the Voices rise up as One, united and armed; let us all take a stand together, peacefully yet forcefully; let us all say no more to this all; to this society of consumption disease and pollution. Take up your Pens and Brushes, take up your Mind against the world you find yourself in! This is only the Beginning... let the clouds of our Wrath cover the planet! Rise, serpent, in the Hearts of those Called; oh azure lidded woman, bend your infinite body upon them, free them of their restrictions and pains; cast of the Old and embrace the New! Love in Light, in Power, in Triumph and Victory! The future is Ours.
11:42 am - Economic Collapse anyone? A friend emailed this article to me; this is the closing to it, but the whole thing is great (link at the bottom to it.) It would seem that even people that know the market well see that local communities are the only way to do things; and the potential here could get very bad, or could only be a blip. I for one am preparing for worst case scenario. "After a certain point, consumers just won’t be able to pay their bills. Even though they’ve paid the cost of their purchases several times over, they’re simply buried in interest and interest on the interest, sometimes compounding at a rate of 30 or 40 percent per year. The creditors know this, which is why they’ve sold a lot of this debt to other banks, pension plans, money market funds…you get the picture: the kinds of places where we invest our retirement money. The banks invested in us; we were the assets. Now that we’re about to go broke, they’re busy selling us to other financial institutions in a game of musical chairs that will cost the last debtholder a lot of money. Of course, unless we can convince some foreign sheiks to buy some lousy US assets with their oil money, that last debt holder will end up being you and me.
Over the past few months I’ve spoken to top strategists at some of the biggest banks in the world, and they share my perception of the scenario. Most of them are “holding cash” as their main investment strategy, spread out over a few of the major currencies. Those making money are doing so by short-selling shares of other companies in the same finance industry that they supposedly work for.
The bigger picture, of course, is that speculation just worked too well for too long. The disparity between the market values and real values (rich people and poor people) got too large. Every asset class, even money itself, got too expensive. We became more valuable for our borrowing power than our labor—which also meant there was no way to work off our debt. Meanwhile, the people using reality as an investment vehicle have overwhelmed the real economy on which their “structured investments” are based.
Sure, this has happened before. It’s just that, traditionally, when wealth disparity got too great and there wasn’t enough money in the right places, the wealthiest bankers temporarily suspended their greed to bail out the system. Or progressive tax policies opened corporate coffers, permitting a “New Deal” that employed people while rebuilding the infrastructure required to make real things and provide real services to citizens.
Today, however, such temporary restraints on greed are systematically untenable and philosophically unthinkable. Conservatives are still so angry about New Deal reforms of the 1930s that that they have infused politics and banking with an economic ideology that sees any regulation of worker exploitation or predatory investment as anti-capitalist, anti-American, and even anti-God.
So instead we are the beneficiaries of “wink” reform: stuff that’s supposed to make us feel good while reassuring the speculators that their interests will remain paramount. A few hundred dollars mailed to every American family creates the illusion that government is lending a helping hand, but this money is not redistributing anything. It’s being taken from the same people who are receiving it, in the hope that they’ll just pump it back into the system at Wal-Mart or the Exxon station.
Whether the coming economic crisis will be deep or shallow is left to be seen. We may be at the start of the kind of depression our grandparents lived through in the ’30s, or we may simply experience what our parents lived through back in the ’70s. Foreign investment trusts may come in and buy our biggest banks and turn us into global citizens through the very World Bank policies we were hoping would turn all of them into US vassals.
Whatever the case, the best thing you can do to protect yourself and your interests is to make friends. The more we are willing to do for each other on our own terms and for compensation that doesn’t necessarily involve the until-recently-almighty dollar, the less vulnerable we are to the movements of markets that, quite frankly, have nothing to do with us.
If you’re sourcing your garlic from your neighbor over the hill instead of the Big Ag conglomerate over the ocean, then shifts in the exchange rate won’t matter much. If you’re using a local currency to pay your mechanic to adjust your brakes, or your chiropractor to adjust your back, then a global liquidity crisis won’t affect your ability to pay for either. If you move to a place because you’re looking for smart people instead of a smart real estate investment, you’re less likely to be suckered by high costs of a “hot” city or neighborhood, and more likely to find the kinds of people willing to serve as a social network, if for no other reason than they’re less busy servicing their mortgages.
The more connected you are to the real world, and the more consciously you reject the lure of the speculative ladder, the less of a willing dupe you’ll be in the pyramid scheme that’s in the process of collapsing all around us at this moment.
Think small. Buy local. Make friends. Print money. Grow food. Teach children. Learn nutrition. And if you do have money to invest, put it into whatever lets you and your friends do those things." Link
04:39 pm - Cynical Intellect Man oh man, what a crazy day of words words words. My afternoon got wrapped up in a debate in a forum I belong to, and did it ever get to me; it subsumed almost my whole afternoon which i had intended to spend packing. Instead, there is this as a product, which I will share because I was pissed off enough to almost make myself laugh at my own cynicism... so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it...
"What I find so funny about all this is that, even in arguing about it all, we are still all living off a system which is one of the most poorly designed pieces of crap in the world; waste is unintelligent, yet it is economically positive- we rape our environment and resources then we build and produce more than anyone can consume and then dump the rest. We are still producing new cars every year even though there are fewer and people people to buy them to; and in the end only one car company will survive the race anyways; in the meantime, to sell a product which itself destroys our environment, we level forests, we smelt mass amounts of ore, all so we can have our "competitive market" and in the end, after all that, we only have one on top? That makes very little sense to me. We do not live on a planet with infinite resources; yet we behave like we are. That attitude and any system which is based upon it is bound to die eventually because, guess what, resources are FINITE and we need to manage them intelligently as a whole planet, not as separate little lines conceived in childish mens minds on a piece of paper and then fought over. What we are doing is not in line with the aims of evolution in terms of intelligence- but then again gurdjieff did once ask "Is there intelligent life on earth?"
The goal of our system is to create stupidity; to breed the consumer, the herd animal. Our education is a farce and a scam which creates only specialists for the few generalists to take advantage of. Does it train people in dynamic, active curiosity and hands on learning? No. It caters to the lowest common denominator. The "ivy league" schools are as much a part of feeding it all back into the system as the rest. S stupid populace is a populace that gets addicted to things; keep them miserable, and they keep on consuming shit you tell them they need. Happy, healthy, intelligent people dont consume- intelligence would see that harming ones environment is bad for it, that pumping cigarette smoke into the lungs of its body is bad for it; it would see that television is a distraction from actually doing things are participating in life; it would also see that alcohol makes it stupider and makes it numb. Does the economy want happy, clean people? No. It wants diseased people that are numb because that is what will make it the most money.
Capitalism doesnt make any sense to me; it is wasteful and blind. It is fueled by what makes the most, and gives rise to lying, cheating, scamming; I dont see the value in having 6 companies all be producing the same thing in order to compete for my business; sure, in the end, IDEALLY, we have the best product, but to get there, it is all WASTE. If we just started intelligently in the beginning, and applied our brains together we would have the same great product without the waste.
Anything permanent does not produce money. At this point in our technology, we could set up a house which runs off of wind and solar panels; it would produce all its own food through sustainable permaculture; all the human waste would feed into a system where the gas is extracted to be used by the house, and the de-methanated shit is used as fertilizer. All other aspects of our lives could be made fully sustainable, where people only need to buy a thing once and it is permanent; whereas now, we build obsoletion into cars so they will break down and people have to buy another one. It is not economically viable that a person only needs to buy one car that will last them the rest of their lives (or at least as long as oil lasts.) Permanent products, and permanent living dont make money for people. Nor does efficient, cheap and natural housing; Buckminster Fuller designed a house made out of cardboard, designed to insulate extremely well, to withstand winds and rains of up to 100km/h- they weigh less than a ton and cost less that $5000 to produce. Would we use these? Hell no. I am sure such ideas make giant house companies shit themselves.
We cannot ignore natural selection; but nor can we define it, as people here seem to be trying to do. It exists in nature as a function of nature; we may make a system which appears to hold it back, but that is only illusion. When this system falls apart, which is inevitable, natural selection will kick into overdrive. Certain types I am sure will be selected over other types; I would speculate that those who survive will be the intelligent types that see it coming and prepare for it by working together; in which case, we may very well see what is best in humans beings selected at that point- the ability to work together, applied dynamic intelligence working directly with its environment, people who can live in harmony with nature and not fuck it over like we as a culture are doing right now; it may be perhaps that the only technology that will survive the coming cataclysm will be that which helps to clean and sustain the environment as opposed to destroy it. That is speculation, but with the direction of things, it seems likely that all the stupid people will die off, either through lack of ability or through lack of cooperation; hopefully, many of them living urban centers and other places will all just kill each other off and leave a small band of stupid strong people that the larger intelligent bands can just pick off.
Speculations aside, my point is that we can argue about natural selection all we want; but right now, we live in a system set up by men which is not in line with nature; we are in the control of man made system as opposed to natural system. Now I am not saying this is "unnatural" since I am well aware of the fact that we are part and parcel of nature; but what I am pointing out is that man in his hubris, stupidity or ignorance, has decided to take the role of nature to decide who lives and who dies; in fact, with our wonderful moral code that all life is "precious" and our wonderful capitalistic system in which everyone is useful and beneficial because they are a consumer, we see more mediocre types surviving than I am rather sure nature would like to see; nature herself weeds our the retards, the malformations, etc simply by having a dynamic level system; ours is static, it does not create selection based upon principles on what is evolutionarily advantageous in terms of the progression of the species--- rather it selects based upon the ability to fuck over ones fellow human being and ones environment. Why? Because that is what makes money. Extorting children, slave labor in the sugar industry, horrible living standards combined with mass indoctrination as in china... all of that is the product of a bad idea. Because we have the ability to make models, and behave as though they are real, we set up system which are not based upon observations of nature, but based only upon our limited information combined with our agenda. If we modeled ourselves based on the observation of nature, things would be very different; as it stands, man seems to think he can ignore nature, or that he can simply do better. It is that hubris that got us where we are- dying slowly as a species.
However, I dont see many points to "argue" because when the system comes falling down, when the walls start to crumble; when the system becomes so top-heavy, it drives itself to destruction, then we can see nature in action. We may not come to that; we may be able to all band together as a species, communicate, participate and do something about our planet and our corrupt leaders; maybe it will just be a velvet revolution. That is what i would like to see, and am aiming for.... but gotta have a backup plan in case shit hits the fan sooner than expected. Global warming could fuck us any day is the glaciers start to crack off en mass, which will happen sooner rather than later.
Oh, and as a final point; everything is "free" in that nature does not use money. The only thing that does is human labor, and thats only because we ask for it. I find it almost comical how people cant think outside the box that is money, as though it were some absolute necessity to life and that we couldn't do things any better. Money is a construct, and idea, which we have allowed to run our lives; or rather, we have allowed those who print the money to run our lives. The real system of control is those who MAKE the money; so long as we use their currencies, we allow them complete freedom to do whatever they damn well please without any kind of reprimand. Currency is Power. The american government doesnt care what its people do, so long as they keep using those little green pieces of paper.... because it is those which give them the real power; the power to create and control economy.
We can talk about justice all we want, the moral good, and blah blah blah... but so long as anyone allows their lives and their interactions with others to be defines by a third party, they are not free. I think it is the biggest scam, and almost laughable if I werent so pissed off (and it is quite genius) that a group of highly influential people decided to control is population by controlling its currency; and since the whole thing is private, no one can see if their money is actually WORTH anything real (which it isnt any more.) If I started a currency, and tried to get my friends to use it, but said "oh, sorry, but you cant make your own. If you do, i will throw you in a maximum security box" they would probably laugh at me. Yet if I did manage it, I would have complete control of their lives once their brains are hard-wired with a fight/flight reflex to my pieces of paper.
Make your people think they can "have it all" and define what "all" is through media, and then get them to use your currency to buy the products you tell them they need in the first place... it is ingenius. Breed fear in the populace, disconnect them from one another so they need the support of the media and the government; train them to be consumers, create lies like post-modern for the intellectual to keep them busy in a strange loop; make them think they can not get by without your currency... then you set up borders and passports so they cant leave even if they wanted to; put in place a bill, like the partriot act, which allows you to walk all over the rights that your people believe they have because you tell them they do... and you create a beautiful system of control. Makes levels and levels of beaurocratic bullshit and red tape, design the system to basically be decentralized with a farce called "democracy" which is really just a scam to begin with since all parties are puppets for the money makers....man oh man, if I were a little more corrupt, a little more cynical, or just had no feelings, I would see this as almost beautiful in its design. As it stands, I want to see it all destroyed....
Even our education... raise people to need you to tell them what is "real" and what isnt, dictate their reality to them; tell them they need your certification to get a job in a system which you control and own in the first place... and then get them to PAY you for that certification, then you feed them back into the system that told them they needed your accreditation in the first place... and the whole time, your education system is destroying their creative curiosity because it is designed to train specialists to jump through hoops for you... create social status in your science and technology institutions so anyone with an idea that is potentially threatening can just be laughed out of the community; and anyone else feels bullied to keep quiet about their ideas for change and reform lest they loose their social recognition. Give people gold stars for being good with a kind word, or lock them up or torture them is you dont like what they are doing. Why? Because, as said elsewhere, you have made your people "comfortably numb."
Oh, and we cant forget media consumption! We could even call it "programming". We will cram culture that we define down their throats, define their constructs of social behavior with cultural norms; we can make every sitcom involve the nuclear family, they can all be striving to get the next biggest TV, watch sports, drink beer; we can filter all their news and what they know about the outside world so they will believe what we want them to. Between their culturally indoctrinating shows, we can put sound bites of commercials to inform them about products we want them to buy but they dont really need. We can show them images of skinny thin people, our image of beauty, so they buy the products we produce to make them look good because we make them feel bad... and while they sit on their ass, we can feed them shitty food that is addictive and bad for them, which will also support the growing cancer industry we have created with all the products we sell that cause it; and then we get people hooked on our drugs as well, and if anyone disagrees with us, we can jail them or, even better, send them to one of our accredited specialists in "normal reality" to plus them back in to our system; we will define a thing called "crazy" and then if anyone is any of these things we have defined, we can call them mentally sick, and tell them they need our help to get better... and then we just pump them right back into our system again....
it is truly a beautiful thing... now, if you can please help untangle me from I would support to be my "crazy thoughts" on the world, and help me see the light of capitalism in a positive way, i would gladly welcome being wrong about all this.... as it stands, the only thing I can morally do is seek the downfall of the entire thing...."
03:23 pm - IO PAN! "PAN. Shrill, shrill Over the hill! The hunter is hot - this is the kill! Scream! Scream! Dissolving the dream Of life, the knife to the heart of the wife! The fountain jets Its flood of blood, And the moss that it wets Is an amethyst flame of violets.
Who shall escape Murder and rape What I am alive in my solemn shape? Shrill, shrill, Over the hill! The hunter is hot - this is the kill! The heart of the home Is a fury of foam; The storm is awake, and the billows comb. But though I be Their frenzy of glee, I am also the passionless soul of the sea!
Mine eyes glint fire, And my cruel lips curl; Mine the desire Of the god and the girl; But fierier and fleeter, And subtler and sweeter Than the race of the rhythm, the march of the metre, Is the shrilling, shrilling Of the knife in the killing That ends, when it must, (O the throb and the thrust!) In a death, in the dust, The silence, the stillness, of satiate lust, The solemn pause When the veil withdraws And man looks on his god, on the Causeless Cause. Still, still, Under the hill!"
02:26 pm - cataclysm encroaching The process of change and upheaval is not an easy one; to break down our security, to admit that we are not what we thought; that we are someone else's creation; yet unless we take back our ability to define our reality, to paint beautiful pictures full of feeling and warmth, how can we ever find the Liberty we desperately seek? how to find truth when all we are told is lies?
No, it isn't easy. It is painful, when reason untrue tells us to stay back, to hunker down, to give ourselves up because the situation is hopeless. We wander each and every day amidst the mad forms of someone else's creations, allowing others to define our clothes, our houses, our entertainment, our food, even the very ways we think and perceive the world around us; we wander in this madhouse of mirrors, with no way out, and yet not enough rage to smash the mirrors and find the exit. I have become so tired of all of this; I want to tear it all down, from the inside out- I want to dream a better dream, because this one has turned into a nightmare of slaves and fearful animals.
We are a scared species because we scare each other; we pump shit into the minds of our population, shit that propagates fear of others, fear of nature, fear of Reality; it pacifies, it soothes, that fear with its fake education, its prozac, its acceptance, its "norm". The greatest lie it tells us is that we have to be normal, we have to fit in, and if we don', we need to feel ashamed for being different. It forces us into boxes, into specializations, and it goes on raping the planet for all it can.
What do we do? We run around trying to change it all, but at the end of the day, who makes the money? Who has the money makes the rules. If we keep on using their currency, keep on playing by their rules, listening to their dogma, this will never change, and we will all die. All that we can do is take back our ability to define; take back our ability to question- to learn to question everything- question every authority, be they educational, political, or religious. We must learn to take back our reality by taking back our experiences- to learn to think dynamically in the moment, based upon direct experience of who and what we are; not filtered through media, through culture, through literature; but to begin to explore the very ground of Being for ourselves.
So much of what we think is possible is based upon media and culture we have been fed; it is based upon commercials, political campaigns, religious creeds, social laws, advertisements; even the common banal things our every day lives such as the shape and function of a house, the types of clothes, the environment around us. Somehow, at some point, something was taken from us; but we done even know what it is. As Robert Anton Wilson put it about the new kids: "They only realize, vaguely, that somebody has screwed them out of something, but they don't have enough zest or bile to try to find out who screwed them and what they were screwed out of."
I am so very tired of not fighting back, of not simply refusing to be owned or defined by someone else. I am tired of stupidity and mediocrity ruling the world, tired of having to live for someone else that I didn't agree to; tired of supporting something I do not agree with on principle. I know we have been screwed out of something; that something is a reality free of pollution, free of indoctrination; from birth, they fed us culture, from the pink or blue that we wore to the toys they made available to us. They removed us from our nature, and turned us into consumers as early as possible. the screwed us out of magick, out of the power of the human spirit; they crushed out our dreams and stifled out curiosity; they turned our free childish laughs into polite chuckles. They took all the fun out of life, all the mystery, all the excitement in an attempt to get us to comply...
yet, we are waking up, becoming aware of the great Scam, the big Lie... they didn't think we would see it, that we would look at it all, and go "you've got to be kidding me?!" We know this is a pile of crap, a huge ball of beurocratic bullshit that we somehow are supposed to accept... and why? because they say it is for the social good? that we have to accept and feed in to it because this is what "the people" want? says who?
What can we do? Well, for one thing, we can stop arguing, start communicating, and start getting something done. We are all scattered, yet together, there are enough of us to really make a big difference; but it is not desirable that we all know this; it is not desirable that we get together, because there is power in numbers, and if we are kept separate, by distance or by fear, we will not begin to wake up. How do we fight against it though? By representing everything it isn't; truth, fellowship and kinship, participation and co-operation, sustainability and permanence, life affirming and love affirming; we become in reality everything they claim they are, but are not.
To do it all requires big steps, big risks, and lots of adventure; there is no promise of reward, no safety and security for the future... essentially, it will be living life in a full way, with no expectation of a long life, but with all of ones being on the brink of destruction at all times, pushing change, pushing growth. In essence, living the way all other life on this planet lives, day by day; but with the power of our neocortex to be planning the next steps for us. We need to be active, dynamic intelligence, not static and theoretical. We need to all band together and start processing as one large unit, each fulfilling separate functions of a greater whole.
But it wont come easy. It requires sacrifice, diligence, perseverance, dedication... basically, it requires what any major movement requires: it requires your whole life. There is no half in half out. You can wait and see it as it grow, but sooner or later you are on the boat or off of it. There can be no energetic leaks in the plan, no weak links in the chain. But if you can handle it; if you are endowed the the passion, the drive, the intelligence, the willingness to participate and share, and if you have a dream for this world, then start opening yourself to the current of Change and Revolution which is trickling through all of our collective consciousness's. Open to the Light and let it come through. Find your voice, and find the Others...
01:10 am - from what? "when we look at pictures of ourselves, we see only mirrors reflecting ourselves looking. We can no more step outside than we can put ourselves back together. I look out at this deconstruction I see rushing all around me, and I see what insanity means. i see it in this society, so fractured, so broken; running from itself, caught in a post-modern whirlwind of its own devising. Culture is our reality in that we allow ourselves to be defined by it; we let it tell us that it defines us. It entraps us in its tendrils. Yet we, so blind to the meaning and the wonder we create; all of us such bad artists, creating only misery and slavery. We, seeking to find some comfort, create gods and demons, create lovers and ideals in some attempt to escape....... from what??? To escape from living a life of mystery? We strive so hard to grasp it all, we build models in our minds so accurate they mirror what goes on "outside" of us--- but we are no more finding truth. We are simply tracing lines over it all, tracing lines over what we perceive to be there. We create tools to expand our perceptions of it, yet those tools only show us what we designed them to show.
Trapped are in a devilish hell of confusion. This is all insanity. Even our psychology derives itself from the common norm, and the norm is what is crazy. Those who deviate, they are the divine prophets, the holy fools, the madmen wandering in the gardens of morpheus. They see the stories unfolding; they see other models, outside of our accepted boundaries. They force new perspective, new thought, new dissent. the scientific paradigm is not the end; it is the shell we must break free from; it is the Citadel, supporting the Black Iron Prison we find ourselves trapped within, feeding some demiurge which entraps us to our three dimensions.
We were lied to. This is not how it has to be. i want to tear it all down; all their safety and security, all the falsity and lies which hides the Truth from their eyes. But the Truth hurts. The truth is full of fear, of trembling. the Truth is staring into the face of the Infinite, to be annihilated and deafened by its silence; the confetti of its fractals scattered through us, feeding in to our Intelligence, fueling us and pressing us. To tear down the tracing paper lines to reveal the Mystery underneath, not fracture and break, once and for all, the illusion of individual self hood, to show the beautiful underlying impersonal, yet loving, Reality--- pure undifferentiated consciousness.
This all is a lie. Language moves, it creates images; but how bad are we as artists to have create monstrosities of stone and cement, cold and unfeeling? No more poetry to the world. Only faster cars and smaller cellphones. Where has our Vision gone? How to we break free of the post-modern baggage of the past? How to create aknew, joyously and feverishly, free from bondage, free of restriction? We were lied to; made to accept dogma as truth and prejudice for knowledge. We even pay to be fed more lies; to somehow be accepted into an established system we know we hate, and which we know we would destroy and rebuild rather than accept if we only had the choice... but we dont, do we?
Where is the responsibility in this Power to define we have been given? If we are going to define, let us define in beauty and joy, leaping laughter and delicious languor; let us cast off these chains of slavery and make something new, redefine the whole system, the whole model, the whole reality; let us build it into something better, something persisting, something worthy of the Power of the human Spirit. Let us Dream together, and redream this whole mess into something better....
If only more people truly cared enough to take it all back, and to cooperate in a task greater than themselves...."
10:03 am The next trip is for you, Dr. Hoffman. May you be remembered each time someones mind gets blown by your wonderful discovery, and may we as a species learn how touse it with intelligence and insight.
09:25 am - Comment to last post Brief note: this story is actually taken from a movie named "The Adventures of Mark Twain" taken from several unpublished Mark Twain works. Poking on Wikipedia, I came by what story this scene is from, an unfinished piece entitled "The Mysterious Stranger". It seems deeply gnostic, very mystic and extremely magical. The story, as told by wikipedia, is as follows:
"In 1590 a few boys are living happy sheltered lives in a remote Austrian village named Eseldorf (Esel literally means "donkey" in German, can refer to a "stupid person", and "dorf" means village, so in essence it is a village of stupid people), and one day, a handsome teenage boy named Satan (of the same angelic family, but not the real Satan, he tells them—actually, his nephew) appears, and performs several magical feats. Satan shares his ability to foresee the future and informs the group of unfortunate events that will soon befall those they care about. Of course, they don't believe the premonitions and it takes one of the predictions coming true to make believers out of them. Stan proceeds to inform them of each new tragedy that will befall their friends. The boys beg Satan to intercede, which he does but always from a cynical, technical definition of mercy ; i.e. instead of a lingering death or multiple deaths, someone they care for will die immediately. Mayhem ensues — witch trials, burnings, hangings, deaths, mass hysteria and redistribution of wealth "
The story is brilliant, with underpinnings of much deeper wisdom, perhaps informed by Twains masonic interest. It reflects the need for intelligence, not accepting or rejecting anything at face value; and to perceive, through that lense of clarity, the ultimate nature of self and reality. People, seeing what they think a "miracle" begin to "believe" which stifles and enslaves the mind. Satan teaches here that we must look beyond ourselves, our conceptions of individuality, of death; to not accept what he says one way or the other, but judge its merit based upon intelligence, not upon authority or dogma. Thus he is the Liberator of the Soul, the Gnostic Serpent deity which frees the divine spark from its thraldom of singular self and reality, of form and materiality; he is the Master of the Threshold. The town, being that of Stupid people, act of course to such "miracles" with fear, suspicious, distrust; stupidity is the disease to be eradicated, replaced by real Intelligence.
To finish this nice little segue, this also appears on the wikipedia article, which you can see the quote I put below in a much wider context. It speaks more than I think I could about the theme of the story itself. It is addressed to the children by Satan before he disappears.
"In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever--for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!...You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier. It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!"
There is something infinitely deeper here, something much larger in these words, in these ideas, and in the Intelligence lurking behind them that I will dare not speak about. I could say no better.
09:06 am - Lucifer as Enlightened Teacher in Childrens Cartoon
Disturbing? A little. Yet more so, far to relevant to be simply ignored. Its symbols to us speak so clearly. Satan is creative power, vision- male principle. He creates as he Wills. Yet humans, given form, given function, see the whole in terms of relative binary thinking as opposed to from the viewpoint of Enlightened Being. As a Teaching symbol, similar to the Baphomet of the Templars, he tests via fear, ordeal, etc to promote intelligent clear insight into the illusory nature of all phenomena. His actions, while appearing evil, nihilistic, etc. actual reveal a much deeper truth about the ultimate Nature of of Reality- it is Nothing. Conceptions of Self, of Other, are all illusory because the fundamental underlying matrix of creation is Nothingness. The sense of self, from which extends the body and thus all sensory phenomena, including the sensation of a Body, is all only a thought. In reality, all is void, emptiness, space, informed by a single Thought, a Word, the Logos.
Satan teaches here, testing the minds of the children, getting them to think of the value of Life, the purpose, if all is created and destroyed; he beckons them to look closer for themselves and to apply thought to the construct of the ability to think. Much as the Opposer, or the Fool, It teaches in ways incomprehensible to our levels of understanding.
Such beautiful tapestries of Light showered throughout this Space.
"Life itself is only a vision, a dream. Nothing exists save empty space and you, and you are but a thought."
09:24 pm - II, 25 "All will come again into its strength: the fields undivided, the waters undammed, the trees towering and the walls built low. And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land.
And no churches where God is imprisoned and lamented like a trapped and wounded animal. The houses welcoming all who knock and a sense of boundless offering in all relations, and in you and me.
No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond, no belittling death, but only serving what belongs to us and serving earth, lest we remain unused."
- Rilke, The Book of the Pilgrimage Current Mood: thankful
10:10 pm - Chaotic Idea "It would seem that the primalness of vision is rooted in the eyes, that of hearing in the ears, touch in the skin, taste in the mouth, speech in the throat, and so on; yet what is the origin of ideas? Some would say the mind, but the mind as a compiler and organizer of information. It does not create information, it retains it. It may create new links and pathways between its contents, thus giving new perspectives upon old information, but it does not necessarily create the idea.
the idea itself is a meaningless and intangible thing unless it is correlated to two things: an object external to the self and another idea. thus an idea in itself is exemplary of Chaos, the unbridled nothingness; containing no eyes or ears or mouth or nose, it circulates only in itself and experiences only itself. Thus all ideas are the interaction of chaos, meaningless and incoherent, yet coherent as their own structure, their own meaning.
the point of this diatribe is that every human being amidst this flux of chaos, and this experiential nothingness, longs to create. Yet creation itself appears as inane as the creations. The only way to overcome this is to create meaning, and meaning relies upon a negative, that which the meaning is not.
joy feels itself in the overcoming of obstacles, the loss of the "self" within the very act of motion itself, the identity with chaos, even briefly. All acts of creation, than, arise from a certain spontaneity, a joy in itself; and though creation cannot take place without meaning, the creation of meaning arises after the act of creation has taken place, since creation is a manifestation of idea, and idea is based upon desire, and both idea and desire are the bed-mates of chaos.
joy in creation rests, than, upon the ability to overcome the stagnant; to oppose that which opposes beauty; sadness and its exponents stem, then, from the opposite- from stagnation and intolerance; or in other words, sadness stems from the acceptance of current circumstances and the withdrawal of desire and transcendence.
Transcendence is the motivator of of desire, and desire the motivator of the will to creation, which is based upon idea.
A system can be seen building up within this structure created to house these ideas- all of which stem from chaos. This entire process is created with this vacuum, since each of those ideas is in direct correlation to the other ideas, and are rooted with the manifestation of the creation.
The purpose of these ideas is to show that creation, as an act of joy and transcendence, must directly oppose those structures which are outdated, decaying, and in opposition to change, beauty, freedom and the ability for that primal desire to express itself in any way it sees fit. the level of transcendence, and thus joy and power, is than a direct expression of the level of involvement in this opposition. the stronger the activity, the higher the freedom and joy.
it is thus always incumbent upon the artist, who is moved by desire and idea, and thus chaos, to always stand against all forms of organized structure which opposes its freedom. In this was creation becomes the ultimate celebration of change, and thus the ultimate weapon change has.
09:38 pm - Radiant Jewel The mind, as the Radiant Jewel, is the manifestor of our construct of reality. Not just our ideas, but literally the holographic representation of "reality" itself. The inner light, or Astral Light, is the substance which illuminates dreams; whatever we may deiced to call it, it is the force of the imaginative mind which can create holographic constructs free of outside signals. The Work involves taking control of nerve current, emotional states and the pattern forming functions of the mind in order to manifest the Pure Undifferentiated consciousness of perfect awareness. The alchemists called this perfected mind the "philosophers stone" able to transmute base metals into gold; this is both a metaphor for the perfection of consciousness as well as a veiled arcanum of a physical reality. However, speculatively, if there is no differentiation between mind and matter, and what we know of as matter is simply models about the projections our own consciousness makes in relation to an "objective reality" to things, the transmutation of a metal would require the parallel transmutation in the mind of the experimenter. This hearkens us back to the alchemical axiom "as above so below for the performance of the miracles of the One thing." Speculatively, this One thing is the radiant Mind, perfectly at harmony with the one underlying Reality, which is th every nature of both of matter and mind- the place where the universe around us is seen to be composed of consciousness.
Such a Radiant Jewel would become the supreme creator of our World; Objectified consciousness, otherwise termed "it". By its use and modification, apparent wonders can be made manifest; that through its perfect understanding we might learn to cause change to occur in conformity with will; magick, controlled coincidence. That our Mind creates our reality, that tour belief actual help to determine our experiential arena in the world brings power, and responsibility along with that power. So many people take no responsibility for the life they lead, creating constructs of blame and weakness which are projected onto other people and situations, which help to define that persons reality. That they give up their power is a matter of their choice; however, what is done with that persons power by active dynamic beings is another matter. To heal, each individual must be brought to a state of realization about the subtle forces at work within their own minds. To begin to take back the re-creation of reality, the re-definition of our world, is of the utmost paramount in our time of crisis.
The Project continues...
By what methods is this Power realized? How is the mind to be transmuted into the Philosophers Stone? That is one of the aims of 89, the introduction of these techniques, and their right understanding, to the individual, most especially the disempowered youth who are the slaves to a system they despise. As the Project continues and gains momentum, things will become clearer of their own accord; we here at the Project finally have a concrete grasp on the aims, functions and general methods of ourselves. With this, growth is inevitable; we will be unfurling much of this Virus as we are given to understand and articulate it more. What us important to keep in mind is the power the individual mind has to effect its entire reality, including that which is apparently separate form the self; what is the object as opposed to the subject; however, in Reality, this distinction does not exist- like much else, it is a human contrivance, as opposed to a material reality. As the sense of hardened reality lessens, more is made to manifest; however, to allow for this, the reliance upon monetary action must be withdrawn and new conceptions of cause and effect as well and means need to be placed. The more room within the reality structure that coincidence and willed change is given to manifest, the simpler, cleaner and more efficient the selfs capabilities will become. Methods and theories of such will be discussed in a later post- suffice to say that the limitations for manifestation are only as such as we define them, or allow them to be defined for us.
Ideas are infective; these are designed to cause change in the brain; to download a new current, a new model, into the head of the reader. It will allow for readjustment, and the manifestation of True Will via Pure Slack. Once a seed is planted, it will grow as it was designed to, and depending on the individual, the results will vary; however, all variances are in fact part of the overall change in the entire field. Once one has interacted with the Construct, it inevitable pulls one in; by its definition, it can do nothing else. Thus it is a virus, spreading like ripples through the field of consciousness. Like a piece of art, once one sees it, or interacts with it in any way, one can not forget it. This is its Power; though this field of interaction does not exist within the bounds of the physical- 89 is made and refined in the field of pure, undifferentiated consciousness, interfaced and accessed via its ideas and forms of material expression...
01:19 am - false propaganda I am increasingly becoming more suspect of media propagation of negative views of human nature; I am becoming more inclined to think that people are inherently compassionate when not twisted, distorted or other wise crewed up by culture. The Media and this System in general tend to utilize as propaganda a distorted view of human nature; and why not? It promotes all those qualities which make people believe they need leaders to protect them and keep them safe; it keeps people increasingly paranoid about their fellow neighbor; it enforces escapism, repression, media consumption; it disempowers the individual by removing them from a humans primary source of energy- other people.
If people woke up that nature is not inherently horrible, people would no longer need all these institutions to tell them what to do- god forbid people should start to behave both autonomously and spontaneously. If people started to think for themselves, many people would loose their jobs (which consists of telling people what to think) such as politicians, priests of all castes, movie stars, pop bands, lawyers, psychologists... all those people would be out of business if no one bought their dogma from them. Thus, media enforces conceptions of human negativity. That war, rape, disease, mass killing spree's, etc happen is because of the full sanction of mankind. We do that to people- out culture creates monsters, creates problems, all because it is what sells and what keeps people under control.
Looking around my life, I see more and more people behaving under the principles of enlightened self interest. By sharing energy and resources, and not being suspicious, we all grow in power and quality of life. If we all work together then we can all accomplish something greater than any one person. To me that is true civilization.
I was talking with my Teacher the other day, and he was telling me story about someone who asked his teacher about what they thought about civilization in the west. He responded "I think that would be a good idea."
We need civilization here, because right now we have a primitive system which is outdated, archaic and almost barbaric. It is neo-feudalism; it imprisons its people, feeds off of them, and spreads a parasite of shame, guilt and fear. It needs to be healed, to be made whole; it needs to stop increasing the hurt, stop spreading the lies about the negativity of human nature, stop helping the death and decay and it needs to get civilized. Clean up the agriculture, make it sustainable; channel money into life affirming technologies like intelligence increase and life expansion. Educate about the nature of the human spirit and human consciousness- we have the knowledge to do it, especially with the explosion of Tibet into all corners of the globe.
However, no one will do this for us. We need to do it all ourselves. Suck it up, roll up our sleeves and start getting messy; and start working together. We each have skills we can use, each have functions we can fulfill; lets start to see how we can put them together to accomplish our aims and visions for the future. This is about responsibility; taking back the power to define; for whoever has the power to define has the power to control. I do not want to see that in the hands of people that only care about profit; we have seen what happens there. That power needs to be taken back into our own hands. We need to start to define reality, redefine consensus culture; redefine what is and is not possible for us. We need to take back our bodies, take back our land.
I have opted out of the concept of World Domination; that implies rulership, or rather enforced defintion. I have now moved to a better term for this undertaking- Global Reappropriation. We must take it back form them and make something better with it; something sustainable, something technologically enlightened, something spiritually aware. I vote for a Theocratic Republic; the reasons are many which would require me to delve into topics more esoteric than I desire here. However, a society where the main body is one of scientific illuminism mixed with full one proper education (real education, not indoctrination.)
We need Spiritual Warriors, men and women enflamed by passion and injustice to band together to create a common vision of the world, or help one another and help those who support the principles they are governed by. We need people willing to risk it all, to throw security to the wind, to throw away the promise of financial stability, cultural "success" and to begin to grow and evolve consciously and intentionally into Being of Light, radiant, intelligent, active; not rigid or dogmatic or cowardly, but truly strong, exuberant individuals fighting and celebrating and becoming a beacon of hope to the world. We need people not afraid to let go, to give in, to learn to flow; to learn how to go mad; beautifully, radiantly, passionately making love with the infinite possibilities all around us.
Let us show the media that it is wrong; let us show culture the errors of its own lies. Human beings can work as a whole, in harmony; that we can band together for a common good and we can make a difference. We are not evil by nature, we are not all sick and diseased. We are worth more and we are becoming something new, something better. We are becoming resplendent beings of compassion and awareness; we will see money eradicated, billboards burned and maps erased; we will see the true power of the human spirit rise up out of the ashes of this post modern world as phoenix and it will set the whole planet on fire.
This is the new Law, this is the new Way; this is Movement which will set the whole world ablaze which a spiritual fire of blinding magnitude. We will see what we truly are when we start working together as pieces of a greater whole. That is our test, our challenge, our ordeal as a species; this is our Initiation. Can we learn how to work together harmoniously? Can we find a place for each individual as part of a healthier whole? Can we transform ourselves and our world enough to save ourselves from the brink of extinction? We can, but only if we can set aside our differences and embrace our similarities. We must cast aside the false sense of unique individuality that has also been spread as a lie; we must embrace the whole, the entirety of not just "ourselves" but that which is external to ourselves as well- we must learn to love the Other as we love our Self; but of course, many people still need to learn how to love themselves; and to do that, one must even first have a self.
Destroy the illusion of the degradation of the human spirit; destroy that lying specter that Man is vile and fallen and corrupt. Do not listen to that drivel; it does not have to be true. We allow it to be true, we breed what is evil that it may keep people scared. They have lied to us long enough. This is not how it has to be; we can change it if we so choose. What do you choose?
06:45 pm - the pain of division is as nothing and the joy of dissolution all... If we could begin to look, begin to see, begin to explore with our own eyes and not the eyes of our culture; if we could stare into the mirror and look at what lurks behind the lurker, what then could we see? The mouth of infinity eating its way out, manifesting everything in its attempt to become real? Moving through, behind, aware of the colors and sounds of new dimensions and realities forming like bubbles from the deep see? What better way to press itself than through the mouths of manifest aeons; or from strange angles encircle to conspire and kill the germ of death? For that is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die. And may we face that to overcome death we must press our face in mad embrace to the divinity that would consume us whole? To give up in ecstatic sacrifice the scar that our self embarked upon us, floating through the ether nights alone and separated from the source....
to take ourselves on the path to the stars and give in to the forms of madness, evolve to become something more... to give up our fears, our lusts, our personal unique sense of "self" and become a grand multiplicity; its being born from us, through us, the infinite potentials of possibility, yet we must press onwards, through the face of the beast, stare ourselves down in the mirror, see all we were and what we leave behind; god is growing from us all, escaping from our mouths, and our lives are its memories in retrospect. The universe has not yet been born, we are the process by which it may come to remember and become something more than it was when it was nothing for the next step is everything...
It is coming through you, starseed transmission, ignition to new being away from the static towards the pulsations of rhythms and patterns, the beats of magnitude that ripples through the tones of us, urging us on to the Nothingness of All; invoking death to dissolve the forms. Madness, dissolution, fragmentation, become it all once we get rid of this singular conception of self, limited and away from all things, from the very foundations of life, from magick, from you and me. There is no bond that can unite the divided but love; let us join hands, join minds, dissolve our sense of boundaries and let us carry ourselves upwards and outwards, expanding forever through forms of delusion that lead to palaces in the sky; let go of this body, give up this self and raise her to the pinnacles of mothers womb; out, I say, out and beyond, escape, liberate, drive forth from the egg and take flight! Genius born within from the tears of stars as they fall together to take form in dreams in the minds of all... let us dive into one another, and become something much Greater. Dissolve ownership as we dissolve sense of self, as we wake up to the unification of conscious creation...
"i give certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death..."
Take it for what its worth, but fascinating. I find this artists work to be fascinating... I have always found something inspiring and beautiful about crop circle patterns and images.
