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.
Find the Others....
