A Peace of Mind for the Fire...

Give in...give in...give in...

I have you now...

Nothing

No

Not

Become

Undone

As I mused on the synthesis of Stoke’s theorem, (working with the circulation of a vector field in 3-D space), Joyce’s multidimensional writings (see Finnegan’s Wake, et all), and the McDonald’s Happy Meal ™ (socialization of children into America’s fast food and capitalist culture)...I read many so-called analysts and “peoples in the know” on the nature of war and politics of our current cycle.

I usually abhor politics and political systems, being as Carroll writes “a mere squabble over the secondary codification of the primary values of a society.” Our current democracy (republic) arose out of the weakening of monotheism, industrialization, and military technology...not from the politics themselves, or even an approximate representation of the “end all be all” of social organization.

Most of the negotiations, hand wrangling, and back alley deals of those with actual power have little to do with the masses they purport to represent or “watch” over for their own benefit. (Not that this matters, I include this statement to wake some ov you out of the Abyss of the Normal, for it is the normal course of human politics over the centuries.) Knowing the current level of caste that you belong to sometimes helps one determine the level they Will to be at...that is if you have Worked enough to discover your Will. (aka, it’s not want)

I try hard not to cling to formal ideologies, perhaps in the beLIEf that I may be able to break my own social codification that years of existence in this country has fostered upon me. (Good luck slacker, they’ve got you coded really well) Many of us spend so much time looking into the social injustices of this world without having “un-encoded” concepts of these injustices and beyond that no real power to influence the system. Some have brought to me the concept of MLK and how he overcame the society to promote civil rights, and to them I say yea verily, yet he never lived under Stalin. Anyone noticing the War on Humanity (for the past 20 years) in the guise of the War on Drugs...?

More important to me, and whatever small concerns I have left for the “community” (defined without relation to the individual, or individuals writing this), is the development of the system we induce. Should the Pagan movements stand behind a country that actively works to oppress them...should they seek peace in order to facilitate another’s countries right to continue to oppress its people? Does it matter? In your current social stratum, at your current magickal ability, can you personally influence events? And should you?

Quick poetics...Remembrances of individual growth crashing against the spike-edged reef of someone else’s imposed dharma to the shorelines of consciousness. The moment passes. The flow of our growth returns but now the tide regards the contrived wisdom of the jagged reefs as necessary for further growth. The socialization encodes, is internalized, and the static Inferno of the Normal enters...

Limits placed upon the individual; the individual doesn’t recognize the limiters, and instead focuses their energy on what they now perceive as “real.” How beautiful. This new vessel for the parasitic thought form will go on to infect other vessels until competing thought forms conflict. War, protest, segregation, dissolution, “salvation.”

Crowley put forth the following words...easy to misinterpret...such as Jesus’s “I bring not peace, but a sword...”

45. There is death for the dogs.
46. Dost thou fail? Art thou sorry? Is fear in thine heart?
47. Where I am these are not.
48. Pity not the fallen! I never knew them. I am not for them. I console not: I hate the consoled & the consoler.
49. I am unique & conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be they damned & dead! Amen.

Words for the Work...

“the root of every emotion is its own opposite” AOS
Why not commit our selves to the mutual annihilation of both these concepts simultaneously? 1+1=2 (0=2?)?

Do the “seven words” only amount to the seven designations of ego, love, fear, desire, death, sex, and hate. These concepts imprison us in a 4th Circuit workhouse of spiritual mediocrity. (Wonderful activist there...with the 8 circuits of consciousness...see where it got him) Certain pathworks of certain traditions, such as “illumination” (2nd death/ego loss?), leads us thru a gate (not a barrier like the “psychic censor”) in Self where we lie between dualities, or between our will and perception.

“on the hedge” of two whole realities, as Soror Kino has put it. And, any extensive marathon playing of the board game Risk should offer us some perspective on the virtue of “friendly cheating” and the delicate nature of the Eastern Front, holistically.

Magicians and their ilk Working to stand apart from societal machinations...Soldiers dancing on rotting empires...Civilizations live and die...are you the civilization, or are you the magician?

NeverMind...
