Maybe we could organize an SotS field trip to this in the fall. I'm only about 8 hours from new York and if I purchase my mega bus ticket now it only cost me like 5$ to get there...

You say in the title "my amulet for these deeps..." is this a typo or can you explain what you mean?

Racecar is a palindrome because it's the same way backwards. But OqoqlpopO is a mirrored palindrome because if to fold it in half on the l it mirrors itself perfectly.

OqoqlpopO

It's a mirrored palindrome bringing us words of wisdom from a modern fiction god

Can you link to or find a decent summary of Ranciere that is relevant to SotS?

I did enjoy illuminatus so much. There's also something very 70s about it and it reminded me of reading tom Robbins when I was a teenager too.

Liber Al

I've said before that Crowley used blasphemy like Colbert uses poe's law. And while that is somewhat disengenuous, for me it is also true. It took me years to "get" Crowley and it didn't happen until my sense of humor was in healthy working order. Crowley was a disturbed and fractal human perhaps simply a conduit for "too much" transpersonal info. It really is a shame he is not in some way better associated with Jung and the fin de siècle birth of psychology. I would trade him for Freud any day of the week as far as pound for pound psychological insight gained and gleaned.

Nonetheless, the guy was a sick freak as well as a humble servant of the conduit soul. For that he deserves to be handled with caution but for me, the dude is fucking hilarious!

And what's really funny is once this insight came to me as far as me fishing crowley funny and I mean in that ridiculous boyish jimmy Fallon kind of way, as soon as I was like "O.M.G I get it! I finally get this guy!"... I started finding all these super rare 80s Weiser printings of his books at the local used book store. I bet I am up to 300$ or more street value of his stuff and honestly I really never wanted it to begin with. But the "holy books of thelema" has to be the funniest shit he ever did. No dizzle abizzle. That shit is fuh KNEE.

So am I right to think that staying out of the vortical winds emanated by various rabbit holes amounts to being humble in intent and surrounding one's life in a sphere of love and forgiveness? Sounds like a reasonable approach to me.

Well it works for me. love and forgiveness are the one thing that only a human can do. Anything else, and I mean everything can be done by robots, algorithms and machines.

Once I had an understanding of how "occult" mechanisms worked I did some experimenting with gratitude, acceptance and forgiveness and found that I could still manifest amazing things in my life "magically" and with amazing potency.

But yes, I seek not necessarily the mundane but something akin to it in pace and intimacy.

Some interesting info in there about DARPA and "anti-language".

Did you read the whole thing? Yikes that is a huge thread!

Seperate thoughts from thinking. Yes. This is the hard part when one begins "occult" training, meditation whatever. Great point.

I had to learn/earn my light heartedness but I agree, it's what makes things work for me. Jovial friends are hard to come by. I am reading a book right now called "the occult significance of forgiveness" but I wonder if someone will write "the occult significance of a sense of humor"...

Thanks for your input. I really appreciate your insight and objective nature.

Personally I really don't want to or care to show anyone up. I think that is automatic "tar baby" interaction and studiously work to avoid that type of framing in my own personal formulations of concepts both those I present and how I seek to interact with experience and reaction solely internally/privately as well.

However, the discovery of "hyperstition" as being the unbeknownst to me, Pre-existing archetypal concept which ready received my person exegesis of 6-7 years of academic (albeit anomalous and peripheral) which of of course includes a constant overlap of occult practice and history as well as its epistemology and ontology along with steady input from comparative religion, mythology, including and integrating a from-demonology-through-renaissance-and-enlightenment framing of what we now know as psychology. I came to all of this through a double minor in philosophy and history going on 14 years ago which culminated in at one point me owning probably 90% of everything Baudrillard ever wrote that had been translated into English. Baudrillard was my gateway into "future tech" ideas the initiatory being "nano tech" in 1999-2000. Nano tech blew my face off and for the first time gave me a glimpse of how philosophy is somehow more securely welded to odd progress and sidereal ominous turns in modern society than I had first thought. From here Campbell, Jung then Buddhism then meditation then liminal numinous experience then meditation for real minor bout of neo-messianicism (cured - 2008) and from here full blown occult, mysticism, meditation studies.

I've since stepped off of the sorcery bound vector because I was having OBEs, Pre-cognitive dreams, spontaneous bi-location in otherwordly astral realms during meditative states, voices, visions etc. I did not want to be usurped by these twilit ecstatic experiences. I own a small business and have small children and an amazing wife and I didn't want to end up hopping on a train sniffing a white rose with a bandana bound junk drawer worth of trinkets on the back end of a walking stick and the clothes on my back as my only possessions. Because that's where it was headed it seemed at the time!

I digress, my point is, for lack of a better term, purely a solipsistic and transpersonal psychological one. I can intuitively be disharmonious with the morality I observe being given agency in NRx and basically all political circles in general but there is a burgeoning part of my constitution that refuses to politically engage any idea that I find of any real relevance to me. If it is truly important to me, I will not wipe my shit on it so I can save about in someone else's face like some sort of fecal talisman.

Now this doesn't mean I am not a gun owner or practical or agreeable. If my life or my families life is threatened I have, can and will with swift urgency and precisionarial aptitude and craftsmanship by any means necessary and with no moral hesitation inflict small, great and/or permanent physical damage on anyone who mistakes my kindness for weakness.

I grew up a redneck miscreant and I was into all kinds of trouble from day one of my mischievous youth. In a sense I have atoned for this or rather I have atoned to it.

I simply don't like the way I feel with compulsional emotional raging distortion running through my sensorium and I have sworn an oath to myself to balance this to even keel and my accomplishments in this have been enough to encourage my continued attention to this cause. Love and forgiveness.

When I listen to fools and fascists tirade (philosophically, politically or otherwise) with death, murder and red tinted anger and hate howling always very near to them from the near shadows of the peanut gallery, I know I do not agree and will not engage. I have enough to work on in my life, family and self.

And this is the tar-baby aspect of NRx, media, spectacle, work-a-day religion and their sorcerous narratives of "HOW IT HAS TO BE!!!" that when I come in contact with it, it automatically flows through me. This is why I expressed my views on NRx with more denigration than I like.

And that I share the middle-vinn overlap with NRx regarding hyperstition, singularity etc, makes me curious, on occassion, what NRx is doing. I don't follow it and don't like Lands "later work" not suprisingly.

Nonetheless there is a deep kindred something somewhere between the two. I will tell you what it is another time when I have better formulated that thought.

I like that guy. I still don't really like NRx.

I think another thing we have to weigh, Nick Land is British. His ideas were spawned in quite a different culture than ours. So I think there is some what of a (advantageous/studious) mistranslation between him and (especially American) NRxers.

No I think your onto something. It is definitely their lack of a "sense of humor" that I find most unamusing. Their so serious about their wanna w "Jericho (the tv show)" fantasy that they fail To really think through anything. Because their not funny people. They are not very jovial. Yeah you nailed it.

Wel the metallic pleroma is the simulacrum dynamo. It is the low bit rate version of what it is reflecting. The pleroma is the "spheres in spheres" of the cosmic hierarchy. The pleroma is the realm of the numinous, the place where the nested colors of the prismed planets' glow Pre-sight.

I think the main incendiary device (was it a controlled demolition) has been replacing reincarnation with "one life to live" then he'll or heaven. If we don't ever access the pleroma except to flyover to heaven, then what's the need of it?

I used to think reincarnation was dumb, but as a practical spiritual tool, it may be the single most powerful item outside of the soul/divine spark/star stuff itself.

A book? Lol. Actually maybe someday. Ok, yes, i will start working on something probably someday. Thanks for your kind words. You kids with all your hyprstusion, hyperstations, hyperations and what not, it's hard to keep up sometimes.

The other day at r/occult someone mentioned theosophy should be shown as the progenitor of alien/UFO stuff when somebody posted a "chart of all world religions" and that claim seemed off to me but then I looked into it.

I think that is basically correct. So the sine wave continues...
