Alchemically Braindamaged

We're back and we're keeping it short. snowstorms, ancient sorcerous invocations, and barbaric yawps.

 

to conserve upload bandwidth we settle for a truncated analysis of  my self tarot reading. you may find the whole context for this post at my homepage under the same name. thank you for your indulgence.

It was bound to get complex sooner or later. submodalities, symbol manipulation, 'astral' work, demon binding, voice removal and reinstalation.

 welcome to the lifestyle, folks.

 

 as ever your comments are most welcome here or on my homepage, and donations always welcome as well. your spiritual and financial support elevates my work to another level. thank you.

you will never untangle the strands of the world that brought you here...

I almost called it 'the first temptation', but maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. We'll give our self destructive, demonic forces the benefit of the doubt today...

Last minute preparations, some reflections on taking the safe road vs the uncertain one, and sizing up the scope of our immanent harrowing...

one ought to account on disorienting psychological effects during a serious ritual. but before a ritual? say what? so I guess we'll call this day one...

...in which we set the stage for either the most audacious bit of alchemy and artisitc expression in the public eye, by me yet, or the most spectacular flameout and nervous breakdown in the public eye you are likely to encounter.

...I may need them following my institutionalisation.

sometimes life is the biggest obstacle to getting a life. and sometimes the biggest obstacle to getting on with your life is the idea that life is something you 'get' rather than 'get on with'.

  yes this really does relate to systems theory. shut up...

how to set yourself on the path? how to change from what you're doing to what you want to be doing?  like most things, there is no one right answer, but there are right ways to arrive at one...

well, now that we've established that democracy 'works' and beaten the real 'evildoers' time to cash out and leave the table while you still can.

just like it says. who i am, what i do, and how to get into it. my concession to user-friendliness.

when the moon bleed and my lungs cry

and the fire leap forth from my eye

bones bend and heroes break

and everything was right to be a mistake

a world full of twigs and spray

and the light at the end is on it's way

and here, at the turn, there is little to do but relate one's own experience. hence you get to hear about my glimpse of truth, late at night, in an unheated garage.

sounds a bit sordid, doesn't it? but doesn't it always, eventually?

Come, little drop, and return to the infinite ocean...

  what? I can't get all mystical and untive and shit sometimes? You're all bastards, I'm telling you.

 Fine. Pretend I'm that guy Begbie from trainspotting, and that he's your guru;

Get that ego shite out of your system, or I'll F&@#*% kick it out!

saddle up for superpowers, madness, psychic maelstroms, idiot savants and everything your twisted little mind ever desired.

  all you have to do is learn to sit still and focus.

  No? too bad then...

Here's the missing link between the stuff that works, and what you've probably been doing up until now.

  Man! I'm a hard bastard, sometimes, aren't I?

...and incidentally, people who never hit the tip jar make baby jesus cry. top left!

You probably wouldn't think that breathing was a potentially hazardous thing to be doing, but it wouldn't be the first thing you hadn't had the whole story about, would it?

It's easy to proclaim yourself an adept.

But to look good, feel strong, stay healthy, bend the wills of those around you, and still be rooted in yourself?

That takes some work, my friends.

Hey kids, rock and roll.
Nobody tells you where to go, baby.

What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby.

Hey kids, shake a leg.
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.

it's the much the same everywhere, it always works, and it's been around forever.

  the only issue is: will you do it?

'What is the meaning?',  is the wrong question.

What do you want the meaning to be?

no one ever gives up on the future. they just convince themselves there isn't going to be one...

a reasonably tactfull treatment of the social pathology that gives rise to tragedies such as the one we've recently commemorated.

a comprehensive explaination for a bunch of depraved shit you never wanted to believe in and didn't understand anyway.

rounding out our treatment of spiral dynamics and clarifying more reasons why everything is FUBAR and wonderfull, all at the same time.

if you ever wanted to listen to somebody chatter on in a multi leveled evolutionary dialouge, in four seperate voices, then you're in luck.

aren't you happy?

 

comments welcome at uroboros.wordpress.com, and donations always appreciated

we make an introduction to spiral dynamics a little more palatable by taking more cheap shots at the neoconservative regime and their functional retardation.

a dialectical metadynamic of history, submitted for your approval lest it be lost to suffering mankind.

There are times for patience, restraint, and carefull action. this is not one of those times.

a fairly innocent attempt tp clear up semantic confusion degenerates into a ken wilber/marshall mcluhan deathmatch as we engineer a multi-dimensional holocaust of clashing perspectives... and we explain why it is few people really know their own feet.

  Ever wondered why all these grandiose counter cultural movements keep dropping the ball? No?

 Well, I'm going to tell you anyway...

As you move towards the center, and the pattern tightens, you begin to see the meaning... or do you?

 

comments welcome at uroboros.wordpress.com, and donations always appreciated

nothing to see here. it's all being taken care of. no need to discomfit yourself.

the past becomes the future and the future the past. collapse it into the vanishing point and check out of the rat maze, bay-bee

Maybe one day you were reading the celestine prophecy, and thinking about the true ramifications of the word 'quantum' and it occured to you that your head contains whole worlds. and then somebody told you to quit daydreaming and get back to work. 

  but little did you know, that it was really true. you DO have worlds in your head. that's why most people's lives suck. it might even be why your life sucks. assuming it does, and i'm not just projecting my insecurities on you. i was talking about 'projecting' in our last installment. remember?  

 yes, i know this makes no sense. it's just supposed to grab your attention for a few seconds while you're dowloading my latest carreening diatribe through obscure subject matter.

A brief foray into pop psychology and dr. phil style relationship advice, from our usual apocalyptic, ecstatic, wildly allegorical standpoint.

What would you say to a group of people who have the power to crack the earth in half and create worlds the like of which can barely be imagined, and they largely sit around with their thumbs up their cakeholes, engaging in ironic wank sessions as civilisation burns?

 maybe something like this...

in which my current grumpy phase hits rock bottom, as I exploit the tragedy of 911 to engage in some spurious metaphors and tarot symbolism, and proceed to posit an appalling brand of metaphysical malthusianism. on the other hand, i do a half decent reading of aliester crowley and encourage you to quit dwelling on negative crap and do something for the world.

First in a series free form excercises on randomly chosen topics, to test the medium, answer questions, establish some background details, play with ideas, and provide an entry point for new audience members.

In our first segment, we discuss manifesting intent, the value of humilty, wanton lust, self destructing adepts, and the demiurgic imagination.

The first audio installment of an ongoing series of essays in occult and alchemical instruction, psychotic ranting, paranoid entanglement, and dangerously irresponsible proselytising.
