I say Hail to the Mystagogue

Hail to the Mystagogue, the dark robed one guiding the initiate into the sacred mysteries.  While blindfolded it is the Mystagogue who guides you though your journey.  Part Magus, part Bishop, "Mystagogical Homilies" are your final instructions unto the art for time eternal.  Our people need more mystics to silently and surreptitiously guide the world in it's sleep, as the current state or world affairs suggests the chaos which a wild mob of fools and lawyers are capable of doing.

New York Times report on the rise of Secret Rooms in homes

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2006/10/05/garden/secret.rooms.1.600.jpg

It's interesting how they reasons for buying a secret room is half for security and half for coolness.  I admit that sounds pretty cool having a secret room in your house, but still looks whose doing it nyt link

Anoetic Gnosis

Anoetic is a word that is defined thusly:

An`o`et´ic

a.	1.	Unthinkable.
	2.	(Psychol.) Not subject to conscious attention; having an indefinite, relatively passive, conscious being; characteristic of the "fringe" or "margin" of consciousness. Presentation considered as having an existence relatively independent of thought, may be called sentience, or anoetic consciousness. Thought and sentience are fundamentally distinct mental functions. - G. F. Stout.

I contend that the root word, anoesis:

anoesis

n. Psychology, mere reception of impressions without understanding or intellectual effort.

If one breaks down the word to "noesis" you have the same pronounciation of gnosis.  This is for all practical purposes the closest definition to gnosis you can get to. 

one sweet women

Today on hippie hill on what was a nice day turned suddenly cold and cloudy (great weather to study the Nordic pantheon).  After a while reading and writing things down I noticed this women getting down by the drum circle with a large wheelchair.  A women got out of her wheelchair, very old and in ill health.  I was immediately piqued watching her, barefoot, putting on a shawl and slowly going into the midst of the drum circle and started dancing.  She danced for a minute then went back to her wheelchair.  she returned with a rose which held as though in a prayer.  After some time she went back to her wheelchair and grabbed her walking cane, and started down the road.  I knew i had to tell her something.  I gathered up my things and followed her down a trail where she had gone.  when i approached I said, "Excuse me." This sweet old lady turned to me and said, "yes?"  For the first time I could see her up close her tender eyes and smile, and the soul of an old sweet women.  Across her forehead was a headband of flowers that went around her head .  I said, "I wanted to thank you for dancing."  At which she said thanked me, and we parted ways. 

In the Art of Manholes...

"An urban legend claims that a manhole cover was accidentally launched from its shaft during an underground nuclear test in the 1950s, at great enough speed to leave the solar system. The story is based on a real incident in August 27, 1957 during the Operation Plumbbob nuclear tests, where a heavy steel plate cap was blasted off the test shaft at tremendous velocity, never to be seen again. It is not known if it actually left the atmosphere."

James Bond Stockdale

I found the occult roots of James Bond by accident tonight.  He's the real deal though.  James Bond Stockdale was the highest ranking POW officer in Vietnam.  He was captured when his jet was shot down on one of the very first missions in Vietnam.  He was imprisoned in Vietnam for the length of seven years, repeatedly tortured, forced to solitary confinement for four years, forced to wear heavy chains for two years, and single handily inspired hundreds of American POW's to resist with a strategy called BACK U.S. which stood for

Never BOW in public
Stay off the AIR Never admit to CRIMES
Don't KISS them good-bye (Never thank them for anything)
US stood for Unity over Self

In a Jesus like act of defiance, he conduct an extended campaign of abusing himself almost to the point of death so as to make the Vietnamese treat the men better.  And it worked.  This guy knows about non violent resistance par excellence.  He then went on to become the highest decorated Navy official in the history of it's organization.  This is a picture of him jumping off his jet one week before he was captured:

How much magick have you made today?

illigium collegium

Colleagues in Illegal transactions are the most popular character portrayal of Americans in every class and social circle of the country.  Being illicit adds a certain legitimacy to characters like Dick Cheney and Snoop Dog.  Getting away with any kind of action no matter how outrageous or insulting is a tell tale sign any frustrated child will resort to.  In males this often entails a contempt of women in degrading ways such as the popular portrayal of pimping which is the inversion of exactly the same attitude that refuses a woman choice in reproductive freedom.   And it's not like worse attitudes towards women are enlightened elsewhere: women are often abused or socially inferior in most places of the world.  What I'm attempting to show is the meta programming affecting reality today. 

It's going to be a wide historical gap to take place between generations to heal the damage to the human spirit today. Unfortunately that crossroads probably wont come to pass to prevent this cycle from continuing.  And it does not seem that my generation will be any different.  If frustrated little boys aspire to this confederation, we will continue to see a degradation of values and attitudes that are quickly evaporating care for ones neighbors and even basic human rights if charge is not taken to change this now.  We do not want to return to the age -not to distant- of a women's value what she can be bought for.  I am a minority in that I don't want watch Hollywood movies or follow pop culture as much as I am able- I don't care to feed into that program, but how many people like to be dazzled by glamour?  Short answer: too many. 

Generational guidance is more strained than ever before in this country, and I think a large part of that has to do with this cultural breakdown, and partly because their isn't any.  I call it a cultural breakdown because that is what happens when a society limits or constrains itself to a monoculture.  My generation is certainly the most selfish monoculture the world has ever seen for trinkets and dead end rhythms.  It's as though our society is still under the shadow (or spell) of the last generation that had something important to do (which in my humble opinion was the World War II generation).  And so theres the illegality, Americas favorite pastime, either brutally, virtually, or legally.  The cross-insemination of this attitude exists in both the gangsterism in the African American community  and the nostalgia of 1930's gangsters in the Caucasian world (which day to day is naturally more orientated toward the gangster culture of Hip hop).  This dead ends in the brigand, brute, and highway men.  In the District of Columbia last month a suspect after slitting the throat of a British man had his friends attempt to rape his partner.  A short time after wards the group minus the victims went to KFC for some evening chicken.   One has to wonder at the veracity of people like this.  What kind of earth we manifest through our actions and thoughts is the most important thundering of the universe possible, and  we are very much lacking intelligence in current world affairs.  I must mention that the definition of unintelligence is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get a different result. 

I keep hearing incidental reports that the honorable and timeless pirate is being consummated by big media as fast as flies on shit.  Everybodys favorite pirate these days gives a big cut to the house.  A counter thesis would argue that all the pirates could be bought off to change sides in a war.  That has certainly been true of hip hop.  I wanna be a soldier.  Soulja.  Soulja sounds suspiciously to me like a voodoo term and an Arabic Jihad, but thats just the Qabalist in me trying to jump out.  I prefer to encourage differences in people, enjoying those who are dissimilar, sometimes eccentric, who in some way, are unique.  I support maintaining differences.  Both positive and negative.  Monotony the Primate is a dragon, a terrible ally of wasting time, the State, and the division of labor.  Monoculture doesn't know anything else.  That's it's enduring strength.  More than that it of course can't conceive of alternatives other than itself. These follow pop culture religiously and are segregated into peer pressure of conformity most easily.  For example, not supporting the troops breaks ranks with the national spirit: I don't support the troops. 

Don't support the troops occurs 30.9 million times in google.  Support the troops occurs 90.9 million.  I told you I am in the minority.  Don't believe me?  Check out http://www.americasupportsyou.mil

Take heed of the very worthy "Operation Homefront offers support to our deployed troops by helping the families they leave behind. "  Such is the irrationality of the era we live in.  I mention the war for one very specific reason: indefensible actions is like bread and butter.  Just like American automobiles on the street, our media, and our foreign affairs is proof of a national problem of not thinking for itself.  If we thought of what was in our own best interest as a community, neither the automobile companys, big media, or self elected members in Washington would go down in history as the picture permenant record of life in our times. We can't get enough of being outrageous, provocative, and frustrated children which is exactly how the rest of the world views this country.  Not that wouldn't give their right arm to be like us, however.  Everywhere we are surrounded in a conspiracy of epoch proportions, a police state of the most horrible kind.  It will be a cultural prison from which life wouldn't be able to escape.  It is the most real type of egregor their is, that is, the lowest possible level of consciousness possible, a consumer. 

Consumerism consumes the consumer.  By allowing George Bush decide how your needs are met has already far surpassed the most notorious examples of McCarthyism and Watergate.   

I think it's essential that the ways of peace and guardianship be restored as the only task of the soldier.  I'm encouraged that even pirates had a code of honor, while our politicians, media, actors, soldiers, and thugs do not.

while in the shower

I come to know how Nietzsche becomes more important as one grows older.

I used to think of so many grand, lofty things.  My younger years were always spent fantasying and dreaming up all sorts of ways to keep me occupied, all the time.  I am known by my friends for my knowledge of books and computers, the first of which is my real passion.  It would be impossible to life how many lives I've lived.  With books and imagination you don't need anything else.  I would often visualize this as scenes all around me.  Each one is distant, yet real close.

I have this way when I'm sleep deprived or in a bad mood is to flex this invisible angry field extending from my solar plexus and I become instantly heart felt with people.  Lately it's been uncanny.  Others feel it too, subconsciously, here's a person that's glad to see me.  It's such a joyous reason to smile.  Sometimes it's not saying anything but allowing others to talk.  And that's when you really get to know a person.  You have no reason for malice, sarcasm, bad feelings, anger, or hate.  You are best being you.  You are loving because, you're just loving.

This was one year before I decided to leave to California. I left one year ago a life of certain pleasure warmth and affection for an unknown.  I left behind the most loving relationship I have ever experienced in my entire life.  I learned what true love really is.  Even more, I have learned what it is like to have true love, and leave it, it's not something that I wish to describe.  Then I happened upon the exact position and the exact lifestyle I said I was going to have.  This has been going on for almost a year now.  I just can't believe how fortunate I am to be spending it in the company I am in.  The effects of the changes I've gone through this period is in many ways inexpressible for me, yet, each day I welcome lovingly.  I have been an active magician for the course of this period, the lower intensity ways of the shaman my tool at hand.  I've undergone profound studies of qaballah, tarot, runes, and the Norns.  In similar fashion I found and kept a partner that I truly love whose essence is like none on earth. 

It would seem that I am living the the life of a King.

I want to write a book called "The A+ Guide To How to S**** As much out of Life as Possible."  These are the kinds of people they say what their audience wants to hear, like politicals of all colors.
But esspecially conservatives.

I have on average been provided on average two free computers come into my possession, a month, since moving to the Bay Area.  I guess you could say this is the greatest development of events in my entire life.  I have have had years in which feel like decades behind me.  I've had many things I held dear leave me in someway.   I am deeply, deeply, saddened that many of my notebooks and drawings from my younger years have not survived.  I once wrote Michael Eisner (former CEO of Disney for all you know nothing twenty year olds) a letter proposing my design for a Disneyland ride  of a Vietnam war "theme."  Michael didn't write me back, but his chief legal secretary did, returning my hand color penciled maps of the park and detailed instructions on what would happen at each point.  This was in fourth grade, a very fond year for me.

The greatest global cultural phenomenon shift of all time is the influence on two subcultures from the 80's in todays society: computers and hip hop.  There has never been such a fusion on the whole planet's culture in world history then by these two products.  They have changed everything, from speech, to style, to when being nerdy is cool.  Being a nerd was never cool when I was young.  So on one side you have people who use Google and Yahoo! and the other that plays blaring bass out of their automobiles and working class.  I think there is a growing disconnect in these two cultures in ways I can corelate to my security guard experience.  Both are in sync in two different currents.  And I wonder what this means on the Metaphysical field I can feel around my heart that stretches out to infinity, where do these intersect in the space/time vector of infinity, become one, and that is a very important lesson I learned from time as a security guard, and I think I got that figured out.   

Who knows, I could be Hitler's reincarnation if all the weight of the world of guilt the Catholic church has placed on humanity. It's these kinds of things that weigh on my mind.   I realize not not that not many people consider things like this, but this matters to me.

I imagine that if I ever want to to be known for anything, it would be for this.

I don't know, I just had these ideas in the shower and thought I'd write them down.

mobotag, you are awesome

Thanks to mobotag I know someone has setup a Myplace act on the side of the street near broadway.

Oh Lord in heaven, please make it stop!
