Nothing so conclusively proves the radical difference between our human and animal nature, as the capacity of the human mind to entertain speculations in regard to itself.

This is the self-referencing perceptive state known as Consciousness.

Beliefs are tools for creating desired effects. To fully realize this is to face a terrible freedom in which Nothing is True and Everything is Permitted, which is to say that everything is possible, there are no certainties, and the consequences can be ghastly. The purpose of finding meaning in Life is to create beliefs by acting as though such beliefs were true; you Fake it till you Make it, to obtain the power that a belief can provide. Afterwards, if you have any sense, you will laugh it off. Laughter seems to be the only defence against the realisation that one does not even have a real self. The only Eternal Truth is that, “Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.”

The real awesomeness lies in the range of things we can discover ourselves capable of, even if we may temporarily have to believe the effects are due to something else, in order to be able to create them. The gods are dead. Long live the gods. Magic appeals to those with a great deal of fertile imagination coupled with a strong suspicion that both reality and human condition have a game-like quality. The game is open ended, and plays itself for amusement. Players can make up their own rules to some extent, and cheat by using parapsychology if desired. It takes only the acceptance of a single belief to make someone a magician. It is the meta-belief that belief is a tool for achieving effects. Thank Chaos we shall never exhaust it.

AND NOW, A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR:

H.P. LOVECRAFT, in one of his tales of terror, alludes to certain entities which have their being “not in the spaces known to us, but between them. They walk calm and primal, of no dimensions, and to us unseen.”

To put it very simply, a successful magical act causes an apparently acausal result. A properly executed magical release of energy creates a wave form (visible by Kirlian photography) around the magician causing turbulence in the aetheric space. This turbulence will likely cause a result, preferably as the magician has intended. Once the energy is released, control over the phenomena is out of the magicians hands, just like once an equation has been fed into a computer, the design follows the path set for it. The path coils and curls upon itself and mounts the steep incline of ecstasy as the energy is woven into a complex web of dreams. To follow closely the path is to leave earth and dive obliquely between those spaces that Lovecraft celebrated in his nightmare tales.

The hyper-eroticism induced by this ‘web of dreams’ is the basis of an elaborate ceremony whose aim is producing extensive hypnotic hallucinations. No one can say whether certain things happen or not; each individual may have very different and equally vivid experiences; but some form of levitation seems common to all. The patterns of all erotic love rites forges a link with the powers of middle nature, or the aether. Will is our medium, Belief is the vehicle combining with the astral plane between the spiritual and physical realms.

Simulation cascading into chaotic promiscuity. In other words, one must enlarge belief or desire until it embraces all things. At that moment the mystery of yourself will be revealed to you; existence is energy reflected by your experience. Once you begin to understand this; this very existence will begin to evolve based on your self-referencing perceptive state. This is known as the Singularity.

==And now we begin our Program(ing)==

The birth of the sound-wave baby

WEIRD DANCING IN ALL-NIGHT computer-banking lobbies is one existential path that leads us through specific DNA dimensions of the elemental universe. THE UNIVERSE WANTS TO PLAY–it sets up a network of cut-outs & safe drops between itself & its readers–but it’s so baldfaced & literal-minded it practically encodes itself–it smokes itself into a stupor, a map without placenames–stiff as an egyptian wallpainting nevertheless it reaches to caress someone’s face–& suddenly finds itself out in the street, in a body, embodied in light, walking, awake, almost satisfied.

It just wants sex and drugs and pain and information un-defiled.

Our future-current path of fantasy-beliefs render who’s ready for what lie. Art tells gorgeous lies that come true. We are a conspiracy of artists, anonymous as any mad bombers, but aimed toward an act of gratuitous generosity rather than violence– aimed at a present moment of aesthetic shock in the service of realization & liberation.

Something about Anarchy

There is no becoming, no revolution, no struggle, no path; already you’re the monarch of your own skin–your inviolable freedom waits to be completed only by the love of other monarchs: a politics of dream, urgent as the blueness of sky. No, listen, what happened was this: they lied to you, the idea that controlling people is somehow tantamount to Peace, when in reality it’s sewing the seeds of war. Why? Because Humans don’t like being controlled. They rebel against the thing trying to control them and thus two polar opposites are created dedicated to obliterating each other. It’s significant to point out a “Human” is an animal who possesses Consciousness. Now this is in contrast to a person who wishes to control things and be controlled – these people are not “Human” they are domesticated primates. Domesticated primates do not possess Consciousness, they merely possess Language. Well, you can teach a parrot to say things and a monkey to use tools but that does not make them human.

A Human resents being controlled because Consciousness is a self-referencing perceptive state, and so all attempts of petty ego conformity at the hands of domesticated primates is patently repulsive. Furthermore, Consciousness provides the only valid form of authority because Consciousness provides us the only valid form of Morality.

Morality is ultimately the product of Consciousness because Empathy is a product of Consciousness; You Think — Therefore You Are — Therefore you can think about OTHER people. So when you realize it is good for you to be treated good by others and vice versa… that’s when Morality is ultimately the product of Consciousness.

In the anarchic “superman” state of the fuuuuuuture the only law will be Moral Consciousness expressed as the Golden Rule. The opposing forces to Moral Consciousness is moral authority & immoral consciousness. Moral authority represents domesticated primates attempting to control all behavior based relative conceits. The logical conclusion to moral authority is an all-powerful corporate / religious state that places no value in ‘the individual’ resulting in no personal freedom, technology will provide the catalyst. Immoral consciousness represents the self-referencing perceptive state of Consciousness but disregards empathy as a ‘weakness.’ The logical conclusion to immoral consciousness is just… unpleasant.

The knee-jerk reaction to anarchy is, ‘who’s going to take out the garbage?‘

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said slavery is an absolute necessity in any society – but human slavery is immoral. He then said something to the effect of; “let the machines do the shit work; we’ll get their pay!” As we’ve seen in our own life-time; it’s just a matter of time before everything becomes automated. At such a point of technological sophistication – it is likely we’ll either slide into fascism or anarchy. And here’s why – in an automated society all forms of employment (as we know them) will become obsolete, and if no one is earning any money – then our monetary-based economy collapses. (Is this already beginning to happen?) Only with the intervention of an all-powerful corporate / religious state could civilization continue to exist. However, even in an automated society the machines won’t be able to produce art & entertainment. And so, our only conceivable ‘job’ in a post-labor world would be creative. With no need of a lobotomized labor force, and conversely, a real need for independent and creative people / producers of art & entertainment – the educational system will be revamped based on interpretations of Consciousness & Morality. Morality, as defined above, coupled with automated systems of labor eventually leads to the first viable world-spanning anarchy. Give it about 200 years. In meantime we must change our attitudes towards ‘earning a living’ by creating the economy of the future now. So by the time our culture becomes fully automated the monetary-based economy will more easily pass into a purely creative-based economy thereby by-passing the need of a fascist “savior” state.

Behavioral advertising would be the key-component in implementing the creative-based economy.

Speaking for myself; I have no problem with information that I make public for the whole world to see also being used by businesses to let me know they have a product I actually WANT! or NEED! This would be in contrast to so-much shit that is mindlessly thrown at me by broad advertising. Instead of these mega-corporations spending billions on broad advertising; a fraction of that money could be spent on product diversification (more jobs), and coupled with behavioral advertising – those products would be placed much more efficiently.

Sophisticated behavioral advertising technology as the next necessary evolutionary leap in this modern-information-age-world-economy.

People are unemployed, losing their homes, health & minds because the world’s wealth is not being properly distributed. Even though ALL of the pieces of the puzzle are here to distribute the wealth. It is merely our failure to put these pieces together properly that poverty prevails. In regards to entertainment; production and distribution costs are virtually zero. But marketing is still stuck in the dark-ages. But if I knew the band on Myspace was requesting an add from me based on those silly personality tests everyone loves to take, instead of some asshole randomly clicking on my profile, then maybe, maybe I’d even be willing to pay a small fee to view their profile. RIGHT!? Social profiling sites + behavioral advertising + micropayments = Creative-based economy.

So now our job is clear; get in tune with our inner artist via Life-Script: The Idea is to create a story in which the main character accomplishes all the things in life you want: a nice house, meeting your “soul-mate”; whatever you want, it’s your fantasy. You figure out all the things the character would need to do, and the people s/he would need to meet in order to accomplish those things. Once (or during) you work out all the plot-holes; you start embodying the character you created – you become the character you created. INVOKE OFTEN. In this (magical) process the events and characters you’ve envisioned in your Life-Script will spontaneously manifest themselves in your real-life. Ideally, you want to parlay your Life-Script (Art) into a livable income – as discussed earlier. The ABC reality-show “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” is a great example of a real Life-Script in action.

Remember, even if you have everything planned in excruciating detail… sometimes reality wants to ad-lib. But it makes for great entertainment.

This form of ontology also explains why “God allows bad things to happen to good people.” For the true question is, “Why do all the good stories make the protagonist suffer?” Is Batman really a symbol of hope and justice? Or is Bruce Wayne another insane criminal with delusions of grandeur? Can a good person stay a good person after a bad or evil thing has happened to them?

Of course all of this rhetoric is just prelude to the ultimate question: why did you do the last stupid thing you did? Civilization has externalized our gods and demons as beings separate from ourselves. But you are God and the Devil; you are your own worst enemy and you are your own salvation. Magic, whose aims are to improve your quality of life, really isn’t the art of manipulating events acausally – it is just your mind devoid of self-destruction. When you ’see’ the result of a magical act are you not, in actuality, seeing the possibilities that have always been there? Is the magical ceremony (Life-Script) not an elaborate ’show’ in which you prepare yourself for acceptance of the possibilities you desire? Not to say the ceremony doesn’t precipitate incredible coincidences. But let’s not mystify chaos. In studying turbulence, chaos scientists have realised that apparently acausal phenomena in nature are not only the norm, but are measurable by simple mathematical equations. A successful magical act causes an apparently acausal result. A properly executed magical release of energy creates a wave form (visible by Kirlian photography) around the magician causing turbulence in the aetheric space.

Are you a cabbage or a Star?

This is the story of the God who died, not out of pity, but, because it told us to kill it. For this reason we know the religion it created is the one true religion. Not ‘atheism’ for atheism disregards the means directly for the ends; there is no journey, just a complacent, stagnant destination of disbelief. And how in the world is that any fun? Thus there is no substance to the atheist for there is no chaos in his heart. Deity tells us all things are Consciousness, since there’s no other satisfactory definition for Consciousness; we take the hallucination at face-value and see what we can accomplish with this internally consistent matrix of signs and effects. Scientifically, we collapse the wave-function with Consciousness – due to the turbulence created from this interaction – acausal effects are seen reflected in our personal sphere of locality. As we go deeper in the rabbit hole we see more of ourselves in Deity. And Deity reacts in kind saying, “I AM YOU.” Now it’s just a matter of letting go of our crutches when the time is right.

There is nothing left but you and your Consciousness.

“One of our Australian listeners, Jo (from Cambria), was so inspired by Robert Anton Wilson and Bob Shea’s ‘Illuminatus Trilogy’, that he added a Fnordic twist to his yarn storming’”:

“I’ve attached photos of my most recent knit graffiti. I tag my knit bombs with bright yellow tags — one side has an eye on top of a pyramid with a red line running through it (Anti-Illuminati) and the other side has a quote from Schrodinger’s Cat or Illuminatus!”

Now, I have to admit, this is the first case of ‘Yarn Storming’ I’ve ever encountered, so I rushed to YewTube and unearthed this expanatory morsel:
