My tongue will tell the anger of my heart
Or else my heart, concealing it, will break.
William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew (via itsfromabook)
sometimes a doe,
an ox, or a leopard
sometimes a dissident,
a cousin, or a pirate-
really though
the bloody one,
with Him,
is always you
Days like today, I love the internet. A few days ago, I read an article by JC over on the Rosicrucian Vault, on the Dodecahedron of Space. Based on that article, I constructed a black and white dodecahedron of Space using a dodecahedron template from Mathisfun.com. It was an OK model, but then JC did me one better. He provided a new template, already colored, for the Dodecahedron of Space, and directions on how to build one out of wood in a serious way.
So of course, I built his paper template of a Dodecahedron of Space right away. And now it’s sitting on my desk at school.
I love the Work. But more than that, I love the workings, the learning, the study of fundamentals and the methods for both teaching and learning fundamentals. Elegant, really. Thanks, J.C.!

It has nothing to do with religious or magical beliefs. I do not believe in a law of three or a law of returns. I would say I do believe in something like karma, which is more nebulous. Not physically harming others is a moral conviction. I simply do not believe that violence is an effective way to change people. What I really want to do is change their minds.
Property and institutions are not people. While institutions can develop an egregore, I have no moral qualms making them suffer. Some form of suffering is necessary for change to occur. However, mitigating that suffering is ideal.
Yes to music and screams. Also dance, self-flagellation, and spontaneous creation, like flinging paint against a surface.
