Having recieved initiation into the most august of western esotericism’s linneages on my birthday at full moon in the year of my second saturn return, I feel imbued with sufficient MacGregorian zeal and fire to avenge the theft of Liber 777 by bringing the middlebrow victorian misogynist neo-satanism of the aeon of the crowned and conquering spoilt brat to a belated close in its 108th year. The TW belief has never given good results in my view, and I have opposed it throughout my career. Later in the year I shall take the opportunity afforded by a visit to Loch Ness to close the relevant demon gate, doing my bit to make 2012 a year of seminal changes, hopefully for the better.

What always gets me about the man is his wry sense of humor. This is funny shit.

‎Karl Marx said, “The task is not just to understand the world but to change it.” A variant to keep in mind is that if you want to change the world you’d better try to understand it. That doesn’t mean listening to a talk or reading a book, though that’s helpful sometimes. You learn from participating. You learn from others. You learn from the people you’re trying to organize. We all have to gain the understanding and the experience to formulate and implement ideas.

Now, of course, it’s extremely easy to say, “The heck with it – I’m just going to adapt myself to the structures of power and authority, and do the best I can within them.” Sure, you can do that. But that’s not acting like a decent person. Look, if you’re walking down the street and you see a kid eating an ice-cream cone, and you notice there’s no cop around and you’re hungry, you can take the ice-cream cone because you’re bigger and just walk away. You can do that – probably there are people who do. But we call them pathological. On the other hand, if they do it within existing social structures, we call them normal – but it’s just as pathological, it’s just the pathology of the general society.

Noam Chomsky (Understanding Power)

Every fact of science was once damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and ‘progress,’ everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man’s refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, ‘Disobedience was man’s Original Virtue.

ganapatayei:

Ganapati Upanishad (Excerpt)

Protect me

Protect the one who Describes you

Protect all who hear about your characteristics

Protect me & the disciples who are under tutelage

Protect me from the obstacles 

 From the east (Similarly)

 Protect me from the West,

 From the North

From the South

Protect me from above & below

Protect me from all directions

Things happen in the world because of the efforts of dedicated and courageous people
whose names no one has heard, and who disappear from history.

Noam Chomsky (via noam-chomsky)

Netzach: The base of the Pillar of Mercy. It Means victory, thus its vision is that of beautiful victory. I say beautiful because its “Mundane Chakra” or planet assigned to it is that of Venus. The planet of desire and love. It is Chokmah and Chesed on a lesser sphere and is the “seat of desire”. It is part of the Ruach of the human soul. The Intellectual part of the soul. It’s color (on the Queen scale or B’riyah) is Green. Note that this is a mixture of the Yellow of the Balancing of Tiphareth and the Blue of Chesed, showing their connections. Not only that but Green is the color of Venus, which as I said is the Planet of this Sephira. The God Name assigned to this Sephira is YHVH Sabaoth (which we can say LORD of Hosts). It’s Archangel is Haniel. The Angels in this realm are those of the Elohim or “gods”. It is the Force that will go to Hod or Splendor and find its equilibrium in Yesod. This too, is one of the Spheres where we can grasp more. As opposed to the highest triad on the Tree of Life.
