Going straight for the lizard brain response (anger), or personal pride, whichever rises to the bait first.<br /><br />Entirely your call whether to engage or not Kikz, but I'm not going to waste my valuable time with such a sad sack of worn out online tricks.<br /><br />The technique in question was already becoming old hat in text-only Usenet circles back when the term "troll" was only just being invented, approximately '94 or so.<br /><br />If it had something useful and intelligent to say, to advance the discussion -- beyond "no it isn't" over and over again, or childish baiting -- perhaps there might be some value in persistence. (Perhaps its just arguing in its spare time... =)<br /><br />As it does not -- yawn -- there's only one way to deal with a "baiter", and that's to disengage. They crave the interaction, no matter how far it goes. Deny them this and eventually they will depart, seeking their strange satisfactions elsewhere.<br /><br />If they persist, your staunchest ally is patience. Best of luck.<br /><br />In my experience, the only thing arguing with a brick wall will earn you is a sore forehead.Miraculix Augustushttp://www.borderland.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-87039887358942251982010-02-27T02:22:21.540+11:002010-02-27T02:22:21.540+11:00james

I'm certainly not the only fool to propose these ideas over the last several centuries.<br /><br />Widen your lens mate.<br /><br />Stop hammering away at your favorite minutae for a moment and try addressing the BIG picture, as are the folks you're attempting to argue with. Or is that the entire point here?<br /><br />As for the forum, it's entirely Mr. N's and I have no formal role, sitting half a world away. Must admit, I did speak in the collective without asking permission. However, that was not "hubris", just a rhetorical device colliding with an unfortunate assumption on my part; that the open-minded regulars I've seen commenting here over the last year or so DO comprehend what I was angling at about power and the systems used to create and maintain it -- as evidenced by other replies.<br /><br />Only you seemed to take it personally.<br /><br />Meanwhile, you seem locked into a set of assumptions (monotheism, magick as blood ritual, Crowley as the instigator of all things deterministic) that bely your supposed scholarship.<br /><br />I'm going to leave Kikz to it, as I simply don't have the time to go 'round and 'round about the subject at hand (or any subject, really) with a dogmatist who would rather argue about how we are arguing than discuss the subject matter at hand and the larger philosophical propositions laid on the table.<br /><br />(I am reminded here of Michael Palin's statement during the 'Argument Clinic' sketch about what makes up an argument: "yes it is, no it isn't"... =)<br /><br />I said my piece and stand by it. Feel free to disagree until you're blue.<br /><br />But if you want engagement and discussion from this author, at the very least you're going to have to address the larger subject as it was presented and own up to your own use of quotations, et al.<br /><br />Sorry if this comes across dismissive, but it's all I've got left to give at this point besides ignoring the thread from here on out.<br /><br />Over & out...<br /><br />[And Kikz, if you click through the link embedded in the forum "nick", you'll get an initial taste and find a place to subscribe to an updates mailing list... =]Miraculix Augustushttp://www.borderland.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-72296317184059673052010-02-24T16:32:41.999+11:002010-02-24T16:32:41.999+11:00Kikz wrote-

I see I have stepped on some sacred corns. Or...Mir,<br />I see I have stepped on some sacred corns. Or at least, it looks like you think I have.<br /><br />I posted three comments initially; parts 1 & 2 were not responses to your opinions. They were my opinions on the subject of evil and magic in its service which was the topic under discussion. I even gave a definition of the magic I was commenting on.<br /><br />You extended the discussion of magic to a much wider application taking in all creativity. I considered this was actually off topic but made no comment and proceeded to offer my opinions on the topic as I understood it. So, of course, I "missed the boat" as far as you were concerned but not as far as I was concerned. <br /><br />Why would you think anyone posting a comment after you who does not address your points doesn't understand what you were saying? That smacks of hubris, at least, Mir.<br />And this, <em>"You may have missed the boat mate, but you're still welcome aboard when you can see past all those well-worn stereotypes."</em><br /><br />It's not your 'boat', Mir. It's Nobby's.<br /><br />Sounds like more hubris to me. Though you may have some proprietory interest in the blog that I am unaware of. In which case, you have my apologies <br /><br />My third post was addressed to you. I think it reasonable to assume from that that the first two were not addressed to you or your comments. Now this third post addressed your question of <em>"just who or what is this Great Architect anyway?"</em> by quoting someone I thought to have some authority on the matter. Don't like the answer? Fine by me.<br /><br />My second point addressed your quoting Crowley's without accreditation. Crowley is a whole universe away from what you were making a point about (everyday creativity) and you were clear in distancing yourself from that "Dark" end of the spectrum. Yet here you were endorsing his (and the OTO's) attitude and their intention is very plainly not selfless or anything close to it. I assumed you were unaware of the source and what it represented (what it was a symbol for).<br /><br />I went on to add a line about the addictive and narcotic effects of pursuing power over others. One of the early tell tales along the way is hubris, funnily enough. And hubris brings with it a distortion of reality. This is the definition, almost, of hubris. I have spent decades studying the effects of power as I spent years before that personally at the sharp end of it. People aren't born massively evil nor do they get that way in a day. They get that way over time, bit by bit; just like any other addict <br /><br />You said in your response to me, <br /><em>"Kikz' quick deconstructions above do a fine job of punching large holes in the set of platitudes you've brought to the party."</em><br />After reading my response to Kikz, do you still believe this to be so?<br /><br />Both you and Kikz have assumed I am Christian and of the fundo sort, it seems to me. Was it at my mention of God? My beliefs would not be welcome in any Christian church I know of.<br /><br />I read your posts carefully, Mir, and I agree with almost all of it. Indeed, life and creativity <em>are</em> magical, though I would use the word miraculous but that is because 'magic' has a much narrower meaning for me.jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-29861134405156682392010-02-23T16:58:04.363+11:002010-02-23T16:58:04.363+11:00I'm going to let you folks have that conversat...I'm going to let you folks have that conversation. I don't know that I have any definitive opinion on any of it. Ought I to? Probably, but I'm too dizzy. I'll just ask that everyone be nice. Mind you, I was the king of picking fights over at Les', so who am I to talk?<br /><br />Um, no Su, not me. Occasionally when I can't be nobody I'll be nobby but otherwise I don't jump around from name to name. And that aforementioned troublemaking effort is still on my desktop. It would have been finished except that I had to run around and do some chores. Once it's up, ideally people on some of those Madeleine usegroups will cross post to it so that the right people see it. I swear I'll be doing my absolute level best to call some people out, ha ha.

Have no doubt about it; this is a Middle Eastern style occupation which has NO interest in humanitarian relief. Doctors Without Borders said five of its cargo flights carrying 85 tons of medical and relief supplies were turned away during the first week while flights from the World Food Program were delayed up to two days. One WFP official said of the 200 flights going in and out of Haiti daily “most … are for the U.S. military.” According to the US representatives, they are not there to dig people out of the rubble but instead to enforce the law (whose law was not made clear), to aid recovery and provide stability. For ‘recovery’ you can read sweatshops; land grabs and privatisation and for ‘stability’ you can read stability for capital: low wages, no unions, no environmental laws, and the ability to repatriate profits easily. Why should the US think they need to have a possible twenty one and a half thousand troops to enforce the law when the Lieutenant Colonel in charge of operations described the situation as calm? As an example of how unruly the population is, a truckload of food showed up in a poor neighbourhood in the middle of the night unannounced. “It could have been a melee. The local popular organization…was contacted. They immediately mobilized their members. They came out. They set up a perimeter. They set up a cordon. They lined up about 600 people who were staying on the soccer field behind the house, which is also a hospital, and they distributed the food in an orderly, equitable fashion.… They didn’t need Marines. They didn’t need the UN.” <br />From this we can conclude that the lawlessness that might be expected is the same kind of unrest that that motivates the citizens of Iraq. <br /><br />I do not regularly follow Noam Chomsky, I have heard that he is a 95% truther and the other 5% you have to watch out for but like the little girl with a curl, when he is good he is very, very good. When asked why the United States is so obsessed with controlling a country so impoverished, devastated and seemingly inconsequential as Haiti, he replied: “Why was the U.S. so intent on destroying northern Laos, so poor that peasants hardly even knew they were in Laos? Or Indochina? Or Guatemala? Or Maurice Bishop in Grenada, the nutmeg capital of the world? The reasons are about the same, and are explained in the internal record. These are ‘viruses’ that might ‘infect others’ with the dangerous idea of pursuing similar paths to independent development. The smaller and weaker they are, the more dangerous they tend to be. If they can do it, why can’t we? Does the Godfather allow a small storekeeper to get away with not paying protection money?”<br /><br />(Much information from Arun Gupta).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-42634717363822374092010-02-23T02:54:15.269+11:002010-02-23T02:54:15.269+11:00FB pt1

I falsely (maybe) believed it was the ISP but it turned out to be a router / cable problem which hopefully is now sorted. <br /><br />All of what Mir said above, although I know very little of the nuts and bolts of Magik and can’t comment on this. Picking on some thoughts at random, I think all of us who comment here are on somebody’s list, it is not just a dubious honour for Mr Nobody. Mir said “So long as the wizards of selflessness hold to their modest, unassuming ways, they are left to spin away the days in their isolated caves. The danger they present to the status quo is in direct proportion to their visibility”….” Every time a hermit sticks their head out of the cave, the masters want to know. If a hermit takes a walk in the sun, the minions monitor. If they meet with others and spread heretical ideas, infiltration begins. If someone gets busy with those ideas -- POOF -- they are "terrorists". If they make the transition from word to deed, fire rains from the sky or the earth buckles beneath their feet.” <br /><br />These are true words. Navigating back to Haiti, the Americans may have been slow to get their act into gear but now they have arrived, you can be assured that they will be the last to leave. So far they have landed 6,500 ground troops with a further 15,000 standing offshore. They have taken control of Haiti’s air space and together with an assortment of US navel vessels including 9 coast guard cutters they are patrolling its waters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-35729272924428866742010-02-23T00:43:28.731+11:002010-02-23T00:43:28.731+11:00Have you been stirring trouble with the name Mark ...Have you been stirring trouble with the name Mark by some chance?sunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-24387280302203785992010-02-22T22:54:53.608+11:002010-02-22T22:54:53.608+11:00Some blood splattered Klown once breathlessly whis...Some blood splattered Klown once breathlessly whispered for his own inspiration while working up to a frenzied OMG moment, "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac".<br /><br />Most of these 'powerful' people seem to get off on having secrets that only they know and rejoice in that fact for itself...It makes them feel special and memetically weaponised because we don't know, and they're not going to tell so we'll never know.

Yes, at the dark end of the spectrum, there are plenty of psycho- and sociopathic types vainly wanking away, hoping to increase their power over the material world.<br /><br />I can't vouch for the effectiveness of these activities because I've never engaged in such nasty business -- it repulses me at a gut level, as well as on simple principle.<br /><br />My point is that YOU are practicing magick each and every time you invoke the written word. Your reply? Magick. Each and every time you act with intent and will in your own sphere of influence, you are acting in a magical fashion. No pentagram required.<br /><br />Just the fact that we are all breathing and alive and sentient feels like some BIG magick to me.<br /><br />Darkness never need enter into it, so long as you remain conscious of what you are doing, how you are doing it, whom you are doing it for and why you are doing it at all.<br /><br />Kikz' quick deconstructions above do a fine job of punching large holes in the set of platitudes you've brought to the party.<br /><br />From where I'm sitting, the Xtian/Judaic patriarch looks like quite the magick man, creating whole universes from scratch (Great Architect?) and turning people to pillars of salt for having second thoughts. A mighty vindictive one at that.<br /><br />[...regarding the earlier question posed about the "Great Architect" concept, please look up the word 'rhetorical'...]<br /><br />Sadly, I suspect what I'm trying to say here isn't going to register, based on the nature of your reply. Not much I can do about that, but here's hoping you take a long hard look and find something worth understanding.<br /><br />Did you also skim past all the associated ideas embedded in the earlier texts, re: institutions and systemic power and such like?<br /><br />No one is advocating the dark side. Quite the contrary. What I'm on about is the fact that power in our world exerts its influence PRIMARILY via such seemingly mundane means as the written word and the image (at a thousand words per frame!).<br /><br />These forms of magick are the fundamental stuff of creation. Without them, what would we have?<br /><br />Ask yourself, how exactly does the mainstream media brainwash so many otherwise seemingly sensible people?<br /><br />Via carefully-crafted language and images, the invocation of symbol and gesture, the very starstuff of all "creative" work today (editorial, film, etc.) and throughout history. As my individual gifts reside here and it's my chosen line of work, I do speak from experience.<br /><br />What they have accomplished is the theft of mythology and its fundamental role, taking over the tradition of storytelling via mass media -- and crafting a conflicting mass of modern fables that leave the vast majority who fall prey to its insidious influence twisting in the wind.<br /><br />That's some SERIOUS evil.<br /><br />Meanwhile, all the blood sacrifice and every other horror flick monstrosity inflicted upon an unfortunate few remains pure evil. I can't agree more.<br /><br />You may have missed the boat mate, but you're still welcome aboard when you can see past all those well-worn stereotypes.Miraculix Augustushttp://www.borderland.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-39357730957538144752010-02-22T20:48:25.466+11:002010-02-22T20:48:25.466+11:00Part 2

The magic would be gone . . . poof. <br /><br /><em>there is no evil incarnate.. except w/in the framework of operative freewill - in the hearts/minds of humanity... if there is evil in the world, it is the direct result of ill reasoned action by humanity.</em><br /><br />There is evil in the world, no question about that; nor that humans commit it.<br /><br /><em>satan/lucifer is simply a metaphor... for ill reasoned action and its consequence.</em><br /><br />I respect your belief and I'm sure it is held sincerely in complete accord with your experience. But, logically, you can't assert that because you are in the position of trying to prove a negative which can't be done. <br /><br /><em>if there were no freewill, there would be no choice to choose wrongly..no consequences to suffer.. and no possibility to evolve....</em><br /><br />I totally agree with you there, Kikz.jamesnoreply@blogger.com
