From The Eye of The Abyss |
 |
By Imhotepsol
I was a diligent student of the arcane arts yet aside from fleeting moments of revelation and enlightenment I felt that I was making no real progress, and worse than that I seemed to be doing little more than memorising page after page of ritual, various names in all kinds of ancient tongues, simply to spend hours then organising and performing these rituals. During this time it began to dawn on me that the psycho-pomp of ritual was something that was being taken completely out of context, and that most of our brothers lacked the basic understanding of what ritual was actually used for (I intend to write a different essay on this point at a later date). At this point I gave up my practice of Ritual, burned my books and began to seek a different path by following my own guidance.
I occupied myself with the simple thought that behind every pair of eyes I looked into, behind every object I could perceive on any level was the same life playing out in a different form. It didn't matter about the end it was moving towards, it didn't matter about the form that it had taken it was all a part of me. Gradually my perception changed as I became filled with this thought, the synchronicities which had left me for so long began to re-appear in my life, I noticed that what I expected to happen generally tended to happen in some form or another and because I wasn't as caught up in it's exact manifestation I was able to see it with better insight than before.

Musings On Reality |
|
By Norseman
As I wander the wilds, I ponder about on all sorts of things. What follows is the pondering on numerous wanderings. Bit disjointed but –what the heck !
This world is a physical thing, subject to natural laws. It is a molten lake surrounding an iron core and a thin crust on which life has developed. This world has a consciousness which some people refer to as Gaia and assign god-like characteristics to her. The use of the feminine gender is valid because she gave birth to us all. Some people may make acts of worship to Gaia but she demands nothing.
What we do, we do for ourselves. We work for our sustenance, we fight to protect it or gain more. We work to confound rivals. We fight from fear and hatred and spite and honour and loyalty and whatever other causes we might fashion. But everything we do, serves Gaia, no matter what we do. She is not benign, just amoral. We can thrive or destroy ourselves, it doesn't matter to her. She will just give birth to a different brood and start again.

Three-Fold Law - The Multiplier |
|
By Norseman
“….. it comes back at you on all three aspects of your life – mind, body, and spirit.”
This struck a thought chain. Firstly, there something about the trilogy in the human psyche – father, son, and holy ghost : maiden, women, crone : etc. The tripod or tryptarchy is a most stable form. Also think about the construction of the pyramids.
I would like to work on another : id, ego, superego.
I think also that I would like to propose that good and evil are just aspects of human thinking and behaviour. Evil is an aspect which is by common consensus and no-one is pure evil, so stands to reason that no-one is pure good.
We may think in our conscious mind that we have no ulterior motives in performing an act classified as “good”, but there is a major part of mind that is below the level of consciousness and this is the area of basic drives, instincts, and reactions – the flight or fight mechanism is a good example as it is purely biochemical in nature and not mediated.

Carl Jung and the Philosophy of the Occult |
|
By MAD
"All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination."
~Jung
Most of us are aware that the influential icon of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), an early disciple of Sigmund Freud, was the founder of modern day analytical psychology. However, sometimes overlooked are Jung’s associations with what we might deem the “occult” and “paranormal”, placing him side by side such popularized purveyors of mysticism as Aleister Crowley, Helena Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce.
While many of his contemporaries might have seen this as Jung’s finally “going off the deep end”, he was still widely regarded as one of the utmost intellectualists of his day, and his legitimacy in scientific fields greatly helped in bringing much needed validity and seriousness to certain areas of parapsychology and psychic phenomena.

Let there be light! |
|
By MAD
1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 - And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
~Genesis
The above passage is undoubtedly one of the most memorable and universal grouping of words ever to be assembled. For millennia we have given a special precedence to “light” as being the epitome of goodness, of “God”, of the creative source - ever opposed to darkness and the forces of evil. It is the representation of Gilgamesh fighting Humbaba, Horus in eternal battle with his brother Set, the light of Jesus battling the dark influence of Satanic forces (or the “Luciferian” principle, in which Lucifer is masked in light, albeit a counterfeit version according to Christian traditions).
