    The following short, radical conversation was held between me and a mate before a party. I thought it would be interesting to post it here and see what happens.


    (16:46:42) Offering to send BurnedBooks.mp3 to CHRISCHRIST
    (16:48:00) CHRISCHRIST: http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/cATZSHfl_TgL7vSn1mAjaiw3Hx6HOT4DznlgKYy8vD-0WciTXTY3PWpaGuFohEV0LphLYmowfdfwH-7ATuOXkW-3vdtaK6R-bZYwf-xelAUsEDP4c0H6nSNccKDERTIHrJpyxcPM/what%20is%20magick.txt

    (16:48:42) CHRISCHRIST: indeed
    (16:49:22) CHRISCHRIST: Or what science explains to be unexplainable
    (16:49:40) Dissident: exactly :p
    (16:50:42) Dissident: i remeber the pagans saying to me "remember the feeling of the first time you discovered magick and hold onto that feeling"
    (16:50:43) Dissident: lmfao
    (16:50:50) CHRISCHRIST: Ahh
    (16:50:52) CHRISCHRIST: lethal
    (16:51:14) CHRISCHRIST: Its like a weird stare into the sky.. eyes gleaming with nothingness..
    (16:51:18) CHRISCHRIST: just pure thought

    (16:53:19) CHRISCHRIST: simple
    (16:53:32) CHRISCHRIST: its like were only learning what we already knew
    (16:53:33) CHRISCHRIST: #lmfaoo
    (16:53:44) Dissident: very true
    (16:53:51) Dissident: i see it like this
    (16:54:04) Dissident: when you discover this information you experiance the stages of death
    (16:54:23) CHRISCHRIST: hmm
    (16:54:24) Dissident: if your strong enough you'll transcend the ego
    (16:54:36) Dissident: and be able to interact with the um

    (16:54:56) CHRISCHRIST: indeed man..
    (16:55:13) CHRISCHRIST: Its like How people are afraid to say what they want or mean..
    (16:55:19) CHRISCHRIST: because of the ego..
    (16:55:21) Dissident: increasingly
    (16:55:27) CHRISCHRIST: truth is simple. and beautiful
    (16:55:37) Dissident: the ego is a door
    (16:55:45) Dissident: i've shot some bullets through mine

    (17:20:11) Dissident: theres a certian tribe in the amazon who punch eachother in the chest and knock eachother over after they take ayahausa
    (17:20:29) Dissident: because when you take it you see the enities coming in and out of your chest
    (17:20:35) Dissident: the idea is to force them to stay in
    (17:20:42) Dissident: and absorb there engery
    (17:20:48) Dissident: why would i want to banish them?
    (17:20:51) Dissident: lol

    (17:23:24) CHRISCHRIST: as in the populatin
    (17:23:39) Dissident: its outside of the flocks control
    (17:23:50) Dissident: think about this one
    (17:24:18) Dissident: the moon, sun stars etc all have an effect on the planet and the organisms that dwell on this planet
    (17:24:57) Dissident: wouldn't us putting metallic objects into orbit do the same thing?
    (17:26:51) CHRISCHRIST: yea.. man
    (17:27:04) CHRISCHRIST: everything is controled by cause and effect
    (17:27:08) CHRISCHRIST: emphisis on everything
    (17:27:12) CHRISCHRIST: lolol
    (17:27:13) Dissident: determinism
    (17:27:17) CHRISCHRIST: ahhha
    (17:27:21) CHRISCHRIST: I agree
    (17:27:25) Dissident: see i believe the past is merely a fading memory of the now
    (17:27:32) CHRISCHRIST: Hmm
    (17:27:43) Dissident: or even that time is fractal and that we are being pulled towards the future
    (17:27:54) CHRISCHRIST: Well.. i see what yer saying...
    (17:28:10) CHRISCHRIST: dETERMINISM.. IS in essence.. e
    (17:28:14) Dissident: but as you know its hard to paint that picture due to the constrains of language
    (17:28:18) Dissident: or limits of
    (17:28:33) CHRISCHRIST: giving us life out of a continious randon change..
    (17:28:37) CHRISCHRIST: big bang..
    (17:28:41) Dissident: yes :p
    (17:28:52) Dissident: and determinism rules out free-will
    (17:29:00) CHRISCHRIST: jsut the word would makje ye think its a set thing..
    (17:29:03) CHRISCHRIST: indeeed
    (17:29:33) CHRISCHRIST: But uopon thinking .. How cycles change..
    (17:30:02) CHRISCHRIST: Stars .. worlds .. universes. metaverses.. thennnnnnnnnnnnn it getts bigger..
    (17:30:06) Dissident: its a very intuitive idea since we don't yet know what consiousness is and the mass definition of time isn't necessarily accurate
    (17:30:14) CHRISCHRIST: But what about this smaller and smaller
    (17:30:33) CHRISCHRIST: is right..
    (17:30:35) Dissident: can we really say weather its smaller or bigger?
    (17:30:41) CHRISCHRIST: lmaoo
    (17:30:47) CHRISCHRIST: mybe thats our falicy..
    (17:30:57) CHRISCHRIST: not know weather what we know is true
    (17:31:40) CHRISCHRIST: or even that it could possibly be the simplist explaination of all..
    (17:32:18) Dissident: the way we think humans can understand everything?
    (17:32:18) CHRISCHRIST: You are a universe.. whole and incomplete.. constanty changeing and moving throught space/time. As am i.
    (17:32:26) CHRISCHRIST: same with the plants and ****..
    (17:32:31) CHRISCHRIST: yea lmaooo
    (17:32:33) Dissident: when science put underscience is un-scientific

    (17:33:58) Dissident: when you choose your god
    (17:34:03) Dissident: you are creating your god
    (17:34:08) Dissident: therefore you are god
    (17:34:09) Dissident: lol
    (17:34:49) Dissident: that's what i understand god to be
    (17:35:02) Dissident: but i'll give it a gander
    (17:41:39) CHRISCHRIST: indeed.
    (17:41:47) CHRISCHRIST: We are our own representation of god..
    (17:41:51) CHRISCHRIST: but in reality
    (17:42:07) CHRISCHRIST: the Energy of electromagnatism..
    (17:42:24) CHRISCHRIST: which is born out of alchemy..
    (17:42:35) CHRISCHRIST: Is what holds onto the egg and sperm..
    (17:42:39) CHRISCHRIST: that -2 volts
    (17:42:51) CHRISCHRIST: plus the 2 volts of the egg.

    (17:43:13) CHRISCHRIST: lolol
    (17:43:22) CHRISCHRIST: he explains much better lmfaooo
    (17:44:44) Dissident: that's just your definition of when life begins, i could say that life behinds when the sperm is forming in the lads sack, or the look in his eye or during the act or when the sperm penetrates the egg, but the general argeement is that we refer to the act of violence
    (17:45:24) CHRISCHRIST: Ach well i hear ya..
    (17:45:25) Dissident: don't get me wrong i know what your talking about but remeber what i said above about the past being a fading memory of the now
    (17:45:31) CHRISCHRIST: But life begun with a sound..
    (17:45:33) CHRISCHRIST: a thought.
    (17:45:45) Dissident: well the world is made of sound and language
    (17:45:55) CHRISCHRIST: Hmm.. what is languange
    (17:46:18) Dissident: darwinists think of it as a mutation
    (17:46:31) CHRISCHRIST: mearly representations of symbols all meaning the same thing in each part of worllld. in all head
    (17:46:44) Dissident: i think of it as a human advancement made from the mushrooms
    (17:47:00) Dissident: true true
    (17:48:06) Dissident: is language alive? hehe
    (17:48:11) CHRISCHRIST: ILolol

    (17:54:00) Dissident: we both slide away from the general nostaigia within the intellectual community and continue to look for truth dispite the pain it may cause, therefore we relate well cause we are both intellectual sado-masicists

    I'll comment on that, for the lulz...I'm a lapsed magician anyways, so I'll 'play pandit' for Great Justice and hopefully philosophical explication...
    magick is what can't be explained my science

    Not is you are an empirical Magician on lines pushed by Crowley in the Occult side, or say Ken Wilber if talking Zen-Transpersonal. Then Magick is science. You follow an injunction or praxis, a result follows, and you check that against a peer group. Magick is what science isn't puts magick more with god-of-the-gaps religion, which isn't imo a fertile place for it.
    the ego is a door/i've shot some bullets through mine/so i can have a peak through/ i could kick it through now if i wanted lol/mightn't be the best idea tbh

    Heartily agree. What's interesting about the door metaphor is that the ego then is both a barrier and a way through, both a tool and an obstacle. Whether talking about magickal practice or spiritual development, you probly need a *very* strong and coherent ego to go about going past that. Knocking apart a ego that wasn't that integrated to begin with looks tres messy; the Gurdjieffian idea of a False Ego Centre as opposed to something closer to True Will is handy. Wilber's pre-trans fallacy on transegoic states is also worth a gander, getting rid of your ego doesn't necessarily mean going beyond it; the ego is a platform, or better a scaffold, for whats meant to come after. Demolishing it, or knocking it sideways (as you can with psychotropics) might not mean a mansion in the sky so much as a pile of rubble on the ground.
    yes dog.. beware casting out you deamons.. you may be getting rid of the best part of you..

    There's a bit of Indian philosophy I can't remember, but it echoes parts of the Bardo Thodol, that the asuras and the devas are the same thing; you just happen to be perceiving them differently. Bu that's getting into non-dual insight, and words fail, inevitably. But practically, what you perceive as demonic likely holds much of your personal power, in a disowned form, if you grok me.
    when you choose your god/ you are creating your god/therefore you are god/that's what i understand god to be

    Peter Carrol and Phil Hine would agree with you, but most of their books start with the caveat that following their advice means you are likely to go insane. Just so as you know. Realising your own implicit divinity can be a humbly enlightening experience, but calling out 'I am God' seems much more likely to be hubris.

    Accepting provisionally godforms and conscious effects, there's also the advantage that generally shared ones are safer. Invoking Jesus, as most Christians are encouraged to is a far less dangerous psychic activity than invoking Screaming Lord Chrischrist; its a well-trodden psychic path in a community of believers. There's also less of a danger of identifying your False Ego as divine, which generally would be a narcissistic route to take...

    On determinism and free will (wowza! board-appropriate!) within the stuff you are talking about, strange attractors pulling us forward doesn't equal a hard determinism; the party at the end of time, the Eschatonic Singularity, isn't necessarily decided in outcome. And assuming we are (maimed, descended, returning) Gods, as in the Gnostic and other traditions, choice is quite compatible.

    Chaos and turbulence, baby!

    "if it was upto me to save the world, what would i think, what would i do?"

    The Bucky Challenge take cojones; gotta love Bucky. In some ways this is the only real moral question; Alan Moore echoes it in Watchmen...'if everything you know could be destroyed in the next 3 minutes, what wouldn't you do?'.
