Modern man is seduced by the flow, mistaking dissolution for progress, blind to how all things tend toward decay. The voice urging surrender to the current is not life-affirming—it is the incantation of the death impulse, whispering, ‘The snow is warm, the ice is hot.’

Nietzsche saw modern hubris as self-violation—nature conquered, God slain, the soul dissected. But he never mistook blind mechanism for greatness. Accelerationists crack nuts and call it progress, but do they taste the fruit or just worship the husk, mistaking motion for meaning?

@icono_clastic I saw your response to me but when I went to reply, it vanished like smoke. The trends you have been noting are apparent to me as well. It fills me with great despair, b/c one sees the many guises that the abyss adorns itself with to attract and ensnare, sticking one to the void.

Pascal’s wager => Roko’s basilisk {“I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream”/Terminator} => atheist tech bros => accelerationism => Calvinism => demiurge => Hyperstition => Egregores => passive nihilism masquerading as active nihilism => transhumanism => non-duality => the singularity => ?

@icono_clastic It strikes me that what is most necessary is for the falconer to attend the falcon all the more. Perhaps the falconer has more need of the wisdom of the falcon.

@icono_clastic I really appreciate your post, because there is certainly an angle of youthful folly by which westerners in these rationalist circles seem to use Buddhism as a justification for escapism and nihilism, claiming to embrace the flow of degeneration rather than valiantly fight it.

@icono_clastic I have found that the best way to communicate this subtle point (which often seems to boil down to mismatched semantics) is by applying McLuhan’s brilliant insight “the medium is the message” to subjective experience, the experience of a self. The painful task of making meaning.

The “no self” concept in Buddhism is the same thing to me as the Puer Aeternus. The Puer refuses incarnation. Refuses to “land.” Refuses to become something specific because that means giving up the fantasy of being everything (how is the different from Buddhism?). It’s a flight from embodied reality because being human means one can’t be God…and one wants to be God/not commit to a self to avoid suffering.

Sincere affection in the open. Why should anything so deep and genuine cause embarrassment or shame?

Excerpt from Hávamál—The Words of Odin the High One
The image of Odin alone among the quiet reeds, his heart a trembling lyre, strung taut with yearning; no solace in the world could mend the silent void his belovèd’s absence left.

Even the gods themselves are not untouched by sorrow. It’s worth reflecting on the irony of these lines being spoken by a mortal to the goddess Demeter herself.

Though a friend and I both hit upon this image the other week in a telepathy exercise after the image-sender said they’d fixed it on my face. The answers we both gave were not what the sender had transmitted to us, but something we had both perceived in the energy of my face.

@JungianPeater If that’s your first attempt at drawing, you’re off to an excellent start. I can’t wait to see more of it.
English
@arethusaspake Amazing, that looks great. Im a total beginner but I suspect learning anatomy or shapes instead of drawing from sight is mostly useful if you’re making up new things and don’t have extraordinary clear visualization

@JungianPeater @_mm980 I was fiending for information on the golden elixir and that’s how I ended up discovering him. Painfully little is said about the particulars of the hieros gamos of fertility cults in the west, so I thought I would turn to the eastern literature. Mantak is a humorous sage.

@arethusaspake @_mm980 I laughed out loud at seeing this image. Mantak Chia is so funny. I remember watching him on sex magic or something, still not sure how serious he is

@JungianPeater I love drawing. I need to take it up again. It does so much for the mind. Jung’s Red Book is honestly incredible for the fact that he wasn’t a visual artist …

I have no formal training in drawing and rely entirely on my eye, because I refuse to learn anatomy. And I found his method the most effective for training the eye. My stab at his plates:
