When you stare into the void, the void stares back. This is a paraphrase from Friedrich Nietzsche’s work Beyond Good and Evil (1886), where he warns, “He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you”. While his meaning… Continue reading The Void

Man And Machine
The Machine That Dreamed ItselfThe Final Integration of Man and MachineBy: Jason GrayThere is a story told about the future, that one day humankind will merge with its machines.It is usually spoken in tones of awe or fear, half prophecy, half warning, imagining a moment when flesh yields to circuitry, when the digital surpasses the… Continue reading Man And Machine
Light Being Dream
I had a dream a few nights ago. I was visited by a Light Being. It was humanoid in structure, two legs, two arms, a head and torso. The structure of ankles and feet were clearly defined and appeared almost mechanical. The face was hard to discern due to the brightness. Most of the “angel”… Continue reading Light Being Dream
God Wants Us Dumb
Lucifer. Means “light bringer/bearer”. Knowledge is equated with light. Why would Lucifer be the “bad guy”? The only way it adds up is if God wanted us ignorant. This appears to be the case when God was unhappy that we knew we were naked. “Who has told you you were naked?” Really? Did the God… Continue reading God Wants Us Dumb
Change Is In The Air
I have noticed recently that everything feels a bit off. Things seem to be backwards or sideways. My sense of direction is a bit wonky. I know where I am and where I am going, but it “feels wrong”. South feels like North. Everything is both familiar and strange at the same time. I feel… Continue reading Change Is In The Air

Stacking this by entering a “dream state” while in the dream, and then again results in… Continue reading Life Is But A Dream
Consciousness, Daemons and Magic
When you cast a spell, you may create a Daemon…a discreet unit of consciousness. Most such daemons have a limited span of existence, expiring when the spell accomplishes your intent…or fails to. Some spells are done quickly enough it may not be apparent that any consciousness left you at all. Such are projected intent and… Continue reading Consciousness, Daemons and Magic
Schrödinger’s Consciousness
The Law Of One Erwin Schrödinger’s statement, “The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings,” holds profound relevance to Hermetic philosophy, as it points directly to one of the most central tenets of Hermetics: the concept of The All. In Hermeticism, The All… Continue reading Schrödinger’s Consciousness
Instinct Or Intuition?
Instinct is an automatic thing, which makes it an expression of programming. The logic barrier is the protective mechanism between your conscious mind and your subconscious. We build this as one of the first structures of our personality in this life. It is built by those around us and our interaction with them. It is… Continue reading Instinct Or Intuition?
OOBE’s, NDE’s, Lucid Dreams and Astral Travel
The Twice Born ritual culminated in an intentional Near Death Experience (NDE). The duration of the “Death” was 7 days from the writings we have, which rather obviously exceeds reasonableness if the one involved were actually dead. The information that we have is incomplete, and even says so within itself, so we have to extrapolate… Continue reading OOBE’s, NDE’s, Lucid Dreams and Astral Travel
