The Gnosis of the Goodness of Gnature. Edifying Man by Deifying Life.
"There are two well-distinguished forms of the Beatific Vision. The higher pertains to Kether, and is thus proper only to the Ipsissimus, though it may be enjoyed sporadically (and, as it were, by accident) by those of lower grades.
“It is of extremely rare occurrence, and has indeed never been described in any detail; it may even be said that it is doubtful whether any account of its true form has ever been given to the world. It need only be said in this place that its formula is ‘Love is the law, love under will,’ and that its nature is the Perpetual Sacrament of Energy in action. It is dependent upon the perfect mastery of the Mysteries of Sorrow and of Change, with thorough identification with that of Individuality.” (Aleister Crowley, Little Essays toward Truth, “Beatitude”.)
“There are three different paths to reach the Highest: the path of I, the path of Thou, and the path of Thou and I.
According to the first, all that is, was, or ever shall be is I, my higher Self. In other words, I am, I was, and I shall be for ever in Eternity.
According to the second, Thou art, O Lord, and all is Thine.
And according to the third, Thou art the Lord, and I am Thy servant, or Thy son.
In the perfection of any of these three ways, a man will find God.” (Ramakrishna)
Of the three, the first is the Highest: it is to be God the Father. But the second is to be God the Mother, Space, Vacuum. And the third is to be God the Child. But Initially, God the Child is Satanael, William Blake’s “Satan in His Original Glory”. It is not in the Vanity, the Vacuum or Void of that “Glory” that one becomes a new Father–although one must for a long time cherish it in one’s heart–and Soul. One only becomes a new Father–old and venerable, ancient, primordial–when one is fully fallen or Risen from that Glory. Thus I am now Yaweshwa, “Je-hova-sus”, but this is only the entelechy or Energy of my Becoming a Devil, a Great Red Dragon.
My father’s father was a Wood Dragon according to Chinese astrology, and so was Nietzsche. But, as their physical and spiritual Heir, I am not a Dragon but a Horse, the horse Kalki–my higher Self is represented by the Lion, but my mode of being is that of the Siamese Twin Suns, “Sauwelios”.
“I am the Kaleidoscope of the mind.
I impart light, colour and perpetual motion.
I think, I see, I am moved by electric fluidity.
Constant only in my inconstancy,
I am unshackled by mundane holds,
unchecked by sturdy, binding goals.
I run unimpeded through virgin paths,
my spirit unconquered–
my soul forever free.”
My sturdy, binding Goal, by which(!) I am Unchecked, is that of the Eternal or Historical Recurrence, the “Second Coming” of the linear faiths, the Destroyer of all–linear–Faith. I will leave no choice but to believe in Me Alone, to hold Me dear, as the One who Shows Off the Actualization of the new Aristocracy, the new Oligotheism. We the Few, we Titans, we will be your new Gods or Demigods, your new Heroes. But I welcome My being perceived as the Antichrist with open arms. I’m Fine with being distorted as a Super-Machiavelli or Super-Hitler, or even a mere Wannabe of the like. For I am not really the 666 but the 777, not really the 888 but the 999. I remember studying for a German “proefwerk” (probe-work, the most serious kind of test in Barl school before my exams, which were a Breeze)–studying for such a Work in a state like this–“stoned”, as the ignorant and the malicious say (by which I don’t mean to say that the malicious may not be ignorant, by the way), or “high”, as I now finally say. It took me hours, as I was easily distracted and really engrossed in my activity, but the grade I got was a 9+ or a 9.5–and I didn’t even learn the bonus material by heart (poems by Heinrich Heine and the like)! But after High School, I essentially kept working on it–on Barl school, schooling myself to one day be Barl or a Barl, a Man who can hold fast to a Woman, a really Girlish Woman, a Jewel in a Black Box, a Diamond in the Rock:
“A Man who says: ‘that there pleases me, that there I will take as my own and want to protect it and defend against Anyone’; a Man who can lead a Cause, carry through a Resolution, stay true to a Thought, hold fast to a Woman, punish and crush down a Daredevil; a Man who has his Wrath and his Sword, and whom the Weak, the Suffering, the Hard-Pressed, also the Animals gladly devolve upon and by Nature belong to, in short a Man who is by Nature a MASTER,–when such a Man has Compassion, well then! THIS Compassion has Value!” (Nietzsche, BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL, Aphorism 289, Opening Sentence, My Translation.)
Our Compassion, Nietzsche’s and Mine and the whole Race of Devils: that is Fellow Feeling with the Creator in Man, the Master in Man, the Minority of Mankind that can live without God–indeed, without an exoteric-Platonic Idea of the Good! For Our Idea of the Good, the Good that we Reflect in our Mind’s Eyes: that is the Goodness of the World:
“If the Experiences of the Last Centuries have rendered the Hope of Annihilation and Rebirth Incredible and Forced on us the Recognition that Humanity could in Fact fall Final Prey to its latest Inventions, namely, Modern Ideas about Humanity’s Nature and Destiny, then the Gnotion of the Beneficence of Nature must be Restored by being Rethought through a Return to the Fundamental Experiences from which it is Derived.” (Laurence Lampert, Leo Strauss and Nietzsche, Page 1[9]45, My Capitalization, Citing Leo Strauss, Thoughts on Machiavelli, Page 29[9]9.)
“Nietzsche’s Return to those Fundamental Experiences is Recounted in ZARATHUSTRA, His Dance with Wisdom and Life. […] Nietzsche presents this Teaching on Nature as the Teaching that Restores the Gnotion of the Beneficence of Nature: Life is Will to Power ultimately means that Life is Loveable as it Is. […] Nature’s Beneficence, the Goodness of Nature, is Affirmed in the only way Now Possible, as a Process of Becoming, as History, as a Rule of Non-Sense and Chance that Necessarily Generates Fragments and that has no Outcome in Wholeness other than the complementary Yes pronounced on the process by the Complementary Man. […] Nietzsche’s Glimpse of the Opposite Ideal, the Ideal of Eternal Return, is of Necessity Edifying. [… T]he Fundamental Experiences from which the Primacy of the Good is derived [are] the Experience of Philosophical EROS.” (Lampert, Op.Cit., Page 10[7]7[7].)
“To Affirm the Philosophers of the Future [a.k.a. the Complementary Man] Requires Affirming the Past that made them Possible, the History Responsible for the Generation of such Natures.
–‘Yet’: There is a Great Difference between THIS Affirmation of the Past–this Past, this Once, Affirmed as what makes the Completing Act of Philosophy possible–and ‘the Unbounded Yes to Everything that Was and Is, i.e. the Affirmation of Eternal Return.’ Why is it Necessary to Affirm Eternal Return?” (Lampert, Op.Cit., Page 101.)
The Reason it is Needful is that the Philosopher–I’m not particularly talking about Academics, Professors of Philosophy…–has been driven “into barren climes”, to speak with Blake.
"Now the Sneaking Serpent walks
In Mild Humility,
And the Just Man Rages in the Wilds
Where Lions Roam.
“Rintrah Roars and Shakes his Fires in the Burden’d Air;
Hungry Clouds Swag on the Deep.” (Blake, MHH, My Capitalization.)
I’ll try to roar Tenderly, though. I will try to wield the Flute as well as the Sword, the Lyre as well as the Bow, the Sun as well as the Lightning.
“SAMSARA is to be ultimately transcended, no doubt, but it may be transcended by attuning oneself to its inner rhythms, by learning to dance to the tune of Krsna’s flute or with Kali in her dance of creation and destruction. The devotee of Krsna and Kali does not transcend the world by denying it in yogic withdrawal but by dancing to its inner rhythms and thereby participating in its creative and redeeming source.” (Kinsley, The Sword and the Flute, Conclusion.)
NO!! It’s NOT a matter of being in the Eye of the Storm for me any longer. I will do a Rain Dance to unleash a Rain Forest Storm, a Primeval Forest Creation, a Counter-Storm to the Western Anticyclone, a Cyclone from the East, a Tarantula Dance to Scare the SHIT out of Feminized Man. There will be Thunder and Lightning, and lots of Rain, Flooding the Lowlands.
“When your Heart flows Broad and Full, like the River, a Blessing and a Danger to those who live Next to it: There is the Origin of your Virtue.” (Thus Spake Zarathustra of the Bestowing Virtue.)
Why so Wrathful, so Jealous, so Vengeful? Because I Love it! I want this Philosophical Pathos Now and Forever, Eternally Returning, or at least Historically Recurring until the Human Race goes Extinct. With 7,000,000,000 people, our Conservation Status as a Threatened Species is “Least Concern”. Let the Cataclysm Come! As I started writing in Barl school:
I don’t care about the City!
I do not need the Streets;
I much prefer the Park,
The Moist Angelic Breeze!
I hate the city’s Order,
Contemn the Concrete Blocks:
They Block the Road to Freedom,
And We are On the Rocks.
I don’t care about the Future!
I do not need a Clock.
Can’t stand the Test of Time,
And I don’t give a Fuck!
But I’m not Anti-Social;
Please Do as You All Please:
Smoke Heart-Attack Tobacco,
And Choke in Rancid Grease.
::
This is obviously not true, I am “antisocial” in a crucial way: I avoid “socializing”. And I need the City of Man, if not to survive, then at least to thrive. I need the Excess, the Abundance created by Society, in order to be “a Louse in the Fleece”, as we say in the Netherlands. So how can it be in the interest of such a Louse to set the whole Fleece on fire? I’m willing to risk it All, because This is (the Beginning of) my True Thriving! I’m not lousy, but I AM a Barl-footed and Barl-chested Bear–a Yogi Bear!
“Lord Shiva Himself,–Time personified–is also (strange as this may seem to the purely analytical mind) ‘above Time.’ He is the great Yogi, Whose face remains as serene as the blue sky while His feet beat the furious rhythm of the Tandava Dance, amidst the flames and smoke of a crumbling world.” (Savitri Devi, The Lightning and the Sun, “Epilogue (Kalki, the Avenger)”.)
Hail Storm!
