The Philosophers

I approach it from the opposite direction. I don’t think differences in quality can be reduced to differences in quantity. Thus I’ve coined the term “Quale Organics”–though in my last post I suggested that even inorganic existence is alive, yet we could equally well say that even “non-living” entities are organistic.

I agree though that this is what Crow seems not to understand. Force [understood from the inside] is will to power, and the “love under will” of the will to power is self-valuing. Crowley, who coined the phrase “love under will”, makes clear that this is not the Christian love (agapê) Crow confounds it with:

“There is then little indeed in common between Love and such tepid passions as regard, affection, or kindliness; it is the uninitiate, who, to his damnation in a hell of cabbage soup and soap-suds, confuses them.
Love may best be defined as the passion of Hatred inflamed to the point of madness, when it takes refuge in Self-destruction.
Love is clear-sighted with the lust of deadly rage, anatomizing its victim with keen energy, seeking where best to strike home mortally to the heart; it becomes blind only when its fury has completely overpowered it, and thrust it into the red maw of the furnace of self-immolation.” (Crowley, Little Essays toward Truth, “Love”.)

Compare Nietzsche’s definition, in Ecce Homo, of heterosexual love as “in its means, war, and at bottom, the deadly hatred of the sexes”; and:

“Other forms of love, such as agape, the universal, spiritual love praised in the Gospel of John, may certainly play an important role within specific cultural settings, but they cannot serve to found or constitute culture. The founding of culture requires as its catalyst nothing less than erôs, the most powerful, discriminating, egoistic and dangerous form of love known to humankind”. (Daniel Conway, “Love’s labor’s lost”. Cf. Conway, Nietzsche and the political, “The philosopher’s Versucherkunst”.)

If this is an instance of exoteric writing, what masterful use of that secret art! Immediately after saying “pattern = repeating”, the Crow repeats almost verbatim what he said in his previous post (not counting the Justin Jacobs quote):

But what does this mean if it’s not an instance of exoteric writing? Then according to his own logic it follows that he’s the human equivalent of a stone…

“Self” is the basic unit of being. That doesn’t mean beings are singular, it means beings are multiple but that this multitude is always somehow unified with-in-as itself.

Self means that of a multitude or plurality of different things it can also be said of them, “these are one thing”. The “one” doesn’t come at the expense of or opposition to the “many”, rather one and many are both the case and at the same time. And yes even rocks have this logical structure.

The fact that such structures act to persist as what they are, that their structure as “simultaneously one and many” is such that it moderates and modifies and selects interactions with what is not-itself in order to attempt to cause itself to endure rather than cease to exist, is what it means to say that “a rock self-values”.

What we call the self-valuing of living things, or conscious things, such as ourselves, is basically an extension of that same self-valuing that things like rocks also have. We are a more derivative, complex and dependent iteration and expansion of the same underlying logically principle and mechanism as much simpler and “non-living” things as rocks.

I think self is what we wanna be.
Maybe ego is the difference between that and reality.

In reality we dont exist, we just remember some events and then some new events happen. The impression it gives on us is worthy nothing only what we do with it, like it doesnt matter how hard the wind blows only how fast you can still walk.

Some people think the wind matters and they drift backwards.
That my philosophy anyway.

Well I have to say this is a pretty good explanation.

I’m going to be back here for a selective presencing, one might say in seance, to discuss great matters with the Ouroboros.

In the dirt of the dog-gone past we trace the future with the plow, oxen.
Now that the auroch is extinct it is up to men to carry the yoke of the wild.

I once took a stroll along Diana’s forbidden pond, and was told a story meant to inspire fear of water -
what it did was inspire a fear of the mind of the person that told it to me.

The name of the snake is Sun.

The West is the best.

Get here, we’ll do the rest.

You are remarkably talented when you let it flow naturally, forget intellectualism (for vids) and concentrate on the artistic.

Give birth to more of your ‘small gems’.

Thanks. Thats nice.

Phasing out of my own videos continues. I deleted the last video, this is an altered and longer version of it.

Do you know the warm progress
under the stars?
Do you know we exist?
Have you forgotten the keys
to the Kingdom?
Have you been born yet
& are you alive?

Let’s reinvent the gods, all the myths
of the ages
Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests
[Have you forgotten the lessons
of the ancient war]

–Jim Morrison, excerpt from An American Prayer

Do you value the notion of the “true world” at all? I do not think that such a notion can have merit, I do not think there is a the world at all - there is only a “monster of centers”… where these centers “self-appear” as well as appear to each other, in terms both of their own self-appearance and these others self-appearance. “The World” is thus, in a sense, a diplomatic affair.

  • I posted a hastily reviewed edit of the second episode, removed it. The final version is now rendering down and will be up in an hour or so.]
