The loss of naiveté
"The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind....We have witnessed for more than a quarter of a century the struggles of the two great political parties for power and plunder, while grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon the suffering people. We charge that the controlling influences dominating both these parties have permitted the existing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they promise us any substantial reform.....They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives and children on the Alter of Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order to secure corruption funds from the millionaires." -People's Party
Money is power over other people. I imagine a way of living were I can find happiness without invoking the power of Mammon. Money is evidence of servitude to a corrupt monetary system. We don't service our fellow man in return for money, we service the capital masters in return for their favor. Why is a poor man less deserving of your service then a wealthy man? I find happiness in supporting those who don't feel entitled to my service. I am a Libertarian Socialist.
It has been suggested that Ayn Rand was a Rothchilds mistress and that she was a Druid Witch of the Illuminati. Lady Gaga is also thought to be a Witch of the Illuminati because of her use of occult symbolism, as does the dollar bill, but that is because of the belief of magick behind the symbols, not because they're a part of a grand conspiracy. There are people of all factions within the music industry and politics, but ultimately what is popular is what we want. Occult symbolism works on our subconscious to make us want it more, but what's the answer? Illegalize magick because it works? Freedom means freedom. Freedom means that we're all allowed to partake of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Freedom means awakening to a far more complicated world then we could have imagined. The loss of innocence, the loss of naiveté.
"The time is coming when we'll all have to choose: either the crushing, soul-rending orthodoxy of the Conspiracy or the anarchic, radical freedom of The Invisibles. One makes the world what it is, while the other shows the world what it might be. Right now, things don't look very good for the other." ~Grant Morrison
Western science is a materialistic pursuit. And that also summarizes many of it's failings. All that hard work to disregard the effects of perception and placebo, when perception and placebo craft our entire reality. The argument of materialism vs spiritualism is a false dichotomy. We are all at the mercy of physical AND spiritual demands. If each human is an intersection point in these two contradictory realities, then humanity is a plane of existence slightly removed from both. Ultimate purpose may be beyond the comprehension of the individual, but if each individual follows their perceived purpose, then as a whole we can start to imagine an ultimate purpose... or at least that's what my muse suggests. It has been wrong before.
The Collective unconscious can become, and is becoming conscious. Thanks in large part to the Internet, Facebook, and much more advanced forms of communication & analysis just around the corner. I choose to see the New Age as the emergence of a conscious humanity. I can't define the bounds of this conscious humanity, but I'm sure that as long as we believe it can not come close to the power of The Demiurge, then it won't. I imagine that we are only what we imagine ourselves to be.
"This is the awe-inspiring universe of magic: There are no atoms, only waves and motions all around. Here, you discard all belief in barriers to understanding. You put aside understanding itself. This universe cannot be seen, cannot be heard, cannot be detected in any way by fixed perceptions. It is the ultimate void where no preordained screens occur upon which forms may be projected. You have only one awareness here — the screen of the magi: Imagination! Here, you learn what it is to be human. You are a creator of order, of beautiful shapes and systems, an organizer of chaos." ~The Atreides Manifesto
