okay, and so I have been thinking about it, and you know, some people are like charge my "sigil" - um, idk... seems like if masturbation/sexual energy was to "charge" a sigil then porn stars should be like GODS and maybe they are, idk, i don't think so... HEAR me out! -- but rather, for me and what I do with sigils is IMPLANT a suggestion - an intention into my unconscious -- for me magick is psychick in the sense of psychological-emotive-imaginary and delves into states of awareness -- this is not to discount energy but rather it is to bring this so-called energy into question and also to be a bit clear on what the fuck we are doing, as such, we use sigil, again to alter our mental program, energy has nothing or need have nothing to do with this, and we can take this from our personal unconscious to the material world outside our selves, that is the world we are embedded in - our environs and also effect the world with our suggestion which is what relates the Trade Mark to the Sigil... we are interest in developing these notions more clearly - perhaps you are to?

Greetings,


I want to get straight to the point. I am writing to find out who can (has the skills) to write up current DKMU documents (official, unofficial, and otherwise) in languages other than English (and its varieties, such as American or British)? Can you speak and write in more than one language? Are you from another country and (i don't know who we talk to, perhaps an admin) perhaps would be interested in hosting a mirror of this forum in your langauge? I don't know about the forum past (that's forward thinking), but translating DKMU documents into other language and spreading the word(s) internationally sounds like a plan! Can you help? Will you help!? Let me know, ASAP, and message me on fb, that way I am sure to get your msg (if you are interested in translating documents into another language, or can read OR write in another langauge, because we could use readers, even if they cannot write or translate into another language). Okay. Find us here (we also check back to the forum, weekly or so):

[Basically]

Okay. First I am seeking people who are familiar with these names: Jacques Lacan, Luce Irigaray, Walter Benjamin, and Isabella Stengers. And to a lesser extend also Georges Bataille, Antoin Artaud, and Bruno Latour.


Basically, I am interested in fleshing out the connections between Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Lacan's work on the unconscious and signs (aka the symbolic-imaginary-real S-I-R) connection with magick. For instance sigils understood from a Lacanian perspective. I am also interested in a critique of Lacan's work through the work of Luce Irigaray (for starters). One of my jumping off points, for what I call my Red Goddess project, is not only Irigaray's work, but using her work, "This Sex Which Is Not One," to undo and critique Walter Benjamin's text, "On Language As Such, and the Language of Man." Also, I seek to undermine the story of the fall as told by Benjamin in that same essay, by using the alternative figure, Simon Magus (our Gnostic starting point) as well as an old understanding of Adam Kadmon (universal Adam) as an intersexed hermaphrodite. I can give whomever more details about my work, if they are interested. I am also seeking someone who knows nothing about this work (but this is more down the road, maybe not) so they can be like, "I don't know, what's that about, what's that mean, explain more, more, etc" because that would be helpful for me to flesh out my work in its fullest. Okay. So... anyone else into these folks, what about Bataille or Derrida? Did you know that Burroughs & Gysin quote Jacques Derrida in The Third Mind.


Okay, another topic coming shortly, I am also interested in having a conversation, exploring with any and all who are interested the world of Oulipo, Exploding Galaxy, and whatever connections their might be to W.S. Burroughs, Gysin, and even TOPY.

Okay, ROCK! Oh, if you are interested in these topics, need some links, etc, more info, whatever... just reply here and I will do what I can to help, ofc.

for quick starters Hello to all:

Um, got into magick and meditation very young, and in the 90s new about some magick groups but never got involved, it was my work on William S. Burroughs and the university that got me re-involved this time more so online [but i have friends into magick irl - such as the Modern Mythology crew, and yeah others not to be named - here and now, Karrii]

so yeah, it was my work on William S. Burroughs (i was a comparative literature professor/grad student -- at Binghamton University) and for the last 15 years i have been doing school/work, but the last 7 or 8 really got back into magick, and The Red Goddess... so Burroughs and Gysin leads me to TOPI and TOPI to infinity network, around 2010, and infinity network back to DKMU which i had known about since a long time back (but never got on the IRC - but read a bunch of the work and started working with it on my own)... i was an internet kid in the 80s-90s, but stopped in like 95-2001, crucial years not to be online, but i was travelling and doing my own thing then, festivals and stuff mostly, rainbow too... okay... that's it for now... GREETINGS !

Hello,


To the point, we are seeking to connect with other DKMU members in the upstate New York region. We live on the PA boarder, NY stateside, about middle of NY State (between Binghamton, NY & Elmira, NY and are hence a 1/2 hour from Ithaca. We can drive, if need be. Okay.
