Well, I need that plugin and I'd be willing to try it out for sure.

General Occultism / Re: What is your Great Work?
February 28, 2017, 09:58:14 AM
Ahavah Ain Soph. More or less, same as everyone else in a different way :P


When pondering the great work, it's a good idea to realize that anything that you can do is you, and therefore part of your "Purpose", you know, seeing as that you can't violate it You can't do something that "You" wouldn't do. When looking around, remember that the organizational system which can accommodate the most information is the simplest and most inclusive.


That said, I have a variety of projects to further the aim.

We could also do it like rounds maybe.
#20
So sort of like example one, but with each new person a new word is added like


P1: Lightning
P2: Storm
p1 repeats concurrently with P2: Lightning
p1 repeats, p2 repeats, p3: pandas
All: In Nomine

In nomine admirari, in nomine in magica, et sapientia: 156/663 excitaret. Quae influunt in calicem novum in mundo natus est


Potential wording?

APRIL FOOLS!

The purpose of this working is to clear channels in the web and its subsidiary components via a massive outflow of the pure current 156/663.


If we can overflow the system with an influx of current, and use currently constructed nodes as overflow valves, we should be able to blow out a lot of the stagnant ideas and gunk that have, potentially, been building for 15 years. In the end, the idea is to have clear channels. This should also briefly blast 156/663 out of each node, towards what result, only Khaos may decide, but I expect it to get weird. Long term, this means that each node should have clearer flow, the nodes which exist in spells should mesh better with the magic that's there, the nodes that exist in odd places for the purposes of oddness and magic-making should flow cleaner and more consistently, the possibilities for each of these will be less limited, and each node should get a bit more... active.

This is also a bit of a preparation test run for the working on Chelseanacht this year, the overall goals are similar but on different scales. Also this kind of clearing is kind of necessary when all the big lights start blinking. We don't want to turn on 30 city-sized nodes and have the web not be able to support that outflow for some reason making the result less than it could be.

Current idea for ritual structure (Thank you Axaeon):

A skype meeting or google hangouts of some sort for precise timing, all parties involved will have words of power to speak into a sigil which will be decided on before the working. The idea was to have this be done in a repetitive fashion building with each new voice added to the chorus. At the end there will be other words which are shouted/vibrated together. The visualization is as a storm which is directly building from an infinite point of light (Representing limitless possibility/chaos) The storm builds and a cloud begins descending as if the skies themselves were touching the earth. This storm is current 156/663. This continues until the last word when the cloud touches ground via the working's sigil and golden bright thread connects to each node and that potential/light/pure energy of khaos fills this web completely, oversaturating it on the last intonation and pours wholesale into the world through these threads growing brighter until it is blinding and comes rushing out of each node flooding the world with it.

More work needs doing, and input is appreciated always.

I really do love how the occult community at large seems to think dkmu is dead. Maybe it is, and we're just a ghost, an echo. I doubt it.
#24
I wonder why...

I'm also looking for refutations, so refute if possible.

So the word of the night is Entropy, the Second Law of Thermodynamics. There are a few definitions, which applies to specific systems, but the one which includes them all is "All closed ordered systems tend toward disorder." Now, there's a supposition there. If all closed ordered systems tend toward disorder, then all ordered systems are founded on, built atop, belied by, etc... Disorder.


Now disorder has a few names, randomness is one, Chaos is another, the really fun one here is Pure Information.Let me give an illustration, because that one's less intuitive. This illustration actually comes from a guy named veritasum on youtube, but it's a good one. So let's discuss video compression. Really all compression works this way, but videos are everywhere and compression common. So in most videos, frame to frame most of the pixels don't actually change. The compression software notes this, finds a pattern, then notes all the pixels that don't fit into that pattern (The random bits) and transmits those. That random part, that's the information of the file. A file which is unable to be compressed, that would be the video with the most information, would be random static, no coherent pattern anywhere frame to frame. Cool awesome.


So Underneath all ordered systems, all patterns if you will, is information. Sounds easy enough. Now something fun is that that information, that chaos, would either be or tend toward infinity. The reason why is that let's say you have one piece of information, you would then need a second to describe how it behaved, and another to describe the relationship between the two others, etc etc, ad infinitum. So we have gotten to at the base of all patterns, finite patterns, closed ordered systems, there is a sea of infinite information which those patterns emerge out of.


Continuing: If that is the case, and we can accept that, then it is a mathematic certainty that a pattern would emerge somewhere in that infinite random. We see pi do this, an infinite numeric string. You can find your phone number in pi. In fact, you would conceivably find all phone numbers on earth ever in order. IF we extended that random static infinitely, somewhere in that static sometime, the mona lisa would show up in all her glory. Anyway, so in an infinite sea of information (Or even one that tends toward infinity), in fact, all conceivable arrangements of patterns would emerge at some point somewhere. It is therefore a mathematic certainty that a pattern would show up which built complexity faster than it could be dissolved back into disorder. Increased in order at rate faster than it became disorder.


That's the universe, welcome, we're here, awesome.


We see this from as far back to singularity as we can go all the way until now. First a bunch of stuff shows up, and it's super chaotic, but there's some semblance of order, there's a way that stuff behaved. Then we see that stuff condensing into stuff like stars, a further increase of complexity, then we see stuff like planets orbits clusters, galaxies, further and further increasing the complexity of the pattern. Then we see (In our little sphere) life emerge, a very complex pattern increasing in complexity. Then consciousness, an extremely complex pattern which creates patterns. etc.


We could actually explain everything in the universe as some sort of interaction between the universe building complexity and entropy eating it. But you're here for model 6 magic, so let's do that. Beginning with synchronicity, what is that in reference to this? Important requisite. Just by the nature of the pattern of the universe it likes to build complexity, because it wants to survive, it's trying to continue existence. You think a thought, or say something, and the object of that thought shows up in front of you in weird ways. This is two parts of the pattern, seemingly unrelated, different sections, folding together, combining so that it can condense and go off to create more complex patterns now compressed a bit.


Magic, all of magic, does this extremely well, but it does it consciously. So, I am a mage. I have a stick, I name it fire. This stick is fire. Two unrelated pieces of the pattern are now linked within my pattern, I then take that and I link it with a third thing, the object of my will. Well this is the way, one of the ways, the universe does this itself, so it coils up and works. Why is belief such a great tool? You're incorporating that belief into your pattern, and the moment you do it becomes workable. You can then link it to other parts of the pattern. Why do we observe magical acts working best when forgotten? How do we explain the exceptions? When you forget after focusing on something, it drops into your pattern, rather than the part of you which is still building your pattern (Unconscious vs conscious). It can't link until you've made it link inside of you already. Same with the exceptions, they just mean that through one way or another, you dropped it into your pattern outside of simply forgetting about it.


Now I think we can explain God here, and gods in general. So if we do define consciousness as a very complex pattern which creates patterns, well the universe does that. In fact, you could call it the ultimate consciousness. God. All gods are other extensions of that. God is simply trying to survive.


We can also say that any action you have ever taken, will ever take, are taking right now, can conceivably take, all of those can be defined as one or more of four things:
1.)You can increase the complexity of the pattern. The hard sciences do that rather well, this wall of text does that, magic does this extremely efficiently. etc.
2.)Decrease the rate at which entropy eats the pattern. The social sciences do this quite well. Psychology makes me less likely to bash someone over the side of the head. Same with conversation and communication in general. Giving a shit about the planet, that helps. etc.
3.)Increase the entropy inherent within the system. Pollution does this. Pointless bickering does this. Doing really dumb shit usually does this. etc.
4.)You can reduce the complexity of the pattern. A good example of this is a nuclear bomb. That's a massive simplification device, it drops, goes boom, and a big part of the pattern is immediately eaten and dropped back into potential, into information. Murder also does this (Execution is a bit of a grey area).


By doing one of those first two, the constructive options, you are increasing the lifespan of the universe, which is why we're here. The purpose of existence. The meaning of life. As long as you do those, you will have lived a meaningful and purposeful life.


Anyway. If you have questions, just ask. Also, if ever you think of crediting me with anything (Not that you have to) but if you want to give credit, then do not mention my name without also mentioning Soror Kokabel in the same breath. She was instrumental, absolutely instrumental to this. She might have even come up with it first. Either way, lend her any of the credit you would lend me in this.

Let me know what's up. I'll likely be down, but I have some things I'm working with Alex dealing with results from this year. There's some crazy shit happening in our lives and in relation to this group. We'll post an update privately for the NOLA Operation 531 group.

So far, definitely Mr Hellfire, Axaeon, and myself. I need to talk to Branch again, since he was pretty gung ho about it last year. There's a potential Aletheia will be making a showing, though I think it's unlikely. Kiki has expressed interest in coming down. I really want Alysy to show up, but he has a lot of other stuffs going on. MQ was talking about coming last year.


So far the planning party has been myself, Axaeon, Hellfire, and some talks last year on the IRC with a bunch of people there. I've been asking questions of some old timers like Kael Mow to make sure I have some historical information correct. I also have chatted with more people in passing less extensively on various pieces of the puzzle.


We will likely see more RSVPs closer to the date, I have a feeling that perhaps Sam Hamilton will make a showing, but nothing and no one beyond the three I've mentioned are a definite yes.

Something like that, I'm still working with people to evolve the idea a bit, which has actually been going swimmingly. I'll be posting something soon on that evolved series of ideas.


There are a few goals in mind. One goal is to introduce programming into these entities to behave in such a way as to do almost precisely what you were saying. To act cohesively as a means and mechanism to facilitate initiation/progression along the initiatory path.


Another goal is to create a ritual which is simple and beautiful enough in essence, aim, and execution so as to utilize it as something which can be replicated by any group of 7 or more dkmu members upon meeting in such a way as to accomplish anything group oriented or even just for the hell of it due to its nature as a meeting ritual designed to strengthen the relational ties between the group. This is similar to many groups. Judaism has Minyan, when 10 men are assembled, certain prayers are augmented. This is derived from the Kaballah and the Sephirot of the Etz Chaim. Gardnerian traditions have certain rituals which every member of the tradition knows, and so when groups of them meet those rituals can be done in a cohesive and beautiful way.


A third aim, and a more physical one, is to edge DKMU into a more cohesive group, taking care to maintain diversity (BEAUTY! VARIETY! CONFLICT!) but also creating and strengthening common bonds, aims, and themes. A mechanism to make such an effect is already in place, just not utilized as such. This mechanism is the Godforms, seeing as that a large percentage of the group works with these entities, focusing such an aim through strengthening the bonds between the Godforms in certain ways is a good way to back up other work to be done.
The last aim is the creation of such a system of occultism/initiation which is as lasting, simple, complex, dynamic, adaptable, and self-sustaining as such systems as the Elemental, the Planetary, the Tree of Life, etc. This is being worked on separately at the moment between some peoples including myself.

That answer the question?

Something that I would point out is that, for those who otherwise could not otherwise be "awakened", forcefully shoving them into a different world tends to shatter them. My debate on morality as a whole notwithstanding, even this could be useful to the assault. It engrosses these people into an entirely different world, one farther outside of the norms than any sanity could reach, the only thing is, it's not useful to them. Those are the sorts of individuals I'm sure you've all seen. They took one too many tabs of lucy and their reach extended beyond their grasp. Now, due to their incoherence, they have become great tools for divination and not much else. They've become even deeper dreamers, living in a different dream.
