Last post by Maelhavok - August 15, 2021, 08:17:59 PMHow do you propose avoiding the inevitable growth of more fascism in response to a direct assault on it? Fascism thrives on having Enemy Others to blame for everything. How would we avoid becoming one more collection of "useful idiots" who gave them a convenient enemy to focus on?

The Assault on Reality / CHELSEANACHT 2021 | Unfash t...

Chelseanacht is coming.
'UNFASH THE WEB' is my suggestion for this year's theme. LS and the DKMU is inherently anti-authoritarian. Exploration of differing realities is directly opposed to mono-culture and ideologies that seek to enforce it. Sure, in a limited space and time you can have a mono-culture, or a reality that is intolerant of opposing realities in the same space. This is necessary for there to be any distinct things at all, apart from one undifferentiated blob.
But authoritarian ideology wishes to impose itself upon all spaces and at all times. That is the difference.
Furthermore, for exploration to be possible, free travel between these realities is necessary. One would think any dipshit could figure out that the Assault on Reality is antifascist and anarchic, but apparently this isn't the case, and forces attempt to co-opt our work. Therefore I suggest that the intention of this year's sigil and associated workings be to reinforce the anti-authoritarian intent of the AoR and push out or destroy these recuperative forces from the web and all spaces which it touches.
This is not the same as destroying local order or local realities. We want a multitude of realities, overlapping and with roads between. It is the same as destroying vast mono-cultures which attempt to be or present themselves as The One Reality and power structures which rely on the inability of their slaves to escape to somewhere better. Particularly anything which propagates itself by enslaving the mind and spirit of its adherents by hiding the existence of alternatives, or presenting these alternatives as unrealistic. This includes, but is not limited to national bureaucracies, capitalism, domestic abuse, religious cults, schools, prisons and police, most mental illnesses, media saturation, poverty and terrorism committed by large military powers.
The assault on (consensus) reality has always proposed that the disappearance of magic in our worlds is caused by the suppression of imagination due to these, and allied, factors. Let's make that really clear to everyone. Let's make it so that any archist or statist who touches the web is ensnared and drowned in empathic knowledge, or else burned explosively.

The Art Lab / Memories and Mysticism Tribute
Last post by Robert Solvec - June 16, 2021, 12:01:23 AMI don't know how many people here are into this kind of thing, but I was listening to stuff online as per usual and smiled when I heard a navy seal nonchalantly defend magic and supernatural phenomena like it's common knowledge. It makes sense to me that people in the SOCOM field would stumble into various states of gnosis considering the mental and physical extremes they push themselves towards on a regular basis (as well as the indigenous cultures they interact with), and I was glad to hear that it seems SO1 Marcus Luttrel is no stranger to it. So I decided to tag with a simple art video
It's kinda funny because I get the impression that Rogan is a believer too but both of them seem to be keeping the language 'sterile' and trying not to sound too woo woo for a mainstream channel. Anyways, nothing revelatory but I found it interesting and inspiring. To summarize, the night before this conversation, Marcus woke up late at night from a thunderstorm, and Rogan also woke up that night after having a dream where he was experiencing Luttrel's memories about dying of thirst and having blood and dirt caked in his mouth as he was fleeing from the Taliban forces that ambushed and killed the rest of his team, one of those strong synchronicities. Luttrel's story was turned into the film Lone Survivor (2013) and I'm amazed that he seems to be functioning very well with his PTSD for everything he went through

The Study / Re: A Thelemic View on Fiction
Last post by Robert Solvec - May 18, 2021, 05:12:22 PMNow that I think of it, fiction can be looked at like kind of a buffer zone for reality. Not so much that it renders reality necessarily, but it's an "experience" we can have and learn from without having to actually be in the situation. I find my personality is very influenced by music, stories, and artwork of all kinds, and would consider it an important part of real life

The Study / A Thelemic View on Fiction
Last post by Moon1ight - May 17, 2021, 11:43:46 PMI'm often drawn to fiction, but find it unfulfilling when I pursue it. I've been wondering about what its proper role is. I think I understand now.
The Paradox
Producing fiction - games, novels and so on - is apparently the True Will of some people. However, it's hard to imagine that consuming fiction is someone's True Will. So are the producers to create for nobody? That seems wrong.
The Resolution
"Fiction conveys experience" (https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/fiction) says Yudkowsky. However, reading Sword and Sorcery fiction won't teach you *much* about either. What it will show you is whether you are drawn to these topics. It helps with finding your True Will. That is its function.
If, however, you already know your True Will, then you should stay away and "Do what thou wilt—then do nothing else." (https://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib2)

Last post by Seisatsu - May 07, 2021, 11:36:42 AMOperation: Screaming Ratchet starts tomorrow! Get hype for some urban shamanism! You may find it useful to visit the About and 9 Tenets pages on Randonautica's website, to familiarize yourself with their magical paradigm. See https://www.randonautica.com/ The operation officially lasts from May 8th to June 8th, but some people have started early, and you are strongly encouraged to continue for as long as you wish. In addition, Yavhe Alexander and I intend to plan something to kick off on August 8th (8/8, Hexorius is 888), so stay tuned for more info later this year! HAIL HEXORIUS -[X]-
