THE UNIVERSE WANTS TO PLAY. Those who refuse out
of dry spiritual greed & choose pure contemplation forfeit their humanity--those
who refuse out of dull anguish, those who hesitate, lose their chance at
divinity--those who mold themselves blind masks of Ideas & thrash around
seeking some proof of their own solidity end by seeing out of dead men's
eyes.
Sorcery: the systematic
cultivation of enhanced consciousness or non- ordinary awareness &
its deployment in the world of deeds & objects to bring about desired
results...Where our knowledge of beauty harmonizes with the ludus naturae,
sorcery begins...Sorcery works at creating around itself a psychic/physical
space or openings into a space of untrammeled expression -- the metamorphosis
of quotidian place into angelic sphere. This involves the manipulation
of symbols (which are also things) & of people (who are also symbolic)
-- the archetypes
supply a vocabulary for this process
& therefore are treated as if they were both real and unreal, like
words.
Imaginal
Yoga.
The sorcerer is a Simple
Realist: the world is real--
but then so must consciousness be real since its effects are so tangible.
The dullard finds even wine tasteless but the sorcerer can be intoxicated
by the mere sight of water.
Quality of perception
defines the world of intoxication -- but to sustain it & expand it
to include others demands activity of another kind -- sorcery.
Sorcery breaks no law of nature
because there is no Natural Law, only the spontaneity of natura naturans, the tao
.
Sorcery violates laws which seek to chain this flow
-- priests, kings, hierophants, mystics, scientists & shopkeepers all brand
the sorcerer enemy for threatening the power of their charade, the tensile strength
of their illusory web.
A poem can act as a spell
& vice versa--but sorcery refuses to be a metaphor for mere literature--it
insists that symbols must cause events as well as private epiphanies. It
is not a critique but a re-making. It rejects all eschatology & metaphysics
of removal, all bleary nostalgia & strident futurismo, in favor of
a paroxysm or seizure of presence.
The tactics of ontological anarchism are rooted in this
secret Art--the goals of ontological anarchism appear in its flowering. Chaos
hexes
its enemies & rewards its devotees...this strange yellowing pamphlet, pseudonymous
& dust-stained, reveals all...send away for one split second of eternity.
