This

is enough to win the crown in best lyrics mankind ever created. Easy.

Want to discuss that?

Surprisingly Paul Anka. Which shows it doesn't take a good musician to write a phantastic song, just to play them.

"It's just this seems to be a cycle.. Bi or tri or poly poled cycle."

Sounds like a circle jerk to me...

Why is god a jerk? He belted momma and told all us children it was an equate-her.

Goddess said don't worry babies I'm liquidate his assets.



Edit to add: Oh I dunno these lyrics are pretty um(mantra so is Ah) interesting.

I honestly don't know. A daughter without father. A child who raised her mother. A homeless princess in a rented box. Who am I?

a reply to: Reverbs

I've never been into NSA myself.

Some FWB agreements but exclusivity was always the agreed upon rule. Licking other little swimmers out of the pool is not something I fancy.

a reply to: Peeple

You entirely misread my preference

Lenin's work is concise and to the point, the result of careful study and a decisively applied intellect, resulting in a decisive and irreversible blow.

Levi on the other hand is very much a product of both his time and his conditioning. The Doctrine is reasonably sound but the ritual side of things is a jumbled hotch-potch of confusion that reflects his own ability to traverse the pitfalls that applying the Doctrine would have prevented. In short he had no comprehension of the rituals because he had not applied himself to the system. You seem to suffer similar illusions which would explain why you find magic "inefficient".

Roman Catholicism, and Western Christianity generally as derived, is essentially a system of anti-magic and hence why it's "esoterism" is so obviously distorted, because it is in fact designed to obfuscate. All very well if you hold the key, but nothing but a wicked mess if that is lost amidst the purges. The Tarot is a divination tool and may be highly effective as part of a system of magic but in isolation it is just working with probable outcomes, and an entertaining diversion.

The primary difficulty with the Catholic esoterism, of which Levi provides good example, is how it locks the initiate into their sexuality. That's most certainly a pit, repressed or expressed, and it's power completely self-defeating, effective for profit and entertainment but that's just biology, no sophistication involved there, and the outcomes are usually, naturally enough, masturbatory and largely ineffective.

Kind of a follow up on our math magic.

For some reason I find 3 spooky. 10:3=3,33333333? Why? 1/3 I get that, that's were stuff still makes sense.

Shouldn't 3×3×3=9 and then we have 3×0,3333=0,999999999999 => 9,99999999999! Where did the 0,000000000000....1 go?

a reply to: Anaana

Oh please don't take anything I say as judging this or that school, system, or religion. Especially if I don't ever practiced, like you pointed out.
I keep repeating: I'm 100% dilettante with dangerous half knowledge.

Just saying if it were efficient, wouldn't the world be a far better place?
"Control your emotions, send out love energies and you'll have an endless streak of good luck!"
And similiar silliness, down to stuff nobody really wants and lessons in self-psychoanalysis.
No. Don't need to try to know it's not efficient.

Roman catholicism comes mostly from suppressing all pagan predecessing gods, practices, rituals... magic? You mean the shamanic "household spirits"?
I am no full catholic, but kind of still am and I can tell you I have no doubt they exist and magic works, just that I build my magic and worldview and intention on constructive optimistic humanistic inclusion.

a reply to: Peeple

No, Roman Catholicism replaced systems of "seeing" with the promise that they had it sussed and that their system was better. It wasn't. When this was consistently demonstrated not to be the case, outside of limited spheres of temporal power, the only alternative they had was to use those temporal powers to remove the competition. In order to do so they had to deploy a system of anti-magic, the Canon episcopi, the consequences are what you describe and a wicked mess.

a reply to: Anaana

See I can't say I disagree. Just worded it different in a different context?

And would add roman catholicism also integrated a lot of the old local saints. Roman empire style.
Old habits, in Spain with the crazy processions.

What's that if not ritualistic magic in Roman catholic regions?



Just made another of my series "beautiful pictures ruined with one sentence"
