Wisdom/philosophy quotes

"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.” ― Hermann Hesse, Demian. Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

"The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong." ―carl Jung

"we are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our body, which is doomed to decay…, from the external world which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless force of destruction, and finally from our relations with other men… This last source is perhaps more painful to use than any other. (p77)” ― Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.” ― Albert Camus

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

“Despite men's suffering, despite the blood and wrath, despite the dead who can never be replaced, the unjust wounds, and the wild bullets, we must utter, not words of regret, but words of hope, of the dreadful hope of men isolated with their fate.” ― Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion and Death: Essays

“It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.” ― Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot

“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.” ― Socrates, Essential Thinkers - Socrates

“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure….you are above everything distressing.” ― Spinoza

“The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without: to follow one's own path, not that of the crowd.” ― Nicholas Tharcher, Rebels & Devils; A Tribute to Christopher S. Hyatt

“Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbors that all his pictures are crooked.” ― Fulton J. Sheen, Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary

“One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else.” ― K.L. Toth

“All is mystery; but he is a slave who will not struggle to penetrate the dark veil.” ― Benjamin Disraeli

“Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.” ― Erma Bombeck

“What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.” ― Epictetus

This is the most profound of all the Secrets of the Illuminati and I have often been warned that Terrible Consequences will ensue if I reveal it prematurely, but—what the hell, these are parlous times, friend, and this primitive planet needs all the Light that can be unleashed on its dark, superstitious mind. Let me repeat, since I am sure you didn't get it the first time:

Do it every day!

Have you ever wondered why Einstein became such a great physicist? It was because he loved the equations and concepts of mathematical physics so much that he "worked" on them—or played and tinkered with them—every day. That's why Otto von Klemper became such a great conductor: he loved Beethoven and Mozart and that crowd so much that he practised his music every day. It's why Babe Ruth became such a great ball-player: he loved the game so deeply that he was playing or rehearsing every day.

This rule also explains, incidentally, how people destroy themselves.

Do you want to become a suicide (it's the fashionable thing in some circles, after all)? Practise being depressed, worried and resentful every day, and don't let anybody distract you with Energized Meditation or any other mind-change system. Do you want to land in jail on an assault and battery charge? Practise getting damned bloody angry every day. If you want to become paranoid, look carefully every day for evidence of treachery and duplicity around you. If your ambition is to die young, do the depression-worry-resentment system every day but center in especially on visualizing and worrying about every imaginable illness that might possibly inflict itself upon you.

(On the other hand, if you want to live as long as George Burns, "work hard" every day at being as cheerful and optimistic as he is.) Almost anything is possible if you DO IT EVERY DAY.

“Inevitably it follows that anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes an authority or established convention': a rebel. ...And if enough people come to agree with—and follow—the REBEL, we now have a DEVIL. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have ... GREATNESS.” NICHOLAS THARCHER, Rebels & Devils; A Tribute to Christopher S. Hyatt

Listen to Natalie Sist interview Wayne Saalman on Blog Talk Radio, Wednesday 04th October 2023

Wayne Saalman author of The Journey Across Forever: A Magical Provocative Odyssey Across the Ages, Around the World & into the Great Beyond

He was born in Ohio in the USA. He is a novelist, poet, painter, musician and songwriter. His books have been lauded by Dr Christopher S Hyatt, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Michael Hayes, Ken Bruen, Jason Starr and Colonel John B Alexander.

Wayne reveals what the physicist, the mystic and all seekers of truth have in common and explains why climate change, the power of social media, the threat of “apocalyptic” politics and the nefarious appeal of the dark web are a spiritual challenge for each of us. Above all, The Journey Across Forever deeply explores why we must heed the words, here and now, of those who have had a near-death experience if we genuinely believe in the reality of spiritual immortality and wish to make our way to higher dimensions upon our own exit from this planet.

Hailstone

Before I had ever heard of the Temple, just at the beginning of what I consider my Initiatory Work a small rune-pendent came into my possession. I had no real knowledge of Runeology at the time nor was it a topic I was all that interested in but this pendant “call to me” while on a trip with some friends. It was a small earthenware pendant with the word “process” on the back and a Hagalaz Rune on the front. It was the word “process” which caught my attention as it was roughly when The Process Collective really began operating and I was consuming as much information as I could about the concept of “process.” I bought it and kept it on my person for some time, beginning to research a bit more deeply just what this image meant. I learned some of the basics, thought it was a rather neat concept and stopped seriously looking into the Runes. Shortly after having bought that Hagalaz Rune I took actions to cut myself free from the world I had created for myself up to that time. I ended a long-term relationship, began looking more seriously at my desires, and began changing from a rather bright but undisciplined student with no sense of direction towards being an Honors student in Anthropology. At the same time, I began a period of eclectic magical experimentation, drawing inspiration from Thelemic yoga and ritual, the sigil methods of Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth and Chaos Magic. My interest in Chaos Magic was strong enough that I made contact with the group and eventually enrolled in their Novice-Mentor Program. This was a six-month basic training in magic built around Peter J. Carroll’s Liber MMM and consisted of meditative techniques combined with operative magic and basic dreamwork. While I was doing this practice I was devouring at an alarming rate everything written on the topic of Chaos Magic, experimental occultism and all sorts of “High Weirdness.” Hagalaz reappeared as a result. A brief mention of it by Ian Read in an interview published in Rebels and Devils edited by Dr. Christopher S. Hyatt made me realize that despite my general non-interest in Runes and Heathenism, or any religious approach to magic, that there was something in this concept that kept reappearing and which I needed to know more about. This lead me to purchase a copy of Edred’s Futhark and Runelore. I was greatly impressed by both works and decided to find out what I could about Edred, which yielded surprising results.   I learned from Heathens that Edred was a Nazi. Well, that didn’t sound promising but I’d known a lot of people accused of that who weren’t. I learned from Isaac Bonewitts that not only was Edred a Nazi, what’s worse is he was a Setian. Huh, never really gave the Temple of Set a serious look after reading the GIL and getting an “Anton LaVey meets the A.’.A.’.” sense about it. I learned from the Order of the Trapezoid’s Website that he had been Grandmaster of the Order. Oh, now here was something I could sink my teeth into. One of the few things about Anton LaVey’s work that really grabbed me at that time, aside from the cynical humor, was his intimation of a kind of futurist re-interpretation of magical practice, one that sought new and novel manifestations of Undefiled Wisdom. I found his statement of the Law of the Trapezoid as a wonderful restatement of the Tantric idea that the very things that cause ruin in those who are asleep can be both stimulating and transforming to those who approach them with Wakefulness. The majority of the Anton LaVey Show was pretty clearly his own attempt to package his personal understanding but in his Trapezoid inspired speculations I felt there was real if underexplored, bedrock. From the Order of the Trapezoid, I had learned that not only were there people continuing this Work but that they were often individuals with a real stake in the world who had significant educational and experimental contributions to back their Work. The discovery that there was an active Order of the Trapezoid not simply re-enacting what Anton had done but which was looking to pioneer new Work gave me the impetus to look at the Temple of Set in a more serious fashion.

15. What books do you think are valuable for other Luciferians/Satanists to read?

Raising Hell by Robert Masalo. It is an historical account of Satanism and dark magic through the ages. It talks about the origins of the obscene kiss (osculum infame), black mass, the evil eye and the horned fingers (the Metal hand sign). It also delves into grimoire tradition magic and goetia.

Rebels and Devils edited by Christopher S. Hyatt. Philosophies and practices from Luciferians to Chaos Magicians, this book is an excellent anthology for Satanists that follow a chaos magic based philosophy of magic.

The Invention of Satanism by Asbjorn Dyrendal, James R. Lewis, and Jesper Aagaard Petersen. A very well written academic and sociological look at Satanism, particularly the modern movement.

Paths to Satan by Martin McGregor. A short read on the various philosophies and practices of Satanists.

Spiritual Satanist Prayer Book by Venus Satanas. If you are theistic, it is a chapbook with prayers and poems dedicated to the various forms of the Devil, particularly Lilith, Lucifer and Satan. Belial makes a guest appearance as well.

Out of the Shadows by John J. Coughlin. This is a book on dark neopaganism and witchcraft. He goes through ethics, Jungian Archetypes as well as shadow work and a touch on the fundamental aspects of magic.

Dark Archives by Emily Rosenbloom. An excellent book about the history of anthropodermic bibliopegy, or books bound in human skin. It's well written, well researched, and personal anecdotes are wonderful. Just enough humor to go with such a macabre subject. She is a member of the Anthropodermic Book Project, so it is an insiders account of the research.

Nocturnicon by Konstantinos. A simple grimoire for the modern dark arts practitioner. The rituals are simple and to the point. It's the third and final book of the Nocturnal Witchcraft Series, but is perfectly good as a stand alone book.

A few suggestions for psychology and consciousness: The Body Keeps the Score (Besel Van der Kolk), The Mind and the Brain (Jeffery M Schwartz), Buddha's Brain (Rick Hanson).

Lucifer’s Rebellion, or the arrogance of Thelema

I’ve been reading Lucifer’s Rebellion: A Tribute to Christopher S. Hyatt, a 2011 anthology dedicated to the late Dr. Hyatt.  I don’t remember much about Hyatt’s beliefs, honestly, having not read his work since the 1990s, but this collection has some authors I like in it so I thought I’d check it out.

I never realized Thelema was so heartless.

Having read quite a bit of Crowley, I always liked the idea of “every man and woman is a star.”  But the Thelemites in this anthology disturb me.  Everyone is either a Master or a Slave, one says, going on to say that only Masters -- those who know Thelema and are following their true Will -- are worth anything.  Others sound like Ayn Rand devotees, and probably are.  One essay is by a fanatical ammosexual.  Another talks about the “nanny state” and how the UN is evil.

The sheer lack of compassion in the book blows my mind.  Yes, okay, there is nothing wrong with hating the greedy, the corrupt, the hypocritical.  I certainly do.  But there is no consideration of the sick, the poor, the oppressed.  The Thelemites in this anthology have no care for the weaker members of society, seemingly believing that everyone who suffers is doing so because they aren’t following their true Will.

Frankly, it’s disgusting.

To me, enlightenment of any kind should come with an awareness that we are all stars, not just followers of a particular philosophy.  Compassion is so important to my worldview that thinking one is advanced because one has none is anathema.  This book makes my skin crawl.  The writers I enjoy, the writers I picked up this book for, are their usual decent selves, but the rest of the essays are upsetting in their utter disgust for their fellow humans.

I don’t know if it’s just a particular group of Thelemites that think this way, or if it’s common, or if there’s something really awful Crowley wrote that I’m unfamiliar with.  (I mean, he wasn’t a good person, but I can’t recall him being this horrible.  But then I haven’t read any of his philosophy in twenty years.)  I hope it’s not everyone, because I dated a Thelemite for a while and I’d hate to think she had this kind of filth under the surface.

I’ll stop ranting now.  I just had to express how awful this book made me feel.
