As an example, consider the concept of Sin itself. In an…

Belief is a dangerous thing, given the tendency of the human mind to justify itself even in the heights of folly. Belief closes the mind, blinds the eyes and dulls the senses. Belief is an opiate that makes an unbearable life feel like a dream. Belief is…

It has not escaped the attention of this generation that in many ways the current decade is a cyclic recurrence of the 1960s. Consider the ever-growing anarchic–collective subculture both on- and off- line reacting to the mass-market mainstreaming of the…

Most people walk through the world, living their lives from birth to death without ever questioning the ticking clock, the rising and setting of the sun, the pulse of the atom. Time, both friend and enemy, seems by all accounts and measures the truest of…

When going after the Neurofilter circuit (or Third Eye, if you prefer), the oldest methodology is still the best—deprive the groping, simpering, whining survival circuits of the left hemisphere and their precious Ego of the distractions of the physical…

All knowledge in and of the universe can be mapped onto a tree-like graph; starting with fundamental theories of particle physics emanating from the Void through the Big Bang as roots of a tree emerging from the soil into a trunk, leading up from string…

The Dweller, also known as the Guardian, on the Threshold, is an entity which every practitioner of the occult must eventually face, as it stands between the seeker and their initiation, between the analog Self and the ‘true will’; many things have been…

Read "On Cosmic Consciousness" now on my blog, The Depths of ABSU:

The question of Cosmic Consciousness is an old one, and is in fact an initiated secret of many mystical orders, including Rosicrucianism; but as a religious doctrine, the idea goes back even further in time.  I address it again now, since one of my…

Read "Astral Projection, Possession, and Body Theft" now on the Phoeron's blog, The Depths of ABSU:
