Comment on Ninety Percent Bullshit by Heimlich A. Loki

Heimlich A. Loki — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:57:47 +0000

I’ve been dressing up in silly costumes for over 15 years.

I have six different magickal names, one for each occult scene that I move in.

I talk like I am the master of the universe, even though I’m obviously the most insecure person you’ve ever met.

I tell everyone what a wonderful martial artist/mountain climber/pro wrestler/poet/shaman/mystic/etc I am…without the slightest evidence for any of my claims.

I try to stop other people in my various occult scenes from doing anything cool (or even anything at all), just in case they should outshine me.

I blame everyone else’s problems on their personalities, but my flaws are justified responses to evil “magickal attacks.”

Yes. You guessed it.

I am the 90%.

Comment on Music and Magic by Loclynn

Techno-shamanism is making use of rave culture for this same purpose. I have been using music in my own work for well over 10 years now. I have had some imaginings/visions of Dancers telling the story of the gods through syncopated rhythmic poetry. In the vision/fantasy One elder steps to the front and gives a verse, the others repeat it in a metered chant then another elder steps up and he/she calls back to the first verse with a response, and again all the others repeat it in a metered chant..

In the back ground the music pulls the listeners into the story so that the listeners are called to the same chant in a mesmerizing group trance.

Comment on Even if Climate Change Weren’t Real…We Should Still Support Renewable Energy by Loclynn

I would also say that burning up all of our oil is future foolish as well. As we invent new tech and move out into space, w may find we need petroleum based products. It is just plain foolish to burn a none renewable resource.

Dasein in many aspects is the individuation of the historicity of being. By this it is meant that Zeitgeist is something that shapes our individual thoughts and actions and how we relate to one another and to the world. The spatio-temporal hyperrealisation which is the hallmark of technologically driven “postmodernity” now makes it very challenging for individuals and for Völker to come to grips with the meaning of existence. And yet Dasein, as being-in-the-world, is always about being environed, whether it be forces of nature or ecclesiastical domination in olden times, or technology and resource depletion nowadays. Dasein has to choose its own path as to what to do with the given of the environing of its being. And yet, given that Dasein in its primordial projection can never be restricted by the modern metaphysics of subjectivism, its being is attuned to the destining of being as the call to what is beyond and exceeds itself: the supramundane reality of divine and spiritual beings. Projection in this primordial attunement requires the special discipline of something like alchemy, in my opinion.

Many thanks, sir! I think for me one of the questions I am grappling with is how to go beyond the simplistic divide between the Romantic and Enlightenment traditions (which in this essay go under the pseudonyms of Participation Mystique and Nihilism). I am no longer satisfied with the notion that these are mutually exclusive across time, space, culture, or even individual experience.

I am beginning to think that the imbalances of modernity need to be seen not as a simplistic loss of the Romantic impulse, but rather as a disruption of the dynamic equilibrium between Romance and Enlightenment. I imagine this to be something that unfolds in every psyche and not just a matter of historical or cultural generalisation.

Many ideas are brilliantly put together and I enjoyed reading this essay very much. It certainly gives me much food for thought. Danke schön, Herr Loki!
