хуета

А мне по душе следующие цитаты Кроули:

Mind is a disease of semen.
All that a man is or may be is hidden therein.
Bodily functions are parts of the machine; silent,
unless in dis-ease.
But mind, never at ease, creaketh "I".
This I persisteth not, posteth not through genera-
tions, changeth momently, finally is dead.
Therefore is man only himself when lost to himself
in The Charioting.

***

O thou that settest out upon The Path, false is the
Phantom that thou seekest. When thou hast it
thou shalt know all bitterness, thy teeth fixed in
the Sodom-Apple.
Thus hast thou been lured along That Path, whose
terror else had driven thee far away.
O thou that stridest upon the middle of The Path, no
phantoms mock thee. For the stride's sake thou
stridest.
Thus art thou lured along That Path, whose fascina-
tion else had driven thee far away.
O thou that drawest toward the End of The Path,
effort is no more. Faster and faster dos thou fall;
thy weariness is changed into Ineffable Rest.
For there is not Thou upon That Path: thou hast
become The Way.

***
Death implies change and individuality if thou be
THAT which hath no person, which is beyond the
changing, even beyond changelessness, what hast
thou to do with death?
The bird of individuality is ecstasy; so also is its
death.
In love the individuality is slain; who loves not love?
Love death therefore, and long eagerly for it.
Die Daily.

***

It is not necessary to understand; it is enough to
adore.
The god may be of clay: adore him; he becomes
GOD.
We ignore what created us; we adore what we create.
Let us create nothing but GOD!
That which causes us to create is our true father and
mother; we create in our own image, which is theirs.
Let us create therefore without fear; for we can
create nothing that is not GOD.

"Explain this happening!"
"It must have a `natural' cause." \
"It must have a `supernatural' cause." / Let
these two asses be set to grind corn.
May, might, must, should, probably, may be, we
may safely assume, ought, it is hardly question-
able, almost certainly-poor hacks! let them be
turned out to grass!
Proof is only possible in mathematics, and mathe-
matics is only a matter of arbitrary conventions.
And yet doubt is a good servant but a bad master; a
perfect mistress, but a nagging wife.
"White is white" is the lash of the overseer: "white
is black" is the watchword of the slave. The Master
takes no heed.
The Chinese cannot help thinking that the octave has
5 notes.
The more necessary anything appears to my mind,
the more certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
I slept with Faith, and found a corpse in my arms on
awaking; I drank and danced all night with Doubt,
and found her a virgin in the morning.

Some men look into their minds into their memories,
and find naught but pain and shame.
These then proclaim "The Good Law" unto mankind.
These preach renunciation, "virtue", cowardice in
every form.
These whine eternally.
Smug, toothless, hairless Coote, debauch-emascu-
lated Buddha, come ye to me? I have a trick to
make you silent, O ye foamers-at-the mouth!
Nature is wasteful; but how well She can afford it!
Nature is false; but I'm a bit of a liar myself.
Nature is useless; but then how beautiful she is!
Nature is cruel; but I too am a Sadist.
The game goes on; it y have been too rough for
Buddha, but it's (if anything) too dull for me.
Viens, beau negre! Donne-moi tes levres encore!

I am not an Anarchist in your sense of the word:
your brain is too dense for any known explosive
to affect it.
I am not an Anarchist in your sense of the word:
fancy a Policeman let loose on Society!
While there exists the burgess, the hunting man, or
any man with ideals less than Shelley's and self-
discipline less than Loyola's-in short, any man
who falls far short of MYSELF-I am against
Anarchy, and for Feudalism.
Every "emancipator" has enslaved the free.

И ещё что-то наверняка. По форме мысли он конечно бывает невыносимо сложен и запутан, так как приходится продираться через слои отсылок, символик, эзотерического арго, но как только въезжаешь - становится ясно, что человек был крайней умён и мудр; по-крайней мере схожая рефлексия бывает у меня, но таким клёвым способом выражать её в языке я конечно не могу... но цитатки коллекционирую и стараюсь запоминать!

I distrust any thoughts uttered by any man whose
health is not robust.
All other thoughts are surely symptoms of disease.
Yet these are often beautiful, and may be true within
the circle of the conditions of the speaker.
Any yet again! Do we not find that the most robust
of men express no thoughts at all? They eat, drink,
sleep, and copulate in silence.
What better proof of the fact that all thought is
dis-ease?
We are Strassburg geese; the tastiness of our talk
comes from the disorder of our bodies.
We like it; this only proves that our tastes also are
depraved and debauched by our disease.

Вот ещё - замечательное. Действительно, весь этот словесный пиздёж походить на невротические приступы. Всякие спортсмены, здоровые и "простые" люди действительно не нуждаются во всей этой эквилибристике, возможно потому что все необходимые метафизические и интеллектуальные, и даже эстетические осознания происходят соматически, в теле, и это их благо и проклятие пиздунов.

Мне тут интересными кажутся аналогии с идеями Берроуза. То есть Кроули как идеологический предшественник Берроуза.

То есть вот тут-вот идея тип Language as a Virus после Language as a Desease вполне читается.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ага, думаю Берроуз так или иначе сталкивался с телемитами

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Да, Берроуз Дружил с Кеннетом Энгером, и точно знал о Телеме в свой лондонский период, когда ушел от саентологов.
