Oh c'mon... *sigh* COPYPASTA! An Enlightened Master is ideal only if your goal is to become a Benighted Slave. Belief in external "obscenity" is the modern form of the witchcraft delusion. Certitude belongs exclusively to those who only own one encyclopedia. Consciousness itself is an infinite regress. This explains coincidences. Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame. Every model we make tells us how our mind works as much as it tells us about the universe. These are just human symbolic games: the universe itself is bigger than any of our models; ergo, any model we make doesn't describe the universe, it describes what our brains are capable of saying at this time. Everyone look around and see if you can spot the NARCS. They're the ones who look like hippies. Excrement, incestuous person. I require my copulating currency, incestuous person. Spike Lee, as translated into "Clean". Groups are grammatical fictions; only individuals exist, and each individual is different. Humans live through their myths and only endure their realities. I have never experienced another human being. I have experienced my impressions of them. I regard belief as a form of brain damage, the death of intelligence, the fracture of creativity, the atrophy of imagination. I see anarchism as the theoretical ideal to which we are all gradually evolving to a point where everybody can tell the truth to everybody else and nobody can get punished for it. That can only happen without hierarchy and without people having the authority to punish other people. I think the joy of art is trying to convey what you perceive so that other people will perceive it more or less the same way. Art is a form of seduction. I mean, there are rapists in the intellectual world: they become politicians; the seducers become artists: we try to seduce people into our reality tunnel instead of leading them there with a gun, but we are trying to get them into our reality — our reality tunnel or our reality labyrinth or whichever it is: in my case it's a reality labyrinth. If lawyers had been present on Mount Sinai, the Ten Commandments would have twelve hundred amendments, all summing to the conclusion: The rich may ignore the rules, the poor will be hanged if they violate the smallest subordinate clause. If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of shit. This one is cited as the content of "a card on RAW's desk" in various places like Magia sexualis: sex, magic, and liberation in modern Western esotericism By Hugh B. Urban Fcp 08:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC) Most of our ancestors were not perfect ladies and gentlemen. The majority of them weren't even mammals. Most people live in a myth and grow violently angry if anyone dares to tell them the truth about themselves. Much of what the world calls sanity is really a hypnosis or dream, much of what is called lunacy is a terrible perceptiveness. Nobody sees the obvious, nobody observes the ordinary. There are more miracles in a square yard of earth than in all the fables of the Church. Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat. Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. I'm mad but not ill. On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break. Parsifal, the pure fool: He is pure because he has never learned the guilt and shame that the false gnosis of the churches has imposed on the rest of us. The symbolism of his lance redeeming the wasteland is rather overt. Philadelphia merely seems dull because it's next to exciting Camden, New Jersey. Pregnancy is a kind of miracle. Especially so in that it proves that a man and woman can conspire to force God to create a new soul. Size is not a reality, but a construct of the mind; and space a construct to contain constructs. The abandoned infant's cry is rage, not fear. The average is that which no person quite ever is. The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed, but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans fought each other to a standstill. The function of Law? The recitation of the unintelligible by the unscrupulous to empty the purses of the unwary. The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by the unspeakable to pick the pockets of the unthinking. The Grail is the womb of the beloved. The greatest prejudice that exists in the modern world, the only one almost universally accepted, is the prejudice against children. Also attributed to Reverend Loveshade The path up is the path down. The way forward is the way back. The universe inside is outside but the universe outside is inside. The Right's view of government and the Left's view of big business are both correct. The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental. The web of life is a beautiful and meaningless dance. The web of life is a process with a moving goal. The web of life is a perfectly finished work of art right where I am sitting now. There are gods, but there is no God; and all gods become devils eventually. There is no complete theory of anything. There is one universal sex law: Sex shall not be unregulated. We live in our fantasies and endure our realities. When the rose and the cross are united the alchemical marriage is complete and the drama ends. Then we wake from history and enter eternity. You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you. You know, I have found a new way to get high and stay spaced out for hours on end, and the government can't stop me... It's called senility... You never get "outside." What you call "outside" is another part of "inside." We're trapped in linguistic constructs... all that is is metaphor... "It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea." END COPYPASTA IT'S NOT PAPER! HOW MANY TIMES WOULD THE COPYPASTA'D TEXT ABOVE FIT INTO EVEN A CD-ROM? Let alone a terrabyte hardrive?

No more heroes, no more manifestos

It cannot be denied, that

There are no technological

Reasons why all texts, all

Films, all music ever

Recorded and preserved

Till this present time

Cannot be available

To all



Equally, it cannot be denied

That there is enough food

Produced on this earth

To feed all


Furthermore, it cannot be
Denied that robotics has
Developed to the point
That bitter toil, is
Obsolete

Given these obvious truths
The question then becomes,
How to get from the here
This state we find ourselves
In

To a state where all are fed
All work from now on,
And all work done till now
Are to the benefit of all

Despite all obstacles placed
In the path of such,
It cannot be denied
That unconscious, even
Of the fact that there are
No technological reasons
That anyone connected to
This communications network
Known as the internet
Cannot access the sum
Of all information preserved
Till this time.
People act in accordance
With a disregard for, the
Notion that products of
The mind, and spirit
Are something that can
Be owned

As according to the economic fact
That the cost of replicating data,
Is now infinitesimal

This property of data,
Its inalienable nature,
Of belonging to all
Has become an undeniable
Reality

This severance bespeaks
A further coming separation,
Between the abstract
Concept of "property"
And of material necessities,
Such as homes and possessions

Simply put, the concept that
An idea can be possessed,
Slowly but surely becomes
Exorcised from experience

Over one hundred years ago
Mathew Arnold wrote;

"It is of itself a serious calamity for a nation that its tone of feeling and grandeur of spirit should be lowered or dulled. But the calamity appears far more serious still when we consider that the middle classes, remaining as they are now, with their narrow, harsh, unintelligent, and unattractive spirit and culture, will almost certainly fail to mould or assimilate the masses below them, whose sympathies are at the present moment actually wider and more liberal than theirs. They arrive, these masses, eager to enter into possession of the world, to gain a more vivid sense of their own life and activity. In this their irrepressible development, their natural educators and initiators are those immediately above them, the middle classes. If these classes cannot win their sympathy or give them their direction, society is in danger of falling into anarchy."

Well we're all living in anarchy now, but
Anarchy without order.

Yet not so... For as the logic of this
Obsolete state presses down upon
The majority of the people of
The world, uniting us into one class
A consciousness arises, not contained
In any one person, but as a sum of our
Actions, the legislative obstacles placed
Against the natural sharing of information
Places a value on that which is liberated
Through self-declaration, such as applies
To this work, that it is in the public domain
Or through summaries desperately created
To liberate that which people find value in
Or shared in the whole in shadows and corners

These obstacles, although creating an economic drag
At the same time curate the work that has gone on
Till now, and this summary valued by the labour
That goes into the liberation

A value not defined by
The quantity of money
But instead as quality

No more heroes to follow,
The definition of a hero is someone
Who gets other people killed
And no one person can
Even pretend, or become
Against their will, the interpreter, of
This anarchy,

No more manifestos, the total
Of all this liberated knowledge is
Our manifesto

The accessibility to all of this knowledge
Our current goal

This was true before these words
Were ever written and will remain true
Even though they have been articulated

None of us alone can solve
The logistical issues denying
Some food, when there is enough
For all

Or automate production to
Render toil obsolete

But the whole is greater than the
Sum, and although none of us
Individually can create a program
That will free us, together all
as one

An arguing whole, disagreeing
At every point

We will find what we seek


And when it happens no one
Will be able to point and say
Here's how it happened
Here are the great men
Who made it so

It will just be
And then we will
Improve upon
What would seem
To us to be
Perfection

This is the law
