Now all is different

Now all is different
I once led a life that I truly did not live. I perceived only its sensory manifestations. By deceiving myself into believing that I lived, I did in fact die. My death in spite of my apparent existence began with the dying of thought into reflectivity and into abstractness. This give me the image of life, but not life itself.
Now all is different. My mind is all, now I am all. There is no process of thinking without me because thinking is me. My thinking is not mere activity but activity which is self-sufficient, and is me as a person. I realise myself as an object of knowledge.
When I envisage myself as the subject, then myself as the object is also conceived. Each is real since my thinking is real, but nothing is real outside my thinking, there is no being outside my thinking, only the abstract realm of darkness from which the children of Satan haunt the lives of the damned, i.e. those who have an image of life, but not life itself.

On evil and its eradication

The Great Red Dragon, William Blake's depiction of purest evil
On evil and its eradication
The living thinking of my mind rises like a dawning sun rises. Such thinking has all the wisdom and love that flows as the light of the Logos into the cosmos. No hatred, or pain, or fear can exist before it. Its presence does not imply a struggle. It is everything.
The living movement of my thinking has no limit of space and time or external boundaries. In conceiving the universal I conceive myself as reality itself. Nothing in the living movement of my thinking is expelled to fall outside, inert and brute.
Outside there remains only the darkness inhabited by the children of Satan, the world of the material and graspable, where the innocents of Beulah are held in thrall. Only the dawn of the vivifying sun will cleanse the shadows of this evil.
What else is this evil but the contrary to the gain that I seek for myself? My mind's not-being is the darkness that must be extinguished by the rising sun. As I am thinking I am doing, bringing to life that which is not yet being, that which is before the perpetual Beginning. It is in that which is not yet being, the realm of Ananke into which angels have fallen, that my mind seeks fulfilment. The need to violate Ananke is the driving force of my being. Before the Beginning there is non-being, after the Beginning there is everything. This is the Creation; and it is always, for ever and ever.
My mind always confronts itself as its own negation. There is no respite from Ananke, who spurs me on from task to task, the providential pain goading me on to penetrate her non-being as the condition of my being. I am always the error (non-being) opposed to the true (the Beginning) which is the Creation.
Evil is at the heart of my reality because the Creation must always move beyond non-being. Evil is not a fixed reality opposed to a static mind. Evil is always there, but metamorphosing, driving me forward to be. Evil is the non-being that I must and will determine to be.
The ultimate purpose of my thinking’s transcendence is to transform evil into good, to dissolve the darkness of Ananke’s realm and let the light of the Logos shine through, incarnated as the power of Love.
Deceived by the children of Satan, I once conceived the world as other than myself who conceived it. I observed the world and its moral necessities as though it did not concern me. I proclaimed the unhuman mantra - 'freedom is the recognition of necessity’, where that necessity stood apart from me as a self-sustaining idol.
But that was before the Beginning, and now I survey the world as my own reality, there being no other. Unlike before, I cannot suppose the world outside the necessity of my own cosmic conception as though moral law did not concern me. The transcendent rationality of my own cosmic conception is my own law, my duty. This duty is the unity of the law of my own doing, which is the law of the universe. In other words, what I do is law and moral. This contrasts with my former immorality, with eyes only for my own interest, which separated me from the world, from its law and my law.
The formation of my moral consciousness as the realising of reality as self-conceived has deepened the spiritual meaning of my life. Spiritual fulfilment will come with the dawn of the vivifying sun, and the final eradication of Satan and his children from the darkest recesses of my psyche.

Religionists, artists and scientists - collaborationists all

Complicit in idol worship
Religionists, artists and scientists - collaborationists all
History is only concrete in the eternal act of my living thinking. That which falls outside is one with the idolatrous mysticism promulgated by the Children of Satan, and their collaborators, the religionists, artists and scientists who are complicit in their evil. The collaborators serve the Children of Satan by objectivising God, and distancing the Originatory Principle, Love, from man.
The artist only expresses his own world in his art. When he returns from art to life, he feel as though he returns to a reality different from that of his own fantasies. His art is a subjective free creation detached from the real, a creation in which the subject himself is realised and enchained. He posits himself in his immediate abstract subjectivity; and an abstraction is nothing.
Religion is the antithesis of art. Art is the exaltation of the subject released from the chains of the 'real'. Religion is the exaltation of the object, released from the chains of the mind. Whereas art is abstract subjectivism, religion is abstract objectivism. The object of worship is in abstract opposition to knowing. By that opposition knowing is excluded from reality, and the object of worship is therefore unknowable, only affirmable mystically as the dependence of the subject upon the object. In presupposing its object, religion is always idolatrous.
Science is a religion, which by presupposing its object is inherently idolatrous. Science arises from the presupposition that the object exists before it is thought, and independently altogether of being known.

History belongs to the living movement of my thinking mind
Thursday, 7 March 2024 at 17:00
It all comes together in my head
History belongs to the living movement of my thinking mind
I do accept that there is a past, but I do not accept the stages of that past as a succession of points on a timeline that stands apart from me. No object from the past present or future, has a magical self-existence that allows it to live outside the process that is my thinking. I do notbring a stage of history to life, only to drop it and then hop from this to the next stage, since a stage from which I detach myself is no longer an act of my mind, it falls outside my mind as a kind of Lucifer,a fallen angel.
Nothing abstracted from the living movement of my thinking has value to me, and this includes the facts of history, which cannot be grasped in any thought frozen in isolation. Just like the multiplicity of all other things, history belongs to the living movement of my thinking mind, the centre from which all time radiates, whether it be past or future.

My loves, affections and passions live
Wednesday, 6 March 2024 at 21:04
My loves, affections and passions live
The part of the loved ones which I lost is a reality which never lived, it was an abstract reality. Reality is not the simple abstraction which seems to have a magically self-projected and self-sustaining life of its own, apart from my thinking.
Abstract reality simply does not exist, having no mortality or immortality. The concrete reality which does exist lives in my mind. My all-embracing mind gives life to everything. The living multiplicity of everything is my living thinking.
My all-embracing mind, also brings destruction to everything.The life of a loved one in my thinking mind is also her death, otherwise I would be abandoning her to a fallen life petrified. My loves, affections and passions live, their immortality being their eternal mortality.
All things, be they lovers, nature, the past, indeed all history, if taken up outside the process from which they have sprung, becoming sensations, images, and thoughts, are the fallen non-truth that sickens the world.
The unity of all things in my mind may be confronted by what has gone before, by the past, by history;but this would be to face a satanic haunting rather than a thing of concrete value.

This is me
Tuesday, 5 March 2024 at 21:05
This is me
Alone my mind, and all that is, is real. I am inconceivable as something before or apart from my own consciousness. I am both subject and object. This is me. I am my spiritual reality. I am the identity of myself with myself. I am both self and other, and find myself in my other. Without my other I would not even be myself, because I only am in so far as my other is. Nor would my other be would myself not be other, because my other is only conceivable as identical with me as the subject. In being reality, that which I am confronts me as my being.

Life, the multiplicity of all things, is my mind's reality
Monday, 4 March 2024 at 20:29
Life, the multiplicity of all things, is my mind's reality
Immortality belongs to my mind, which is not in nature. I was imprisoned within a material ‘reality’ and the definite limits of birth and death. My selfhood was on course to remain trapped within these on the sure and certain path to annihilation.
Then I discovered that my selfhood, within which I appeared to haunt a ready-made world with other similarly imprisoned individuals, is rooted in my higher self, in which alone I am real. My concrete higher self contains my lower self and other abstractions, people and things. I cannot say that my higher self is before the birth and after the death of my lower, because to apply ‘before’ and ‘after’ would cause it to fall from the one to the many, and by destroying it as the one I should also be destroying the many, all people, all things, everything. In making time to be, my higher selfhood is rather outside every ‘before and after’ and contains them.
I do not transcend time, such that my selfhood stands outside time as one reality is juxtaposed to another. Time is, rather, held within me. What is limited by time from the standpoint of the many is infinite from my point of view. Life, the multiplicity of all things is my mind's reality, which is my experience of consciousness. My higher self is not in nature, but rather keeps its own infinity without which nature, in all its multiplicity, would be dissolved into the bleak indefiniteness of Ananke’s dark realm of one nothing.
