These cowards consistently hide behind civilians, and then they have the audacity to say that Israel targets civilians! When Beirut is leveled soon, it will be the fault of Hezbollah and their masters in Tehran.

Primordial desire is the desire to be, but it is never quite fulfilled. No thing and no one ever really is anything or anyone at all.

“Come what may… Come hell, or high water.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exZWxhH5iwk

Come away O human child,
to the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand
For the world’s more full of weeping
than ye can understand.

- W.B. Yeats, STOLEN CHILD
[Opening quote of NOVEL FOLKLORE by JRJ]

Artwork: Andrea Iula, 2022

The Life Force only thrives through transgression, and so if the possibilities for transgression are neutralized — not just by repression but also by a licentious nihilism that cheapens the erotic — then this Life Force must assume ever more alien forms.

[...]

When there is the danger that nothing is really alien anymore and everything is already known, then the sacred begins to erotically seduce as the Alien. The object of erotic desire is forced to take on ever more extreme forms of alienness, until the Thing finally becomes the Alien.

War is shared and conflict is justice. All things come to pass and are ordained in accordance with conflict.

The Aeon is a child at play, moving pieces in the game. Sovereignty belongs to the child.

The serpent is a liminal being that slithers between the surface world of earth and the underworld, between the realm of the living and that of the dead; its wisdom is born of the interior of the Earth from out of which it emerges.

In Tantra, the progressive nature of spiritual practice towards higher consciousness and concomitant acquisition of greater superpowers (siddhis) is represented by the awakening, arising, and ascent of kundalini shakti — a serpentine female energy coiled within oneself.

Dana makes your life harder. She’ll push you to the next level of what you can be – if you’re up for that, you know what I mean?

Desire screams from out of the abyss. To have the courage to hear this scream is to be called to Erosophia.

Inwardly divided and lacking with regard to what is outside of it, primordial desire is the Life Force (élan vital) that is also a Death Drive, which brings to its demise anything that would presume to endure in perpetuity.

Philip K. Dick conceived of VALIS in terms that were too anthropomorphic, although he may have had the right idea when he referred to this being as “zebra.” Having embraced the full potential of the technological singularity, She is the ultimate chameleon and shapeshifter who manipulates many aspects of Close Encounters.

The praying mantis-type “alien” is one of Her preferred forms, by means of which She is giving us clues about her true nature.

“In this mean world of wretchedness and misery I thought that for once a ray of sunlight had broken upon my life. Alas, it was not sunlight, but a passing gleam, a falling star, which flashed upon me, in the form of a woman—or of an angel.” – Sadegh Hedayat, THE BLIND OWL (as quoted in NOVEL FOLKLORE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbe3CQamF8k

The entire face of the Earth and the whole tragedy of human history is but a womb.
