RAMPAGE OF ELEPHANTS
Rampage of Elephants Memes & Mind The best kind of learning l earning is the one you get from direct experience and direct apprehension, instead of reading a book based on secondary [or tertiary or whatever] source interpolations or the crap on the internet. I feel sorry for f or anyone who thinks they are smart because they have read books or the internet, because nothing they know and have in their heads actually comes from a primary or direct source. Perception is “reality” and our Beliefs molds and influences our perception or view. In this sense, what thoughts and beliefs we house in our heads becomes the building block of our subjective apprehension apprehension of reality. realit y. So, in this way, those people who accumulate knowledge from books and the internet acquire memes from other random people, and these memes of other people end up fabricating these people’s weltanschauung and subjective reality. It can be said that such people live in a world of other people’s m aking. By “subjective reality” I mean it in a Buddhist way, and not in an Occidental psychological psychological or philosophical way. Reality in Buddhism doesn’t exist as a single “thing,” as in it exists in two states that can never come together. The first state of reality is t he field of coherent information, which may be considered “The Objective Universe.” This can be likened to the field of coherent information on a computer hard drive. The Mind [Chitta] is the Operating System which touches this field of informati on, and translates it into things on the screen of conscious awareness. What we each become consciously aware of is thus a product of information being drawn in by our several senses translated into electrical impulses brought to various centers in the brain and only then are we consciously aware of our surroundings, sounds, sights, and so on. Thus what we “see” or assume to be a world we observe with our eyes is not actually “out there” in any wa y. What we see “out there” is all the second state of reality: realit y: processed information. The two forms of reality never touches. The conscious Mind in essence – essence – because because it is totally dependent dependent on its i ts five senses – senses – never never actually directly touches [apprehends] the first state of reality. In a more Occidental term, we can say that the t he objective world and the subjective
world never touches, and that the conscious mind of a person can only be aware of what has been captured in it’s own brain. In other words, the reality that we consciously know, is not the Original Reality, but a processed one; and that we can not genuinely grasp or consciously know the Original via our senses or everyday conscious mind, because our conscious awareness is itself only a product of the aggregation of these same senses which is like a wall between our conscious awareness and the Original Reality. One of my bhikkhu grandpas explains Citta [mind/consciousness] as a Blind but intelligent king who is completely dependent on 5 viziers that aren’t very smart and that don’t always tell the truth. This Blind king must struggle to learn to use his inner sense of reason and intuition to discern what his idiot viziers gives to him or his kingdom falls. In other words, what you know, and observe cannot be accepted at face value. You must learn to use your inner sense of Reason and Intuition to measure everything that you become consciously aware of. This is where language, thought, beliefs, and memes becomes such an i nfluential factor, because these things influences the Mind, and the Mind is the Operating System which impregnates the brain with information that is interpreted by Consciousness as “reality.” Thus what we think, what beliefs we have in our heads, literally forms our world we experience. Give a person the meme: <> and if this person believes, his reality has a heaven in it. Give a person the meme: <> and if the person believes, their reality becomes the kind where humans evolve from primates. In both of these brief examples, nothing about the First State of Reality has altered or changed. What happened is that an extra component [the memes] has been introduced which contaminates information by acting like a virus that injects its “genetic information” into the stream of information the Mind is processing, thereby contaminating the end resulting image [ Second State of Reality]. In this context, Reality in Buddhism is not an illusion, at l east not the First State. What is an illusion or delusion is the Second State, especially for a person who has no mastery of their own Mind. In another illustration my bhikkhu grandpa told me is that the Mind is like 10 water buffaloes. If you give the 10 water buffaloes the freedom do as they wish and to go wherever they please, you get no work done on your field. You must learn to control all 10 water buffaloes to work the fields to produce yields. Most people in the West believe that freedom of thought is great; they would have it no other way. The idea that one’s Mind is absolutely free to wonder and think and believe as it pleases is wonderful. Along with this, it is also believed that you should be completely free to emotionally feel as you please. And then most Minds are not only free to believe and feel as they please, but they are at li berty to visualize and image whatever pictures and images that so entertains them. This is the state of Mind in which the 10 water buffaloes are just wandering about incoherently. So what you say. Who cares right? I care, and I would like my own descendants and associates to care for their own benefit and self-perfection. Because if you were to sincerely study a group of people successful in life who have the money, free time, life style of their dreams with a group of people who struggle with life whose life consists of drifting from servile job to job until retirement: you will begin to learn that the single most important difference between these two groups is one of Mental Ethos. I was fortunate to have personally known both rich and poor friends and I took the time to ask them questions to
probe deeper into their mental habits and mental culture, and there is a great big difference. Can you guess which of the two groups has a very well disciplined Mind? It is the same factor and differences between a person who is wise or enlightened and a person who is ignorant. When the mind incoherently wonders and is untamed, it is like a flashlight radiating photons randomly in every direction: there is no force or potency. When the Mind is tamed and intelligently controlled, it is like a laser, where those same photons are brought into a coherent beam which generates both force and potency: the potency or Potential/Power to influence and affect one’s causal environment. The Power to extract insight from Nature and from direct experience of Life, thus becoming Self-Enlightened as opposed to being told how to think and how to believe by a dead book written by others who are most often dead themselves. The field or causal environment is the world of experience. An untamed Mind, no matter how smart it may be, has very little if any command or control of what it experiences in life. As yet another illustration my bhikkhu grandpa told me about Mind: There are two big elephants pulling a helpless villager into the water. The villager struggles and screams for help because he doesn’t want to drown, but the elephants – beings much bigger then the man – pulls him into the water and he suffers [dukkha]. The two elephants are “habit of action” and “habit of mind,” or in other words: Inner and Outer Ethos. The helpless vill ager is Chitta [Consciousness/You]. Such habits [ethos] of action and Mind [way of thinking, thoughtprocess] manifests into what we experience and drags our conscious mind along. Untamed, unskilled, Ethos of action and Mind, born from ignorance and delusion, generates an experiential world of suffering. Habits are hard to break. And most often, we don’t realize anything is wrong until such habits break us first. So to me, something like memes [beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and such] are very important. Because these things, the ethos that arises from them, can not only affect my perception of things, but can drag me into a world of delusion and suffering. Direct Experience I am the kind of person that cannot allow myself to accept or believe in anything which I have not somehow experienced directly. Especially if they are thoughts and beliefs originating from the written words of other people. One who struggles to Tame the Mind must cultivate its content very carefully. What I believe, mostly arises from the experience in life I have directly touched or that have directly affected me. What I know comes from three main sources: 1) my own direct experiences; 2) my own understandings of nature; & 3) living people who have also accumulated wisdom in the same direct manner. I only use books as footnotes, and references. There are several names and terms for learning and growing or evolving as a person by direct experience of life, and direct apprehension of Nature in different Cultures and Traditions. David Myatt aptly describes one such term and method:
“The Greek term πάθει μάθος (pathei -mathos) derives from The Agamemnon of Aeschylus (written c. 458 BCE), and can be interpreted, or translated, as meaning learning from adversary, or wisdom arises from (personal) suffering; or personal experience is the genesis of true learning.
“However, this expression should be understood in context, for what Aeschylus writes is that the Immortal, Zeus, guiding mortals to reason, has provided we mortals with a new law, which law replaces previous ones, and this new law – this new guidance laid down for mortals – is pathei-mathos. “Thus, for we human beings, pathei -mathos possesses a numinous authority – that is, the wisdom, the understanding, that arises from one’s own personal experience, from formative experiences that involve some hardship, some grief, some personal suffering, is more valuable than any doctrine, than any religious faith, than any impersonal words one might read in some book. [...]
“The essential difference be tween these two ways is that what we may call the way of patheimathos is the personal way of direct experience, while the religious way is the way of abstractions. For the way of pathei-mathos, knowledge – and thus learning, based on such knowledge – is personal, direct, acquired in the immediacy of a living, a lived-through, moment of one’s own mortal life. For the religious way, knowledge – and thus learning, based on such knowledge – can be and has been contained in something otherthan- ourselves which we have to or which we can learn from: something impersonal, some abstraction, such as a book, a dogma, a creed, some Institution, some teacher or master.” – From Aeschylus To The Numinous Way; David Myatt Although the term “Pathei-Mathos” is new to me, the essence of the term is something I had long lived by, had been taught, and which had been around in my own culture for about a thousand years. Vibhajjavada is the term I am familiar with which is a concept similar [NOT the same thing] in Essence as Pathei-Mathos. It should be emphisized that each word describes it’s own unique concept, methodology, and approach. About ~75% of what I know in my head comes from reflecting and studying my own life experiences, my elders, and from the Forest Doctrine [studying and meditating on Nature]. Because of this, I have a hard time referencing sources when I do share insight: it’s not like I can refer people to my grandpa or some personal experience I may have had when I was 10. People who are used to accumulation of information from dead books and the internet seem to consider information and insight that lacks verifiable references to be invalid. Many of these people never really consider that their information may not even be Primary Source Information, or that it is lifeless knowledge gained from reading a dead book. And that the Original Source of such book knowledge was somebody’s own direct observation and dir ect experiences. I think some doctor once said: “You can’t genuinely understand Life from studying a dead body.” Pathei-Mathos and Living Culture versus book based knowledge is like cooking. To il lustrate: I learned how to make spaghetti from Kayla who is a living person. She learned how to make spaghetti from her mother who is a living person. And her mother learned it directly from her mother who is Italian, and so on. So we see that the “style” or methodology of making spaghetti I got from Kayla came from a Living Tradition. This living tr adition has had a long time of application, trial, test, research & development to refine itself and evolve its own unique methods, style, and flavour. The uniqueness of putting a f ew “drops” of olive oil, a “pinch” of salt, a “tip” of fresh basil, and a two “thumb’s length” of rosemary into a pot of water and using sun dried tomatoes with the sauce and so on. So this living tradition which I
got has had time to work out its bugs, to figure out what makes the spaghetti taste better and stuff. There was never anything Dogmatic about the methods I was taught from Kayla. But let’s say that I wanted to share this family recipe with others. So I write a cook book and I try to explain in words what I was taught. This is when what was once a living culture is captured into dead words, like something living and evolving has been turned into stone. This is when problems come into the picture. Let’s say a group of friends on the other side of the world China buys my book and studies how to make Ka yla’s spaghetti. This Chinese group – because they have no real connection to a living culture – follows the book Dogmatically. If the book says “half a pot of water,” or a few “drops,” or a “pinch” debates and arguments may arise as to what exactly a drop or a pinch is, or how long “two thumb’s length” of rosemary is exactly. The belief may arise – from ignorance – that if they do not follow the book exactly, that they are not cooking real Italian Spaghetti. They forget – or are not aware – that such recipes and traditions, have literally had hundreds of years of freedom to evolve, adapt, change, and mutate. Wisdom versus book based knowledge is the same way. I’ll use Buddhism as an example because its something I have direct experience with. I do have certain major contentions with Buddhism spreading in the West and being adopted by Westerners. I think it is wonderful, but I also think most in general apprehend Buddhism in the wrong way. I got my “Buddhism” from my mom and elders in my family. I have never read a “holy book” on Buddhism, nor have I ever heard anyone recite “Buddhist scriptures” to me. I am taught by my elders as I go along in life. My mothers [I have two] teach me what I need to know according to my level of understanding and experience in life. They learned about it in the same way: from living people, from monks and lay elders: Sangha. That Sangha/Community is a nexus and nexion through which a living culture passes naturally from one generation to the next. That Sangha is like a snake which sheds its old skin over time. It regenerates itself with each new generation as the old one dies. It transcends Time. And over the hundreds and thousands of years of that Sangha’s living existence, it’s collective direct experiences and application of Buddhism, it has had Time to work out the “bugs” in Buddhism. To figure out how t hings about Buddhism best work in life. Its own experiences, application, and insights borne from such trial of application supersedes written words: the Tipitakas are only guide lines which are not infallible and must be testes and tried in life. So what I have gotten from my family, living culture, and community as Buddhism, may and does differ from what was written circa 2500 years ago in books. But – generally speaking – when a Westerner becomes a Buddhist, it happened like a Christian conversion or a college course. They read a book by the Dalai Lama, or research online, or read the Tipitakas, like what they read, and choose to identify their ego/self as a “Buddhist” meaning one who follows what has been read and written. These people assume that being Buddhist means accepting what Monks and Dalai Lamas have w ritten or that being Buddhist means behaving and doing what other Buddhists do. When t hey do something or experience something which deviates from what they have read, this deviation shakes up their superficial or ego-identification as a Buddhist. In their sincerity they may be devoted to Buddha, and try faithfully to follow Dhamma; but the general Occidental Buddhism is completely devoid of the third Jewel: Sangha; which cuts them off from living wisdom, a means to learn from a living culture, and a means to apply and practice Buddhism. As
Buddhism is a social and communitarian way of life where one helps relieve the suffering and wants of those around you: Community/Order/Fellowship of Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, Upasakas, and Upasikas which is Sangha. In Buddhist Cultures, the Sangha is most often made up of ones own kinfolk, relatives, and friends. One example of this phenomenon is the first Precept of Buddhism: “I will refrain from killing.” A living culture which has had a thousand years to test and try this precept in the real world understands the meaning of this precept and knows why this precept exists, and understands what Context and Condition such a precept is applied. On the other hand, people who depend on the written word base their beliefs NOT on direct experience, but on interpretation of words become gripped with confusion due t o misinterpretations, misunderstandings, born from a lack of application of vibhajjavada, praxis, and life experience. So some such Buddhists may interpret this precept to mean that as a Buddhist one should be vegetarian as to not harm and kill animals. Some may interpret this precept to mean that as an ego which superficially identified itself with Buddhism, that a Buddhist cannot join the military. They fail to realize that in the real world – the world beyond dead letters, written words, theoretical conceptualization and intellectualization – the Buddha ate meat and died eating meat [he ate meat which was poisoned]; that the Buddha never condemned or suggested that those kings and warriors who came to him to give up their capital punishment of criminals and their wars to live like pacifist beggars; that living Theravada Cultures such as Thailand, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka have armies, raise farm animals, eat meat, kill, and engage in wars; yet they are the most devout Buddhist Cultures; and that Shaolin Monks invented, teach, and use many forms of lethal martial arts. The difference is Time and Direct Experience versus written words and the interpretation of those words. Both give birth to Belief Patterns. One set of Beliefs is t ied and bond to Life, whereas the other is very removed from Life. If Life is the ultimate Primary Source, then books are merely secondary sources of information: merely someone’s opinions, convictions, and interpretation of Life. What is wrong with you that you can’t put your own self in the middle of feral Life and from your own direct experiences and direct apprehension, form your own opinions, convictions, and interpretations? Why have many of us become dependent on others to tell us what reality is, what to believe and disbelieve, what is right and wrong, true and false? I do believe that each Initiate of the Order of Nine Angles should strive to understand the difference between these two forms of belief patterns, and to strive to cultivate insight, wisdom, and knowledge from application and trial of theories and principles, praxis, and Pathei-Mathos. Each of us Dreccians should learn to understand that what has been written are just words: only the words of one man, one girl, or one fellow mortal struggling to understand the mysterious reality we all exist in. These many words written in the ONA should only be used as guides, like a crudely drawn map of a barely explored landscape. It is what we each experience and learn while we travel this unexplored landscape that is our genuine knowledge and wisdom. Road maps can be wrong. My friends and I were up in Bi g Bear this one time and we were trying to find the freeway so we were following the GPS lady. She told us to turn onto some small steep dirt road which we assumed would take us to the freeway: our car almost slid into the lake below.
I also believe that the ONA should strive to make it self into a new living tradition wherein we each share our Life borne insights, knowledge, and wisdom with each other, and pass such things down to our progeny. We can see this already happening. As of now, the ONA has become an expressive culture of living people sharing their insights borne from their personal quest and pathei-mathos. Anton Long began it and continued to share his insights for 40 years. During which time many others came and went sharing and teaching what they know. I am just one, of many now, and I hope many will continue this way and tradition of living Initiates sharing insights based on their own personal quest and direct experiences for our own common and collective growth, evolution, and progression. Continuing something old and ancient as a modern belief pattern is something I do not agree with. As insightful as I personally find Buddhism to be, I cannot accept it as my Software because it does not address my real world needs, concerns, current world views, and visions for a future. If we hold onto the past or things of the past we anchor ourselve and this has an affect on our Potential to actualize all that we are worth and capable of striving for. I do believe that the only way to influence and inspire each new generation to reach for the next stage in human evolution is to inspire us and them with new ideas, new memes, and new biological software that inspires us and them to reach for the stars. Beliefs Our Beliefs shapes our world and wyrdfully gives rise to our experiences in Life. Generally speaking, I classify Beliefs into 3 different “species” or categories: 1) Personal; 2) Consequential; and 3) Trivial. Each species of belief patterns or memes is measured by its causal effectiveness or potency: meaning if and what they can/cannot manifest. Personal Memes are ideas and belief patterns that actually causally generates something measurable and observable in your Personal life. For example the belief that I am ugly or fat does have a direct material, mental, emotional, and physical influence and effect on me. Practical belief patterns also fall into this category. Such as the practical belief that eating healthy, working out, and staying fit is good for me. Practical and pragmatic belief patterns like if I go to school and work hard I will get a good paying job, and that if I learn to save money in a savings, stocks, 401K’s, and Bonds now, that when I reti re I will live very well off. These are practical and pragmatic belief patterns which have a very real affect on life that we can each personally observe and experience. Consequential Memes are a step further from personal apprehension and direct experience. Mythos of certain types may be such a Belief Pattern. Such as the Mythos of the Vedas in consequentially gives rise to a common living culture and social group identit y to an ordering of people [Hindus]. Like the Mythos of the Bible, Torah, or Qur’an consequentially gives rise to cultures, common practices, collective identity, and even civilizations. But belief patterns such like “nature was meant to be conquered” is also consequential because such belief patterns over time gives rise to deforestation, extinction of species, disharmony with nature, growing climate changes and so on. Consequential Memes are observable and measurable over long periods of time. The longer the time frame, the more pronounced it’s causal effects. Thus, from the study of such consequential belief patterns in context to Time, we learn to understand and see with our own eyes that our Beliefs are not just intangible thoughts that stay in our minds. They have very real influences on people and real effects on the world.
Trivial Memes are useless beliefs that really do nothing personally or consequentially. If lif e were a house, Personal Belief Patterns are things like the stove, fridge, the shower, the toilet, and washing machine. Consequential Beliefs are like the furniture, the X-Box, the Wii, and so on. Trivial Beliefs are like the wall paper, décor, the paintings, the giant vase, and drapery. In real life Trivial beliefs are things like the idea of a finite or infinite or curved universe. It really doesn’t matter whether you believe or disbelieve in such ideas or not because either way, it does and changes nothing. So you believe in the big bang: then what? So you think space is curved and wormholes can take you back into time: and then what? The belief that God is a trinity is Trivial: big whoop, why trinity, how about a quintinity instead. Nothing spectacular happens anywhere whether I believe in such trivial memes or not. The belief in Lovecraftian god creatures from some Lovecraftian otherworldly realm is Trivial. How does believing or disbelieving in such a meme relate to my personal needs in life, my relationships with people in life, what I want of life, and where I want to go in life, and what I want the world to be like? The idea of killing millions of people not like you is sinister, is pointless: how about a billion or a trillion? It’s sinister to enslave the human race: why just human mundanes; lets enslave aliens from other planets too and all abled bodied life forms from other galaxies too? Taking over the world is sinister: why stop at the world; lets be supersinister and take over every multiverse system too while we’re make believing. We as people tend to keep Personal Memes or practical memes closer to us because these types of memes tend to stay relevant to us longer: relevant to our personal and direct life, needs, and experiences. Memes such that helps us get better jobs, be better people, make more money and friends, get more out life, those that help us develop better relationships with others, that teaches us to get material needs and wants out of life stay relevant to us over long periods of time. Trivial beliefs are changed, adopted, and thrown away easily with a change in mind. This understanding of the enduring nature or easy trashability of memes is important for a Memeplex or Institution which desires to exist for a long time and which desires to remain relevant to successive generations of people into the future. If you base your entire memplex on useless trival ideas/memes, your institution will get a high turn over rate: meaning that people will come and go often. High turn over r ate in the business arena is bad because your business lacks the ability to generate or develop a dependable market and loyal consumer base. A corporation and/or product t hat does not have a dependable market and loyal consumer base will not sell stocks and is thus financially broke and worthless. A memeplex that does not have a dependable market and loyal consumer fanbase is broke in social capital and worthless. If a memeplex is bankrupt in social capital and worthless, then it does have the means or potency of influence. This understanding is simple “social mathematics,” and the backbone of politics, political and sectarian power and influence. You need power and influence if change in people, society, and civilization is desired. A memeplex with a lot of useless trivial memes does not last and is i mpotent as far as social engineering is concerned. Unless you anchor your trivial memes to consequential memes such as a reward and punishment: heaven, hell, paradise, reincarnation, etc. These beliefs are “consequential” because they do alter our behaviour and ethos of mind, which wyrdfully translates over time into causal results. The most enduring memes are Personal Memes in the form of Cultural Memes. By Cultural Memes, I mean to say an indigenous people’s Way of Life, and their Traditions. Such memes even transcends humanity. This species of memes can even be seen in Chimpanzee culture. For example the meme of sticking a thin twig down a termite mound to fish for termites, or
the use of a rock to crack open nuts. These are practical memes that over time becomes Culture which is past down from one living entity to another. Thus, such a culture is, in every sense of the phrase, a Living Tradition. This example of chimpanzee cultural memes works well also because it is a knowing and wisdom each chimp apprehends which is not book based or dogmatic which yields very measurable and practical results t hat each chimp can personally see and experience. The same goes for human culture. Personal Memes like indigenous dress codes, codes of behaviour such as manners and paying respect to one’s elders, cultural dances and art, rites of passage, methods of farming and styles of architecture, dialect of language. All these memes come together to form a Memeplex that out lives even religion and civilization. How many civilizations and religious sects have come and gone in places like Europe, India, and China? Yet despite the rise and fall of political and religious regimes and movements, the peoples of these lands have remained culturally intact over the countless millennia. Of course – as anything living – such cultural memplexes have evolved and adapted over time to what changes and challenges such living cultures meets and faces. Without evolution and progression, all things, even memeplexes die. What will this ONA become in the years ahead? What kind of ideas/memes will it fill itself up with? Trivial ideas and useless beliefs? With consequential memes that generates negative results in time? Or will it be and become something meaningful and practical. A living culture and tradition that endures the ravage of Time? Software Usually when we find new computer software we install it and give it a try to figure out if we like the program or not. We usually [unless you’re a supernerd] don’t actually read the software coding and judge the program on what coding we read. So for the typical binarycode illiterate person like myself, we install the software and if it does things we like we keep it. But if it messes our computer up, we quickly delete the program and throw it away. If we take so much care to do this with our computers, than why not with our own Minds? Generally we ignorantly adopt a belief because it sounds good to us, or because we have been convinced by others to adopt a belief. Yet we never pay any attention to what such biological or neurological software does to us, what such software turns us into, what they make us do, how they make us see the world, and most importantly: the causal End Results such beliefs bares. Sometimes we can’t even see or get ourselves to understand that our beliefs we have installed into our Minds has very negative and destructive results, consequences, and effects on our person and in our lives. We continue to judge a meme or memeplex based on some silly notion of whether they are believable or not. Whether they are factual or “fake.” Whether they are true or not. When such factors have very little relevance to the power and potential of memes to influence, effect, and manifest experiential End Results. It does not matter if a belief pattern is false or true, believable or unbelievable. What matters is what each meme/belief pattern does and the fruits such beliefs bares. Mythos does not always have to be factually true, if it generates a stronger tribal identity and bond between tribal members of an indigenous folk, then it has produced a positive and productive yield.
The belief that drug and alcohol are bad is debatable, but agreeing with or disagreeing, debating and arguing with it is not the issue. However you see it, if you abuse drugs and alcohol, it will fuck your life up in many ways, which is a negative and destructive yield. Whether or not Communism is true or fake or whatever is irrelevant. What truly matters is its causal End Result. What conditions of life and what kinds of people has Communism manufactured? Whether Capitalism is good or bad is irrelevant. What genuinely matters is the End Results such a memetic software engineers. What is the condition of life and people Capitalism engineers and creates? Is that condition what you have always dreamed of living? You can’t dream or envision anything better? Is a consumer trained to work and buy to support wealthy and powerful oligarchies the type of human being you have always wanted to be? You can’t dream or envision of a better type o f human being? Memeplexes such as religion is the same way. It’s not a case of whether a religion is true or fake, or if a religion is rational or irrational. What we must each learn to observe, assess, and evaluate is what kinds of people these religious software manufactures. Think of religions as being factories that manufactures self-replicating products. The Question is what KIND of product are these software producing and putting into the world. Over Time the generic product of a memeplex can be seen. Ask yourself what kinds of people the memeples of LaVeyan Satanism manufactures. This memeplex has had 50 years of production. 50 years of consumers downloading their LaVeyan Software. What good has come out of San Francisco? After 50 years of LaVeyan Software, what kinds of people has Modern Satanism produced? How many millionaires? How many are successful in life? How many live the life of their dreams? How many live in the home of their dreams? How many don’t have fat ugly girlfriends? LaVey died broke and alone. Zeena does so much drugs she barely has any teeth left in her mouth. Not only did that “family” not even function properly, but the individual members of the LaVey family don’t even function properly as individuals. What great products ever came out of the ToSer Software besides a handful of internet forum jockies making posts about some trivial Egyptian god? What is your typical Setian like as a person, in thought, and what kind of life are they living? Do you want to be like them? Do you want to play pretend games with Aquino and make believe his imaginary friend Set is relevant to anything? What kind of people does the occult scene manufacture? Besides lunatics like crazy fat ladies who give psychic reading to horses and pets. Crazy people wasting their lives chasing after imaginary super powers to make their dreams come true, all the while neglecting life, disconnected from life and lost in occult memes, and lacking the social skills to actually get what they want and need out of life in a real practical way? Do you want to end up being a fat woman that talks to horses? Or a fat grand magister that drives a truck and talks to the devil? What good does the Christian memeplex do but manufacture bigots and haters? Buddhism is just as bad, they misinterpret their religion to mean that being Buddhist means being pacifist wimps, and when China takes their country Tibet away they cry and whine like babies. Whose fault is it that Tibet is conquered and that Tibetans have lost their culture, their religious freedom, and now suffer in poverty and political tyranny? Is this the kind of person you want to end up being? Do you want to be like these typical products of such memeplexes? Is that your highest aspiration in life: to be dysfunctional crazy good for nothing human beings that are only good for propagating useless religions? If it is, then I pity you because that’s a very low and pathetic aspiration. Why is that that we c an
panic over how our computer is messing up because of shitty software, but when the software we install into out brains messes us up we ignore it and hold onto such destructive programs? Now the Question for us in the ONA is what kind of factory can we make our ONA into, and what kind of people has it manufactured in the past, and what kinds of new human beings do we want to create for the future? It’s all about the quality and potential of our Software. We determine the quality and value of the ONA by the Sinister Software we develop, the people we each become and what people our ONA is producing and will produce. Do you as a Dreccian understand that you have great potential and that you can – with will and effort – become something more than what you are? Does the ONA help you actualize that latent potential? Do we as Dreccians dream of a better world, have visions of a greater civilization, and greater starborn humanity? Does our ONA Software in any way help facilitate and actualize those dreams and visions? If it doesn’t then these are practica l programs we each need to look into further. Is the ONA relevant to your personal needs, your personal growth and evolution, your personal world view? Does ONA help you live the life you want, manifest what you want and need out of life? If not then these are programs we also need to consider. We are each in life a living testament to what the ONA is. We are each a living product of what the ONA produces and yields. Most institutions out there that exist have been around for years, hundreds of years, and thousands of years. Do you like what kinds of people they have manufactured? If not, then the only option we have is to create our own memetic factory which will engineer the type, quality and kind of people we want to become, and what kinds of people we will need to help us actualize our vision. What we believe, what ideas and beliefs we agree or disagree with matters very little. What matters is what those beliefs/software causes us to Become. Our beliefs – although ethereal – truly does have a very real affect on our Minds, Feelings, Actions, and World. Mastering Life begins with Mastering one’s own Mind. If we want to change the World and Ourselves, it begins with our Minds and what we clutter it with. Chloe 352 Order of Nine Angles 121 yf
