What first brought you into magick?

How do you use memes in magick?

Can you tell me a story concerning your time in memetics?

What's the "best meme" out right now?

And lastly, hit me with a recommended reading list, por favor.

>What first brought you into magick?

I saw it referenced in BMW, including by this board's owner, who claimed to have memed "meme magic" into existence, which I found amusing. In a larger context, this is one of the places I have arrived after following and participating in conversations in various parts of the internet. I'm not a white nationalist nor anything of the sort (I'm largely apolitical) and ending up in places like this was quite a surprise.

>How do you use memes in magick?

I don't believe in "magick" but I guess I could see "magic" as a bit of a metaphor.

There's the whole salesman aspect which I find completely uninteresting. The world is filled with salesmen. I am much more interested in idea-generation. This can involve exposing people to novel relationships between ideas that aren't directly replicated but can serve as inspiration in the creation of new ideas. To this end, I've done a bit of work here and in other closely related forums, weaving together various narratives, media, and topics together, often with similar or the same references. With this post my work here will be concluded, and I'm off to greener pastures.

>Can you tell me a story concerning your time in memetics?

I'll continue the history I laid out.

The age of computers ushered in the age of mathematical machines, which are now a ubiquitous part of our society. These machines revolutionized many parts of mathematics, doing calculations that formerly took scores of people in a small fraction of the time, and computations that were simply impossible to do by hand. This led to the current information age, when computers were linked in a global network and many expressions of human communication (image, sound, text, video) were digitized.

The Internet has become the world's central nervous system, and is in many parts of the world the largest vector of cultural change. It has accelerated the rate of cultural change, sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

T-take me with you!

Your posts really remind me of myself. Perhaps I'm a variant of you at 22, and so I'm devouring all you have to say.

I study linguistics and I'm writing PhD in memetics. I have youtube channel with popular Internet "memes" with 10k+ subs. I too am apolitical and have disdain for unoriginal memes artificially manafactured for profit by "salespeople". Corporate manner of talking scares me. I think most people interested in memetics might have clusters of memes that interpolate with mine, and I think these clusters might be a bit schizoid.

That people around the world are slowly waking up to the memetic reality makes me a bit uncomfortable, because while I quite like the schizoid part of me, the whole world of schizoids, who look at the world as dance of memes, would be very crazy. I mean, to see the patterns in the picture you've got to detach yourself far enough to see the whole picture. It means detaching yourself from the picture: politics, ideologies, relationships, most things considered human nowadays. Aren't you afraid that the consequence of the universal embrace of the memetic reality is deprogramming of the human drive/motivation/libido? If you detach yourself from the memes that you consist of in order to see them whole, your drive to act through these memes is diminished. I see it in my own experience and that of my colleagues. I'm not depressed or anything, but the more I deal with memetics, the less spontaneous and less innocent I grow. More and more I see the world as a hilarious joke. And my very act of detaching from the world is simultaneously the act of embracing the world, because it's like I'm actor in the middle of the stage playing my role of detaching schizoid.

so much emphasis on if there is a cost or if something is "used" loosh is infinite on command, so pay no attention to how much you are doing but if so you are doing.. theres days for negativity and positivity so dont mind the days you expend alot because there will be times for conserving which are all too often

>>274

Power is infinite, but that's not what we were talking about.

To speak a little on power then. There is only one measure of power: an infinity. No matter how it is divided or reduced it remains infinite. Every expenditure is an infinite expenditure. Every scrap is beyond measure in its scope.

It is senseless to speak of power without speaking of its sister, will. Equal and opposite, power and will spiral in an eternal golden helix. As power is the light, so will is the darkness and yet the two are one.

Will is blind, It touches nothing, sees nothing, knows nothing and is nothing. Forever engulfed in an empty void. It is blind because it has no light by which to see.

Power, too, is blind. It touches everything, sees everything, knows everything and is everything. Omniscient yet with no way to distinguish anything from the whole. It's blind because it constantly has a spotlight in its eyes.

One without the other is folly. Will without power is impotent. Power without will is senseless. It is in their reunion, the bringing together of positive and negative charges, matter and anti-matter that magic is found.

There is a lot (a hell of a lot) more that could be said on the subject but it serves little to babble on it. These things defy words, they are above and beyond them. Infinity cannot be truly captured in such tiny squiggles and sounds. As such, take everything with a pinch of salt. Go see it for yourself. I guarantee you, the words you find to cage it and bring it into a form that you can hold a hope of understanding will be very different to the ones I found.

MY question: how? where?

>“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."

Do you often fantasize about bad things happening to people you dislike, including engaging in revenge fantasies?

This is called "ill-wishing" and is one of the worst forms of black magic - not necessarily for the target (though it can, via the hateful actions of the ill-wisher who can no longer be sated by mental masturbation) but for the practitioner themselves. This illness is very much physical - it feels terrible to hate, and to rage. It needs an outlet, and so to give this poison such you direct it towards fantasy, much like masturbation.

There is a way to dispel anger in a way that is not poisonous. It is the act of well-wishing. In this visualization, you imagine the transgressor in a future period having grown out of and moved beyond whatever caused the transgression, and have become a happier and better person because of it. Remove your own ego from it, such as the expectation of an apology, or specific ideas about what would count as growth.

It is also important not to expect such an outcome to be an occurrence, but instead to acknowledge it as an ought.

This is an emergency measure one can take while they look for better methods of emotional regulation. Mindfulness meditation in particular is great for treating the underlying issue.

It would have happened at the height of her power, when the virus was still in first world countries and people were scared of it becoming an epidemic outside Africa. Now she's much less prevalent and lacks the attention necessary for an egregore.
