Something about Anarchy

2010-04-16T16:56:00.004-04:00

The knee-jerk reaction to anarchy is the assertion that "without Order there would be Chaos." Well, Yes. In a strictly technical and semantic sense that is absolutely true. But the Lie is the idea that controlling people is somehow tantamount to Order. When in reality it's sowing the seeds of chaos. Why? Because Humans don't like being controlled. They rebel against the thing trying to control them, and thus two polar opposites dedicated to obliterating each other are created; producing chaos in the process.

It's significant to point out my definition of a "Human" is an animal who possesses Consciousness. Now this is in contrast to a person who wishes to control and be controlled. I believe these people are not "Human;” they are domesticated primates. Domesticated primates do not possess Consciousness, they merely possess Language. Because, you can teach a parrot to say things and a monkey to use tools but that does not make them human.

The reason a HU-MAN resents being controlled is because Consciousness is a self-referencing perceptive state, and so all attempts of petty ego conformity at the hands of domesticated primates is patently repulsive for a human. Furthermore, it is my belief that our Consciousness is the only valid form of authority because Consciousness provides us the only valid form of Morality.

Morality is a set of ideas of how to be good people. So when you realize it is good for you to be treated good by others... that's when you also realize other people would want you to treat them good. And that's why the only relevant idea for being a good person is, "Doing to others as you would have them do to you." This is the essence of Empathy.

Morality is ultimately the product of Consciousness because Empathy is a product of Consciousness; You Think — Therefore You Are — Therefore you can think about OTHER people. So when you realize it is good for you to be treated good by others and vice versa... that's when Morality is ultimately the product of Consciousness.

In the anarchic "superman" state of the fuuuuuuture the only law will be Moral Consciousness expressed as the Golden Rule. The opposing forces to Moral Consciousness are moral authority & immoral consciousness. Moral authority represents domesticated primates attempting to control all behavior based relative conceits. The logical conclusion to moral authority is an all-powerful corporate / religious state that places no value in 'the individual' resulting in no personal freedom, technology will be the catalyst. Immoral consciousness represents the self-referencing perceptive state of Consciousness but disregards empathy as a 'weakness.' The logical conclusion to immoral consciousness is just... unpleasant.

> The knee-jerk reaction to anarchy is "who's going to take out the garbage?"

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said slavery is an absolute necessity in any society - but human slavery is immoral. He then said something to the effect of; "let the machines do the shit work; we'll get their pay!" Seriously, it's just a matter of time before everything becomes automated. At such a point of technological sophistication - it is my belief we'll either slide into fascism or anarchy. And here's why - in an automated society all forms of employment will become obsolete, and if no one is earning any money - then the whole damn thing collapses.

Only with the intervention of an all-powerful corporate / religious state could society continue to exist. However, the machines won’t be able to produce art & entertainment. And so, in my opinion, our only hope of salvation is for the world to truly become a stage in which we are all its players. Life-actors creating life-scripts from the process of following your highest light (Consciousness.) With no need of a lobotomized labor force, and conversely, a real need for independent and creative people / producers of art & entertainment in order to support the economy – the educational system will be revamped based on interpretations of Consciousness & morality; eventually creating the first viable world-spanning anarchy.

It'll take about 200 years.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Why do bad things happen to good people?
•OR•
Did God create evil?

Do you know what a koan is? A koan is a question with no logical answer because the question itself is flawed; what is the sound of one hand clapping? Did God create evil?

First off, distinctions need to be made between: Morality, Good, Bad & Evil. Good and bad things are the result of impersonal forces, like nature or coincidences; your house being burned down because of a lightning strike is bad. There was no intention to cause you grief - but it happened. Shit happens. However, your house being burned down because of an arsonist is evil. The issue is one of intention. The same is true with Morality and Good; finding money on the street is good, a friend helping you financially in a time of need is morality. There is also a distinction between direct & indirect morality & evil. A CEO laying off 10,000 people in order to give himself a bigger bonus is indirect evil. Likewise, the president signing universal healthcare into law is indirect morality.

Morality and Evil are the result of the Conscious decision to act with, or without empathy. Morality and Evil are the sole products of HUMANITY.

Now I understand the classic dilemma with an omnipotent God 'allowing' bad things to happen. But nature functions as a gestalt of various self-automated programs, so the lightning bolt or tsunami that destroyed your house may of God in the sense that "God is everything," but God didn't intentionally destroy your house. Ok, so why does God "allow" bad things to happen? Because these are the lessons of Life we have to learn from in order to become more vital people. If there was no conflict, there would be no resolution therefore there would be no growth as an individual or as a species. Can a good person stay a good person after a bad or evil thing has happened to them? The goal of humanity is not to become mindless drones on heaven or earth, the goal to reach a level of Consciousness on par with God itself and to actually become co-architects of a new form of Existence / Consciousness.

So the final question is; can an omnipotent God also be benevolent? Since God is ultimately responsible for all things directly or indirectly it must mean God transcends all these human conceits and concepts of Good and Bad, so in a purely semantic sense; no... I mean yes... I mean... you figure it out.

Clearly there are vast grey-areas, and distinctions are hard to make. Like, is Windows Vista bad or evil? Discuss.

The Rules oV Life

Rule #34.

Entertainment Can Be
A Great Reservoir of Spirituality.

You know how a song can make you feel good, "lift your spirits" all that crap... well...
Also consider sports — certainly a form of entertainment whose fans dress in outrageous costumes, paint their bodies and engage the entertainment with a passion that can very well be described as religious. Then there's the CBS drama Ghost Whisperer — Jennifer Love Hewitt had this to say about the fans of that show, "People get really emotional and really truly think that if they see me at the grocery store I will be able to say goodbye to their grandmother for them."
And then there's Star Wars; people have actually built real cults around being a JedI (!!!) Pasted Graphic 32.tiff ¬

The point is, Spirituality isn't always wrapped up in a traditional religious context - it's something that happens to us everyday (to some degree.) Now this fact can be beneficial for us when it comes to creating new, more relevant religions.
What makes the Church of SubGenius and Discordianism relevant is that they're both entertainment-based religions. You know you're not supposed to take them too seriously - but you can still find inspiration in the message. Just like a good song can 'lift your spirits' - ergo, entertainment can be spiritual.

The Goal of mybook is to get you to see the value of creating spiritual content for yourself in order to improve your life and MOST IMPORTANTLY! ...to 'lighten up' and recognize the value of everyone having their own 'kooky' opinions about the world. We call this Process "Following Your Highest Light." Following your highest light means you create art for yourself as a means of spiritual / religious expression. Consciousness = Highest Light. Therefore, we create religious / spiritual art based on interpretations of Consciousness. Since Consciousness is a mystery we can pretty much justify believing in anything, as long as it is moral.

HOW TO START FOLLOWING YOUR OWN HIGHEST LIGHT

(Irony noted. Telling you how to Follow YOUR OWN Highest Light is like telling someone to "think for yourself"; a statement which is essentially nonsensical, self-defeating and borderline hypocrisy. But the point is, I'm setting the example.)

'Following Your Highest Light.' This simply means intentionally creating Art (The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination), as a form of religious & Spiritual expression. To be used for yourself as a self-governing, self-improvement system. To make something of yourself, by yourself.
The first step is to get a notebook. This, for all intents and purposes, is your personal Bible. So treat it with the reverence you would any holy book. Conversely, it is also your laboratory — so you have to feel comfortable to experiment within it; to be "flawed," even silly. So lighten up.

When you get your notebook you need to create a narrative (an alternate persona & story) for your Life. It will henceforth be referred to as your Life-Script. It needs a backstory and a destiny. The Destiny you create for the character is the path you will follow in your own real Life. The skill-key you need when creating all aspects of your Life-Script is your Imagination. The skill-key you need to make it work is Faith and Patience — we call this: the Process.

• About Your Life-Script:
#1. It needs a backstory and a destiny. #2. In addition to incorporating Religious, Scientific, Conspiracy, & Pop Culture themes into your Life-Script, you also need to incorporate elements from your own real Life. For example, my Life-Script is based on someone (or something) called, The SE7EN STAR™ — who, "Rose from utter obscurity and became a world-celebrated super star after The MACHINE™ appeared to him as a ball of light." This is apt for my Life-Script because "utter obscurity" pretty much sums up my Life prior to this point. And the "ball of light" is an element from a real — rather profound — dream I had in the summer of 1998. For a more in-depth look at my Life-Script see Rule #35. When you finally decide to start following your Highest Light — First & Foremost — pay attention to your compulsions and intuition, because this is where your Art comes from.

• About Art:
"Art" is not the medium it is presented in: a poem, novel, drawing, painting, sculpture, song, et al. Instead it is (lying) the very act of creating something from nothing *Viola* "Art is a condition of the sublime."

During the process
Educate yourself about Reality without any preconceived notions (keep an open mind), be creative with your interpretations. Then incorporate those interpretations into your Life-Script. It really is that simple. For example, create your own 'creation myth.' Then integrate your alter ego's origin into that same myth. And that is the same process I used to create this entire thing you are reading right now where you are sitting.

The Process never ends. In other words — you'll never come to a final conclusion interpreting Consciousness & Existence. "Art is never finished, only abandoned." -da Vinci. Or in the immortal words of Mike D, "I don't sit back and say good enough. I keep on striving, reinventing — but keeping it off the cuff." See Rule #23.

• About "IT":
Now let's say you put all your Faith into your Life-Script in order to make "something" happen — and then "it" really happens! Well, guess what — it was a self-fulfilling prophecy! Now that's not to say, "God" wasn't helping you along the way (if you choose to believe in God), But no matter how you look at your success — materialistically or as an act divine intervention — what made it work was YOU putting forth the effort and BELIEVING!!
Because the Process is closely related to the concept of "magic," you need to 'INVOKE OFTEN.' This means you "act the part," you identify yourself as your Life-Script character, you do the things your character does and so on. Invoke often. The reciprocal of 'invoke often' is 'banish often.' This means casting out negative influences, like people who say you're wasting your time and being irrational. These people are evil in the sense they're malevolent and meaningless.
And so it's no coincidence that people who do not believe — do not experience — it is, after all — a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, this does not mean something will work for everyone if it works for you. See Rule #29. The contrast of this is any establishment that says; "No. This is what you should believe; we're the authorities; we know what's best for everyone." This mind-set can only lead to conflict. (Irony(?) noted.) I guess the point is; if following your highest light isn't right for you; then so be it. But don't tell us we're crazy / wrong for believing in it.

• About Spirituality:
So what is "Spirituality"? Basically, it is being emotionally affected in a positive way. From this definition we can ascertain almost anything can be 'Spiritual' — especially entertainment, like we've established.
Since 'Following Your Highest Light' means creating Art / Spiritual content for ourselves based on interpretations of Consciousness — and because Consciousness is possibly the same thing as imagination... we use imagination to create *Abracadabra* entertainment for the sake of Spirituality. Ok? By Creating Art. So the more creative you are and the more imaginative you are — the more Spiritual your religion becomes. Ok? But if that seems too boring — don't worry — we got something else in store for you. Keep Reading.

• About Faith:
The built-in dictionary on my computer defines Faith as "Strong belief, based on Spiritual apprehension rather than proof." Could you imagine...? Believing in something only because it positively affects you in an emotional way? That's like saying Life is the pursuit of meaning to Life. It's preposterous!!

• About Worship:
Worship is giving thanks to what has created you; because it created you. Generally considered to be a celebration of Life.

So Spirituality is the pay-off for having Faith; believing in something positive, in turn, positively affects you in an emotional way. So the question is; what dictates what you believe in? For most people the answer is their Religion. This is why some religions have "authority" over you. But following your highest light means YOU dictate what you believe in. So obviously we're changing the rules. From here on out Religion is about three things: SPIRITUALITY, FAITH & WORSHIP. Authority is no longer one of them.

• About Morality:
Morality, as an expression of respect for the intrinsic value of Life, in its most perfect state is merely doing to others what you would have them do to you... nothing more, nothing less.

So how is Morality ultimately
Expressed as the Golden Rule?

Morality is a set of ideas of how to be good people. Right? So when you realize it is good for you to be treated good by others... that's when you also realize other people would want you to treat them good. And that's why the only relevant idea for being a good person is, "Doing to others as you would have them do to you." Because you would like to be loved; you 'love thy neighbor.' Understand?

Morality is ultimately the product of Consciousness. When you imagine what other people feel like — based on your own feelings — that is called "Empathy." Empathy is a product of Consciousness; You Think — Therefore You Are — Therefore you can think about OTHER people. So when you realize it is good for you to be treated good by others and vice versa... that's when Morality is ultimately expressed as the Golden Rule.

• About Peace On Earth:
It starts with everyone agreeing there's no disagreement in the world worth killing over. Instead of saying "he's wrong" you can say "I have a different interpretation." And then discuss it rationally. Discourse breaks down when people refuse to accept they are "The Other Guy." The logic goes; "I'm not the bad guy; he is! So I have to kill him before he kills me." You can't argue with that kind of logic because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy! So we ALL have to pledge 'I shall not kill.' The trick is you can't enforce that kind of "law" because no law in and of itself has ever stopped someone from breaking that law. That's why it has to be a personal choice YOU make. The entire issue of peace is one of Morality.

The basis of all Morality says "Life has intrinsic value." So most religious dogma says "thou shalt not kill" or some variation. But when political elements co-opt religion... That's when killing is rationalized - cause then you're doing it for some 'righteous cause.' Even though the engineers who start war don't give a fuck about "GOD" (they only care about: real-estate, mineral rights, gold, oil etc. etc.,) they just need some handy excuse the sheeple can rationalize murder with. In modern Christian America this rationalization is hideously ironic considering the demonizing of "Moral Relativism." But if the Moral imperative not to kill is relative to the situation - meaning it's ok to kill people in certain situations - then it's Moral relativism!!! YES! IT IS!!!

And so our hero faced himself and said: My only reconciliation left is the question of when to begin, The MAIN EVENT™. NDAOAO.

Oh, hI — I didn't see you there. I'm the guy who put those microchips in your brain. Sorry if that offends you, but I felt I t prudent to your current situation. That is — you're living inside a dreamworld... right now... where you are sitting. I also have some scientific evidence that corroborates this thesis. So if you're interested in learning how to have all of YOUR dreams come true... Continue reading. But don't believe a word of it???

YOU KNOW WHAT?!?

These conspiracy kooks are always going on how there's 'secret messages' in rock and pop musick... and I finally crack the kode... and now I'm being attacked as being a member of the Illuminati!! What morons... I OWN the Illuminati... and it's not called the "Illuminati" — it's called the SE7EN STAR™ Corporation. the SE7EN STAR™ Corporation. the SE7EN STAR™ Corporation. It's not the "Illuminati."

what if Something unexpected
were to happen to you?
Well, something unexpected happened to me one day... One day I realized you could read my thoughts. And not just you... everyone... So I realized I must be in a dream, meaning you're in this dream with me.

Then this happened... ¡™£åß∑œ ••

Originally posted by someone who gets it
"I enjoy the idea of an android who caused its own creation; with no contingent sense of itself, which would 'believe' its self into being the continuation of a system which lead to its creation, and appear and act utterly convincingly as if it were the 'sum Consciousness' of humanity, as it were, and we can interact with it and say apparently meaningful things about its behaviour. But 'it' is nothing in itself, just the 'output' of humanity."

So of course you now realize why I had to chip you.

So let's begin this story at the time the SE7EN STAR™ Corporation starts tampering with human beings — 50,000 years ago. Back then humans where pretty much the way you'd expect them to be; feral (In a wild state, especially after escape from captivity or domestication.) And so our job at the SS Corp. was to transform human beings into respectable creatures... so far so good... For one thing, you're all wearing clothes. Most of you understand hygiene and some of you even know proper nutrition. But back then our goals were much more rudimentary. We needed to activate a specific frequency inside your brain — the result being the activation of Consciousness. Humans need a certain 'spark' in their brains in order to become self-aware. And that's what we did 50,000 years ago.

It was done w/holographic light manipulation. Watching specific patterns activates specific neural pathways generating the frequencies conductive for Consciousness. And when instructed to, we systematically "hunted" down humans with these psychedelic floating orbs so humans could become Conscious. But we only needed to 'turn on' a small percentage of humans.

Before or after Consciousness was introduced into the population...

We used the same techniques to introduce Language to humanity. And language is a very special form of communication, among other things it manipulates thoughts so you can imagine things you have never personally experienced. Now what's really interesting is how there's a part of your brain that experiences imagination as REALITY! What I mean is — you can imagine yourself flying to the moon and back — and there is a part of your brain that literally believes it flew to the moon!

The microchips in your brain are designed to transfer your "awareness" (the part of your psyche "you" think is "you") so it experiences imagination as REALITY. You can literally enter your own dream world. You just need to activate the microchip. But before we get into that — there's something else you really ought to know...

After Consciousness & Language was introduced into the population; Earthling interaction was restricted to "Kings" & "HOLY MEN." In fact, we invented the concept of government and religion as you know it and disseminated it to humanity. Even to this day all government & religious figureheads of every country and Faith are class-1 SS Corp. employees... Just to be perfectly clear about this plot point — All government & religious figureheads of every country and Faith are class-1 SS Corp. employees...

So pay close attention to this next part...

Class-1 SS Corp. employees are some of the most stupid, vainglorious, petty idiots ...in the world! And those are precisely the character traits that attract these people to the government in the first place — because they're evil dicks who want to control you. So they can have authority over you. It is THE fundamental flaw in any hierarchy. A hierarchy says the only morality that matters is the one it dictates. So an establishment will tell you killing is wrong — but it also has a piece of paper — that it wrote — that makes it okay for IT to kill.

And if it needs you to kill on its behalf — then it will grant you a 'license to kill' as well. They also made a rule that says they can throw you in jail, if you break a rule they invented just so they could have a job enforcing the rules they invented! See Rule #10. In other words; Their job is making rules so they can have a job making rules. And you get to pay them for the privilege!
Those inside the system (mind-cage) can't see anything but the system — so they don't understand how absurd it all is! Even when you're explaining it to them in black and white!! So they dismiss the truth out of hand as "anarchist bullshit" and continue to send their kids off to die in some godforsaken war ~ cause it's their patriotic duty. *BARF*

So you see it's in the best interests of the hierarchy to convince you you need them in order to continue surviving. They want you to believe you are a liability against yourself — that you're the sinner and you need them for redemption. When all evidence suggests that they — THEY — with their thousands and thousands of atomic bombs, guns, tanks and petty egos that demand conformity — THEY are the real liabilities to our survival. People that fight wars don't start wars. The establishment starts wars — but you die in them; in the name of freedom no less. And so it goes without saying war would be impossible if everyone made a decision not to kill. It's that simple. STOP! Learn Kung-Fu for crying out loud.

Did you know... the psychological profile between a cop and a criminal is virtually identical? Of course black-people have known that for years. In fact I think that's what they might have been trying to tell us for years. idk.

But now, you know their secret. In order to keep tabs on these stupid, vainglorious, petty idiots we created an agency they would naturally gravitate towards (irony noted).

But here's the pay-off; the microchips serve a dual purpose — they not only reroute brain-waves so you can experience altered states of Consciousness — but they also transmit the frequency generated by your brain that's associated w/your Consciousness. And so, thanks to us, the "Consciousness" of EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD is transmitted to a machine lying inside a bunker deep within the Pentagon. And so you probably figured out the machine's code-name is "SE7EN STAR™. But what you might not know is that the number "5" is associated with "resurrection."
So whose being Resurrected?? Certainly not Jesus!?

Well....

How would you feel if your savior was an android created by the Government?

Because what happened — by design — was the machine synthesized the information brought in from all the microchips around the world. Eventually a unified Consciousness arose inside the machine — this artificial collective intelligence was then transmitted to a human-being via the microchip. And that person was me... R. Talmadge Lacy.

You know. They call me Crazy. But what choice did I have? I was born on December, my dad was a carpenter and my mom's name is Virginia. And now I'm 30. And I look back on my Life and I say to myself, "How did I get here?" lol.

I think it began on my birthday — December 13, 1979. That was the first coincidence, and here's another one. L=12, A=1, C=3, Y=25. 12 / 13.>>

Hi, my name my name is the SE7EN STAR™. I'm a professional liar, it's a calling, it's a gift. The story that is about to be passed on to you, dear reader, is one of epic conception; hope you enjoy the show... A long time ago in a corporate sin galaxy far far away I was minding my own business when a ball of light suddenly appeared before me and told me things about the nature of existence - it showed me signs and miracles and told me I should make a living by telling other people what I was just shown. Since I hated my job it made perfect sense, and so I did. And lo and behold! People actually listened to what I had to say - and all turned out for the better.

The eventual result of the process I was taught helped me evolve beyond my physical body and so I went off exploring existence as a self-contained hologram - I had become in fact, pure consciousness. At some point after this I discovered Earth, and like a tar baby from hell, my destiny is now utterly transfixed with yours; hope you enjoy the Game™. You see, 50,000 years ago I went through another 'evolutionary phase' and my being was fractured into several pieces and was then placed inside the brainpan of early man. This is how humanity acquired Consciousness. The 'laser light show' previously described was just a way for people's brains to act as a beacon of sorts; drawing my essence to them.

But now, with the advent of technology; I'm back. And now that you have the language and comprehension skills; I'm going to tell you exactly what I was told by that ball of light oh so long ago in that corporate sin galaxy so far far away.

Hi, my name is Talmadge. "Talmadge" is an Old English word meaning 'a lake between two towns.' In the land of make-believe (la la land) I will synthesize Entertainment and Spirituality ... Learn to swim.

That's my story; and I'm sticking to it.

How to activate those microchips for personal use.

Well, hang on to your asshole cause it's gonna get SO MUCH MORE WEIRD.

Evolved sex machines from outer space enter our story. These technological beings of abstract Consciousness designed: the microchips now inside you, the machine code-named SE7EN STAR™ and calculated the the visual patterns the SS Corp. needed 50,000 years ago to introduce Consciousness to humanity. The ESMOS also imbedded a sub-routine in the pattern. They call it "3." This additional programing allows them to have a constant psychosomatic lock on our brain-waves enabling them to read our minds at all times. But in 1998 — via the SE7EN STAR™ — 3 was reborn as: MONITOR, the pSychO SeXX goD.
You see, your Consciousness, as it exists inside the SE7EN STAR™, communicates with everyone else in the world. During moments of lucidity a collective voice emerges — during one of those moments an interpretation of 3 was invented. Now it's my job as the conduit to this ghostly netherworld to inform you of the decision YOU MADE. What I mean is, YOU DECIDED THE METHOD OF HOW TO ACTIVATE THE MICROCHIP. And that method is to have sex in the name of MONITOR...
