There has always been this internal and external tension surrounding work. The aim for all of us "should" (yes i am now the god of what we should and shouldnt do), be towards a trade enhanced economic foundation based on individual self sustainability. Meaning as far as basic survival supplies people can look after themselves, and then for everything on top of this people can specialise individually or collectively in luxuries (luxuries meaning anything superfluous to survival). The problem with this is it kind of requires everyone to have their own land. This isnt on the cards as far as im aware (haha the cards get it).
Anyway im not sure anymore what the previous paragraph ive written, or the one i was intending to write next, have to do with what im trying to say so lets just forget them shall we? Anyway. I suppose this is a bit stream of consciousness. These are unorganised thoughts, this is not to say they are disorganised, just that they are yet to be organised. Ill leave that up to the people who read this. Hehehehe.
The point? Well I think where i was going was that id rather be working and getting paid arguably excessive amounts to read tarot and help people, than to work for a company like coke/maccas/bhp/nike/rio tinto/xstrata/calvin klein - you know what i mean - and get paid excessive amounts of money. But then again, ideally, i would prefer to work for a respectable & ethical company and get paid a rewarding amount of money, and be able to help people with my occult and non occult practices for free.
But then again just the other night - I had a dream, a dream that all neophytes were created free and equal. I dont know. There is something equally valid to be said about ignorance/naievity as well as self reighteousness. I think this, and you think this, and we both categorise averything as good and evil, and one of is is bound to come off second best depending on how many fools we can convince to lend us the weight of their public support. Youve got a bomb and ive got a bigger one, now you do, and now i do again.
Power constantly surges. It is a surge. Directing power in no way means you are powerful. It just means power is powerful. Power is everywhere. You are not the bomb, you just drop it. The bomb isnt even powerful. It only works once and it destroys itself. The power of consciousness lies in the will. It lies in the restraint of force, not in the expulsion of it. There is never more power or less power, except in its proportions in relation to space. This in itself is a paradox. For space is infinite. As is power. It is time and space that give the illusion of power, and the definition of eachother. The paradox is reinforced because the illusion is always perceivable, and rarely escapeable. So the illusion of power lives in us, in conciousness. Power is both created and contreolled by consciousness. The more you have the less you use. There is proof in this here.
Well well well who was that I wonder. I ceratainly didnt type that. Anyway id suggest that as in all matters occult writing is the biggest money spinner. Whether you like the ciceros or the craigs or the whoever they arents, thats where they make their money. Books. There is a real shortage and a huge demand for "authentic" occult fiction. The demand is so huge, and the supply so short I dont even think you would have to be very good to make a few bucks. Look at Clive Barker (this is a joke Clive im sorry). In fact thats what im going to do write now (excuse the cleverly inserted literary device). Ill have to come up with a good Nom de Pun (and another one im on a roll).
I think ive written enough for now.
