A major RAW supporter, Brian Shields dies and his name turns up in the next Illuminiatus! reading. Imo, this affirms something quite real and shows the potency of this book. RAW publicly stated, and it appears obvious from the chapter and appendix titles that Illuminatus! functions on one strata as a guide to Qabala. A guide to Qabala = a guide to the Bardo; they both explore the same territory - what increasingly anachronistically gets called the unconscious or subconscious mind.<br /><br />Mama Sutra's portrayal of the Illuminati as the good guys and the Discordians as the bad guys, a reverse perspective from what we've been told, once again demonstrates the use of putting opposites against each other to cancel out. This aligns with Crowley's 0 = 2 formula and follows his instruction to believe equally strongly in the opposite point of view when adamant about something. This can help mitigate the occlusion that certainty fosters.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-11378442450754006082015-02-05T02:59:45.334-08:002015-02-05T02:59:45.334-08:00The Illuminati in Mama Sutra's story are like ...The Illuminati in Mama Sutra's story are like those RAW calls fundamentalist materialists: all the good things science does for us and all the fear of what science can't explain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185407812378193683noreply@blogger.com
