Chaos magic

Adorno was 100% right about the occult but, as a practice literary or countercultural, hell, even to see human connection, to produce something, it’s cool! This lecture by Grant Morrison sums it up as a practice to experiment, fair warning, it is aggressively 2000s and fantastically weird, but the energy is palpable, wacky as some of the concepts see to be.

true belief

i've been wrestling with this idea for a little while let me know if you have any insight i'm fascinated by the idea of true belief. i want it, i admire it, i respect it. i also think it is scary and it can cause so much damage. lately i've been thinking how everything we see we process through our own perception, so all of reality is subjective. we can interact with nothing as it is, but only as we are. if you think about synchronicity too, all meaning projected onto the world becomes valid and true. everything exists only to confirm what you're experiencing. if you believe the phase of the moon being the same at two points in time holds meaning, it does because it's just another part of your mental map. but when it comes to religion and politics it can be so destructive. i wasn't raised with religion but i have always felt myself drawn towards it. i am at the same time very critical of it, especially how the human aspect of organized religion tends to be used for control, but i truly admire true belief. but seeing the results of it, like the persecution of trans people in american politics, is scary and sends me back to the critical mindset. but there's still some appeal i can't shake. what if there were a geocentrist today? someone who worked a normal job, went about an ordinary life, they just happened to believe the earth was at the center of the universe. that's kind of a beautiful thing. if you only draw conclusions from your own experience, of course the earth is at the center. everything seems to orbit around it. and there's still a purity in believing only in what you have found for yourself. the world would live only in their mind, and each world created by each person is all the more precious for being unique and reflective of its individual. i'm just rambling at this point, but what do you guys think? true belief: yes or no?

Explaining your unorthodox religious views to someone

They’re probably more orthodox but it usually goes like this: “Oh hey Mariano! Do you have any religious beliefs?” “Yeah, I guess similar to Tom Holland’s approach, my morals and ethics are traditionally found in Christian orthodoxy, but in a social justice + advocating for the poor + gender equality sort of view.” “Oh so…not like American evangelical?” “No more like a Bonhoeffer’s “smoke a pack of cigs a day and participate in assassination attempts towards fascist leaders” type of Christianity.” “…oh…” Anyways — the whole theologian / spy to help an assassination attempt on Hitler and being put in a concentration camp with his only request being cigs to smoke and fighting against injustice type of Christianity > whatever we’re seeing from the RNC right now. Some would say this is very “unchristian” and “very progressive” and they’d be wrong and uneducated.
