I didn’t want to write about this stuff again because I’m not sure that it’s helpful. But, as far as I see it, it’s a reality that is going on.
At least Ty Brown is beginning to see this, albeit from his own somewhat different angle.
Britney has been propped up as a representation of a [...]

Standing on the subway at two a.m., I see two movie posters side by side and I begin to sense the unsettling nature of the current zeitgeist. Call them Signs and Signifiers of the Spectacular Times.
I first saw the poster for this movie:
And to it’s right, I saw the poster for this one:
The tag [...]

If you’re even superficially aware of William S. Burroughs, you know of his heroine addicted years and the inside view of the shady side of our Spectacular Culture (the deep political, occult and conspiratorial) which that, coupled with his privileged pedigree and the bizarre accidental shooting of his wife Joan, allowed him. You will [...]

You find yourself at John Jay College on a Saturday. You’re in a classroom filled with elderly white men, a few women, and some young, black teenagers. A man with the build of a retired linebacker gone soft plays three audio-tapes in succession. One is a speech by [...]

I spent 8 hours straight reading the entiretly of the Big Book of Conspiracies, my first acquaintance with Aleister Crowley’s Lam, protype for the bug-eyed “grays” that Whitley Streiber popularized in the mainstream consciousness during the 80’s. The connection between magick and the phenomena commonly linked to U.F.O.s and “extra-terrestrials” was certainly [...]

The mystic, philosopher and probable magickian G.I. Gurdjieff is quite a fascinating person. There are gaps in his known background, including questions about when exactly he was born. And for quite some time there have been intimations that the ostensible Armenian mage was at one time an agent of the czarist intelligence service, [...]

I recently received a new batch of thoughtful comments to an old personal essay I wrote about my own brief encounter with the Fellowship of Friends, a pseudo-Gurdjieffian cult which has spawned a very extensive on-going discussion over at Animam Recro.

A few days ago, this site got looked at by a large marketing concern whose CMO coined the marketese CGM (Consumer Generated Media). This huge company also markets itself as “the global measurement standard in Consumer-Generated Media.” Being in the marketing game, that is, the game of perception-magickians for hire, it’s no surprise to [...]

[Warning: Everything that follows is a spoiler.]
At this moment, quite a few people have written about parallels between 300 and current political situations in the world. Some of these have read the Spartans as the U.S., particularly with the hypnotic reinforcement of platitudes about “honor, justice and freedom” that abound from [...]
