I get home late to find that the front door key to the apartment building just won’t work. The key goes into the cylinder. I turn the key and the cylinder turns with it. And I’m stuck outside. This has already happened once before, about a month ago. Buzzing the super’s apartment led nowhere. Buzzing [...]

Just One Of Those Things
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, everyday forteana, everyday life, late night, magick, mis-education vs. raw learning, pointing at The Big Something, psychology on May 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m in high school and I’m in speech class. I’m supposed to give my five minute speech on a historical figure today, only, uncharacteristically for me, I have arrived utterly unprepared. My procrastination binge the night before ended in a procrastination overdose straight into a deep, albeit short, night’s sleep.
So I’m up this [...]
Gas and Prostitutes

Drinking a ginger ale at an old-man bar with my friend Z, he says:
“I’m walking through the neighborhood the other night, and there are a bunch of cops hanging out across the street from a nightclub. And I overhear one of the shorter cops standing in the middle of the group say, ‘You know, [...]
A Circle of Protection for Britney

Kudos to Ty Brown at Dreamsend for this great essay. It’s nice to see someone has come around to seeing in this Britney Spears spectacle as the kind of destructive magic I’ve been noticing. (Not that I really needed anyone else to see it to intuit the dark truth I’ve noticed, but [...]

Anything You Can Do With Hypnosis…
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, but NOT The Big Something, everyday life, hypnosis, magick, psychology on November 24, 2007 | 4 Comments »
“Anything you can do with hypnosis, you can do without it,” says the Affable Trickster.
After he gives the class this ungussied wisdom, he launches into a story about a boxer he works with, a contender.
See, he arrived with this young pugilist before a big fight at Atlantic City or somewhere.
The story was already out and [...]
Replace Habit with Ritual
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, everyday life, gratitude, magick, pointing at The Big Something, positive aphoristics, pro-peace/pro-people, spirituality on October 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Habit is mechanical, blind, sleeping action. It feels like it’s from you, but it ain’t. You may have put it there, but it’s not you. It’s a compulsion: a desire of your monkeys, the nafs, those processes that you’ve imprinted or programmed within yourself that operate apart from you as if they had a mind [...]
The Initiatic Mystery of The Pick Up Artist

I’m almost whole disconnected from the realities spun by TV, though the realities weaved by the spider’s web of internet often catch me in their snares, so pleasing they are to the monkey’s of comfortable habit that lie within me. Nevertheless, I have found myself flipping through the channels recently now that I’ve moved [...]

Knowing the script of Spectacular Reality many in the United States are living through now, the little boys of the 80’s may have learned what to expect and even what parts to play from watching the cartoon programming on TV. Specifically, I’m referring to the 80’s cartoon version of G.I. Joe and its [...]

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 [...]
