wolven7A Perfect Circle - [Thinking of You]--- I'm almost tired of fighting. Almost. I fight to teach people things, I fight to learn things, I fight to remember things that no one else remembers, and I fight to remember properly what everyone wants me to forget.
I fight to not be [unduly] arrogant, I fight to have my way, I fight to destroy that which would hinder me, and I fight to embrace it.
Now I fight to study what I want to study. I'm bloody and sore.
People think Thelema is about a life without limitations. People think that's what Magic[k/gfaohsre3qasfe] is about, as a whole. (Hutt - [Hole in My Soul]). Magic is programming. Hacking. Magic is knowledge of systems and limitations and Redefining them, because that's what we do. We place limits on ourselves, so that we may grow past them. There will always be more limitations, if only embodied by the need to grow past limitations, or the ability to sit and be limited.
Crowley, Freud, Jung. (Mirrormask - [A New Life]). They were all obviously (to me) working toward/with the same understanding, of symbols as imposing the limits whereby we live our lives. The differences being that Freud thought we were controlled By them, Crowley thought we could completely control them, and Jung thought they were there to be subjugated, there to serve the conscious mind.
Carmina Burana - [Tanz]--- And I think they were all half right. But that doesn't change the fact that they were staring the same zeitgeist right in the face. It's like when three people hit on the same theory, in three parts of the world, in the same year, having never talked to each other. The time is just right, and the information collects in the right way.
Moxy Früvous - [Horseshoes]--- And bam. Psychology of religion in theory and practice.
But I have to fight for it. Because it makes perfect sense, in here. So much sense it's scary clear. But when i go to talk about it... The words jumble. The understanding muddles, from my brain to anyone else's. So I fight for it, with myself, to make the words come, because I'm not ready to ask nicely.
Bobgoblin - [Safe]--- Now I'm going to go finish watching "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" and then clean up a bit.
Ta.
