Logic prevails. Work happens NOW.
Dec. 8th, 2005 09:34 pmGorillaz - [Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head (featuring Dennis Hopper)]--- Welcome.
28-33 new pages to write by Monday. Two different things, so, not Quite so bad. Add to that, however, the fact of the fourteen pages to revise/rewrite, and... there we are.
Here's a taste:
Electric Hellfire Club - [Where Violence Is Golden...]--- Magick (specifically speaking of Crowley's, here) is psychoanalysis. You are working, within yourself, to find the sources of problems, understanding levels of knowledge, factors that "dictate" your actions, and to control and mould them, using that new knowledge to your will. Both Freud and Crowley were interested in the degenerative power of repression and self-restriction, for the sake of what they thought of as an inherently unnatural societal construct. However, everything is inherently unnatural, in the realm of humanity. We build things, we process, we do not simply act. Except that we do.
We have acted, then, to the best of our ability, and that action has propelled us forward into this construct. We are following the lines of cause and effect-- subconscious and conscious memories of that which came before-- that have led us to this place. We are human, and we are, at basis, biological creatures, though we are subject to the whims of our sub-/conscious processes. (Corvus Corax - [Tanzwut]). "Between God and the Devil, there is always music." We are the products of our circumstances, in which we have come to have the ability to think about our situations, and create, or find explanations of them. Some of those explanations involve gods and demons, and the voices of angels, singing us books in the desert. Some of those explanations involve madnesses, delusions, and schizophrenias, in an attempt to reconcile a seemingly meaningless life with an over-arching quest to understand this feeling of being special. Some of them involve seeing the gods, voices, and explanations as explanations, and useful tools for self-discovery. These do not have to be different explanations.
Voltaire - [Ringo No Uta]--- Crowley and Freud both sought to rid the world of guilt, repression, sin, and any sense of unworthiness, on the part of the human actor. (Tori Amos - [Bells for Her]). These plans were cast in a wildly different light, by the two practitioners, and both failed, in a variety of ways. But both of these therapeutic schools were born of the same over-arching desire to help people achieve a kind of freedom, from the sense of unknown forces, controlling their actions.

Kind of sad that the easiest way for me to get work done, is by talking on this showcase, about it, eh?
I'm off to finish up, some more. Später , meine Freunde.
