Inconcluso

Llevo en mi sangre el calor del sur,
fuego, sal, danza y pasión.
Llevo en mi sangre el frío del norte,
agua, ambrosía, canto y afición.

Llevo en mi sangre el despertar de oriente,
brisa, silencio, honor.
Llevo en mi sangre el andar de occidente,
arcilla, astucia, convicción.

Llevo en mi sangre una estela brillante,
un corte seco, un acto ciego,
un astro ardiente, un golpe a hierro,
un peso ingente,
vivo dolor.

Llevo en mi sangre pura violencia,
cataratas,
erupciones,
terremotos,
huracanes.

La fuerza de un universo
primitivo
cuyo primer estallido
aún resuena...

Un eco discontínuo:
aullidos, alaridos,
cornadas, rujidos,
estruendos quebradizos...

Tiempo al tiempo
en el espacio
infinito.

OUROBOROS

Native American Ouroboros

Showing itself primarily in ancient Gnostic texts, the Ouroboros is any image of a snake, worm, serpent, or dragon biting its own tail. Generally taking on a circular form, the symbol is representative of many broad concepts. Time, life continuity, completion, the repetition of history, the self-sufficiency of nature, and the rebirth of the earth can all be seen within the circular boundaries of the Ouroboros.
Societies from throughout history have shaped the Ouroboros to fit their own beliefs and purposes. The image has been seen in ancient Egypt, Japan, India, utilized in Greek alchemic texts, European woodcuts, Native American Indian tribes, and even by the Aztecs. It has, at times, been directly associated to such varying symbols as the Roman god Janus, the Chinese Ying Yang, and the Biblical serpent of the garden of Eden. Even The X-Files' Dana Scully chose the Ouroboros to be tattooed on her back because she felt it represented the progression of her life. It seems that the Ouroboros is a powerful archetypal symbol, a part of our Spiritus Mundi, the collective unconscious which thrives within each and every human being regardless of race or culture.

Dreaming Lucid Dreaming

"Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, flittering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a
butterfly ...suddenly I awoke...
Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether
I am now a butterfly
dreaming I am a man."
Chuang-tzu

Intelligence

"It's hard for me to imagine that the sun is an intelligent organism, unless it exists on a scale that's fairly hard to relate to. In other words, I can imagine the Pacific Ocean to be intelligent, but its intelligence would be of such a nature that it and I probably wouldn't have much to do with each other. Meanwhile, out in the universe, somewhere, entities exist which we do contact in the psychedelic experience. I'm never sure if they're creatures of other levels or simply of other places. If other places, they seem to be so far away that the laws of physics are so different that it's not like the difference between Chicago and Memphis, but like the difference between Chicago and Oz."

Terence McKenna

La serpiente

We’re going to kiss the snake on the tongue. Kiss the serpent. But if it senses fear, it’ll eat us instantly. But if we kiss it without fear, it’ll take us through the garden, through the gate, to the other side. Ride the snake… until the end of time.”

Life Vs Status Quo

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge Interviewed by Technoccult Part 2: Pandrogeny

(Last question of the interview. To see the whole interview click here.)

Looking back on your life, can you think of an example of a time that you changed your mind about something? That there was something that was significant to you that, you know, that you completely changed your opinion about?
Yes. When we began Throbbing Gristle we were, we being me, really angry about the inequities of society. Especially being from Britain, with the royal family and aristocracy and the really ingrained class system. Enraged by the inequity and the bigotry and the inherited privilege whether people have the skills or the qualities to exercise it.
So my approach to expressing the anger was very aggressive and enraged, furious. But over the years we’ve come to believe that there’s never a need for anger in order to demonstrate or propose change. That a friendly, seductive presentation is just as effective, if not more so. And also in a way it’s more insidious and subversive to smile and talk gently and still say something that contradicts everything somebody else has imagined to be the truth. It can be far more disturbing than screaming at them because we ought to learn how to deal with anger and screaming and defend ourselves from that. It’s really hard to accept confidence and know how to respond to it. It’s usually embarrassing. And so subtlety, instead of head-on collision, with the status quo.
But make no mistake, the status quo is always our enemy.
