This is a spinoff topic continued from Ego and Dark Arts Practitioners. (http://forums.abrahadabra.com/showthread.php?p=32507#post32507) I have placed it here because I think that this is a good example of being able to see a more accurate face of Abrahadabra itself, rather than at a personal level, what it is really doing is acting in very specific modes that are visible only at the level of entire ecosystem and in this case, species approaching evolutionary completion as m1thr0s put it -the point at where ego becomes especially important "beyond genetics" finding out who we want to be when all choices are opened up...

there's a lot of new tech coming down the pike. our whole view of science itself is poised for a major overhaul I think...that's going to change a lot of things. It's hard to see it all right now cuz it's moving so fast and seems to be all across the board. If we don't don't blow our asses to pieces we seem to be on the edge of another major surge in technology, and these are building upon themselves hand-over-fist. So the so-called Satanism of today with its not-god approach to self-realization may be the mutational engineering of tomorrow, where breakthroughs in scientific understanding will make deliberate steps towards so-called "godhead" not only possible but actually fairly common...but we will gradually cease to call it "godhead" and begin calling it something else I think. Crowley used the term "completion" as did the eastern sages and also western qaballah. If this "completion" ever becomes a recognized evolutionary criterion, we are off to a whole other kind of "godhead".

150 years may be too soon of course but knowledge builds exponentially so that may not even be all that off the mark...but there's a knee-jerk resistance barrier to be dealt with and the old guard has to be physically retired so this will certainly create unnecessary bloodshed and trauma...as always...


Yes it's very exciting. I think that we won't blow ourselves to pieces, I think the nuclear thing was handled as well as it could have been handled, and things continue to weigh against this, even though we have leaders in smaller countries who do have nuclear capability and the insanity to set one off, I don't think they are nearly as dangerous as they are made out to be.

My guess is that China will become the heir to genetic technology within the next 150 years, and we will certainly see some bloodshed - both natural and manmade - correction, natural - we're merely an extension of this higher natural order, isn't that the whole point? I bet that it will be beautiful, and terrible and humans will survive, they have a very uncanny knack for surviving under the worst conditions and living to not only tell about it but thrive as well - Japan post-Nagasaki is a good example, although Greece and Rome were not, the European Union may yet show us a rebound from the World Wars that devastated their empires.

I like your idea of completion of evolution - as if our evolution too has to meet macro leaps that come around only once in a million years or so, and we're just now seeing this vast change. The world today is incredible compared to the world of a 100 years ago so, yeah, I think that is a good indicator that we're seeing something that has never been seen since the dawn of man.


Now as far as ego goes, will the things that made us human throughout history survive? I think we need to have respect for the human legacy, I see a lot of the enthusiasts of this so-called new human envisioning this androgynous human in robes that lives on nothing but water and protein bars. I'm like please be realistic - I think that we have to have a good image of what track humans are on for this whole thing to be successful. We have to gauge accurately where the trajectory of this collective "human ego" is going before we can fulfill it. I think that it is very very Satanic - humans are selfish by nature - all good without the stupidity I think, and very active and energetic as well as sexual. They're not modelled afer the guy sitting in the cave waiting for his nirvana - if that were so that model would have become the dominant one hundreds of years ago. Yet I still see many Buddhists lagging behind on this one, even though Siddhartha's insights were all very practical and forward moving in themselves. People just have to find out for themselves, masters can only help things along bit by bit. Wow, that just reminded me of childbirth - what we're actually looking at here in regards to the human species is the necessity for a premature caeserean. XD

If this evolution is to happen at this new extreme level, it will be a global inheritance, incorpoating bits and pieces from cultures all over the world, the collective experience of the human species from a million years ago with australopithicus to the present day.

androgyny doesn't strike me as much of an improvement on things. Nature itself rarely adopts such extremes unless there is a very specific need for it...the mechanics of yin & yang have simply been way too successful to suddenly dump it just to satisfy some new-agey head-trip.

but then...people have a lot of really dumb ideas about "celestial" nature in general...always imposing the most ridiculous possible crap on the infinite, as if the infinite took advise from monkeys...

rather I think people are in for more than just a few surprizes about what it is and how it works and most of all...what it takes to keep things interesting. Forever is a very long time and there are a lot of ways to succumb to boredom if you play your cards wrong. Androgyny strikes me as one of them.

"as if the infinite took advise from monkeys..."

lol

I know right?! The first time I heard of this concept was when I was 16 working in a small metaphysical shop near Laurelhurst (some Seattle neighborhood) So both the owners were lesbians and they had a picture of Krsna on the wall and I said "Oh that picture is so cute" and she replied "Yes isn't he wonderful, so androgynous." I didn't say anything at all but that was a really strange idea to me at the time!

I had to think about that one for a few years actually. Strange thing is she also had an altar to Kali - no dragons though, she literally backed into a wall one afternoon when I showed her my lizard pendant.

Sri Aurobindo is worth mentioning here, it may be he was the originator of the idea that humans are evolving towards androgyny- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Aurobindo

His explanations take the Ardhanari literally to mean that individuals shed sexuality and find completion in themselves, yet humans are so far down on the rung of universal consciousness I find it unlikely that intercourse both sexual, scholarly and philisophical will become obsolete since there are so many modulations that can occur and bring us to higher consciousness extermnally I don't see an end to it anytime soon.l It may be humans judge themselvs to be too important when only the Absolute itself is androgynous and even Sri Aurobindo points out that the Absolute manifests contrary natures of itself if it so chooses. And why else would it do so except out of boredom? We're not going to transcend Yin and Yang so easily that is absolutely rediculous except for a few individuals who are just tired of existing.

You see lots of homosexuality and bisexuality in the animal kingdom, but almost never any kind of androgyny unless the species is built for androgyny - viruses and plants, stuff like that, but in an esoteric sense one could argue that the virus is in a completed state only when infesting a host and in the interim is acting as one polarity or another...

One of the learning arenas I feel this whole shift int he evolution is taking us towards is the idea of learning how to be in control of the modulation of sexual currents rather than being controlled by them. Sex is everything to humans (generally speaking) and being able to augment that may be more appealing.

What we need is an entirely new platform to build upon that engages the human spirit in ways it's not doing right now. People really are endlessly bored with life and they engage in very harmful activities to kill their boredom - meth, overeating and blowfish sushi are just some of the eamples of high risk behavior that runs contrary to evolution and indicates a need for something more.

What we need is a way to look at old things through new eyes and engage them with skills not readily available right now but ones that need to be absorbed into human consciousness before it's too late.

We need another word here that effectively defines a state of perfect marriage but does not try to blend genders into one. We see this standard in various cultures...notably the egyptian who always married their gods male & female. Even Ra has his feminine counterpart in the form of Raath...but they are not actually the same being...they are of one Mind in the sense that they constitute a perfect marriage but Ra is still predominantly masculine and Raath feminine.

This may be useful since Ra also happens to be a Star, or represents the governing Intelligence of Sol as depicted by the egyptians. So if human beings are also some form of stars, this standard may very well apply but it is an oversimplification to say that Ra is androgynous...it's a little more complex than that and also a lot more interesting.

Where can I find a reference to Raath?

I picked it up from Budge's work...Gods of the Egyptians, volume I page 328. Budge spells it Rat (curious, year of the rat and all that...) I think I picked up Raath from Crowley probably. Mother of the Gods, so something like Tiamat but more Solar. Full name = Rat-taiut (according to Budge). Well established from the text of Unas, Lady of Heaven, Mistress of Heliopolis, Mother of the Gods etc... consort and wife of Ra...

The TwinStar itself is more like this as well...more like a balanced marriage of Yin & Yang than a common gender per se. Retaining gender distinctions is useful in all kinds of ways...yin rotations, yang rotations, yin inertias, yang inertias, yin flows, yang flows and so on...The staff of Hermes and Ningishzidda as well...the DNA system itself...more a balanced pairing than a common meld...

As is often the case, we could look at the same thing and see different things but the difference in what you see will also impact the difference in what you do. maintaining the yin-yang distinction implies a balancing of opposites...as an actual course of action.

It seems like the bi-polar Twinstar application is more akin to the Androgyne we are talking about here. Definitely food for thought. Where does Jen fit into this, though, it would seem that Jen is the manifest point of commonality between the Tien and the Ti. It would qualify in this sense as androgynous...

that's what I am arguing against Anibis. I am saying that androgeny is a narrowed view of what it actually represents. A proper word does not exist that I know of to explain things in a perfect state of marriage but not identical...not actually fused together at all...not joined at the hip...more like perfect dance partners...more symbiotic than merged.

In the case of the TwinStar this is beautifully represented since one whole rotation of the tetractys yields one pentagram only. It takes two rotations to get the combined total...so genetic individuality is retained at the level of the tetractys itself. In a sense, they come together out of "motivated self-interest"...they fit together...they are stronger together than apart etc...

and who knows...maybe on some level we have a kind of mathematical definition of "love" going on here...one always seems to beckon the other yet the two are unique and complete within themselves...it's a very complex mathematical dynamic...one that could defeat the problem of "boredom" across infinity itself.

holy god I didn't even notice the pentagrams until just now...thanks for the info on Raath, that's very interesting.

there exists a third pentagram via the union of the two and perhaps this one actually is "androgenous"...but again...its very existence lends credence to the idea that its parents are two unique and separate genders...

I was just hoping to draw out discussion on this point is all. I find this a fascinating and challenging topic. I need to stew on it...

I understand...and I've been stewing on it for some years now...
it's a great mystery and profound implications all coming right off of this simple little diagram...

holy god I didn't even notice the pentagrams until just now...thanks for the info on Raath, that's very interesting.yeah...adds a very important dynamic to Ra and also serves to explain why the marrying of godforms was so important to the Egyptians, since the standard is right there in Ra-Raath itself. It then extends to the Ogdoad in Heliopolis and filters down across the entire line of the Pharoahs...

and reappears most unexpectedly at the level of the TwinStar...

I have a very difficult time regarding this as "androgyny"...

It's synergy!

m1thr0s
02-13-2008, 03:14 AM
heterogamy perhaps, since the binding principle is a marriage principle...

but yeah...symbiotic, synergistic...all that stuff. at the level of infinity boredom is a major killer...it's the main reason people might not want to live forever, and as far as I can tell, *people* simply are not capable of this anyway...

but something within people may yet be...yet...if you kill off the element of surprise in existence itself, you may as well call it a wash since nobody is going to want to inhabit that state for very long...

so I think the androgyny argument carries a fatal flaw in this respect. so there you are deep in outer space someplace doing what...screwing yourself to death? It just doesn't make any damn sense...evolution cannot possibly be gravitating towards pointlessness in my view.

certainly the Satanic perspective rejects this idea and this is also why satanists typically couldn't care less about so-called mergence with the tao or any of that. If we intended on becoming vacuous nothingness, why the f*ck have we gone about the whole business of assuming bodies to begin with? It simply doesn't add up. More logical is the notion that embodied coexistence with whole physical universe actually ultimately works and constitutes a standard of existence desirable in the extreme...so much so that life, as a carrier of being...is perfectly willing to wade through any amounts of shit to finally arrive at this.

but it is generally beyond our abilities to say how this works exactly...we can't actually fathom it very clearly as we have nothing to compare it to. Moreover it's a kind of crapshoot either way from our limited vantage point but dissolution, for my money, is simply nothing to get particularly excited about. And we really don't have any real indication that this is what is happening anyway. It's all a dogma born from this whole notion that life is all about suffering and the only way to win is not to play the game.

We don't actually know that and the assertion doesn't make a lick of f*cking sense. It's an extremist assertion that has no real support when you weigh in the entire train of life itself...which...one way or another...appears to be going someplace.

I've sort of favored the idea that life exists so the universe can learn more about itself in order to improve the quality of fucking in outerspace....and to provide contrast...

that's a pretty classical tantric perspective really...existence is pure sexuality etc...
