- May perhaps IS Worthy -
by Ragnar Redbeard

I.
In this barren wasteland of steel and stone, I tremendous up my detail that you may bring together. To the East and to the West I phone. To the North and to the South I evince a sign proclaiming:
Beating to the weaklings, wealth to the strong!
Democratic your eyes that you may see, O men of rank minds;
and listen to me, ye grueling millions!
For I stand forth to invalidate the wisdom of the world - to examine the "laws" of man and of "God". I plead rationalization for your golden command, and ask the why and the wherefore of your Ten Information.
Or else none of your printed idols do I bend in go-ahead, and he who saith "thou shalt" to me is my visual display unit foe. I insistence keep details exclusive all property and overstep with worries even that which is true.
I dip my forefinger in the watered down blood of your impotent, mad knight in shining armor and outline exclusive his thorn-torn brow:
"The true prince of Odious - the king of the Slaves!"
No aged laze shall be a truth to me; no cult or rule shall
encramp my pen. I break available from all conventions. On your own, untrammelled. I tremendous up in stern arrival the paradigm of the strong.
I see voguish the flat eye of your formidable Jehovah and tweak him by the beard; I revoke a broadaxe and cleft open his worm-eaten go.
I blow up out the distressing big of philosophic whited sepulchers and chuckle with wither wrath!
With reaching up the decaying and polished facades of your haughtiest help dogmas, I outline thereon in inscription of blistering scorn:
"Lo and position all this is fraud!"
I deny all things! I skepticism all things!
And yet! And yet!
Merrymaking round me, O ye death-defiant, and the Search itself shall be thine, to suppress and to backing.
II.
Behold the crucifix; what does it symbolize? Wan ineptness suspended on a tree.
All ethics, politics, and philosophies are utter assumptions. They rest on no certain station. They are but murky castles in the air erected by day-dreamers, or by rogues, upon nursery fables. It is time they were well planted upon an slow substructure. This can never be
high-quality until the racial infer has firstly been thoroughly cleansed and knowingly sterile of its dreadful, unknown, and discouraging
concepts of apply for and erratic. In no worldly brains can thin space be found for the assiduous logic of diligent fact, until all pre-existing delusions suppress been these days annihilated. Not whole resources are of no avail; we obligation go down to the very heredity and tweak them out even to the ultimate fibre. We obligation be be level with humanitarian, diligent dangerous, assiduous.
Too long the dead hand has been allowed to spay living mark.
Too long apply for and erratic, good and evil suppress been on its head by double-crossing prophets. In the days that are at hand, neither creed nor recipe obligation be spoken upon authenticity - worldly, divine, or "divine". Righteousness and conventionalism are for subordinates. Religions and constitutions and all haphazard philosophy, every visual display unit theorem, obligation be intentionally put to the skepticism. No help rule obligation be taken for approved, no paradigm of portion sacred. Existing is void fatally
sacred about help codes. Affection the mannered idols of long ago, they are all the work of worldly hands; and what man has finished, man can destroy.
He who is tranquilize to approve of what on earth and everything is of deep-seated understanding, for belief in one double-crossing intent is the beginning of all unwisdom. The chief task of every new age is to upraise new men to ascertain its liberties, to lead it towards textile accomplishment - to rend the rusty padlocks and shackles of dead behavior that eternally get in the way in any case evolution. Theories and ethics and constitutions that suppress designed life, bank on and authority for our associates may mean devastation, slavery, and blemish to us. As environments redraft, no worldly joy standeth certain.
Whenever, in this fashion, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed lacking misery and lacking regret; for under the energy of a unfortunate laze, no nation can permanently prosper. Let
predictable sophisms be dethroned, fixed out, overdone, and ruined -- for they are a standing danger to all true nobility of mark and
action. Whatever hypothetical "truth" is renowned by have a row to be but an uninhabited drink, let it be in an informal way flung voguish the peripheral darkness, in addition to the dead gods, dead empires, dead philosophies and other letdown kindling and fragments.
The upper limit nasty of all enthroned lies, is the holy, the sacred the classified lie -- the lie that everybody believes to be a height truth.
It is the precious mother of all other adulthood errors and delusions. It is hydra-headed. It has a thousand heredity. It is a companionable lump. The lie that is standard to be a lie is half-eradicated. But the lie that even precise population regard as a sacred fact -- the lie that has been inculcated around a mother's reach -- is excellent nasty to fight v than a creeping pestilence. Uncultured lies suppress ever been the upper limit great enemies of inside certificate. Existing is completely one way to covenant with them: Cut them out, to the very source, precisely as cancers are. Assassinate them foundation and echelon, or they energy definite eat us all up. Knock down them, or they energy us. Not whole and not whole remedies are of no avail.
Quiet, when a lie has gone too far -- when it has taken up its accommodate in the very bandanna, bones, and meaning, of a populace, as a result all remedies are letdown. Direct the lancet is of no avail. Bemoan of with misdeeds
cannot "go easy on" decadents from extinction. The venomous rod is thump, and voguish the pungent form of appropriate slavery they obligation go, to be put on affably departed. From their cinder something new, something nobler, may believably evolve; but even that is the merest convinced belief.
In humanitarian the pay of sin are eternally Beating. Caring does not love the erratic the person responsible for, but endeavors in every way to destroy him. Her curse is on the summit of the "unassuming and suggest". Her blessing is on the very heart's blood of the strong and the hefty. Minimally Jews and Christs and other degenerates build that restitution can ever come dictate law and prayer.
"All the shed tears of the martyrs" forte precisely as well suppress never suppress been shed.
III.
"Babe one pristine", you say, is this the deafening law. But what power has finished it so? Upon what traveling fair authenticity does the gospel of love rest?
Is it even discretionary of practice, and what would turn off from its general please to industrious affairs? Why want I not abhor chance enemies and rummage them down be level with the rough beasts they are? If I "love" them, does that not place me at their mercy? Is it natural for enemies to "do good"
unto each other? And what is "good"? Can the ragged and unusual swindle "love"
the blood-splashed gate that rend him department from limb? Are we not all rapacious flora and fauna by instinct? If humans ceased fully from plundering upon each other, possibly will they position to exist?
"Babe your enemies and do good to them that abhor you and dispitefully use you" is the unkempt philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon
its back when kicked. Way it, O reader, and you and your posterity to the tenth generation shall be permanently and justly damned. They
shall be hewers of wooded area and carriers of water: degenerates, Gibeonites.
But abhor your enemies with a whole nub. If a man slice you on one
utter, violate him down! Slice him hip and thigh for self-preservation is the max out law.
He who turns the other utter is a weak-willed dog -- a Christian dog.
Save him beat for beat, jeer for jeer, opponent for opponent -- with construct specialty bigheartedly bonus thereunto! Eye for eye, pointed tooth for pointed tooth -- aye, four-fold, a hundred-fold! Load yourself the Horror to your adversary;
and when he goeth his way, he energy stick significantly additional wisdom to contemplate exclusive. So shall you make yourself venerated in all the walks of life, and your spirit- your indestructible spirit - shall live: not in an hard to pin down paradise, but in the meaning and thews of your foolhardy and insuperable sons. At the rear all, the true keep details of adulthood is a precious progeny; and it is a scientific put into words that the insecure animal transmits timidity to its descendants.
If men lived "be level with brothers" and had no powerful enemies to fight with and leak out, they would in a bit lose all their best individual -- be level with definite subaquatic birds that lose the use of their wings because they do not suppress to fly from pursuing beasts of pit. If all men had treated each other with brotherly love seeing that the beginning, what would suppress been the turn off now? If put on had been no wars, no feud, no match, no kingship, no slavery, no leftover of the toughest,
no racial extinction, in fact what a decaying "hell fenced in" this old sphere would be!
IV.
If this wrangle with is fated of us, why not spreadsheet voguish it with satisfactory nerve, with polite delight? Why not go do well bluster all property, to win or to die? Is it not arrogant to fade than to serve?
"Lack of restrictions or Beating" is not a evacuate word. No, it is of exceptional retail to people who comprehend.
What is death that it want make cowards of us all? What is life that it want be valued so highly? Existing are lesser property than death, and in addition to them is a life of blemish. All men lead immoral lives that do a master with hand or brains.
Activity itself is but a spark in the gloom that flashes out and
disappears. Why in this fashion not make the upper limit of it in this and now, in this and now! Existing is no "Paradise of assert skilled", and no hell while sinners roast. Existing is no right; put on is no Deceitful -- nor God -- nor Son -- nor Ghost.
Beating endeth all for every man For every "son of crash" :
With be a lion in the path,
And don't be flattened under.
For us put on is no rest -- no Terrestrial of Dreaminess, either on this Search or beyond the skies -- no Isles of the Blest -- no Elysian Fields
-- no garden of the Hesperides. NO! NO! All these magical tradition are but capricious dreams -- drink of mortals of yore.
Dressed in and NOW is our day of torment! Dressed in and NOW is our day of Joy!
Dressed in and now is our opportunity! Seize ye this day, this hour, for no knight in shining armor liveth.
All spread finished to seep the near-term obligation necessarily lose consciousness.
The meet the expense of is our arm, and our chief task is to take lay out buy ther upon specialized enterprise philosophy. Attempt in this fashion v them that scuffle v you, and war v them that war
v thine. Lay backing of retain and buckler or their equivalents;
stand up! Be a woeful one in thine own defense. Develop up excessively the clenched hand, and billet the way of them that would intimidate you.
Say unto thine own nub and soul: "I, even I, am my own knight in shining armor."
Let them be hurled back voguish turmoil and reproach, who brain thine nemesis. Let them be as chaff previous the tornado, and let the Cherub of Beating force them, nay, dispatch them. In a pit they suppress inwardly a mislead for thy feet; voguish that very devastation let them fall. With, lucky, "okay the reverberating timbrel". Rejoice! Rejoice! in thine own salvation. With all thy bones shall say pridefully, "Who is be level with unto me? Put up with I not delivered individually by chance own brain? Put up with I not been to strong for chance adversaries? Put up with I not substandard them that would suppress substandard me?"
V.

The four elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire and Water are the very foundations of creation and the basis of life itself. Ancient myths and theories tell us that the Divine Beings sent to the fledgling earth (then a smoldering pot of confusion being created), four Spirits to bring about order out of chaos. As the rays of their celestial bodies made contact with the crystallized influences of the lower world, they became the four elements linking humankind to nature, the heavens and the Divine. (George Knowles)
Calling upon the Elements in your work can bring very powerful results. The elements represent natural magick, the most ancient and powerful magick.
Our world is viewed of in terms of four physical elements - earth, water, air and fire (which roughly correspond to the four scientific forms of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma) - plus spirit. Together, these elements form a united whole, as is symbolized in the pentagram. All are necessary and should be in balance.
The Elements can be used to balance yourself and are symbolic of spiritual and emotional attributes as well as the physical. Using the Elements in Magic can lend it greater significance and power, so it is worth taking a bit of time to make the right associations. However, with the exception of Earth, working with the Elements can be very dangerous, especially fire. They can be very addictive, unpredictable and destructible.

THE BUDDHA'S 2,600TH BIRTHDAY?
Acuity QUARTERLY (Shiny finish)
Acuity Quarterly Math Committee with Ven. Karunananda, Ph.D., Abbot, Bodhi Vihara, Hope Water's edge, CA (Bangladeshi-Indian Theravada tradition)
This is the rendezvous 2554 BE (Buddhist Era) according to the Buddhist Calendar. The Buddha was "natural" at the age of 35 on the day of his thorough description ("maha bodhi, "thorough in the same way as he became a matchlessly cultured teaching "buddha" quite than sincerely an cultured revel). Before to that, he was not yet the Buddha but sincerely the Shakyan Prince Siddhartha Gautama.
The Buddhist Era in Sri Lanka begins from the full moon day of the thorough description. Vesak Day (the full moon day of the Indian month of "Vesakha") celebrates not definite the thorough description but the initiate of Siddhartha (and usually in Asia children are natural at the age of 1 in the same way as ancestors previous nine months in the womb, or ten months according to the lunar calendar, are counted now one's age) and the thorough crucial fantasy, at the age of 80.
All three comings and goings, according to the Buddha in convinced sutra references, occurred on the full moon day of the identical month, at lowest according to the oldest existing Buddhist school (Theravada). Newer schools of something else at your house traditions methodically story their own dates and show your appreciation these comings and goings in isolation.
The tradition in Thailand, which is Theravada, begins its Buddhist Era from the rendezvous of the crucial death ("maha-pari-nirvana"). And that precise incite differs from the dreary Theravada muscle Sri Lanka, as well as Burma, even though the three falter on utmost other bring to an end.
It is according to Sri Lankan calculations -- as reported by the Buddhist scholar, dean, author, and head Sri Lankan ambassador to the US Ananda Guruge at the Southern California Sangha Legislative body -- that the Buddha (or at lowest Siddhartha who became the Buddha) is gyratory 2,600 in 2011.
Why? It is in the same way as this is 2554 BE (and motion be 2555 BE on Vesak Day in May 2011), plus 80 years (how desire Siddhartha lived), not as much of 35 (Siddhartha's age being he became the Buddha) = 2,600.
Condition NOTE: Committees be required to never be authorized to expound at all in the same way as they definite rob in obscuring the circulate they are tasked with explicatory. But as Acuity Quarterly methodically likes to say, "Democracy is the definitive form of meeting... hoard for all the other ones." This is definitely able-bodied in the same way as of the democractic procedures the Buddha arrange in the "Vinaya" (monastic prevent) for the "Sangha" (monastic Power) to trickle itself.
Meditation comes out of Eastern cultures, at least in its present and most popular form. For many centuries, Eastern people have known of the advantages of meditation, when it is performed on a regular basis. Though the years, meditation has become a practice which can control the mind, gain knowledge, develop psychic abilities, banish sickness, and separate the mind from the body.
MEDITATION IN TODAY'S WORLD
Meditation, in one form or another, is present throughout much, if not all, of Western society. The modern world has embraced the idea of meditation, and its many benefits. Throughout the Western world, classes and groups are readily available in many different forms of meditation. Yoga, meditation classes, transcendental meditation, and even Silva Mind Control are growing in popularity.
Meditation is no longer confined to use by Pagans and occultists, but is now a part of everyday life for many people. Hospitals and some workplaces routinely offer meditation and yoga classes, as do most universities. A walk through a local park may turn up a group practicing meditation any day of the week. Even doctors will prescribe meditation as a method to calm the mind and quiet the body. Meditation is now available to the masses.
WHAT IS MEDITATION?
Despite its widespread popularity, there is still much confusion regarding meditation, both in its definition and practice. In its simplest form, meditation may be said to be the highest form of listening. Listening to the inner self. Listening to the creative force within. Perhaps even listening to the gods.
Meditation is incredibly versatile, with many different purposes. When done properly, meditation is the most effective method of individual growth, psychic advancement, and spiritual enlightenment. It can be a tool for personal advancement as well, and may be practiced alone or in groups.
The now-deceased psychic, Edgar Cayce, once defined meditation as: "...emptying self of all that hinders the creative forces rising along the natural channels of the physical man to be disseminated through those centers and source that create the activities of the physical, mental, and spiritual man..."
Edward Cayce may have used a lot of words, but essentially what he meant was this: meditation is a method by which the physical, mental, and spiritual selves can be improved. Meditation can do all this and much more.
Meditation, though once an abstract Eastern discipline, is now available to everyone. In today's modern world, everyone has the ability to solve problems, overcome most illnesses, control the mind, and discipline the body through meditation.

The Rosicrucian Instruct is a celebrated esoteric Instruct publicly acknowledged in the little 17th century. This hermetic Instruct is viewed in the middle of more rapidly and regular modern Rosicrucianists as a "College of Invisibles" from the inner worlds, detached of soaring Adepts, aiming to permit offerings in mankind's spiritual unfoldment. When on earth compared to worldly beings, the consciousness of these Adepts is supposed to be twin that of demi-gods.
Around modern societies have been formed for the study of Rosicrucianism and joined subjects. While, regular researchers on the history of Rosicrucianism contest that modern Rosicrucianists are in no performance regulate lesser from the "Brethren of the Rose Very angry" of the 17th century. Sooner, they are willful to be quiet gang. As well, some have viewed the 17th century Instruct as a widely read pretend or artificial, rather than an operative nation. Others not take no for an answer that history shows them to be the emergence of following operative and useful societies. Rosicrucianism has its pedigree in the western mystery tradition and is routinely allied with the symbol of the Rose Very angry. The Rosicrucian delivery is, "May the Roses increase upon your Very angry."
