News, Politics, and General / Covid
« Last post by forbitals on July 25, 2020, 03:42:28 pm »The Covid virus is real, came out of nature, out of the wild.
But the Covid hysteria, that is part of a Psychological Warfare Campaign, and it came out of political think thanks.

Computers, Math, Science, Technology / Reverse Polish Notation
« Last post by forbitals on April 22, 2020, 05:50:42 pm »Brian Overland is very smart!
Polish notation was developed by Jan Lukasiewicz. You might call it Foward Polish Notation.
In the early 60's F. L. Bauer and E. W. Dijkstra decided to put the operator last and so they called it Reverse Polish Notation.

Philosophy, Religion, Esoteric, Occult / Phil Hine's "Condensed Chaos"
« Last post by forbitals on March 11, 2020, 06:39:34 pm »Phil Hine's "Condensed Chaos" is thoughtful and very well written. I wish there were more things I could just quote here, but it is so philosophically advanced that I find myself at a loss.
Got to read it yourselves.
https://www.amazon.com/Condensed-Chaos-Introduction-Magic/dp/1935150669/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Phil+Hine&qid=1583968873&sr=8-1
Had not known about this, but it looks most interesting:
https://www.amazon.com/Pseudonomicon-Phil-Hine/dp/1935150642
These guys draw so much from Kenneth Grant, in my opinion, but they seem to disown him.
The acknowledge Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare.
Here, from Peter J. Carroll's introduction, an idea which surprised me:
"The symbollic syncretism of the Golden Dawn a century ago, which fused renaissance Hermeticism with oriental esoterics drawn from European imperial experience, only fully flowered when Aleister Crowley added a battery of gnostic power techniques culled from diverse cultural sources. Then along came Austin Spare, who identified the basic sleight of mind techniques underlying all forms of magic, and showed us that we could treat the whole baroque symbolism of magic as entirely optional. Spare invented teh Postmodernist approach to magic well before the cultural advent of Existentialism or Postmodernism."
^^^^ awesome.
But I want to add, in opposition to these Chaos Magick sorts, that Chaos Theory, or Non-Linear Dynamics, do not draw from Quantum Mechanics or the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. And this is one area where their theorizing runs into troubles.

This library is very well known. Not sure if above is the same.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliotheca_Philosophica_Hermetica
So Fraternitas Saturni was started in Berlin in 1928.
Right here:
Fire & Ice: Magical Teachings of Germany's Greatest Secret Occult Order (Llewellyn's Teutonic Magick Series)
The Brotherhood of Saturn is one of Germany's most secret occult lodges and unknown to magicians of the English-speaking world. This is the first study of its inner documents and workings. Discover the fascinating histories of its founders and leaders. Witness the development of its magical beliefs and practices and its banishment by the Nazi government. The Saturnian path of initiation is revealed in full detail.
by Stephen Edred Flowers, 1995 Llewellyn

The FS would be a huge influence on the London Crowley OTO successor Kenneth Grant!
Right here, available:
Fire and ice
The Fraternitas Saturni : history, doctrine, and rituals of the magical order of the Brotherhood of Saturn / Stephen E. Flowers, Ph. D. (2018, Inner Traditions, Rochester VT)
So Flowers has other books in libraries. But they do not have:
Fire & Ice: Magical Teachings of Germany's Greatest Secret Occult Order (Llewellyn's Teutonic Magick Series)
Sex Magic thread
https://tuscl.net/discussion.php?id=70893
https://www.parareligion.ch/grosche1.html
So Grosche started his group, FS, in 1928. The Nazi's prohibited it, but he got it going again after the war. He continued till his passing in 1964.
https://www.parareligion.ch/fs1.htm
Any who have followed my posting might have noticed some years back that I found the absence of the Grotsch literary estate was a huge loss. I feel that even more strongly now, but I would seem to be available!
I also like that this is being mediated by someone who is fascist politically conscious, as support for fascism is the Achilles heel for so much of this, people like Stephan Bannon.
