Fragment: 8

It is time to understand the connection of consciousness, and religion, or more accurately with the gods. C.G. Jung noted that the "Old gods hild the consciousness of primitive men in thrall". My paraphrase. To understand the nature of the gods, we must also understand the nature of the gods, we must also understand the nature of consciousness. Consciousness is based on a duality. That a fragment of the mind can self-reflect on the contents of the mind. This is why the Neoplatonists hid that the One cannot be conscious, because it would make the One a duality. This is of course, not an issue that present day monotheists bother with, such it the arrogance of the present day. To understand consciousness it is useful to borrow a term from alchemy: The homunculus. The homunculus is the little man in the head.The director of conscious activity. Sometimes the homunculus goes under the name of conscience. The homunculus is a nexus of emotions and information that becomes identified with the "I" or the "self". The homunculus is the I, or the ego of the conscious subject. The duality that allows humans to both self-reflect, and direct psychic resources to a long term project. Therefore it enjoys the apex position in consciousness. The homunculus approves some some emotions and responses, while disapproving other emotions and activities that hinder or get in the way of the goal. Thus acting as a self-restraining mechanism, as well as a director. It seems this activity of being a homunculus was the original meaning and function of a god. In classical Egypt the definition of a god was originally wide enough to include deceased ancestors, as well as the classical gods. In other words ancestor worship is a form of imitation. It was only through this predictable and standardized activity that civilization could be built. Maybe, this is why all the ancient cultures believed their culture a gift of the gods. It should be obvious that no society can come about if the members do not check their emotions and emotional responses. We notice in ancient societies every profession had a patron god. This is how ancient societies could bind knowledge without writhing. The god of the activity is invoked. The rituals contain the information and emotions needed to carry out the desired activity. A simple example would be a god of the hunt. A ceremonial dance being the ritual. The dance is imitative of a real hunt, the physical activity of the dance would bring forth the memory of hunting in those that had been on previous hunts, and would prepare those that had previous hunts of the activity required for a successful hunt. Thus the god of the hunt is invoked by the hunting party. And so with all the gods, if one wanted to be a scribe there was Thoth, and embalmer Anubis, etc. The god becomes the homunculus of the person, thus directing the mental and emotional responses needed to carry out the desired activity. The gods exist both in the minds of men , and in the cultural artifacts societies produce. Examples of artifacts would be temples, art, writings, etc. The gods are also memes that can travel from person to person, or culture to culture. War-gods usually travel well. Everyone wants to be successful in war. This is why the chaos Magos Peter J. Carroll said: "Gods and men make each other, in each others image." To sum up a god is a nexus of information and emotion, that becomes the director of conscious activity in humans. Approving the activities and emotions that lead to the desired goal, and disapproving those that do not. As we know all to well from history and personal experience the director (homunculus) is often overwhelmed by contrary emotions, this is when a person is said "lose control." It was Akhenaten that first got eh idea (probably in a dream) that all humans could be unified under the dominion of one god: Aten. Akhenaten's experiment failed, but that has not stopped people throughout history of trying the same experiment. Even though it always fails. The activity that Aten is the patron of is the law of non-contradiction, the universalizing of thought and activity. The problem is Aten like all machines has to be set up. To be able to tell the difference between non-being and being. And the definition of Being is always a presupposition base on the geographic, intellectual, and emotional environment of a people. As I have said: Aten is like a giant threshing machine, always cutting away what is set a Being from what is set as non-Being or illusion. As I have noted in previous "Fragments" there is always a book or writings that tells how to set Aten. Examples would be the Bible, the Quran, Or Marxist writings. These writings the cutting blades of Aten, to what is acceptable, and what is unacceptable. And tose persons or doctrines that are not acceptable are cut away. This is why all monotheism result in dualism. Islam is usually regarded as the most uncompromising monotheism, and so is the most violent in what is cut away as false. The punishment of apostasy is death in Islam. Condemning Islam to perpetual violence. This is why Progressives always think they are in sole possession of Truth. Even though their Utopia always fails. And it is the reason that monotheism always turns in of itself. The many sects of Christianity, an Islam are good examples. The reason being that Aten's promise of a One is whether in theory (philosophic systems), or practice (political Utopia) is a lie. The is no perfect One in society or metaphysics. The trouble is all the failures have not resulted in people giving up on a perfect One. Instead each failure leads to a search for someone to blame. This can result in a reformation, but usually results in more cults, or persecution of a blamed group. Progressives blame everyone but themselves and their ideology for their failures, Islam blames unbelievers and those they think are not carrying out the orthodox faith, etc. All the sects believe they are in possession of absolute truth. This is the reason for all the violence in Islam, and why Progressives more and more oppressive as they gain power. Instead of realizing that their goal is a lie, they seek someone to blame. The solution is to give up monotheism, and not to try to fix it. Next "Fragment" I shall discuss how Aten can be bound and used only for his original purpose. By a Necromancer

Fragment: 7

Last "Fragment" I said I was going to show how Aten operates in practice, and where he resides, but I have decided that is too much information for one Fragment. So instead I shall present a very brief and broad overview of Aten in practice. In future Fragments on these subjects shall be examined in more detail. The aim of this Fragment is a brief overview. As I said in previous Fragments, Aten is the law of non-contradiction. Aten is a disjunctive syllogism. To use Parmenides as an example: There is either something or nothing. There is not nothing. Therefore there is something.' That something is of course pure Being. It is only when we get to Bohme, and Hegel that it is understood there is no end to the working out of the syllogism that is the essence of Aten. Aten is a constant cutting machine separating Being from non-Being. Bohme's infinite self-realization, or Hegel's circular system that is always in the process of becoming is the very essence of Aten. There is no rest in Aten, maybe that is why he is often called the living god., but more accurately he should be called the machine god. Aten is like a perpetual motion machine the cutting blades that separate Being from non-Being never rest. The reason is that Aten's promise of unification into a One is a lie. Whether it is metaphysical, epistemological, or political. Let me now turn to the main Cults of Aten active in the modern world. I shall take a brief look at Christianity, Islam, and Progressivism. Like all machines Aten must be set, on where to make the cut between Being and non-Being. In Christianity the setting is taken from the New Testament, of the Bible. In Islam the Quran, and Progressives have several books, the writings of Engels and Marx seem to form the main canon, with other writings of Marxism. In other words Marxism is the belief of the Progressives. Now lets us look how this always leads to dualism no matter how much they try to claim strict monotheism. There is always an enlightened group that is fighting ignorance, delusion, and lies: in other words those that oppose the so called enlightened group. In Christianity this translates into those who have accepted the faith, and those who have not, and so on with the other two Cults. Islam makes this distinction very explicit in the two Houses that divide the world. The House of Submission (Islam) and the House of War, those who have not submitted to Islam. The current Progressive paradigm is between the Globalists (Progressives), and Nationalists (those that oppose them). This is why all three Cults always refer to the group they oppose as not knowing what is real, and believing in lies. The opposed group always represents the non-Being that must be cut away and disposed of for pure Being to rule supreme. It must be admitted that the Cults differ in their methods and violence in cutting away of the opposing group (non-Being). Christianity usually tries to convert the opposed group through the use of missionaries and charitable organizations, but has resorted to violence in the past. Islam is one of the most violent and aggressive of the Cults of Aten. Islam also tries peaceful conversion, but has no qualms about resorting to violence, and humiliation of the opposed group which the Cult refers to as "Kuffirs" generally translated as "Infidels". Jihad or holy war is a sacrament in Islam assuring its practitioners entrance into paradise. This is of course to be expected in a Cult that is named for submission. For Islam submission is the goal, not freedom or peace. Progressives also quick to resort to violence, even though they claim to be peace loving. In the 20th century Communism killed one hundred million people to bring about its Utopia. It is debatable which is the most violent Islam, or Progressives? While Islam holds the record for any Cult in murdering non-believers, Progressives has managed to kill an astounding number of people in a short time. It must be noted while each Cult has a history of violence the violence runs in cycles. All the Cults are capable of peaceful periods, but never maintain them. In particular Islam and Progressivism both have the potential to turn violent without warning. It should be easy to understand why; the believer in both groups think they are going to bring about perfection or pure Being. In the case of Progressives this is the Utopian goal of One universal society. Again we see how Aten (the law of non-contradiction) always leads to a One. Aten always promises unification, whether in metaphysics the One, in epistemology a universal science (universal mathesis in the words of the enlightenment), or in politics the idea of Utopia. In all the groups the bringing about of their fantasized perfection excuses all the violence they commit. The falsity and illusion must be cut away and destroyed, for Aten to have perfect rule. As I have said, unlike Parmenides there is no real end to the cutting. This can also be clearly seen even if there is not an opposing group. The cutting blades of Aten are turned inward on the supposed favored group.This is why monotheistic religions are always Cults within Cults. By picking certain aspects emphasize in setting the cutting blades these groups start eating their own. In Christianity we see the division of Catholic and Protestant which in turn are made up of smaller Cults. Each thinking they have the true message of Aten. In Islam again the two major divisions of Shia and Sunni which again are composed of smaller Cults. this of course leads to the perpetual violence Islam is plagued with, since the punishment of apostasy is death. Once an Islamic group is claimed to be in heresy it is the duty of the true believers to kill them. And the history of Progressive movements is filled with killing of those that have fallen away or become counter-revolutionary. In the modern U.S.A. it is easy to observe how quick Progressives are to condemn anyone who steps out of line. This is why when Progressives take power it always produces paranoid societies. Where people are scared to talk or think different than the ruling Progressive platform. Progressives are always quick to punish non conformity. Next Fragment I shall look at psychology and the gods to understand where Aten and the other gods exist and exercise power over humans. a Necromancer
