re. a biography of crowley to see his influences---at times, he claimed to be a reincarnation of (or have memories of being) eliphas levi, who was a prolific occult writer; might be worth looking into. john symond's biography of crowley (the great beast) didn't provide much useful insight to his influences; mostly him meeting a person/group and what ideas they introduced him to, and not so much about what he read.

‌You should not fall into nihilism‌; instead, you can reflect on the nature of illusion and reality to avoid it.

I've modded a 360 half a year ago. A really nice console with soo many good games! (Live laugh love bioshock) The only thing that really bothers me is the battery on the controllers getting into the way of my fingers

Is Ben Drowned on your creepypasta backlog? One of my favorites from back in the day because of the multi-year development as it was also an ARG. https://jadusable.withinhubris.com/Ben_Drowned

i might end up re-reading it but i didn't include it in this archive because i consider it more of an ARG than a creepypasta

I had no idea Ben Drowned was an ARG. I always knew it as a creepypasta when I was a kid. Perhaps The creepypasta of my time. Interesting

Late stage capitalism is a persona for the illicit trades that exist as a shadow within the collective unconsciousness. Therefore, a large portion of "modernized" society suffers from a paraphilic disorder where violence against the vulnerable has been fetishized in various ways. Still working towards the depth psychology necessary to heal.

It seems that the Capitalistic structure converts people into commodities by making them conform to one type of person because it's easier to control, either through "conversion" or "fear". Its the choice of adapt or die. Feels like has been seen in similar events in the past and not-so-distant past, where goal is to culturally maim and remove diversity and individualism so as to enact power overall more efficiently.

@ranfren - Insightful. That process of commodification applies to seemingly intangible "goods" as well, such as ideas with revolutionary potential. Good example: https://letslearntogether.yorniq.xyz/scispirit/Misc/comlove01.html

It is interesting to note how conformity is often induced throughout society (e.g.: operant conditioning within schools and workplaces, information warfare through mass media "news", etc.)...and the "circuses" that supposedly act as a counterpoint to that "bread" (e.g.: "hyperpalatable" fast/junk foods, video game lootboxes and the other gambling mechanics of "behavioral game design", etc.).

The convergence of conscious persona and unconscious shadow aspects is probably easiest to detect through association (e.g.: pornography industry<->sex trafficking, pharmaceutical industry<->illegal drug smuggling, arms industry<->genocide, etc.). These latter examples in particular give a flavor of the type of thing that I was referring to.
