I do not know much, but I know this: Arthur Koestler made me do it. It is fitting for it was all his fault that I knew that I wasn't the only to view the world differently. Others told me this too but none told it in the profound sense which Koestler told it.
"Don't let them see your weirdness." - TGRR
Hell is other people he says before he ventures out on Black Friday, joining the hordes of others dressed to kill and be killed downtown there in little Oslo. Still raining with the sounds of clicketyclack everywhere to hear. On their ways, christmas parties for the employees, chopping sprees amongst the bestsellers of paperback and nice price dvds. They report that there has never been sold this many COMPLEAT FRIENDS packages, bundled up in HDREADY for your HDREADY screen you bought with the bonus because you don't want to miss out on anything, like watching the forecast every night and watching the news saying it's important to pay attention, it's important to know what's going on in the world. This is where I roll my eyes and don't even start the discussion unless I'm drunk enough.
One of the secrets of the world, which I must admit I didn't learn from Mr. Koestler but rather from Mr. Crowley is that everything shares the same system. It is in this way that magic is true, it is in this way that one can do changes. A form of illumination one reaches when having pondered on "the penetrator will be the penetrated" for long enough, seeing an ex-alcoholic filling her tumbler with water, adding ice cubes and and a little slice of lime and understanding that the world will end and there are only comic book characters that will remain to sit on the outskirts of some city, watching it burn while chugging a bottle of champagne from the earlier parts of the last century. The world will end. If the shatterer of worlds has a sense of humor, it will indeed happen sometime around christmas. No other holidays will suffice for none other brings out the madness so inherent in each of us.
Everything shares the same system. Everything works within standard parametres. Understanding and knowledge in our society is set with a limit. I personally believe it is the same thing as "a hole in our soul" but it is what registers as civillization or barbary, depending if you like chocolate or vanilla. These are also part of the same system, the same idiot machine with the traditional tugs and cogs.
Magicians say that the war between heaven and hell is a metaphorical one, it's happening inside our own minds and intuitions. See them as an equation, see them as The Architect and The Oracle within the Matrix. See the discussion in the bar, behind the pizza counter, by the burger flipping stands in McDonald's or the place up the street that makes the buns for Pizza Hut.
1 & 0. The two types of people in the world. Every answer can be broken down into Yes and No. 1001 - 2 = 7. Seven seconds away, seven soldiers. 7 is the new 5. 25 is the new 23 and the brain is the new pineal gland. Something in the law changes and if the changes are accepted and popularized, the law is overwritten and the law becomes the law for another generation where one of the clever small dodos will figure out that it was once 5, 23 and pineal gland. He'll then perhaps change it to 69, A and Anus if he's inventive. Yet, does this make the significance, the meaning to change or is it cosmetic?
In 2008, Arnold Schwarzenegger will become the president of the USA. The last solar solar cycle of the last century will begin to fade. Time will begin to seem unreal, glitches first with memories bleeding from one creature to another. No toilets will work in the entire world, all is water and shit and piss watering mother earth. Action is called for, the old propaganda machines set anew in motion, Jehovahs witnesses are no longer alone with predicting the end of the world but they see merely the answer, their faith broken down in 1s and 0s, Yes or No and for them, the world will not end, the skin will grow back.
For others, it will be different. But the end of the world is coming when the truth will still stay hidden but everything will reach an anticlimax and much will be unravelled. Those who dream of terrorism will become true terrorists, those who dream of freedom will become true freedom fighters and those who dream of other things will become other things. But most of the time, nothing will change in the bigger picture for the big picture is always slow, always on three wheels down a bumpy road.
Then perhaps, some day you'll get to think about Jesus Christ. Perhaps you're sober, perhaps you're gathered with your friends, your family, your food, your presents but you'll see him hanging there and you'll understand his desire to become a plastic fruit preserved in plastic like small lemons and peppers and pineapples in the kebab stands and you'll think of him as you run to the new ground zero, downtown Oslo strapped with a homemade neutron bomb, straight from the anarchist's cookbook and there's cops chasing you but they're fat, too many donuts and too much pizza and too many blowjobs and too little fucking and there's terror in every man and womans eyes but not the children, the children smile with glee and hope in their eyes that you'll be able to pull this off and you get some floors between you and the cops and you get up and out on the roof and you set it up and make it failsafe, smiling as the countdown hits the five seconds mark

Do you not love dwarf-audrey?
Is that a dwarf?
It looks liek one of those creepy little kids that americans put into beauty pagents. The kind that end up looking like tiny little miniature sluts and I feel like I have to rinse my eyes out with bleach for just seeing the little bastards.

It's just the resizing that makes it look so fucked up.
