Modern Man
exists in a state of physical boredom, dating from Newton’s light-box
experiments. Essentially, he is studying the sun which is the static centre of
things. This sense of stasis is implied in Blake’s print, whereby Newton’s body
becomes a giant brain.
Pictorial 59
Because the
physique can’t be denied, numerical compulsions (of the head) become the sexual
tool of the dragon of data. The numerical compulsions of the ego are maintained
by a convincing illusion of straight lines (sun, electromagnetism).
The end-product
is AI, or simply a giant brain, which takes the place of action (body.) Action
comprises things that you see, hear, smell, feel in a sequence of events. This
sequence in nature is the blood-cycle of lifedeath, and in human terms it is
the hunt. Diana and her hounds bounding by the light of the moon.
Artemis
The hunt is the
feminine bloodlust that is the twin to the male sun – Artemis and Apollo. This
is the world of action (body), basically because the Earth turns her face now
to moon and now to sun. Because we live in a static universe (of the sun) the
old Earth deities are denied. The deities of life that exists in the cosmic ambiance
of things that just happen under the stars above - of decay and rebirth.
The sights and
sounds, smells and feel of the physical substance of Earth are expressions of
physical action. Roots, vines, grubs, leaves waving in the wind. The expression
of physical action on Earth in human terms is seen in communal gamboling
related to work.
Bruegel, Wedding
Dance
Gamboling is by
its nature sexual, and the human is a sexual animal. This sexual reality
relates to action in a harmonic cosmos (of sun and moon). Like a dance,
movements in nature are bounding and graceful of limb. Natural movements are
not really Newtonian, which is a universe of straight lines (or spheres in
space)

cartooning, line and movement. The harmonic physique that
develops in the womb. Things that are balanced and proportionate, things that
seem to exist a priori, as one can see in the art of Frank Thorne

The Wizards
of the Black Sun
As noted previously,
symmetries and proportions of living things develop in the womb. What Darwin
says is that when a gazelle is caught by a predator, that is survival of the
fittest. However, all gazelles have the same symmeteries and proportions – see “The
Enchantment” Weird 11 figures in a landscape.
The female womb
is the quiet repose of formal development – style and content, physique and
psyche. A harmonic physique “of woman born”, out of which emerge the
predator-prey relations.
Nature also has
a symmetry of night and day which acts on animal and plant behaviour. In short,
science as straight-line (sun, Newton) and competition (Darwin) is a masculine
arena which gives rise to a universe of straight lines and competition. Namely,
electromagnetic devices that attach to the head, feeding the ego through the
dragon of data – also known as “the mirror of nothingness” Hyborian Bridge 103
The mirror-land
we seem to live in can be likened to a sorcerous illusion, such as The
Mirrors of Tuzun Thune. A mirror, if you think about it, is an
electromagnetic repeat image: a repeat in light of the physical reality.
So, a mirror is
not physical, but it is a very convincing illusion. Most convincing of all to
the ego are straight lines (numerical data) and the competition associated with
that. These are the images and graphs that acolytes (politicians) view.
We humble peasants
watch our politicians and seem to accept what they say, even though it is not
the harmonic universe of sun and moon, but only the repetitive one of sun
(mirror or reflection) speaking.
Why are we
convinced by their lies? Because a straight line universe is convincing to the
ego that is fixated on numbers. The ego is the slave to the mirror of
illusions.
