“The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.” ― C.G. Jung.

MTO:

“To Jung, the psyche is analogous to the concept of the soul, which is an entity in of itself. Jung argued that thoughts and emotions, although such feelings may seem like our own, are entities of themselves…‘From my experience with unconscious phenomena I must even admit that what we call thoughts or emotions could be in a way independent psychic agencies of which we perceive only their psychological aspect, but not their potential physical nature’”

The nature of Genius is quite akin to the nature of the Fool. In the outer environment, people of their time perceive this being as deviant and morbid, sometimes even showing a benevolent attitude towards him, trying with all their might to help this being and bring him under the wing of the mother mediocrity. But the nature of Genius is like a storm, predictable but undoubtedly unstoppable.

Furthermore, who is the most powerful court figure? Is it the pompous king, or the pouting Queen? Who has the power to tell everything directly into everyone´s face, whether true or false and stay alive? When a kingdom falls, the only person that is left to live is the court Fool. Moreover, he will surely keep his role as a Fool at the court of a new King. The Fool is alive only because of his foolishness, and the crazier, more insolent, and more reckless things he says, the more he will be rewarded. The Fool know all the secrets of the court, everyone trusts him, because the Fool takes nobody´s side. Furthermore, no one thinks that the Fool will abuse that trust for personal gain because he has no personality. He is mad. Everyone confides in him for everyone is sure the Fool is too stupid to take any advantages from it. The Fool knows evrything as everyone thinks that the Fool knows nothing. Because one who knows he is stupid is in much more lead than those who just think they are smart. Hence the Fools is Genius. His job is to be mad, to be nothing else than what he is, and we can only roam in the shadows of our thoughts to search for his true aim.

Definition of madness. Occasional changes in people´s behaviour which are deployed randomly enogh in what we call civilization. It creates a pattern that ratio defines as abnormal or beyond ordinary, depending on the cultural subgroup. An interruption in the appearance of such a change leads to the perception of the change. Thus, beyond ordinary is that which is inconceivable. Abnormal is that which misunderstood. Sometimes perverse, sometimes lovely, sometimes miraculous, but always based on the intersection of all descriptions, and that is - attractive.

Attraction is the exclusive ability and the monopoly of Will, not as a law but as an intrigue, as mobility of our Ruach to focus on seemingly dead and unimportant things, alwas for only one reason - because it wants it so.

Therefore, madness caught Genius with an infection, divine madness that can be transmitted only by other Genius. This virus of insanity that involves your being at the moment when you think clearly enough about yourself, holding that thought, perhaps not more than a moment. The objective of this infection, the only purpose of this virus is to tear down your immune system to the extent that it cuts all the influence of the Divine on your own soul. This is the time of the viruses, This is their time, and there is nothing we can do about it.

All that can be said about Genius does not deserve more than a few paragraphs of this book. We can say that all, even the negative connotations towards Genius are nothing else than his worshipping. Threfore, jealousy and the worst envy against Genius is the blessing of his appearance, while ignoring him is yet blasphemy of the highest kind. There is no greater sin for society than neglecting a Genius, and we can be sure that nature will sooner or later find ways to sanction society, eve the entire epoch in its ignorance before the appearance of such a divine creation.

The nature of Genius cannot be stereotyped into any particular acts, and as long as such work is of the usual kind, it can equally be so far from a reasonable classification that it may seem to us that Genius is loafing, while in his mind with child´s enthusiasm he deals with trials essential for the survival of the Universe. The phenomenon of Genius cannot be conditioned by its definition and observation in the eyes of the outside world. We can assume how many Geniuses went unnoticed like the fall of autumn leaves behind our back, how many Geniuses realized their courses while the whole world slept. We can believe that Genius is self-sufficient process, and certainly not a mere resultant of the forces.

DNF: to není opak. Jsi-li bez útrap, pak není třeba o tebe (nějak speciálně) pečovat čili jsi v bezpečí.

KALIPH: Tohle se da vykladat ruzne... Rekl bych, ze nejde ani tak o to, ze o tebe v bezpečí nikdo nepečuje. Jde spíš o to, že je tam tak bezpečno, že se můžeš uvolnit a o nic nepečovat.

KALIPH: neni to mozna dost psychedelicke, ale je to presne naopak:

bezpečí =bez péče
nebezpečí = ne bez péče.

Tolik k tomu, co je safe.

omlouvám se za citát Františka Bardona v angličtině, takhle to ke mě přistálo...

"One fairly universal characteristic of the subconscious aspect of human awareness is that it abhors change. It’s always doing its best to maintain the status quo, to keep things exactly as they are, familiar and, in the language of the psyche, “safe”. To the psyche, fa- miliar equals safe and unfamiliar equals danger, so when confronted with an opportunity for intentional self-transformation, the psyche often reacts out of self-preservation and erects whatever barriers to change it can create. When one’s conscious intention is to transform the psyche then these barriers amount to self-sabotage. They are self-defeating in relation to the conscious intention but self-pre- serving in relation to the psyche’s intention.

Most commonly these barriers manifest as an attitude of de- featism – “I can’t do this”, “it’s too hard”, “I’m not good enough”, “it will take forever”, “I don’t have enough time in the day”, “I’m too tired”, etc. In other cases, they manifest in more concrete ways such as misplacing your copy of IIH; staying up too late at night so that in the morning you really are too tired to concentrate; experiencing sud- den muscle cramps, pains or even headaches as soon as you sit down to meditate; and so on. They can even manifest as a certain foggi- ness of comprehension when reading the exercises from IIH, result- ing in a complete or partial misunderstanding of things that you would otherwise have comprehended in an instant!"

Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, as they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humour though, will only get better with age.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
Your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritise your looks my friend,
they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritise the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better."

"Stále znovu jsem byl po léta dotazován, jaké vlastnosti by měl mít žák, který přistupuje k Velkému Dílu. Kromě přirozené inteligence a emocionální stability jsou, podle mého mínění, k úspěchu nezbytné dvě další vlastnosti: vytrvalost a odhodlanost. Zejména vytrvalost nelze nahradit ničím na světě. Samotný talent nic neznamená, nic se nenajde častěji, než neúspěšný člověk s talentem. Samotná genialita nic neznamená, zneuznaní géniové jsou bezmála přísloveční. Samotné vzdělání nic neznamená, svět je plný vzdělaných ztroskotanců. Vytrvalost a odhodlanost jsou však samy o sobě všemocné." (Israel Regardie)

"Persistence Is All" (vnitřní obal desky "Coil - Time Machines")

"Mějme oči rysa, abychom vedli válku se sovami, nezapalujme však lesy pod záminkou, že posvítíme ptákům. Mějme v úctě mystéria stínu, střežíce zároveň pilně světlo své svítilny, a naučme se též zahalovat svoji svítilnu závojem, aby nepřilákala hmyz, jenž v noci rád saje lidskou krev."

Eliphas Lévi

“It is only possible to succeed at second-rate pursuits - like becoming a millionaire or a prime minister, winning a war, seducing beautiful women, flying through the stratosphere or landing on the moon.
First-rate pursuits - involving, as they must, trying to understand what life is about and trying to convey that understanding - inevitably result in a sense of failure. A Napoleon, a Churchill, a Roosevelt can feel themselves to be successful, but never a Socrates, a Pascal, a Blake.

Understanding is forever unattainable. Therein lies the inevitability of failure in embarking upon its quest, which is none the less the only one worthy of serious attention.”

― Malcolm Muggeridge
