AS ABOVE SO BELOW

Mortality Mechanics' ManualThe Secret of The Thrice-Greatest Hermes (the three parts of the wisdom — alchemy, astrology, and theurgy — is a text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial No-Thing and its diverse transmutations, passed down to humankind through an entity described as a combination of the Greek messenger of the gods, Hermes, and the Egyptian god Thoth, who guided souls to the afterlife.)

It was revealed in a letter written by the Greek philosopher and teacher, Aristotle to his student, Alexander the Great, who perceived himself as god-like, and yet remained mortal.  Aristotle, hoping to pass his own investigation into the Mystery of Mysteries to his student, related this story of his adventures:

“Here is that which the priest Sagijus of Nabulus has dictated concerning the entrance
of Balinas into the hidden chamber…  
After my entrance into the chamber I came up to an old man sitting on a golden throne.  He was holding an emerald tablet in one hand.

And behold the following, engraved in Cyriac, the primordial language of Cyrus The Great, was written thereon:  It contains an accurate commentary that cannot be doubted.  It states:

“What is the above is from the below and the below is from the above. The work of Wonders is from The One.”

— from the book MORTALITY MECHANICS MANUAL, by Lawrence R. Spencer

WAITS BREAKS LUCE

Here’s a Tom Waits video featuring Margrite-esque imagery and anti-Luce-ian-Time Magazine-style-war-mayhem-chaos-bankster-commercialism. For me it’s an instant-classic Waits-bash of the Apocalyptic post-American Dream. Whatever it means for you is what is means for you. Only Tom knows for sure, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t give a shit about opinions in general. Selling albums and doing your art is all anyone usually needs or wants.
