Halloween Special - Grab the Devil by the tail.
    #13413741 - 10/31/10 10:04 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

Yup that's right, grab the devil by the tail and spank the fucker, really hard. Then once your done spanking it, give the devil some free candy and love so it won't be all insecure about its self (I was going to say like a "bitch" but I was scarred of offending all the pretty ladies out there). This may seem like an arbitrary idea, so let me explain what I mean by spanking Satan on the ass.

Our dreams in life are the little exit routes we can take to escape the mundane and simple life that our society expects of us. Like Terence Mckenna once said - we are treated as "things" - as consumers, labourers, employees etc. We no longer have time for our little dreams in life and that’s why we are sick and unhealthy as a species, especially in terms of our potential as human beings. I sort of see where my degree will take me in life. I will be stuck in some office with all the enthusiasm sucked out of my soul, as some jaded, cynical 40 year old. I don't want to become that! I’m not insinuating that no one should pursue a degree, a trade, a career or whatever. I will paraphrase from Hugh Macleods book - it's better to not drop your career for some heroic mission to realise your dream. You will be bitterly disappointed otherwise. It's better to work your dream in whatever spare time you have - It said something along those lines anyway.

The only escape route from this artificial and soulless society that we inhabit is by pursuing your dreams, no matter how little they are! That's why some of the great timeless artists in history dosed up on physcedelics, it helped them channel their dreams. Some physcedelics are a gift from nature such as the psilocybin mushroom. The mushroom will be at your aid but only under one condition! Never sell your soul to the devil (this is metaphorically speaking of course). You will have to bargain with the devil to keep your soul but always stay genuine otherwise you will become another soulless mongoloid along with the millions of others that slowly drift along this lonely planet. I love this fucking quote from Hugh Macleods book and it sort of reminds me of a devil and an angel quarrelling on either side of my shoulders:

“The tense duality will always play center stage. It will never be transcended.”

You see the devil plays with your ego and your ego is who you think you are and what you think you will become. It is the dark side of your soul because all it wants is recognition and acceptance in order to avoid insecurity. If it doesn't retrieve this, it will only become dissatisfied. This is where hate, depression and anger will pursue. However if the ego receives the recognition without the genuine aspect of the soul then that's when this shit gets really dangerous. This is when a fevered ego emerges, just turn your television on for a few minutes to witness one. The ego is the shadow of your being. It does not exist! This is one of the arbitrary paradoxes in the universe and yes it is a contradiction. The devil is only your shadow, it does not exist, so there is nothing to be afraid of. However you can never run from your own shadow, it will always be there by your side. Let me give an example:

Jenny may be very passionate about photographing little kittens or whatever, so that is the genuine aspect of her soul. Her ego however sees this passion as a way of gaining recognition, money, becoming famous, respected, a big deal - this is the devil tempting her. Well she has a choice - she could either bargain with the devil to keep her genuine passion of photographing kittens - she will have a great sense of sovereignty over her work so it will become timeless - or she could sell her soul to the devil only for the recognition her ego so badly desires. If she sells her soul, mediocrity will prevail, her desire for power will only overcome her passion. Eventually her awareness as a genuine being will slowly fade and her 15 minutes of fame will be forgotten. The devil gets its due eventually. Don't worry about Jenny though, she is just a figment of my imagination.

So in conclusion, grab the devil by its tail and take control of your destiny, bargain with it, caress it, spank it. Use the devil to your own advantage. It's not going anywhere, so why not have fun with it? Just never give in to its cunning tricks, it can be very tempting at times, sometimes you think it has vanished, or defeated, you are very wrong! It will always be there, just don't ever sell your soul to the devil, always remain genuine! How do you remain genuine? - by being aware that the devil is your lonely shadow.

"All I'm trying to do, folks, is rid the world of all these fevered egos that are tainting our collective unconscious and making us pay a higher psychic price than we can imagine." - Bill Hicks 1961 - 1994

Sound health can be found in this anarchistic and philosophical holiday.

It was the last day of the year for the Celts, who imagined the universe began in darkness and nothingness. In many countries it is a time to visit cemeteries as this time of year was, and apparently still is, thought to bring our world and the world of the dead in closer contact. It is a holiday where hundreds of millions of adults engage in virile debauchery while playing with and taunting death-symbols. It is a time of harvest, the fields and trees shedding the last colors they weakly hang onto before winter devours the landscape with greys and browns, rain and snow or drought... This is the day children get their revenge upon a world in which they are powerless and oppressed.

If you listen to the Bothy Band song I've attached and the Danny Elfman song at the link below,
view the photos and
read some of the literature I've linked to by Poe and Shakespeare,
I think you'll find yourself initiated in the secrets and meditative fabric of Halloween.
