We are a colony
"…this is not the product of an alien culture from a nearby star, here to explore our solar system. Instead it is an intelligence which dwells in a different type of reality and moves through hyperspace in such a way as to interreact with us almost as a side-effect. It is an intelligence that [...]
Aliens
"The more I learn of other people’s thoughts the more universally true it seems that each person has another world in him and that no one really belonds to the world as it is. In other words, we are all aliens. None of us belong to this world; it does not belong to us. The [...]
The Shits & The Johnsons
In the metaphysics of science fiction author W.S. Burroughs, there are only two types of people in the world - Shits and Johnsons.
Johnsons mind their own business, and are generous, helpful and kind, with no thought of reward; Shits are infected by an alien virus called the "right virus" which makes them literally incapable [...]

Messages from another dimension
Man, it’s like I have an alien infection burrowing its way out of my brain and setting the inside of my cranium on fire. I almost forgot what this feeling was like. I love it.
Why write about gnosticism? Some people theorize that the brain is like a radio which can tune into different frequencies, different [...]
Rev Max Interview by Tim Boucher
Rev Max (a pseudonym) is the deranged mind behind Enemies.com, the weird art website which first exposed me to gnostic myths and symbols in the late 1990’s. I didn’t actually get really into gnostic thought until several years later, but I always really loved Max’s out-there artistic vision. So I was very excited when earlier [...]
Pavlovs Gods
Reprint of an article originally published in New Dawn Magazine #95, expanded and revised with original illustrations. A fascinating survey of brainwashing and trauma in primitive Christianity, touching upon a number of shocking and exotic themes!
Love in a cold climate
I’m reading a great book right now called On Being a Pagan by a french guy named Alaan de Benoist. Despite the D&D wizard on the cover (marketing?) it actually has turned out to be very dense and intellectually rigorous. The thrust of it is that authoritarian montheism is so deeply rooted in the western [...]
