One of the weirdest comment ever left on my site, courtesy of an unknown user, inspired me to write this second feedback.
It’s really funny how predictable was this person’s response to one of my latest articles entitled “A religion for Retards”. Briefly this email explains me that some of the posts in the mentioned article are an insult to all pagans. And ends the whole affair telling me that he do not wish to contact me, “but please keep in mind next time you make a web page to try to separate fact from opinion so as not to post false information or be prepare to consequences” As you may suppose, I was ready to insult him, when I realized there’s really no point. Either this person just didn’t even READ what it was that I wrote, or else they just wanted to bring down the last piece of peace I have.
In any case, the next day, I woke up to find out that there was a complete propaganda-based blog dedicated to accuse me of being a fascist, a psudo-guru and a plagiarist of the work of Guy Debord… What a coincidence! They even say some ningunists are violent, dangerous and fanatic… Thank you Anonymous Internet Police for free this society of such an evil troglodyte. I am, in fact, the root source of all the world’s problems, hunger, racism, war, slavery, you name it!
These problems are not (like others might think) the consequence of mindless fucking automatons like you, who vigorously attack people who present them with new and different views!!!
Seriously though, you know what pisses me off the most about this? It’s not that this person took the time to share their opinion with me. I’m all for open debate, and I’m even happy to let people take personal jabs at me.
But to imagine that you “know” me personally because you’ve been “reading” the few words I publish on the Internet, well that just says something about you doesn’t it? It says that he had rather apply a simple stereotype handed to you by the media or political vampires, than get to know a real and complex person whose beliefs may challenge your own. I wish you the best, and if you ever want to say me something else, I’m ready to know you if you drop such a yellow modus operandi and such a limited approach to life.
You ask me to be more careful next time? How about we make a deal - next time you read through my article, please actually notice that I was coming to the defense of Pagans. Deal? Deal!
Changing the Vibre, an old friend of mine (who used to be called Maharet) share with me one of her works. I think this is Medusa, but I’m not sure. Thank you my Lady!

What would you call beings which (a) don't have physical bodies, (b) seem relatively crafty, (c) can be in several places at once, and (d) at least in theory they're immortal?
Ghosts? Spirits? Gods? Demons? How about corporations?
I went down this quiz because of a question that popped up all the time: what the hell do the “suits” who work at a P.R. firm actually do?
A Public Relations expert, are in the business of creating and feeding Tulpas.
For those of you not so trained in the occult, Tulpa it's a word with roots in Tibetan Buddhism. A Tulpa is, more or less, a thought-form which is projected outwards and takes on some kind of existence in exterior reality.
The funny thing is that Tulpas are supposedly also able to take on a life of their own, outside the original intentions of the originator.
Corporations, A.K.A. “Biggest Motherfucka Tulpas in the West” are in fact, considered "artificial persons." The concept isn't as nutty as it sounds.
From a legal standpoint, corporations can do many of the same things that natural persons do, for example: buy and sell property, hire and fire, sue and be sued, and so on. In 1886 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations are "persons" having the same rights as human beings based on the 14th Amendment.
The joke is that this amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves, and since that day its helping to create a new breed of them via Marketing.
What most people don't know is that after the above-mentioned 1886 decision, artificial persons were held to have exactly the same legal rights as we natural folk.
Although the doctrine of personhood has been weakened since, even now lawyers argue that an attempt to sue a corporation for lying is an unconstitutional infringement on its First Amendment right to free speech.
So… briefly, a P.R. operator has to be able to keep alive this creatures. Regardless of any political or social opinion, Corporations (as an idea) are amazing. They're almost like a lifeform that evolved out of our consciousness with the intention to destroy us all. Some kind of Toxic Karma Monster side-effect of the industrial revolution, that are very different of anything else in creation, say for example, a mountain. It's humans that named the things “mountains”, but they were there already. And it's not like a computer which, although entirely manmade, can be seen and touched. The Corporation represents a living idea which is alive regardless of the people that rule them, those who trade them, even the products they use as an excuse for their existence.
A Corporation only exists because people say it does. You feed monsters like Nike, not only with your money, but also with your attention, in a daily vamp-like routine. All of them have a “vision” of where they want to be in a few years, and a “mission” to do.
The P.R. magicians, use the Lesser key of magic (to create illusions A.K.A. Corporative Image) to make other people be ready to be devoured by these creatures. Creepy isn’t it?
