BEHOLD!
Peer into the infinite void and glimpse THAT-WHICH-IS-BEYOND.
Timeless and ineffable is the art, and many are the blessings for those who HODL.

Blackmail is naturally worse than the transgressions being blackmailed over. The blackmailer makes an instrument of sin and creates circumstances for its proliferation.
Obviously this issue exists most prominently (so far as we know) in the Catholic Church & they struggle with the same issue-- trying to police it more strengthens the leverage of the blackmail chain, but being "lax" just means accepting that abuse is ongoing.
@butt_watermelon That being said, the ride through the occult is very much an object lesson in โthe man who persists in his folly becomes wise.โ So while I canโt wholeheartedly recommend it, nor am I able to fervently discourage it. Some people are called to walk rocky paths ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@butt_watermelon The occult currents Iโve witnessed have either been outright syncretic with or tacitly accepting of Christianity; the particulars can be debated, but core seed is irrefutable.
Gaze into the darkness long enough, and youโll eff the implication hidden behind โLet there be light.โ
Few things are as enlightening about a personโs character as what they choose to countersignal, and much is to be said about the (lack of) quality of a personโs fiercest critics.

Be careful of whom you dunk upon lest it betray your own errors.

@sneedvlad I donโt get it: why single out @0x49fa98 ? The physiognomy of his derivative HPL reference pseudonymstifles his energy, but that error is so ubiquitous as to be barely worth noting; more importantly, his interesting to cringe ratio is positive ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ข๐ข
My true passion lies in making images. I find old media to cut up and make collages. It's a part of my dialectical & spiritual foundation to transform trash into something of beauty, and meaning. I sometimes hope that one might see in my work what I see in a Remedios Varo piece.
@jonnysocialism@petercoffin Cities are literally evil (see Babylon); however, this is best resolved through decentralization, and fostering of local level food+amenity production.
Malthusian impulse is occasionally misguided, but is more frequently a betrayal of the proponentโs spiritual ill health.
