The Ontological Status of Conspiracy Theory by Hakim Bey

[napoleon_in_rags]

2. Reading Hakim Bey is for me, like going through some old boxes in the attic...

...and finding yourself buried in the bottom of one of them.

DAMN!

Memories coming back. There's something SO golden here, so powerful, that if even a few people could really embrace it they could absolutely change the world.

Its NOT the philosophy. Its not the AUDACITY of the philosophy. Its the state of being hiding behind all that. This is a guy who knows at some level that he's divine, he's part of the fabric, he's part of the grand plan in whatever he does, so it really doesn't matter what he does. That enables him to truly act.

Paradoxically we are forced (on pain of utter negation) to act as if we freely choose to act, and as if action can bring about change.

And through this knowledge alone can you become detached from outcomes, and act perfectly.

The brick and mortar political lesson isn't to be audacious in going after what we believe from our hearts is best for people, but rather to seek the state within ourselves where that audacity comes naturally. Its within us all.

PEace!
