Potential Vs Reality Quotes

Here's why I'm afraid of life after death: What if there is no nicotine gum? I must have access to my nicotine gum at all times. I kiss with the gum. I sleep with the gum. Anything you can do without the gum I must do with the gum. I am chewing the gum right now. I chew the gum, because I don’t trust the universe to fill me up on its own. I can’t count on the universe to sate my many holes: physical, emotional, spiritual. So I take matters into my own hands. I give myself little “doggy treats” for being alive. Each time I unwrap a new piece of nicotine gum and put it in my mouth (roughly every thirty minutes), I generate a sense of synthetic hope and potentiality. I am self-soothing. I am “being my own mommy.” I am saying, Here you go, my darling. I know life hurts. I know reality is itchy. But open your mouth. A fresh chance at happiness has arrived! I’ve been chewing nicotine gum for twelve years. I haven’t had a cigarette in ten years. So you might say the gum works, except now I have a gum problem. I am so addicted to the gum that I have to order it from special “dealers” in bulk on eBay. I get gum on all the bedding. There are many reasons why I don’t think I will have children, but the necessity of getting off the gum during pregnancy is one of them. When it comes down to anything vs. the gum, I always choose the gum. Now let me just say, before we go any further, that if you’re thinking of using nicotine gum to quit smoking you should not let my experience scare you. I am the addict’s addict. Everything I touch turns to dopamine. I can even turn people into dopamine (ask me how!).

Deification through the process of Apotheosis is a lifelong and ever transforming initiatory experience. The Triad of the Morning Star is a simple concept of how Liberation breaks restrictive chains (often within the mind), Illumination is the inner-ignition of the Black Flame (including the Art of Magick as a rational materialistic and spiritual inner discipline) which reveals the steps to commanding change according to the will. Apotheosis is the insight, wisdom and attained power in which initiation has demonstrated validated results. Some Luciferians practice the ancient art of Magick. While Magick begins in mere thought and basic desire, this art is often hidden by the curtains of myth and fantasy. The reality is that Magick is an everyday tool which is performed slowly in every mundane, willed act towards some goal or desire. The trick to the art is for the Luciferian to recognize this, direct and guide this inner energy towards realistic manifestation over the passing of time itself. This is a clue to what is known as the “Laws of Belial”, the mastery of the earth. This is also what we understand as cosmic order and cause vs effect. Live and continually seek self-development, maintaining and strengthening your core sense of who you are; live as if your consciousness may survive beyond physical death, regardless of whether you believe it is possible or not. A strong mind has the greatest potential in surviving the death of the body. 

The conscious-life-essence-substratum of THAT WHICH IS births everything. Like the sun births heat; unconsciously as if. As curd is inherently present as a potential in milk, so is the cosmos birthed by consciousness of WHAT IS. Thus is all unto each other. Get IT.
