Not a form of chaos magic but from I been reading mysticism marxism could be a school of mysticism into itself.
I really want to get into the occult and such stuff but some stuff just feels phony and the other stuff doesn't feel informative.

Whos doing the blacklisting?
Jordan Wright
What the fuck is with the occultism lately? Gtfo
Liam Harris
Not to mention it's riddled with Zig Forumsaks who believe communist are trying to establish a NWO. But at the same time i think there's alot of info out there connecting the occult to dialectics and other theories. There was a really cool thread talking about socialist who believed in mysticism but i lost the names
Ayden Collins
The only thing I believe that is tin foil-tier is the government covering up top-secret military aircraft.
Brayden Russell
There i no info about that, that's a synthesis we must develop on our own.

Occultism is just the methods of cognitive behavioural therapy welded to a reactionary idealist philosophical framework. It's useful as a psychological tool in the same way CBT is, but most people who study it get lost in the allegories and metaphors and end up believing in the literal existence of spirits and supernatural forces. All 'successful' occult practitioners, pioneers, innovators in the field, etc, are generally quite clear about their disbelief in such things.
Robert Morales
Occultism has nothing to do with conspiracies.
Henry Harris
I was deeply into the occult for most of my early to mid 20's. Watching that whole pepe kek god thing go down in real time made it confirmed in my mind as a reality.
The occult is used by everyone whether they know it or not. Psychologists, advertisers, the media. The main aim of occultists is to harness ones will and intent and use it to manipulate reality.
A corporation is basically the same concept as an egregore.
A brands logo is the same thing as a sigil.
The closet thing to actual magik in this world is art. You can use art to manipulate reality. Music, books, paintings, etc. The occult is after all about rituals, ceremonies, and symbols.
You push your will behind a symbol (meme) you push it into the collective unconscious through tv, internet, books, movies, your idea then drips into reality as a thought form.
Next thing you know it you have hordes of young people wearing v for vendetta masks and protesting the system.

War40k can never get truer.
Far right = imperium.
Far left = chaos.
Dominic Green
I'm familiar with those concepts from Moor but how do they relate to more common occult traditions
And that's part of my issue, it's hard to tell the people who is self aware from the people who is credulous and there is no occult literature that is sincere about what's behind all those symbols and allegories.
Christian Rivera
Here are a few obscure one's I can think of off the top of my head.
So far those were the only one's I can think of but I'm sure I can find more.
Luke Allen
And before anyone asks yes these are all related to leftism even the ones that seem like they don't.
Josiah Sullivan
My personal take is to never read anything modern or made under capitalism.
The more ancient the better. Always avoid "spiritual" men asking for money
Avoid things like new age and wicca at all costs, just government psyops.
Wicca was invented by a british government worker and its pretty much babies first occultism and a rip off of crowley and hermticism.
Also an occultist should not be anti science. all the best scientists were occultists
If the occult is about reality manipulation art and science are really good avenues to apply occultism to
I mean, what if you traveled back in time and nuked something, they would think you were some dark wizard fucker

ITT: punching Down-syndrome kids.
You have to be a special kind of retard to fall for that shit. 90% of the posters know it's fake but pretend for fun's sake while some psychos can't tell reality from fiction and games and assume it totally.
No. This is like saying "all chemists are to a certain extent doing alchemy." It's just simply untrue.
It's called "living" or "ordinary life" in some *cough* circles. Not everybody needs magical thinking to be able to function just fine.
An airplane is basically the same as a bird. Corn Flakes is basically the same as scabs. Thinking in similes is the most superficial shit ever and precludes new knowledge.
You can use shitting or breathing to manipulate reality.
A good amount of retardation dripped into your reality, mate.
Christian Harris
Motherfucker I'm supposed to be the worst spurdo poster on the board not you, fight me.
Jeremiah Sanders
Pre enlightenment the occult and science were intertwined. One of the origins of western estorism is hermeticism which sought to manipulate nature
Robert Taylor
At least religious people were indoctrinated as children by authority figures.
You lot have no excuse.
Grayson Collins
Grow up, you infantilized manchild.
"I put in hard work and energy to ensure I remain retarded."
Yes, that's why you should live with bonobos, or better, single celled organisms, instead with humans.

Jose Russell
I wouldn't say the best scientists but pre 1600's, everyone worth being anyone was an occultist, although given that occultism is just the study of the paranormal from previous societies, it was more of a hobby really.
Jason Sullivan
He said, while using an American libertarian’s platform… on the Internet, which started as a research project of the American military.
Colton Russell
There were no scientists in the contemporary sense of the word "pre 1600".
It's his special kind of excuse for not reading, really.

Threads like this are a good reminder that this board is full of morons that believe genuinely themselves to be intellectuals.

Don't get cocky with me.
This is a Kultural Marx tier image.
Robert Rivera
if I ran this place, you lot would be the first to go to gulag. If you lack the critical thinking skills to understand this is all bullshit, you aren’t worth talking to about any subject.
Also the christcoms should go for the same reason
Dominic Howard
Shut up heretic.
Jordan Bailey
No, parsons was legitimately an occultist that was into weird ass sex magik and also rocketry
Michael Clark
Posadism is 100% the way.
2018 is actually YEAR OF NAZBOL and there's nothing we can do to stop the nazbol gods
Gabriel King
I'll be entirely honest Pendle isn't a credible source considering he wrote only fiction books after that one.
Mason Roberts
REEEEEEEE GTFO PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN STUFF I DON'T BELIEVE IN
COMMUNISM DOESN'T ALLOW STRANGE BELIEFS REEEEEE
Ayden Butler
Ah yes they just happened to stop doing this in the 70s and 80s despite it being extremely effective. So conspiratorial
Colton Diaz
I don't know about this magick business but Chaos is the most communist WH40k faction.
Brayden Rodriguez
Any communist or socialist worth a damn is a materialist. Get that shit out of here.

occultism is immaterial

Yes, those feel phony from miles away
I'm already an artist and Kandisnky's ''Concerning the Spiritual in Art" is what has me so interested in the occult
I'm reading Evelyn Underhill's Practical Mysticism (Sadly a recent book) but I've really enjoyed these two books because they use a plain and transparent language without talking about gods or symbols and actually describe the spiritual practice and exprience and that is the issue that I have with so much occult stuff i come across.
I'm aware of the "indistinguishable from magic" statement but separating the actual material practice from the ideology it's difficult at this point.
Luis Baker
A poem by my favourite poet, Fernando Pessoa
Natal
A God is born. Others die. The truth
Has neither come nor gone: the Error changed
We have now a new Eternity
And it's never better than what remained
Blind, Science ploughs the worthless dirt.
Mad, Faith lives the visions of its cult
A new God is but a word.
Don't seek or believe: all is occult
Juan Sanders
unironically this
