Closest bookshelf to my computer:
The Rediscovery of the Mind - John Searle In Search of the Ultimate Building Blocks - Gerard 't Hooft Buddhism (Flamarrion Iconographic Guides) - Louis Frederic How the World Can Be the Way It Is - Steve Hagen Superstrings and the Search for The Theory of Everything - F. David Peat
JK These books you have listed are what I am looking for because of the interest I have in correlating Gnosticism with these modern theories.
Much of what I have read on the implicate order inwardly nauseates me with the notion of human interconnectedness, something which gives me the urge to immediately wash my hands, yet in establishing this as the order, there is still the possibility of consolation in searching for the negative side.
F. David Peat was associated with physicist and philosopher David Bohm and the "implicate order" theory was something which really made sense and is quite obvious to see why humans would perceive this as well as the whole interconnectedness theory. I hate the idea of humans being assimilated as one mind in harmony and wish the people of earth burned to a crisp by cosmic cataclysm and for cosmos to enter total heat death. Why? because there has to be something that is opposed to the eternally recurring cycle of monotonous absurdity.
The Alpha and Omega of the primordial state is closing in from both ends to consume the cosmos, I feel it through near death experience. The cosmos being merely a fleeting light in an otherwise unbroken darkness. Why do people perceive the universe as expanding? because this is how their brain works and how they perceive the illusory nature of light. The way humans perceive light and linear time is not to be trusted except as something which sustains us and is progressive to perpetuate and evolve our kind.
The huge scale of the universe is not huge at all but the same size as anything else within it as all things converge at points of perception for all reasons relating to how our physical form interacts with objective reality, it's going to be warped as soon as the boundaries of our minds have hit the threshold of perception. I suggest that the smallest is just the same size as the largest and that everything has already happened at the same time, we just perceive a limited and linear order of things and and likewise disorder to things because we are humans with a brain that works in such a way to sustain our existence through cognitive learning and that an end answer is always elusive by design, we only see what we must in order to survive and when this reaches beyond our natural habitat this is when things become distorted and appear to be vast to keep us in perspective.
Somehow I feel that the dark alpha is the dark omega, and the non duel primordial state consumes from the outside of cosmos.
If this is so then the implicate order is true only because of the phenomenal form of it's idea being perceptible. I propose that humans can understand the cosmos to the fullest of their capacity but that the knowledge is always fundamentally flawed due to the very beginnings of ideas stemming from the human observation of something which is illusory by nature—light.
If everyone's consciousness is working together to perpetuate the linear existence then the only way to end the hideous cycle of stagnation is to shut off the holistic projector ie. destroy the Earth and all that is conscious on it. This will ensure the impossibility of linear time being re-established thus opening the end death of the universe instantly and yet timelessly.
Will there be a sinister side to Satanism to find intrinsic meaning for the evil intelligencer (evil being subjective but we know the joke by now), or will things continue to be hippyish and for the well being of mankind?
A book "Postmodern Satanism" looks interesting because of the vast knowledge expressed by it's author, a one Jason King who appears to be very in depth with views I have not explored yet such as principles of mathematics, and other areas which I am severely lacking. I'm more of your grim philosopher type who was too defiant to learn not one bit of school work. I write my own philosophy from a grim humanistic yet beast-like perspective, an epistemic distrust of the openly visible, a lucid intelligence related to, but not limited to, misanthropy. So yea, I blow my money I have left over from my bodybuilding diet on books to basically put my hermit brain to use, so as not to die as a 100% waste of my ability. I don't read much at all and have no idea where these thoughts come from other than being motivated by active nihilism..
I wonder if the intrinsic meaning in all I do is humour these days, it's a blur because conceptualising and manifesting grimness is so fun!

The below books are lying in a pile in the bedroom.
1. The Iliad by Homer 2. The Odyssey by Homer
Both of these books have been translated by Robert Fagles.
Fagles was a genius. His translations are so fresh and he makes these great works inspiring. Those great figures like Achilles and Agamemnon live again in plain contemporary English.
3. Childhoods End by A C Clarke
A special book which I will read in the next few months.
4. Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky
Am thinking about giving this a re - read after not touching it for years.
5. The Hastur Cycle
A collection of stories, edited by Price. Because the great Magician's say its worthwhile and because I am determined to get to the bottom of this whole business.
