InfluencesI’m Aware of:Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture—Arthur Evan’s controversial work published in 1978, presents the historical suppression of nature society and magical thinking by the rise of militarism and patriarchy. Queerness is reclaimed as a sacred dynamic with an ancient natural lineage.Heliogabalus; or, The Crowned Anarchist—Antonin Artaud’s 1934 novelized biography of Elagabalus, the 25th Emperor of Rome. Ruling only from 218 AD to 222 AD before being assassinated by his own guard, he replaced the traditional head of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter, with the Sun God of his ancestral priesthood, installed his mother and grandmother as the first women to be in the Roman Senate, and publicly married both men and women during his mystical reign of sexual rites and debauchery. Koyaanisqatsi—a 1983 visual symphonic poem directed by Godfrey Reggio set entirely to music composed by Philip Glass. A cinematic attempt to evoke a spiritual passage between the ancient and contemporary, from nature to industry, exploring life out of balance. Reggio explained the lack of dialogue by stating "it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live."  Drawing Down the Moon—a sociological study of contemporary paganism in the United States written by the American Wiccan and journalist Margot Adler. First published in 1979 the book is credited with both documenting new religious impulses and being a catalyst for the panoply of practices now in existence, helping popularize earth-based religions.Against His-Story, Against Leviathan!—a book released in 1983 by essayist Fredy Perlman. It is a personal critical perspective on contemporary civilization and society. The work defined anarcho-primitivism for the first time, and was a major source of inspiration for anti-civilization perspectives in contemporary anarchism, most notably on the thought of philosopher John Zerzan. The Perennial Philosophy—the 1945 comparative study of mysticism by the British writer and novelist Aldous Huxley. An attempt to present this Highest Common Factor of all theologies by assembling passages from the writings of those saints and prophets who have approached a direct spiritual knowledge of the Divine. The First and Last Freedom—the 1954 book by Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti contemplating the nature of the self and of belief, investigations into fear and desire, the relationship between thinker and thought, the concept of choiceless awareness, and the function of the mind.  https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/Landing-BLACK-HOLES-ARE-HIDDEN-STARS Mon, 25 May 2020 18:35:26 +0000 Black Holes are Hidden Stars https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/Landing-BLACK-HOLES-ARE-HIDDEN-STARS BLACK HØLES ARE HIDDEN STARS is the electrate thought garden of, ROBERT ZIN STARK https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/11-12-21 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 20:16:56 +0000 Black Holes are Hidden Stars https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/11-12-21 11.12.21 Things are only funny when honesty surprises you. https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/11-1-21 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 20:12:02 +0000 Black Holes are Hidden Stars https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/11-1-21 11.1.21 Feeling and feelings are a strange state where the object and subject are the same thing. We are articulating the impression, bringing forth the receptive. Art is that. https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/10-5-21 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 20:08:52 +0000 Black Holes are Hidden Stars https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/10-5-21 10.5.21 The death wish vs the will to flourish, is the extended difference between knowing and understanding. Responsibility is the thing that reconciles and brings integration. The discourse between certainty and wisdom, is admitting participation. https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/10-2-21 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 20:04:11 +0000 Black Holes are Hidden Stars https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/10-2-21 10.2.21 Means of Taste If the means of production is the potency to create supply, then the means of taste is the potency to create demand. How is taste attained, maintained, and propagated? Georges Bataille posited that a general economy pivoted around the aesthetics of sacrifice, as in potlatch, as a way to achieve and maintain status. Not long after Bataille published “The Accursed Share” in 1949, did the term ‘tastemaker’ become coined in 1950. Rituals of sacrifice might also be practicing our relationship with death. And as one becomes more comfortable with death, one might be a better experiencer of life. It is to be able to experience life, that is to have a sense of ‘taste’, in the profound sense. What we sacrifice of ourselves, willfully, is therefore what we are willing to live without. Perhaps these are the things we have only truly owned. https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/9-28-21 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 20:00:12 +0000 Black Holes are Hidden Stars https://blackholesarehiddenstars.space/9-28-21 9.28.21 The difference between an icon and a symbol is that the icon is making a promise.
