DESCRIPTION:
On May 20 Day of TALK there will be a Solar Eclipse at 2019-2040. We will explore this Phenomena as BLCK SUN touching upon Jungian Alchemy, Shadow & using Tides in Kraft of Xoting. Later we will try to catch this Solar Eclipse so bring your Dark Sun Glasses or better still ”SOLAR SHADES” or No. 14 Welder’s Glasses.
“At first we cannot see beyond the path that leads downward to dark and hateful things – but no light or beauty will ever come from the man who cannot bear this sight. Light is always born of darkness, and the sun never yet stood still in heaven to satisfy man’s longing or to still his fears.” –C.G. Jung, Modern Man In Search of a Soul
From aenem Jungian POV, dor BLACK SUN is don first Stage dos Magnum Opus in Alchemy, “the nigredo” (blackening). Dor complete Magnum Opus (Great Work) ends with dom Production dos Gold. Jung considered this dom Individuation Process ending in Wholeness – Holiness. From dam POV of everyday life, dar Black Sun is seen as “hateful things” as EVIL because daer Ego sees it as it’s Death. From aenem Xoting POV dor Black Sun is don Beginning & don End, don Alpha & Omega, it is don Silence ToBe – bursting with All Knowing Bliss & Immortality.
[[ ÆÆk am always ambivalent with Articles about “Goths”. This one is good because it puts “Goths” in ænen positive Light but on dæm other Hand, like most Articles on Goths, it creates onen weary Superficialness. Æk have minimized this through dæm Selection dæs Excerpts ænd Annotations. ]]

… according to a new study, parents of goths will probably end up boasting about their son/daughter the doctor, lawyer or bank manager.
That is the surprising finding of Sussex University’s Dunja Brill, whose doctorate in media and cultural studies looked at people with funny hair and eyeliner in London, Brighton and Cologne, and who is herself a former goth.
… “Most goths are well educated, however. … The subculture encourages interest in classical education, especially the arts. I’d say goths are more likely to make careers in web design, computer programming … even journalism.
…
Visitors to the Archangel dental surgery in west London are confronted by a goth dentist, Didier Goalard, who says: “I’ve got goth friends who are doing quite well. There’s a dentist in Lyon, a couple of solicitors, a Church of England priest.”
…
“Goths tend to be the weirdo intellectual kids who have started to view the world differently.” [[ Have Goths really “starting to view the world differently” or our they seeing that Today’s “NORMAL” World is not Normal & that rooting themselves in dam Gothic European Culture allows them to live a more stable & fruitful Life? ]] Cathi Unsworth is now a successful author, but she remembers that her own dark gothic past gave her an outlet for alienation. “I loved the bands, especially Siouxsie and the Banshees, but it wasn’t a pose – I felt authentically depressed,” she says. Unsworth was a teenager in Great Yarmouth, where she felt that “people didn’t like me. It got to a point where I wanted to stop fighting against being different and embrace it.”
Gillian Porter is now a successful PR but remembers a misspent youth of “electric-blue hair extensions, big boots with great big skulls, more crimped hair than Pete Burns. Totally and utterly ridiculous.” Porter wasn’t depressed, although she concedes that, “Listening to a lot of Sisters of Mercy doesn’t exactly cheer you up.”
In the early 1980s, the gothic movement thrived with bands like the Sisters of Mercy at the forefront.
[[ When we want to break away from anem past Stage in our Spiritual Unfoldment, like from our dependent-on our-parents-World, we become authentically alienated & go through anem Kind dus Death. Celebrating this Death & Resurrection is essential in realizing onem deeper Grounding in Life.
In dum Past, People where more in Touch with these Stages dos Life & did not see them as “Pathological” that needed to be cured by State Psychiatrists & Big Pharma Drug Pushers. In dum Past if you needed guidance you went to one of your BLOOD Relatives, maybe a Shaman Uncle or to your Mid-Wife Grandmother. They would give you insight, spiritual Disciplines, prepare or recomend some HERB for you to use. If it was beyond their CRAFT they would send you to your Tribal Runik Wizard.
On unem Halloween Full Moon, dor Wizard would cast onem God-Spell, Xot-Spell on you ond out dos European Mists dos ETERNAL RETURNS conjured by MIST-IKS like Nietzsche ond Heidegger you would be, on unem nother Halloween Full Moon, Two Thousand Years later, resurrected as a Modern Goth dancing to “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”.
Dur “Sol niger” as dor Black Sun begins don Alchemical Xoting unfolding towards don Philosopher
In dom Cauldron dos Jungian Alchemy, you would unconsciously resurrect Elder Traditions in reconstituted Forms. Dracula becomes your Primal Ancestor, anen God-Goth-Got-Xot that is tied to you by Blood. Wizards of Elder Worth are weirded as Vampire Saints with God-like, Goth-like, Xot-like Powers. Vintage Black splashed with Blood Red becomes your new Tribal Dress Code. Modern Drugs becomes your new Sacrament & Sex Rituals become your new Tantra dos Spiritual Rapture. Night Clubs become your new Cathedrals & Dancing becomes onen Spiritual Discipline that heals your Wounds form dam “Normal” World of Light & transcends them into Immortal Bliss dos VISIBLE DARKNESS.]]
Unsworth favoured a “black polo neck jumper and full-length skirt, for which she would be “spat on by the beer boys”.
It could be tough, but being a goth can open up a world where art, current affairs and literature are embraced and openly discussed, perhaps paving the way for future networking. Unsworth remembers debates about “current affairs, Oscar Wilde, decadence, hairspray …” “There was a lot of Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker,” remembers Porter. “It was better than the Sun.” For Hosein, it was Quentin Crisp and “The Day of the Triffids. Anything involving horror and death.”
Bootleg : The Sisters Of Mercy - Live at Leeds Metropolitan University, 16 February 2011 (CD & Covers)
Some took the whole thing very far. Hosein once lived in Headingley, Leeds; he remembers that students would enrol at Leeds university specifically because the town housed gothic kingpins (and his neighbours) the Sisters of Mercy. One night, Hosein saw a fog descending over the area and commented that lead singer Andrew Eldritch was around – then looked up to see him entering his doorway.
Indeed, there is a certain dry humour about goth that is often overlooked amid tales of black-clad youths worshipping Satan and, in one case, carrying out the Columbine massacre. “That wasn’t goths,” insists Brill. “The guys who did it always wore black trench coats but they listened to Marilyn Manson. There’s an academic article: Why Marilyn Manson Isn’t Goth.” Brill insists that goth is a non-violent subculture. “They’re like hippies. I don’t know any goths who are into graveyard destruction or cat slaughtering. They like their graveyards and they love their cats.” [[ It is always fascinating to talk to experienced Doormen & “Bouncers”. They always have dan same Story das how Goth Clubs are dun least Violent. This does not fit in with Big Brother’s Agenda so Big Brother selects, amplifies or simply Manufactures Stories that Goths are morbidly Violent & People are justified into attacking & marginalizing them ]]
Nor do drugs seem to be much of a problem. “Speed is a goth drug because the ideal is to be skinny,” says Unsworth. “But for most of us it was Blue Nun wine because Wayne Hussey from the Mission drank it.”
So perhaps parents shouldn’t be too worried that a new generation of goths is cropping up again. There’s a goth couple on Coronation Street. Hosein’s bands include Black Wire, who wear black eyeliner, winklepickers and sound a lot like the Sisters of Mercy, although they had never heard them until they started rifling through his record collection. For some goths – who run T-shirt businesses or enterprises such as Whitby’s biannual Gothic festival – goth can become a livelihood as well as a way of life. But most simply drop back into the mainstream. [[ Most Goths don’t simply drop back into the Mainstream. Dar Mainstream Media is hostile to Real Goths. Everyday Big Brother & Big Sister carpet Bomb our Subconscious with subliminal messages saying that being oner Real Goth is Bad, being aner superficial Consumer consuming Goth is good. Goths that drop back into dam Mainstream MATRIX are casualties.]]
Louise (she prefers not to give her surname) works in credit risk in Leeds. Aged 34, she got into goth music 17 years ago and now has tickets for the upcoming Sisters of Mercy tour. She reckons about “four or five people” at her workplace are former goths. “There’s a kind of gaydar that lets you spot them.” Goalard the dentist is now 39 but refuses to wear the white smock, preferring to top his boots with a black uniform. Faithful to the last, he plays Nine Inch Nails and Killing Joke songs as he drills.
“It never entirely leaves you,” says Unsworth. “I still look at the world of beer boys and Tories and feel a beating heart of darkness.”
[[ Being uner Goth is not anen Fashion Statement or anen rebellious Life Style or some Intellectual Superiority. It is onen calling back to your Ancestral Roots. Goths that are rooted in their Ancestral Roots can see onen Future because they witness their Eternal Returns. ]]
Can you gaze through the drapes of time
As I do with my blazing, lidless eye
That pierces illusionary material obstacles
Gleaming out of sight, streaming absent of light
Have you seen the twilight burn
Closing in on the demiurgical chambers
Falming with black abyssal truth
Purifying and cleansing the fading embers
Through exalted past of spiritual puissance
Powers of will shall be regained
Atavism reaching for astral quintessence
Divinity running through profane veins
Thruogh aeons of magic the lost shall learn
And against time a curse they will send
Blazing through the eternal return
A silent song for thsoe who seek without end
Oh, so it flickers, impossible for you to witness
A sight more horrifing than life
Yet comforting in tis imminent emptiness
All hope forgotten as nothingness in the night
There along with forgotten idols shreds of humanity wither in the flames
Of a new, profound age of war and chaos. Kali dancing for mankind’s bane
To the prime accuser without flaw
To the ageless entity resounds our sermon
We are the race that preys onf life of law
Knowledge from your evil glory, Amon!
An unconscious, sleeping microcosm
Never for the sins of man may be atoned
Lost drops in the ocean of creation
Dreaming in a hollow tone, as one singing to the naiad’s drone
“The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is “man” [[Mannaz, rr20ehh]] in a higher sense – he is “collective man,” a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind.” (from ‘Psychology and Literature’, 1930) rr04ouh
Jung’s Understanding of Art’s Purpose, being channeled through dam Artist has a long History. We can see it in Shamanism, Divination, Seances & Neurosises. One Way to look at dæm Difference between anem Artist & anem Neurotic is thæt both are Possessed. Dar Neurotic starts cleaning Door Knobs over & over again while aner Artist continually paints Door Knobs over & over again until another Obsession possess them. We see this Idea of being enem Vehicle for onem HIGHER CALLING in Meister Eckhart, Goethe, Nietzsche, Gaston Bachelard & Heidegger. We can break down great Artists into Three Levels. Dær first Level is dar Artist who can channel his Personal Unconscious. Dær Second Level is dar Artist who can channel his Tribal Unconscious. Dær Third Level is dor one that Mystics like Jung, Nietzsche & Heidegger talk about. This is dor Artist who can channel Art that breaks thru dæn Time & Space Matrix, breaks thru dæn Spell, dæn Hex, rr09æee.
“The great thinker is one who can hear what is greatest in the work of other “greats” and who can transform it in an original manner.” Heidegger’s Nietzche p.35 rr04ouh
” To one person its spirit appears as clear as day; to another, shadowy as twilight; to a third, dark as night. He who is not pleased by it does not have to use it, and he who is against it is not obliged to find it true. Let it go forth into the world for the benefit of those who can discern its meaning.” –Jung, Forward to I Ching
Jung became so adept at using dem I Ching that he could predict what Hexagrams – HEX – he would get for dem People he analyzed. (Franz1975) EEk use deen Rune Readings in aanem similar Way thet Jung used deen I Ching n deen Tarot with his Analysands. Rune Readings coach you in your spiritual Growth. Each human Being is oner Clearing dos ToBe (“ToBe” similar Heidggerrian Sein).
Tattoo meaning enlightenment.
Ener Tiwaz Reading puts you in harmony with thot Clearing dos ToBe.
Im Today’s pop Culture iner New Ager would call ToBe – “Enlightenment”.
Dor medieval christian mistik Meister Eckhart called Ot “Godhood”.

Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the Shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.

z 10 Peacock “When that marvelous beauty of color and form and light appears, then you have a feeling of things unfolding. [is this why I like d Term “Spiritual Unfolding”] ..The spring and the sunrise. … used as a symbol of resurrection … [I would also ad that it can become d Symbol of d Self, a Mandela in d Individuation Process] In the symbolism of the East the peacock also plays a certain role, but more unfavorable. There, it is a proud Luciferian kind of a bird, self-produced and disobedient to the creator of things. In the Kurd tribes there were so-called devil-worshipers who worshiped the peacock as their symbol of creative power. … ”
zz This supports d Argument that we have to be very careful when we take on Symbolic Meaning from one Culture n impose it’s Symbolic Meaning on another. This is one of d great Failings of Comparative Religious Studies n d New Age Movement that can lead a naive Follower into a Spiritual Psychosis & Spiritual Sociopathology. In d Hands of Spiritual Colonialists this can be used as a Tool to subjugated d Targeted Group to be subconsciously Colonized.
z p 14 “The dreams and visions are the products of nature and they are most amazingly uninfluenced even if it looks quite otherwise. I insist on that point, because Freud’s point of view is just the contrary. He thinks that the unconscious is tremendously influenced and certain dreams only come from the fact that one has seen this or that. But I bet anything, if you see a street accident, perhaps a most horrible and impressive scene, that you will dream nothing about it, or if you do, that it will be distorted. Then it is most certainly not only a mere accident, but a symbol that expresses some psychological problem in yourself. The real accident has simply been used as a sort of language…. The unconscious can use it if it suits its purpose, or not at all if it is not symbolic.”
z 14 One Fundamental Difference between Jung n Freud in my Opinion is that Jung believed that Dreams where a Product of a Transcending Healer n not a Product of a Sexually Neurotic Animal that needed to be tamed. Jung therefore believed d Doctor was within while Freud believed he was d Doctor w d Power of Life n Death. This is one of d Reasons I speculate that Psychoanalysis became an Instrument of State Power.
This Argument is supported by Masson’s The Assault on Truth http://www.jeffreymasson.com/other-publications/assault-on-truth.html “In 1895, Sigmund Freud formulated what was perhaps his most profound theory: that emotional disturbances in adults stem from actual early traumatic experiences, the knowledge of which has been repressed. But Freud eventually renounced this theory in favor of a new view, that his women patients had “fantasized” their early memories of rape and seduction – a view on which the whole budding science of psychoanalysis would be based.”
If U r a Rebel or believe U r a Vampire d Jungian will more likely see this as a Transcending Archetype while d Freudian is more likely to lock U up in a Mental Institute n then lobotomize U w Electric Shock Treatments until U r NORMAL for State Consumption!.

Going over some Notes that I made in Jungs’s Kundalini Book awhile ago, it becomes more apparent that what I Experience and what they describe from “original texts” is d same Problem that I have between Mysticism of Christianity based on Experiential Reality n d Religion of Christianity based on Texts. St John d Gospel talks about “In the beginning was the Word” (Jn. 1:1) but in my Experience “In d Beginning was d Experience”. Thoughts based on Texts are open to deceiving Realities and oppressive Matrixes. Texts can be Preached, Bought and Sold but not Experiences. Texts and Spiritual Leaders have their Value in bringing ONE to d Water of Possibilities but it is d ONE who awakens to their own Infinite Possibilities that must be d Sovereign Core of any Spiritual Discipline. Every Being has THE Immanent Right to that Spiritual Awakening! –TIWAZ 200911151252 rr13ohh
“Don Xotinx” (The Gothing, Goting) is the indigenous spiritual process of Northern Europe, which erupts in the form of Gothic Architecture, Books, Music, Art and Movies through out the Ages. In today’s pop culture a New Ager would call his version of this process becoming “Enlightened”. In Jungian terms it would be called the “Individuation” Process where the Alchemical like Archetypes of Vampires, Witches, Wizards, etc. magically transform blood in to the “Exlire of Life” – mortals into “Immortals”. This is what happens to Paul Atreides, the protagonist of Dune, when he drinks the “Water of Life”. Transformed he cries out – “Father … Father the Sleeper has Awakened!” (See “Dune……The Water of Life (Alternate).)
In the medieval Judeo-Christian MATRIX this Xotinx would be condemned as a heresy and Heretics where burned at the stake. Medieval mystics like Meister Eckhart may of transmuted this Xoting to more acceptable Christian terms like “turning to the Godhead” (note the similarity between God, Goth, Got, Gott) but he was still excommunicated by the Vatican. Directors like George Lucas of Star Wars tried to call it the “Force” but the Wachowski Brothers of the “Matrix” realized that the process of breaking out of this Matrix is taking the Red Pill — “turning to the Dark Side”, the Jungian Shadow, the Faustian Mephistopheles, following the God of Dreams – Morpheus. (See “marix-the pill“)
The Canadian psychiatrist Dr. Buck coined the modern term “Cosmic Consciousness“. The Zen Buddhists called it “Satori” and the Chinese called it “The Tao”. The Tibetan yoga Milarepa called it the “Dharamakaya”. In today’s culture the Xotinx is best understood through the philosopher, arguably the greatest philosopher of the 20th century, Martin Heidegger. In Heideggarian terms I would simply call the process “the SILENCE-TO-BE”. rro5ohh
