Within this tome, the gates open wide. Herein lies nothing true, and nothing false. Far from requiring assurance of its own blunders, joyous mistakes make up the entirety of its limbs. It relishes in the thought of changing your mind, of manifesting confusion where there is faith, of invoking wrath where there is quiet content and self-imposed anesthesia. It looks upon you with no eyes; it sees through its own kaleidoscope. It hears you with no ears; thunderstorms make up its resonance. It thinks of you with no mind; its thoughts are made up of all those things which we have left behind in the dark of the wilderness.
The drums begin and the heavens thunder wildly as we start to sweat and metamorphose. A voice inside us speaks as we dance, trip, and fall upwards forever into the abyss.
DEATH TO THE IMAGE; HAIL THE NEW FLESH
It is difficult to find any kind of books, much less, any book written by dedicated and currently practicing, modern chaos (Xaos) magicians. Phil Hine and Peter Carroll laid good groundwork for applying theory to real life, but there has been a large gap between those works and the progress in the current. The Assault on Reality: A Field Manual for the Strange Psyche chronicles some personal rituals - like the Nightmare Mass - that lays aside the BS and opens the Self to the Self mercilessly and directly confrontational in order to exercise one's Will over one's Reality. The works therein continuously lends individual and real testimonies of testing and conquering the limitations of the modern world, and those self-imposed, as in the Chelsea Working: a cross-country experiment conducted between practitioners who realized and manifested real results. Some may call it madness, but most pioneers earn such titles. There is no fluffiness here. Only those who wish to tear aside the mask and... More > suck the sweet marrow of Xaos - that from which all things have come. The Walrus wants YOU for the Assault on Reality! Are you ready? DTTI:HTNF xoxo< Less
Remind me WHY I bothered to even buy this? It was the worst purchase ever - I bought this book with hope that I would be able to feed my family of four but instead it was $20 less spending on the shopping budget! As a mother and a working-class female, I found this book extemely sexist! I saw no mention of Political correctness anywhere! Only 'He' was mentined, now I am a woman with influence and I visit regular school committee meetings and I am going to get your books banned here! You are oppressing females and making them seem like the weaker gender. Keeping this in mind, your book has made me very upset! I am not going to allow my children to read this filth! I have also submitted you 'guys' to the Internet Filter and the ACS Thank you and have a nice day.
I want to be strictly honest in my critique, here. This is nothing personal, I hope you realize this, but the idea that people will actually pay for this drivel has just ruined my life. The thing I wanted to point out is this. Being as nonsensical as this does not make you look wise, it makes you look like you're spouting off a lot of bull and makes you look like an idiot. It is not something to be proud of. On the other hand, you seem to have a good grasp of the hardware of the English language. This is good. Now all you need is something worth writing about. Sincerely, Erica.
This book is retarded. DO NOT LET THE ABOVE BLURB MISLEAD YOU. I have been following the rituals and philosophies for three months, forsaking my family, my work, my mistress (indeed, all forms of sexual gratification) amd have yet to metamorphose into a kaleidoscope. Rip off.
