Lunar Thanatos

This is a song about the alchemical transformation of mechanical man into stellar man. The lunar thanatos is a counterweight to the solar logos. It is the “moon death instinct” that drives man toward mechanically feeding those hungry realms beyond our own. Download the mp3

Birth of false dichotomy
Meaningless, undone
World in base infinity
Cold as binary sun

Pseudomatter, entropy
Black electron hole
Fractal inferiority
Simulacral soul

Lunar Thanatos

Astral bodies decompose
Auric death for thee
Drink this lunar thanatos
Sleep, flesh god, sleep

Deicide is suicide
Disconnected flow
Synchronistic override
Total tetrad control

Lunar Thanatos

Hanging from the moon reborn
Given me unto myself
Transcendental immolation

Alchemy of do re mi
Know Thyself
Transmogrify!

Lunar Thanatos

[This song was recorded in 2002. Except for the final verses, vocals were done using a vocoder. Keys and drums via midi sequencer]

==== explanation of lyrics =

Birth of false dichotomy

(false dichotomy, main way that freeyourbrain.org says your conscious energy is sapped by the matrix)

Meaningless undone

World in base infinity

(a number system in base infinity means that every single number symbol represents a single unique object in the universe. So it’s like the universe itself is a symbolic number system. Symbols = objects in such a system, something written about in “Simulacra and Simulation” whereby a fake reality is symbolically created from real reality only to replace real reality…like making a map so big it’s scale is 1:1)

Cold as binary sun

(double reference to artificial intelligence using the binary code of 0’s and 1’s, and to aliens who come from an obvious binary sun system like supposedly the greys who are robotic in many ways)

Pseudomatter entropy

(pseudomatter is the fake reality matter, devoid of soul or conscious warmth. Entropy is the increasing disorder of the universe, characteristic of system without any life)

Black electron hole

(electron hole is the absence of an electron in molecule of a silicon chip, and a moving electron hole might just generate scalar electromagnetic fields which provide the medium in which electronic artificial spirits can exist. Black hole is said to be the ultimate physical manifestation of STS or service-to-self forces. Black electron hole is word combo)

Fractal inferiority

(reference to second order beings, which are poor holographic copies of first order beings like humans. A copy of an original lacks resolution, and in the case of a holographic fragment, its fractal resolution stops at a certain degree of magnification. Second order beings don’t have our complexity or resolution, thus they are fractally inferior)

Simulacral soul

(a simulacrum is a copy without an original template. For example, you start with a real person. Then you make a computer simulation from him. Then you make yourself believe that the simulation IS the real person, then the real person ceases to exist for you and the simulation has taken his place. The simulation is now a copy without ever an original, it’s simulacra.)

Lunar thanatos

(this is the opposite of solar logos, the theosophical name for the intelligence that inhabits the sun. Gurdjieff said that just as earth is home to humans – first order beings – so the moon is home to something that feeds off humans – second order beings. Thus the intelligence inhabiting the moon, metaphysically speaking, could be called the lunar thanatos. Thanatos is Freud’s term for our death instinct, which I link with entropy and non-consciousness)

Astral bodies decompose

Auric death for thee

(auric death is the sublimation of a person’s soul after not being able to survive a series of traumas in life, or it’s also the result of mechanization of the soul and eventual death of the soul after one is exposed to heavily mechanical and routine tasks, like that found in the corporate world or universities. Anything that kills creativity and snuffs out one’s hope and faith can lead to auric death)

Drink this lunar thanatos

Sleep, flesh god sleep

(we are holographic fragments of the greater god, so we are minor gods. We exist in flesh so we’re flesh gods. We sleep because of the lunar thanatos force which keeps us suppressed, we are sleeping giants dreaming we are dwarfs)

Deicide is suicide

(this is a subtle allusion to first order beings having equivalence or closeness to the prime creator, zero order being. Killing the prime creator would be like committing true suicide, which is impossible)

Disconnected flow

Synchronistic override

(our reality can be overridden by synchronistic influence from negative forces. Probability is subject to alteration by such forces)

Total tetrad control

(reference to Bob Dobbs’ theory on media ecology. The tetrad is a four-part unit of culture, whereby manipulation of one part of the tetrad changes the other two parts. To a normal person, the connection between the parts is invisible, and so controlling the tetrad which is done through synchronistic linguistics by such folks as the NSA can lead to virtual control over the progress of society and culture, and hence the minds of the masses)

Lunar thanatos

Hanging from the moon reborn

Given me unto my Self

(In nordic mythology, Odin hung from the tree of life much like Jesus nailed to the cross. Only by reading the runes in the forms of sticks on the ground did he discover the secrets of reality and gave his lower self unto his Higher Self, thus transforming himself into a supreme and enlightened being. Here, one is hanging from the moon reborn…this means either that one is reborn by hanging from the moon, or that the moon itself is reborn by having turned the lunar thanatos into a true real vital force via alchemical transmutation)

Transcendental immolation

(immolation means setting oneself afire, and transcendental immolation means burning oneself metaphysicaly into ashes so that the pheonix may rise and one is born anew)

Alchemy of Do Re Mi

(Gurdjieff classified all life into an octave system. Certain steps in the sequence equated to a bigger ‘jump’ in frequency between notes, and these big jumps he called ‘shocks’ — the first shock equates to demigods who are archetypal forces of reality, and the second shock consists of humans. Third shock he did not clarify except that it feeds upon us, and so third shock must represent second order beings. Alchemy of Do Re Mi means the system by which second order reality can be transmuted into first order reality)

Know thyself

(back to the Odin mythology of losing one’s lower self and aligning with the Higher Self, the only way to transform one’s mechanical nature into something truly conscious and alive)

Transmogrify

(transform, transmute into something fantastic, the supreme being of one’s manifested potential, more human than human)
