Know all ritual, ceremony, conditions, as arbitrary (you have yourself to please), a hinderance and confusion; their origin was amusement, later for the purpose of deceiving others from knowing the truth and inducing ignorance; and as always happens their high priests were the more deceived themselves. He who deceives another- deceives himself much more. Therefore Charlatans by their love of rich robes, ceremony, ritual, magical retirements, absurd conditions, and other stupidity, too numerous to relate. Their entire doctrine a boastful display, a cowardice hungering for notoriety; their standard everything unnecessary, their certain failure assured. ...
Were I a teacher I should not act as master, as knowing more, the pupil could lay no claim to discipleship. Assimilating slowly, he would not be concious of his learning, he would not repeat the vital mistake; without fear he would accomplish with ease. The only teaching possible is to show man how to learn from his own wisdom, and to utilise his ignorance and mistakes. Not by obscuring his vision and intention by righteousness.
- A.O. Spare, The Sub-conciousness, The Key to Prophecy

From the space they come
To the stars they go
The shift in power
Empire grows
From the stars they came
To the skies they went
The shifting life-forms
Tentacles around the milky way

Spectral shapes of light
Converge in unison
Forming constellations of the deep
Shifting like kaleidoscope in pale blue neon
Towards the rippling aura beneath
Shimmering figures align in form of octagon
Enshrined by the mother sea
The flock has arrived at the communion
Where all the givers shall receive
Bodies abandoned by minds conjoined into one
Self-annihilation rite in the covenant
The conduits of cosmic light have all succumbed

From the space they come
To the stars they go
The shift in power
Empire grows
From the stars they came
To the skies they went
The shifting life-forms
Tentacles around the Milky Way
