The Lords: Notes on Vision

  • Yoga powers.
    To make oneself invisible or small.
    To become gigantic and reach to the farthest things.
    To change the course of nature.
    To place oneself anywhere in space or time.
    To summon the dead.
    To exalt senses and perceive inaccessible images, of events on other worlds,
    in one's deepest inner mind, or in the minds of others.
  • (Windows work two ways, mirrors one way.)
    You never walk through mirrors or swim through windows.
  • The world becomes an apparently infinite,
    yet possibly finite, card game.
    Image combinations,
    permutations,
    comprise the world game.
  • Cinema has evolved in two paths. One is spectacle. Like the phantasmagoria, its goal is the creation of a total substitute sensory world. The other is peep show, which claims for its realm both the erotic and the untampered observance of real life, and imitates the keyhole or voyeur's window without need of color, noise, grandeur.
  • The subject says "I see first lots of things which dance — then everything becomes gradually connected".
  • Few would defend a small view of Alchemy as "Mother of Chemistry", and confuse its true goal with those external metal arts. Alchemy is an erotic science, involved in buried aspects of reality, aimed at purifying and transforming all being and matter. Not to suggest that material operations are ever abandoned. The adept holds to both the mystical and physical work.
  • They can picture love affairs of chemicals and stars, a romance of stones, or the fertility of fire. Strange, fertile correspondences the alchemists sensed in unlikely orders of being. Between men and planets, plants and gestures, words and weather.
  • Cinema returns us to anima, religion of matter, which gives each thing its special divinity and sees gods in all things and beings. Cinema, heir of alchemy, last of an erotic science.
  • The Lords. Events take place beyond our knowledge or control. Our lives are lived for us. We can only try to enslave others. But gradually, special perceptions are being developed. The idea of the "Lords" is beginning to form in some minds. We should enlist them into bands of perceivers to tour the labyrinth during their mysterious nocturnal appearances. The Lords have secret entrances and they know disguises. But they give themselves away in minor ways. Too much glint of light in the eye. A wrong gesture. Too long and curious a glance.
  • More or less, we're all afflicted with the psychology of the voyeur. Not in a strictly clinical or criminal sense, but in our whole physical and emotional stance before the world. Whenever we seek to break this spell of passivity, our actions are cruel and awkward and generally obscene, like an invalid who has forgotten to walk.



About The New Creatures
(from wikiquote...):


The New Creatures

  • I can't believe this is happening
    I can't believe all these people
    are sniffing each other
    & backing away
    teeth grinning
    hair raised, growling, here in
    the slaughtered wind
  • Do you dare
    deny my
    potency
    my kindness
    or forgiveness?
  • Camel caravans bear
    witness guns to Caesar.
    Hordes crawl and seep inside
    the walls. The streets
    flow stone. Life goes
    on absorbing war. Violence
    kills the temple of no sex.
  • Cool pools
    from a tired land
    sink now
    in the peace of evening
    Clouds weaken
    and die.
    The sun, an orange skull,
    whispers quietly, becomes an
    island, & is gone. There they are
    watching
    us everything
    will be dark.
    The light changed.
    We were aware
    knee-deep in the fluttering air
    as the ships move on
    trains in their wake.
  • This is it
    no more fun
    the death of all joy
    has come.
