The Doom Machine

Hypertrophy is the equilibrium state of the present world.  In the fatal marriage of High Tech Man and Biosphere, hypertrophy progresses to the Omega Point-- the End.  Man has tried to triumph over life in the state of Nature for the bettering of human existence.  But stupid, inexorable human nature defeats the dream of rationalized perfection--"Just keep tinkering with the Machine until we get it right."  But the mad logic of growth results in extinction, when hypertrophy surpasses the limits to growth.  As the fear of our collective demise increases, everything is done to speed up the hypertrophy, to outrun the mechanical horses of the Apocalypse (to buy some more time, only to make the final plunge one to a much deeper depth of Hell on Earth).  We've known from the early 1970s, at least, where we were headed, and done nothing sufficient to stop the Machine, mainly because short-term, near-at-hand concerns of self-interest always prevailed-- the 'Limits to Growth' of human wisdom-- and it always trumps long-term survival.  So, "Bye bye, humans, bye bye, world."

Makers of the New God

The purpose of the Twayne, why they were brought together and joined in love, was to bring the New God into being.  They must find him a form suitable to be born into, an expression of his Idea: of Ecos melded with Eros.  But there will be other forms, to follow--  for there will be many distinct avatars of EcoEros, all over the Earth.

The Making of the New God

We must make in our inner mind-body a temple for the new God, EcoEros, perhaps as a tree-cathedral in a forest, with a part-carven blasted tree, the Irminsul, as the idol for him to enter, so that he may act in us and through us in the world.  We must give him the proper form to enter, conceptual and visual, which has to come from a mutual labor of our conscious and Unconscious, ultimately-- intellectual and intuitive.  When the form is right, that will be clear.  And then we may call him in to enter, offer him of our vital force to prime his powers.  And in the moonlit night with the starlight winking through the tree-tops, we may present ourself to him, asking to serve his will.

Maker of Dead Things

Man is a tool-user by nature.  Therefore he is always prone to possession by the thing-making mind, that makes of living substance dead things of use to him.  He uses images and ideas to make tools and weapons and machines, to gain power-over, to convert life to dead things.  And so he walks a narrow road between life-giving and death-dealing, always a threat to the living world, the ultimate killer.  And he is so thoughtless of his power to convert life to death, because it is part of his nature.

Man!  Know thyself! as the evil being that you are, the ultimate killer who stalks Life itself, so that what is life-giving in you, of Eros, may keep the death-dealer in check.  It is a hard thing to know, one's evil nature, but it is the only source of hope, for us, for Life.

In The Spell

Unless one dwells in the spell of the Nonrational-- of romanticism, of the numinous, of mysticism, of magic, of mystery, of intuition, of wisdom, of power and strength and struggle, of religion, of holism, of ecology, of emotion, of the sensuous, of enjoyment, of esthetics, of passion, of vision, of the imagination, of the Deep, of the ancient, of tradition, of the Earth, of Nature, of biology, of instinct, of sex, of love, of the Dream, of creativity, of hope, of joy and ecstasy and bliss, of goodness and morality, of quest and its fulfilment, of striving and victory-- one lacks the inspired power to prevail.  And it all comes from Eros, Great God of Love and Life-Urge and Wisdom.

Love-Leads

Through human love, and love of nonhuman life, we can access the cosmic love that is Eros.  All love leads on to the One Love, the Love of All Life: EcoEros.

Treasures of Verden

The treasures of Verden are the symbol-objects that when combined magically (i.e., worn and borne by Drygand), recreate mankind as ecological.  Wildiar and Bilwit, the Twayne, together seek them all.

Verden (Dan, Norw)= earth [~Biosphere/Wyke].
