11:43PM - New Chapter

I turned the page - gotta burn the bridge. It's my way.

My best to each and every one of you.

6:53AM - To Be Alone

All of who I am and what I'm about depends on being alone. At times that's a tough spot to be in, to say the very least. Someone cant' sustain a discipline of meditation, astral projection, lucid dreaming, invoking, conjuring &c. contstantly having to seperate others' own oft times unconscious mixed messages, from one's own. Then there's the notion that anything that can be spoken or thought by its own nature is worth very little, in a spiritual context, anyway.

But we are social beings. It's a paradox; and one in which I've never really come to terms with. I likely never will. In the interim I speak to the Æthyr, out of a primal need, and many times than not because of my devotion to what I perceive to be right action I'm offered guidance by the Æthyr in my contemplations. I'm often mocked in this my way of getting on, surprisingly by the very same people who would have us believe they hold dear the same ideations in their spirituality. The irony hasn't ecaped me. Then very little does.

Anyway I've hung up the robe, literally, and now manage good til cancelled futures trades. Lo and behold I'm a day trader now; though it's really mostly a near all day and all night affair if you want any rest when laying down to sleep. My mother, who I'd like to believe didn't come back after passing, but know in my heart of hearts she did, I want to believe she'd be proud were she still alive. Suffice it to say not getting on well socially didn't and doesn't still stop with perfectly good strangers.

You can't know me, and could possibly never know me unless or until you know what it's like to be in a stadium of a million or more and feel totally alone.

Aleister Crowley, if memory serves, in MTP, stated unless you fit the above mentioned mold you weren't called to this path. Something about going stark raving mad if left alone in the desert.

But isn't it all just a desert.

3:21AM

Investor sentiment in the last week and a half has indeed been rife with both dread and euphoria. Being a cry-out free market system the psychology of the mass by the system's nature manipulates what the markets need to do in order to correct itself, via propulsion plays between mean pivots (past highs, lows, and closes divided by three).

Here's what we know: The markets have seen the first real sign of a possible downward trend and cancellation of the corrective contination of historic uptrends since the last part of last year and the first part of this year. The panic created was a result of the mass viewing the markets possibly being or approaching overbought using the 200 day moving average, $TRIN, $TICK, Market Profile, Time and Sales and a plethora of other lagging indicators, and it sent the markets plummetting. Buyers attempted to balance the boards and we've neither breached the high or the last arm of the upswing on the downside and are in the third, consolidating wave. We're deadlocked. The path of least resistance indicates the downswing will win seeing that it only has to travel a span of 5 points or less to breach twice, create a base and continue; as opposed to nearly 30 points it would take to the upside. The good news is 1370 in the S&P is a decent area of support, being backed by the 38% support Fibonacci level from this passed January at 1367.

If 1370 holds, in other words: if investors use sound judgement, and become mechanical and unemotional in their trading and make 1370 hold, the markets will correct itself far sooner than would be otherwise expected. If however the hysteria continues I don't see the markets balancing itself out in the short-term, if ever.

The worst thing that can be done presently is attempt to move the markets higher prematurely. A strong surge of overenthusiastic and noviciate investors will only add impetus to already definitive continuation to the downside. We want the move to be brief. Let's hope it is. Nay, make it that way.

12:13AM - RIP

Bo Diddley and Yves Saint Laurent have both passed away.

It's so the end of an era.

3:38PM - The Summum Bonum of Pure Price Action Swings: The War of DOW

Not a Quant and think calculus books are best served as foot stools? Not a problem. Think Technical Analysts are akin to undereducated Tarot readers in your locale's Town Square? I've got news for you: Most are.

After 6 months of backtesting in all manner of market conditions, I present a price action model that's adaptable to any style chart you may encounter, and it's 100% effective. In this business that's a rare thing indeed. The only other circumstance that's guaranteed is if index futures are downtrending sharks are hedging in Forex and 30 year U.S. Treasury Bonds; and by the way you may want to consider doing so soon.

Major Swings

1) The opposition must show conviction they wish to reverse the trend by stopping the trend and holding it briefly.

2) The opposition must then breach the trending party's line by surpassing their conviction level.
a) If the party line is breached only once then the same must also happen elsewhere in the proceeding trend.

3) All breaches after two are considered jockeying to create a base of the same low in price (for reversing downtrends) and the same high in price (for reversing uptrends) on more than one occasion.

4) Movement to create support for the base only occurs when the opposition to the trend temporarily loses edge to the trending party by ceasing to breach its own levels.

5) Support for the base and a change of trend will not occur unless or until the trending party moves lower than the base (in a downtrend) and higher than the base (in an uptrend).
a) Support for the base must not be considered established unless or until the bar, line or candle closes higher in price than the lowest low (in a downtrend reversal) and lower than the highest price (in an uptrend reversal).

Minor Swings

Rules 1-5a of Major Swings apply. The only addition is the arm of the last trending swing must be breached at least once.


In six months of backtesting in simulation of my model I averaged (moving) 15 points a day trading 3 contracts at 300 dollars a point: $540,000 gross profit.

I'm getting mine, and I myself like the idea of free - so, test, and enjoy.

11:02PM

Would you say magicians are a lot of a different sort? Now I'm not talking about your average run-of-the mill, easily persuaded and attached to social mores, such as the obnoxious jock we all knew in high school that as the years passed by, when passing him at the mall or whatever, is still on about that one great game he had all those years ago, and being empty, and without a personality, latches onto the first thing that comes along.

What I'm talking about are the people with the drive to understand the inner machinations of the mind and reality in order to mold reality. It would have to take one straight-up grounded and well-rounded person to be able to, say, evoke the entire Abramelin pantheon; wouldn't you agree? But who would want to, you might be asking yourself. The bold and the beautiful..

I've been around a long time. I've forged my path; lived it, and am now bored. I lived and loved the dread of conjuring demons -- I've been struck near dead by the bliss of the Universe. I've puppeteered countless thousands for one selfish or selfless reason or another in my magick.

And you should think to yourself why does he not care what I think.

The more you judge me and the less you challenge your own beliefs and thoughts is one step closer to your ruin; and I've ruined many. But who's fault's that?

9:45PM

My mind's made up. Despite there not being a woman alive I'm aware of who I'd want to bear my child, and agree to pack up and leave after term to raise the child on my own, I'm setting out to find a surrogate.

Candidates should a) have a propensity toward extreme far-left politics, b) prefer Caligula over Marcus Aurelius and c) be a Quantitative Analyst and a C.P.A.

A bit of a disclaimer here: Any attempt to change the rules per beating the street after nine and a severance package will result in loss of limbs and/or life; I don't play the legal game.

Serious applicants need only apply.

1:20PM - A Call For World Order: FED Pres. & Group of 30 in Israel

The Markets are so integrated that solutions can't be implemented by individual countries, Geithner said at a news conference in Jerusalem today. It's something we have to do together.

A cadre of savvy block investors, the panicking public and opportunistic analysts with disregard to outcomes are shorting the World's markets in unison. I'll admit I'm not long presently either, save scalping short-term pull-ups; but the new paradigm is here and being tested. Open a daily chart of any Index be it the Russell 2000, or DJ Euro Stoxx 50 or even the FTSE 100 and you'll catch a glimpse of our new Presidents strong-arming dead ones.

The superficial upward trend to save the U.S., and Multi-National, economy is broken.

Wars; interest rate integration; and trade embargoes and/or free trade agreements to align favorable odds in economic and foreign policy itineraries: it's in the past.

Geithner's plea and hint at radical regulation changes wont be seen as a reason to rally, either. Catch some of you at S4 to 50 even after the slaughter tommorow.

Salimondo, are you alive?

8:28AM

At no other period in the history of the U.S. Stock Market besides the Great Depression and Black Monday has there been a greater all-stops-out turning point as there exists today in the Market Indices. Our free market economy is either going to stay afloat or test abysmal undervalued and oversold depths - marked, in my estimation, by the outcome of today's cash market trading.

Monday in the Standard & Poor's 500, a champion of mirroring the state of the U.S. economy, reached a high of 1441, 7% higher than the 200 day moving average. Bears the rest of Monday from lunch to close Wednesday drove prices down 27%, blasting past the 25% retracement of a uptrend correction tested beginning last October.

If investors today forget about the numerous FED interest rate manipulations implemented to balance inflation and stimulate growth, that historically, one, not to mention two, large scale wars should have sufficed in that regard, not only will Lenin have been proven correct in his theorizing, but the Western World as we know it will see a political upheaval the likes of which hasn't been seen since the American vision of Manifest Destiny.

Make no mistake about it: terrorists aren't our enemies; our failing political and economic foundation is our enemy. To say we as a Nation are vulnerable at this point would be the understatement of modern history; and everyone knows it.

Taken all of the above into consideration, tangentially, confrontation with Iran from the U.S. would only play into the hands of those who should want to offically overthrow our government. We can't afford another war and survive as a Nation, and our ever-growing and disproportionately sized enemies know that, too.

Seeing that every single candidate running for President of the U.S. is chest-beating and waving knives at a stand off in a potential, and literal, gun fight, and are in denial about the state of our crumbling economy, I'd consider extreme survival preparations a conservative move.

And it should go without mentioning that none of the prats will be getting my vote - but I want to be absolutely clear where I stand.

5:31PM

Every market, every sector save hedging in put options in stock indexes tanked today. Gaps from pre-markets closed quickly and kept trending down all damn day long.

Financial movers sold on account of The Fed wanting more visibility in the Banking sector.

Light Sweet Crude is up $128 a barrell (13% increase in supply - which didn't even nudge a market trend reversal).

Close to a half a million more filing for unemployment this quarter.

Trade export inventories in surplus on account of outstanding trade deficits.

Consumer credit spiked by $USB 15 to $UST 2.6.

Pending sales of homes moving nowhere and growing in numbers for the fourth straight month.

And Bush's sound byte we're not only not in recession despite nearly three quarters of negative earnings, but we're nowhere near a depression.

All this is today's news.

Thank God for stop-losses.

2:28AM

The Rapture isn't an exit strategy.

8:30PM

The immediacy of the written word far out-shines and supersedes the frailty and weakness of the planning heart.

I'd love to be invited to a barbecue -- especially this time of year. Hell, even being acknowledged as living would do most of the time; but being somewhat like my own walking curse, I remind nigh everyone at all times without even willing it that attentions aren't placed quite where they should be and god damn the thinking man for pointing it out.

Feel; react; get off. Virtues?

Think about it.

7:42PM

I went from a surfer to eliminating others' bannners, ads, gifs, java, adobe, silverlight and all other unnamed and unwarranted plugins overnight; and I can formally dub myself a Sys32 Admin in training to boot.

Crackn' the universe ain't nothn'. Gettn' up on my 2 Quad 1 Terabyte machine is making me right proud.

Enough about me. What about you?

12:53AM

With the inundation of who done it? crime dramas having for the last several years gone from evoking in us repulsion and thoughts BEGRUDGINGLY unexpressed but lay on the tips of our tongues at dining room tables all across America, to a sort of its own depraved indifference, the right at not a moment too late have completed their campaign.

A limit may be imposed on the death penalty for child rapes.

7:06PM

For Pharaoh is the great power that overpowers the powers. Pharaoh is a sacred image, the most sacred image of the sacred images of the great one. Whom he finds in his way, him he devours bit by bit.
--Cannibal Hymn - Pyr. 407a-c

http://www.maat.sofiatopia.org/cannibal.htm

In the past, all religions tried to conquer the world, thereby causing infinite misery to mankind; nations tried to become empires, increasing said misery; men tried to rule other men, instead of ruling themselves. All this is over. The social, ethical and religious upheavals that have been shaking the planet since April 8, 9 and 10 of 1904 have as their purpose to produce this "division" of Established Churches, Empires and "gods of men" into their component elements. I am not my neighbor—meaning that, above the Abyss, I and my Neighbor are None. But if I said, "I am my neighbor", as do imperfect mystics everywhere, I would be affirming not love—for love presupposes two— see I, 28—30—but confusion, and my neighbor had better beware of me.

--Motta

26. These [Beetles] slay, naming your enemies; & they shall fall before you.

A profane slew a beetle before Ra-Hoor-Khuit, naming a person he considered his enemy; and soon after, the profane went mad.
An Initiate slew a beetle before Ra-Hoor-Khuit, naming a person he considered his enemy; and soon after, this person fell before him.
An Exempt Adept slew a beetle before Ra-Hoor-Khuit, naming the person he considered his worst enemy, that is, himself and soon after, he became a Master of the Temple.

AUMGN.

5:19AM - Chao ab Ordo

Judæic-Christian Freemasonry arose out of selectively choosing from or confusing altogether religious precepts of the Old, Middle, New and Late New Kingdoms of Egypt that either espoused or rejected polytheism. The theme central to the distinctions found between regular and irregular Freemasonry is whether or not a Creator God is acknowledged as having self-created out of Nun, the Abyss, or chaos, chiefly; and tangentially if this God is seen as a Supreme Being existing beyond our capabilities to experience by any means other than faith alone after life's end.

The Grand Orient of France and UGLE's infamous schism didn't come about because Frenchmen were Atheists; quite the contrary. The French disagreed with the English in their bias and exclusion of modalities in Theism, and dropped the invocation of TTGOTGAOTU. The Ægpytian Rite of Mizraim and later The Antient and Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim were born as a rebuke to UGLE's obstinacy and a reformation of Memphite theology; and from it is where Crowley drew inspiration to fashion his redaction of Rabelais' Thelema.

In Memphis was the great unification of modes of worship found in Lower and Upper Egypt, literally and figuratively. Where Nun and Atum were seen as the black and gold Solar Father Gods in the Old and Middle Kingdoms, Ptah became the all-encompassing Creator God in and from the first time creating Naunet who then with Ptah bore Nun and Atum. The Oedipal stages of initiation concerning Atum's offspring deviates little throughout the periods. Horus is still seen as the Pharaonic theophanic; but where Godhead previously rested in and with Atum, Atum's Father, Grandmother, and Grandfather are factored in.

Were it not for the Memphites men and women in the Near East wouldn't have had the opportunity to partake in the New Later Kingdom's New Solar theology of Thebes where Horus superseded even Ptah's station. Nirvana, Dao and Heaven were suddenly born.

But wait, don't Judæic-Christians have their carts before their horses? Which Heaven are they on about, before even Heaven was conceived? Ah yes, Oversoul. But that's Old Kingdom (or Æonic). We'll have our Masonry, Magick and Initiation irregular, thank you very much.

11:57PM

Odd bedfellows: Farber and Jefferies. Chaos & NLP in aid to H.G.A. and manifesting. Interesting. John C. Lilly would have liked to have seen it (Peace Be Upon Him).

That's all that's new, I regret to inform. Those still in Enochian or Abramelin I'd imagine are getting tossed around; as if anyone would admit they always had been.

The Kali Nityas, now there's an evocative venue worthy of experimentation and documentation. I heard the instruction surpasses Yeziratic grades, too. Maybe. I received a warning in a dream she gets jealous pretty easily and crosses over, though. Ergo: solitary for the long haul. A rare niche for few, to be certain, but damn didn't y'all make a mockery of the Shivite bent.

6:15PM - Reminiscing

I love them both, still. Share your heart and mind in two places equally and you'll learn a little something about equilibrium and respect; without either magick isn't possible.

Liz and 'Lil, I'll call 'em.
