A Word, If You Will

by Ji Lee (link at end of page)

When the Elohim became alarmed at the doings of Mankind, their response was to scramble His languages.  In other words, they attacked the words.

When a wizard or witch wants to manipulate the medium, they use magic incantations - words of creation or destruction.

Words are the very fabric of our reality.  We perceive what is real to us by which words we use to describe the "out there" to ourselves.  Scarier still, when we listen to others and ascribe to their words some sort of uber-importance, then we allow someone else to create our reality for us.  If you are listening to Flox Gnus right now, then you are allowing the various functionaries within that organization to create your reality for you.

We manipulate picture and symbols as a form of highly condensed words.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, then think how much reality is created within you by simply looking at images.  It is a powerful thing to be the creator of images - to create within many souls the very fabric of their reality.  So what kind of reality must people see when they view vomit as art?

In Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell graphically illustrated the concept that people cannot conceive of realities for which they have no words.  By slowly reducing the dictionary of New Speak over generations, eventually people could not imagine whatever things the State wished them to avoid.  How like our current cultural situation is this?  Just look at what passes for language in the average text message.

Words are magical things.  All religions use them, whether it be Ohm, or nam myoho renge kyo, or the Lord's Prayer, or chanting Arabic phrases, those who follow such things are generally unaware that they have been socialized into creating a magical reality that someone else designed.  Why else would preachers preach, except to manipulate the medium of reality?

In most revolutions, the first to be slaughtered are the intelligencia and the artists.  The reason is simple - they people, wittingly or not, know how to use words and they cannot be tolerated in times when control of reality is of the utmost importance to those who seek to control it.


The Chinese culture knows the value of words.  They have a long tradition of meditating on characters and then transferring that essence to canvas in a process where the very language itself becomes art.  People like Wayne White do similar things with English words, while poets like e. e. cummings paint pictures with words (there is a difference).

One reason I have felt compelled to write since I was just a boy is that I have had an instinctive recognition of the power of words.  Like all writers, people who feel this truth seek to harness that power to some degree of success or another.  No one can deny that such men as the one known as Shakespeare mastered the technique.  Modern writers such as Tom Robbins are well aware of the power they wield.

As a child, I learned the old saw, "Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  What a sad little saying, since it inculcates a disrespect for the power of words that we all know is true, but which such sayings encourage us to deny.

Thing about it: the most powerful noun can be modified by a deceptively simple article like "a" or "the".  The largest and most active verbs can be completely turned around by nothing more than adding "to" or "for".  If these simple little articles and propositions can control the most powerful things and actions, then how much more power must other words have?  If we can invoke Satan with a word, then can't we do the same with God?

Words are reality.  We know no other reality but that which we can speak.  The more powerful a language, the larger its vocabulary, and the more it comes to dominate the thing we call reality.

In light of these thoughts, doesn't it behoove us to build our vocabulary and to take control of the language we use and that which we allow into our minds?  In fact, knowing these things makes it imperative that we turn off the corporate media and take control of our language and learn the power we have sitting right in front of us.  By taking control of our language, we control our reality, and conversely take away the power of others to create our reality for us.

Words are the core of majick.  They are neither good nor bad, but serve the intent of the speaker.  Take the word "cow".  To a Hindu follower, this is the word of a god.  To an overweight woman, this is the word of insult.  To a person urging action, it the word of blind obedience.  A simple word with so much power.

Consider your next word.  Use it carefully.  And the next after that.  Be aware of how you define your reality.  Control your inner dialogue.  Choose your terms to invoke the world you want.

We are all gods, and the power of that station is within our minds and at our fingers.  The smithing of words is more vital that we often imagine.

Most importantly, actively filter those words which you allow into your mind.  Consider the source that their intention in using the words.  Don't let others define your words, for in so doing, they are controlling your reality.

The Untouchables

Dust Bowl, Oklahoma

Once upon a time, there was a group of men called the Untouchables by the popular press.  They were idealistic Boy Scouts whose moral character (or lack of self-preservation shills) set them up as incorruptible law enforcement agents.

It was the 1930s Chicago.  Strongman Al Capone had cornered the market in booze, which at that time was the marijuana or cocaine of the US.  Liquor had been outlawed by ambitious do-gooders determined to make an entire country follow their bent morality at the point of a gun.

The only thing this misguided attempt at social engineering produced were some of the most notorious gangs and mob bosses in American history.  But the period of history in which is happened is notable because we today have stepped through the looking glass and are living a strange sort of mirror image of that time.

Then, it was the Great Depression.  A series of misguided attempts to goose the national economy of the US out of the doldrums had backfired and led to even greater misery.  Combined with the ill-timed Dust Bowl drought that wiped out America's central food producing region, it was a time of great suffering.

Back then, a number of folk heroes sprung up.  These were men and women driven by desperation and a sense of righteous indignation to rob banks, because they knew that the banks were the cause of the problems.

John Dillinger

Names like John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde, and Slick Willie Sutton became household names.  People rooted for them because they were Everyman fighting the Great Pretender.  They were the Robin Hoods and Si Pitungs of their time.  They were attacking the hydra head-on and people secretly supported and admired them, while publicly denouncing their unlawful ways.

In the modern era, we have no such heroes.  Instead, we have Batman killers and Sikh slaughterers.  They are anti-heroes, already victims of government psy-ops and social engineering before their victims are even cold.

Meanwhile, in government, the Untouchables are no longer the enforcers standing up to mob bosses.  Rather they ARE the mob bosses looting and plundering Everyman with abandon, with no check on their rampages.  Smoot-Hartley has become TAARP, and the only hew and cry the public can muster is "Audit the Fed".  Ron Paul, the voice of reason and lawfulness, has become the new John Dillinger.

In fact, the recent series of Batman films is a perfect metaphor.  The character that appears to be evil and uses symbols of fear is the good guy, while the Scarecrow, Joker and Bane, who use symbols of goodness and ancient righteousness, are the ultimate evil.  Hell, even Jimmy Holmes 'allegedly' wore a police-style uniform while committing his act of drug-induced terror.

It is the ancient majik come to life.  What is white is black, what is good is bad.

In recent news, the Obama administration (the alleged Man of Peace) authorized Fast and Furious to buy guns through strawman purchases, then give them to Mexican bandits to use in crimes, them blame Everyman for the crime and take away his rights.

Goldbag Sacks, by far the most evil of all corporations, has been caught with its pants down.  Yet, like a good whore, it has been paid for its services, rather than punished for its transgressions.

Hong Kong courts handed HSBC the right to evict the Occupiers, though they were perfectly within their 'legal' rights to do what they were doing.

Even Natural Rights have become Civil Rights, implying the civil authority granted them, so it can take them away, as well.

Bonnie and Clyde's demise

Heck, even the Pope is calling for global government, as long as his office is in on the deal, of course.

So here in the Mega Depression, we see ghosts of things past.  We have drought and banksters and folk heroes, but the tables are turned.  Now, the drought is a form of crowd control, the banksters have become the Untouchables, and the folk heroes are tortured souls fighting the symbols of good.  What's up is now down.

It used to be an Untouchable was someone good beyond reproach.  Now, he's a slick bankster in an Armani original.  Vampires have been turned into love interests.  A werewolf is a friend in the realm of majik.

Alice would feel right at home in this world.

It takes 2 to 3 hours of writing, a lot of reading and researching, and half a bottle of duty-free tequila to produce one column, and there are over 400 columns on this site.  If you want links, look for the PayPal "Donate" button on the top of the sidebar.  Anyone who donates will have my undivided attention, as well as mile-and-a-half long emails full of links and footnotes.

In the meantime, I'll keep spouting off without any attribution.  So there.  :p
