1. There are physical pleasures, metaphysical pleasures, physical pains and metaphysical pains.
2. Physical pleasures involve an imbalance being restored to balance, as when a hungry person restores balance by eating.
3. Metaphysical pleasures also involve an imbalance being restored to balance, as when an ignorant mind restores balance by learning.
4. Physical pains involve a balance falling into imbalance, as when a tired person will suffer increasingly until they rest.
5. Metaphysical pains also involve a balance falling into imbalance, as when a person indulges the material world to such a degree that they lose touch with wisdom and come to suffer.
6. Pleasure strengthens one’s will to perform the action that led to the pleasure; pain weakens one’s will to perform the action that led to the pain.
7. Repeated pleasure and pain can normalise both.
8. Normalisation of either pleasure or pain doesn’t make the world any more pleasurable or painful. It merely changes the perception of it.
9. Because the world is indifferent, normalisation of pleasure inevitably leads to pain, and normalisation of pain inevitably leads to pleasure.
10. The intensity of either equals the intensity of its opposite.
11. Pleasure leads to an increased sensitivity to its absence, and thereby to pain.
12. Pain leads to an increased sensitivity to its absence, and thereby to pleasure.
13. In this sense, pleasure is the Summer Pole and pain is the Winter Pole. Both lead to the other, as night and day lead to the other.
14. When in doubt, consult the Quadrijitu.
15. Everything in this chapter must be considered with reference to the Fourth Tenet. Both pleasure and pain are illusions; the true nature of consciousness is without want.

This chapter is an excerpt from Elemental Elementalism, the foundational scripture of the new religion of the Age of Aquarius.
It’s natural for children to fight. Children fight in all times, all places and all classes. Some children grow up to become obsessed with weapons, and learning how to assert themselves using those. A small minority of children come to realise that they can put a wall of fighters between them and their enemies. This small minority grows up to become the magicians of the realm of silver.
The lower a man’s rank in the great dominance hierarchy that is our society, the more he will use himself as a weapon. Most men fall within the realm of iron, in which whoever can personally kick the most arse is the most highly ranked. But the leaders of men, those who can distinguish themselves above the herd through the demonstration of some merit, soon gain the loyalty of multiple arse-kickers. In doing so, they enter the realm of silver.
The realm of silver is all about directing the men of iron. If the men of iron are the tools, the men of silver are the hand that guides them. Every man of iron eventually realises that kicking arse is far easier than figuring out whose arse needs to be kicked. That latter task requires a great deal of mental energy, and so it’s outsourced to the man of silver.
In order to maintain his position in the realm of silver, the silver magician needs a unifying narrative. This is a story or myth that serves as a rallying call to those under his influence. It is the metaphysical equivalent of a standard. This unifying narrative imposes order upon a mass of people by regimenting their minds in the same direction.
Those who adopt a narrative from above, without thinking about it, become the sheeple. In this context, it doesn’t matter what the narrative is. In any case, the narrative will always act as a call to solidarity on behalf of some group that considers itself under attack. This group, brought to order under the narrative of one or more silver magicians, is the herd (of sheeple).
The sheeple get milked and fleeced by their ruler, and, at the worst of times, they also get butchered.
As mentioned above, the higher a person’s rank in the great dominance hierarchy, the more they will use other people as tools. Those at the top of the system use people who themselves use people. The king will have a personal herd of aristocrats who themselves each control a herd of underlings. This makes the king a mercury magician, above the realm of silver but still subordinate to influence from the realm of gold.
The ruling class, then, use herds of sheeple against each other. The larger and more aggressive the herd, the more political power its master has. Political influence begins when a person can muster a herd. A gangbanger who can bring twenty loyal men together loses to the chieftain who can muster a hundred, who loses in turn to the warlord who can muster half a thousand.
Many of the clearest examples of this can be seen in religious conflict, such as when Hypatia was murdered by a mob of Christians enraged by a shit-stirrer named Peter. Any priest of true standing ought to be able to whip up a mob willing to destroy any blasphemer or heretic the priest points to. It was through wielding such mobs as weapons that the Roman Catholic Church enforced their 1,200-year reign of terror.
Cancel culture, as described in Clown World Chronicles, is just a modern version of this phenomenon. When New Zealand Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt used his platform in the mainstream media to encourage baizuos to contact TradeMe and tell them that the ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ t-shirts sold by VJM Publishing were racist, and succeeded in getting them delisted, it was little different to how religious leaders historically silenced wrongthinkers by stoking mobs against them.
The way to make people into sheeple is to control their minds. This can be achieved either quantitatively, through repetition and brainwashing, or qualitatively, through logical and rational argumentation, or both. In practice, the more a herd is organised by quantity the dumber and larger it will be, and the more it is organised by quality the smarter and smaller it will be.
The reason why the Jews have historically held so much power is that they have had a slave army of hundreds of millions of sheeple known as Christians, who believe that Jews have been chosen by God to enlighten the world. The average Christian will defend Jews at all opportunity, will promote Jews ahead of his own kind and will follow directions from a Jew as if it was the Word of God.
The beauty of modern representative techno-democracy is that you can build up a herd by mutual consent. It’s possible to talk to people online until some of them come to look up to you and, if this is done for long enough, you will sooner or later have your own herd. The degree to which this herd will obey you is a function of the degree of solidarity they have with you, but that’s a subject for another essay.
The ugliness of modern representative democracy is that building up a herd mostly comes down to control of the apparatus of propaganda, and that mostly comes down to television control, and that mostly comes down to money. Effectively, the more money you have, the more you can buy loyalty. All it takes is for you to pay a few dozen journalists to tell their sheeple that you are the next big thing, and that’s usually enough to make it so.
The simple way to protect yourself from becoming a sheeple is to ask yourself, every time a media figure tells you something, “Who owns this person?” Almost inevitably, the media figure turns out to be taking a wage from an editor who tells them what they can say, and that editor is themselves taking a wage from an owner who tells them what they can say that their journalists can say.
The more complicated way is to seek out gold magicians and take a narrative from them instead.
1. Knowing themselves to be a fragment of the consciousness that is the prima materia, the Elementalist knows their physical body to be nothing more than a cloak of dreams that has been taken on to entertain the gods.
2. The physical body of the Elementalist, like everything that exists in the material world, is just a vibration being experienced by consciousness.
3. All possible vibrations are being experienced at all times.
4. All vibrations that exist in this dimension also exist in higher dimensions.
5. Every vibration that has arisen in this world, and then fallen, still exists in the higher dimensions, and in parallel dimensions.
6. Every frequency that has entered this world, and then exited, still exists in the higher dimensions, and in parallel dimensions.
7. Therefore, all beings that one encountered in this world but which have died, still exist in the higher dimensions, and in parallel dimensions.
8. When one’s fragment of consciousness shrugs off its cloak of dreams and reunites with the divine, it also reunites with all other frequencies.
9. In doing so, it reunites with all other lost and loved ones.
10. If a fragment of consciousness dies with the same frequency that you died with in your previous life, that fragment will, as per the Law of Assortative Reincarnation, be born in this world to experience your life.
11. You have already lived as every creature that exists in every world in every dimension.
12. Therefore, to be incarnated as anything is to be resurrected.
13. Each of us is a fragment of consciousness and is here to experience the illusion of separation.
14. The illusion of separation, and the Prime Delusion that comes with it, entertains the gods immensely.
15. After the death of one’s physical expression here in this world, one’s fragment of consciousness returns to the world above the physical, where there is no separation.
16. The person who knows that consciousness is the prima materia knows that resurrection in the physical sense is impossible, because the atoms of one’s body will recombine into other forms after death.
17. The person who knows that consciousness is the prima materia also knows that reuniting one’s fragment of consciousness with the divine is the same as the resurrection of everything.
18. Forgetting these secrets entertains the gods, which is why we incarnate into this world in a state of extreme ignorance.

1. The objective definition of virtue is the ability to overcome suffering in order to achieve one’s Major Aspiration.
2. The subjective definition of virtue is the ability to overcome suffering in order to achieve one’s Minor Aspiration.
3. Virtue is will exercised in the service of the divine, when mercury is in line with gold.
4. Virtue is activated rectitude.
5. One is more virtuous the more one’s true will is aligned with the will of the divine.
6. The first failure of virtue is a failure to overcome the Underconditioned Self.
7. The second failure of virtue is a failure to overcome the Overconditioned Self.
8. The Underconditioned Self is the beast that rises up from below, and which represents chaos.
9. The Overconditioned Self is the angel that falls down from above, and which represents order.
10. A failure to overcome the Underconditioned Self leads to violence, rape, filth and mayhem.
11. This entertains the gods only somewhat, because it’s indistinguishable from animal behaviour.
12. A failure to overcome the Overconditioned Self leads to saying No to life.
13. This also entertains the gods only somewhat, because it’s indistinguishable from death.
14. The Great Fractal can be compared to a single line that threads its way throughout all possible physical and metaphysical space.
15. Likewise, the will of the divine threads through a person’s life. Abandoning it causes suffering; following it alleviates suffering.
16. The most virtuous is the person who zigs when the will of the divine is for them to zig, and to zag when the will of the divine is for them to zag.
