1. The great and the learned have long debated how life began on this planet.
2. One popular theory is that life sparked into being when lightning struck a pool of water containing the right chemicals.
3. Another popular theory is that life came to Earth from elsewhere in the galaxy, perhaps on a comet or fragment of planet that exploded, and upon seeding the Earth began to evolve.
4. Yet another popular theory is that a god outside of the physical world created it for various reasons, willing life into being and then abandoning it to run its natural course.
5. The Elementalist, knowing consciousness to be the prima materia, laughs upon hearing all such nonsense.
6. There is no such thing as life; there is consciousness and the contents of consciousness.
7. The various fragments of consciousness incarnate into this world as the various creatures.
8. When these fragments of consciousness perceive each other’s physical forms through the sensory organs of their incarnations, it appears as if the physical world is the prima materia and that life has appeared on it.
9. The Elementalist knows this to be the Prime Illusion.
10. The physical world is a hallucination that is maintained by consciousness observing it.
11. The greater the number of fragments of consciousness that perceive any one part of the physical world, the more intensely real that part appears.
12. The apparent beginning of life on Earth, in proto-bacterial form, is illusory, as there is no such thing as time.
13. Life as a proto-bacteria, as with all other lives, is merely another set of perceptions that can be experienced by consciousness.
14. Life is precious because it is an incarnation of the divine.
15. All living things are incarnations of the divine experiencing the Great Fractal. Therefore, to cause suffering to life is to go against the will of the divine.
16. It’s not a crime to cause suffering to life if this should entertain the gods.
17. Few things appall the gods more than mindlessly causing suffering to life.
18. Each fragment of consciousness descends from a higher dimension into this physical world, and therein incarnates into a body. So begins each and every life.
19. Each of these bodies is fundamentally a vibration that resolves as different proportions of fire, air, water and earth, and from there to the infinite forms.
20. The fragment of consciousness ensouling each of these bodies is fundamentally a frequency that resolves as different proportions of clay, iron, silver and gold, and from there to the infinite forms.
21. The combination of vibrations of fire, air, water and earth and frequencies of clay, iron, silver and gold produce all the expressions of life on this planet.
22. Every form of life that could ever possibly exist exists within the Great Fractal, and always has, and always will.

1. Perfect bliss is boring to the degree that it is blissful.
2. It was in order to alleviate the suffering of perfect boredom that the divine forgot some of itself, and, in doing so, dreamed up the Great Fractal.
3. The first thing that the divine dreamed up was a sine wave.
4. The second thing that the divine dreamed up was another sine wave, perpendicular to the first one.
5. The rest of the Great Fractal is also composed of sine waves, each running perpendicular to a previous one. This is true of all realms within the Great Fractal, whether physical, astral, mental or spiritual.
6. The divine dreamed up the Great Fractal faster than it could observe itself doing so. As such, the divine was left with the task of exploration.
7. What we call the physical world is one of the denser realms within the Great Fractal. Being dense, suffering is more intense here than in the subtler realms.
8. The real question is why our fragments of consciousness incarnated into this world and not one of the infinite others.
9. The only answer is that the divine willed it so, on the basis that incarnating into this world was appropriate for our frequencies of consciousness.
10. One reason to incarnate into a dense part of the Great Fractal is because the frequency of one’s consciousness is so low that the beings in higher realms and higher dimensions would suffer from one’s odious presence.
11. Another reason is because one’s true will is to burn away the impurities within one’s consciousness as rapidly as possible, and the lower the realm or dimension the more possibility there is for this.
12. Every part of the Great Fractal is filled with the consciousness of the divine at every moment.
13. Some parts of the Great Fractal experience a higher intensity of consciousness. This occurs when multiple fragments of consciousness experience the exact same vibration at the same time, which itself occurs when that part of the Great Fractal entertains the gods more than the others.
14. The Tard says to himself: the physical world was created by a force that is outside of us.
15. The Elementalist, understanding the First and Fourth Tenets, understands that the Great Fractal was dreamed up by divine consciousness.
16. The Elementalist understands that this physical world is merely a subset of the Great Fractal, and one in which perceptions are bound by certain laws.
17. This physical world is created in the moment from being observed by the fragments of consciousness that have incarnated here.
18. If the divine should tire of this world, there are infinite others. It’s simply a matter of willing to incarnate into one of them.
19. The first world that God dreamed up out of boredom was perfect. This eventually, in its perfection, became boring. Thus a more terrible, more awesome world was dreamed up, as a downwards emanation from the first world.

This chapter is an excerpt from Elemental Elementalism, the foundational scripture of the new religion of the Age of Aquarius.
The pharmaceutical machine is turning its attention to psychedelics. Having finally milked dry the antipsychotic and antidepressant market, Big Pharma has sniffed out new profit potential in using psychedelics to alleviate mental illnesses. This new paradigm brings the potential for great benefits if we get it right, but also great risks if we get it wrong.
All of this research, however, is currently just data points, with no unifying theory to explain it.
Researchers understand that psychedelics can alleviate the suffering associated with several conditions, but they don’t understand why, or how to maximise the benefits of these mysterious substances. The danger is that they will never come to understand, because their science is based on erroneous assumptions about the nature of reality, and these erroneous assumptions prevent them from seeing reality accurately.
The vast majority of researchers in the field of psychology are materialists who believe that the brain generates consciousness, and therefore that all of the contents of consciousness are simply brain states. This is, in fact, the great delusion of psychology as it is currently practiced. The delusion is so prevalent that it’s rare to ever hear a psychologist challenge it. Anyone who does is usually shunned.
This materialist paradigm is assumed without any hesitation or doubt. One consequence is that all psychedelic phenomena are explained in materialist terms. Some researchers define a psychedelic as a high dose of a hallucinogen. Others group psychedelics based on which receptor sites they operate on. Inevitably, the psychedelic experience is explained (but only ever conjecturally) by a change in brain state.
The end result of the assumption that all suffering is caused by chemical imbalances: psychiatry has been reduced to dishing out pharmaceuticals. This is why modern psychiatry is next to useless (although it is true that a great many acutely psychotic people can benefit from being administered a sedative for a while). In this context, psychedelic sacraments have shown great promise, as a medicine that need only be administered once, and with a minimum of physical side-effects.
But in order for them to be properly understood, and therein properly utilised, psychological science will first have to outgrow materialism.
The fact is that psychedelics don’t alleviate suffering by altering brain chemistry or brain structure (at least not primarily). They primarily alleviate suffering by destroying spiritual illusions and delusions. The word ‘psychedelic’ means ‘soul-revealing’, and it’s precisely this quality that enables psychedelics to have their therapeutic effect. They reveal – in Aldous Huxley’s words – the fundamental all-rightness of the Universe.
In Western society, a great deal of suffering has resulted from the adoption of certain false metaphysical beliefs. The three most prominent false spiritual beliefs are: this physical world is all there is; the brain generates consciousness; there’s nothing divine about either this physical world or consciousness. All three of these beliefs are harmful, but the second one is particularly so.
If a person truly believes that the brain generates consciousness, then it inevitably follows that consciousness ends with the death of the brain. Because the death of the brain is inevitable, from there it follows that all experiences and memories of experiences are meaningless, because these are dependent on the brain and will disappear with brain death. Because nothing continues beyond the death of the physical body, there’s no overall purpose or goal to life here. It’s all just one bizarre fluke.
What remains to be commonly accepted is that this attitude leads to colossal amounts of misery, hopelessness and despair – and it’s not even correct.
If a patient comes to a psychiatrist in a state of existential despair induced by the apparent meaninglessness of life, the psychiatrist can do little other than commiserate on a human level (and perhaps dish out some pharmaceuticals). They cannot assure the patient that consciousness survives the death of the physical body and therefore that life actually is meaningful, because the vast majority of the time psychiatrists are materialist atheists. Christianity can’t fill the gap because no-one really believes it.
The uselessness of psychiatry, as it is practiced today, is why so many people take drugs.
Many addictions are fuelled by despair at the apparent meaninglessness of life. To get forced into existence as a mortal creature, doomed to suffer old age and death for no apparent reason, seems like a kind of torture. Many find this torture so excruciating that they decide it’s worth numbing the pain with alcohol or heroin. Others fill the gap with sex, power, social status or any of the other ape instincts that can substitute for a meaningful life.
Pharmaceuticals don’t help here. They can numb and stupify, and they can prevent the extreme agitation that often leads to fatal consequences, but they don’t alleviate any spiritual suffering. They don’t free people from fear of death. They don’t help people find any meaning in life.
Psychedelics liberate people from this spiritual suffering. They blast away the delusion that consciousness is trapped in the brain and doomed to die with the body. They reveal an entirely new world: one of meaning, purpose and fundamental all-rightness. This explains why there is a correlation between feeling mystic experiences on a trip and the therapeutical efficacy of that trip.
In other words, the more a trip helps a person to see beyond, the more suffering that trip will alleviate in that person. This is because so much psychiatric suffering is ultimately caused, not by material causes, but by spiritual illusions and delusions. The therapeutic effects of psychedelics lie primarily in their ability to dispel these illusions and delusions, and not until this is understood can the benefits of psychedelics be fully realised.
1. Justice is the principle that orders the social world and the virtue that orders the social world.
2. All understanding of justice in Elementalism is subordinate to the Law of Assortative Reincarnation and the Law of Attraction.
3. The Law of Assortative Reincarnation ensures that each fragment of consciousness incarnates in a part of the Great Fractal that is appropriate for its frequency.
4. As such, every deed of all one’s past lives still echoes in the nature of the world in which one incarnates.
5. Violent souls incarnate in violent worlds, gregarious souls incarnate in gregarious worlds, indifferent souls incarnate in indifferent worlds, withdrawn souls incarnate in withdrawn worlds.
6. The Law of Attraction ensures that, once incarnated, each fragment of consciousness attracts other fragments of consciousness that are appropriate for its frequency.
7. The frequency of each being attracts the equivalent good or evil energies; the vibration of each being attracts the equivalent masculine or feminine energies.
8. It doesn’t matter if the frequencies, vibrations or energies attracted by one’s consciousness cause suffering or not. On some level, whatever one’s frequency of consciousness leads to is justice.
9. Justice is met when the degree of suffering caused is equalled by the degree of suffering received. This can only happen in theory.
10. When observing unjust suffering, one can choose to act as an instrument of justice, or one can hold back and let karma deal with it. In either case, both the Law of Assortative Reincarnation and the Law of Attraction apply.
11. A person who punishes wrongdoers will incarnate in a part of the Great Fractal where beings are inclined to punish wrongdoers.
12. A person who refuses to punish wrongdoers will incarnate in a part of the Great Fractal where beings are inclined to refuse to punish wrongdoers.
13. Correctly applied justice moves a society up the Great Masculine Axis.
14. Incorrectly applied justice moves a society down the Great Masculine Axis.
15. Correctly applied justice moves an individual up the Great Masculine Axis.
16. Incorrectly applied justice moves an individual down the Great Masculine Axis.
17. The will of a society or an individual to apply justice through time is depicted by the Quadrijitu.
18. A society willing to apply justice is represented by the red of the Quadrijitu.
19. A society in the glory of the prior application of justice is the white of the Quadrijitu.
20. A society unwilling to apply justice is the blue of the Quadrijitu.
21. A society in the shame of the prior failure to apply justice is the black of the Quadrijitu.
22. Correctly applied justice is a gift to future generations.
