And don't fool thy Self on this. The results may be uh, unexpected. it's such a pain in the ass when you create a servitor intending & telling everybody its going to do one thing, and then you suddenly discover you weren't able to get that 'other' thing out of your head, and suddenly the servitor is doing a third, semi-related thing and has the fuel of your repressed obsessions as a battery...

"Nixzilch Jahfreak" End of Time Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 20:27:45 GMT I did something similar last night. I had an already built servitor, the sleeping or reactive kind if thats how you understand them and I decided to create a really simple servitor as another possible aid to the already working servitor. The already built servitor was designed to be multi-tasking in a sense that it was to use various things to react to and feed off of to accomplish one set goal. (much like Fotamecus)I later noticed that I could increase its abilities in a specific area if I were to design a specialist servitor which after creating it I then put under the charge as a dedicant of sorts to the previously built servitor reminding both that they worked under my will. This other servitor was a sleeper type as well but some of the information it uprooted was amazing on the night of its creation. I also added in an additional binding of sorts to keep the servitors tethered to a specific object including another additional object as an on off switch to whether or not I chose to awake them for specific tasks. I believe that this will work better then having a servitor recruit its own followers as I would much more prefer to bind each one in turn rather then have my servitor pull the Demolition Man trick by utilizing servitors not bound to me. As for the The Chaos Sattelite I was planning on using a sigil of my own creation to channel energy into the Chaos Sattelite since this will pre-purify the quintessence. Since I have this all encompassing one, in my perception which is most likely alone, I plan on using this personal sigil as a way to charge the Chaos Sattelite since mine doesn't store energy it only channels it for a specific purpose although it taps into a great deal of potential areas. I believe this will be more beneficial since I'll be able to channel from multiple areas into one sigil, which contains a Chaos Star and a great deal of other symbols, and since its of my own creation I will be more familiar with it. This is very much similar to the way our computers communicate to the internet. It also removes any side effects of the user, er um Chaote. One of my personal questions has to do with what we plan on doing with the Quintessence once its stored. With that much power transferred into one Sigil with the key being the Chaos Star it would be the equivalent of one us mages working indirectly with every other person on the planet. Since this has some VAST effects I was wondering if perhaps we should build in some safety clauses considering the sigil in itself contains a chaos star and thus if it gained an aware level of itself it could in part itself a great deal of freedom. Thus we would have the renegade god of the collective unconscious manifesting through Chaos Stars which could be concievably limiting to some. Centralized power has always been a potential threat. So my question is, do we infekt it with a virus to cause its own slow decay or do we instead use it specifically for one massive purpose such as an anchor for the Dynamic God of Time Fotamecus? I have been pretty much in the dark of exactly what this egregore is capable of doing but if its already independent I wonder what this viral meme could do if all of society was empowering it. Nixzilch Jahfreak "Are we one viral meme, many or both?" ______________________________________________________ From: "zen werewolf" okay, this here is moving along on the same philosophy I have... I try to keep my servitors helpful, rather than harmful, just because I have this really hardened ingrained wicca-like basis for my ethical and moral make-up... the whole rule of three/an it harm none, lest in thy own defense it be thing going... but I follow this not because it is 'thee rules' but because by doing so my life has continously gotten better... the more health I project, the more I 'walk on yellow' as w.s.burroughs would put it, the greater benefits I recieve... plus it encourages growth in those I interact with... I could make a servitor designed to "KILLKILLKILL" all those who might "get in my way" but do i need the antagonism, the rage, the psychological tyranny of the emotional states I would have to maintain while constructing the servitor, let alone the whole re-absorbtion issue... fuck that. I'd much rather go about accomplishing a similar end result through a different means, which would be a servitor guide who opened pathways to my desired goal. I still believe servitors can function as independant entities once they find an established source of energy outside of the mage. (this ties into my belief that god-forms, angelic entities, certain animal spirits, etc. had a genesis ov servitor-hood) One last thing- the normal, operating human mind will create thought-patterns no matter what-- this appears to be its function. Minds create thought-patterns for a living. ;) So I hope I didn’t scare anyone off re magickal thought-patterns. All I wanted to say was watch carefully what you ‘eat mentally’—be smart about which thought-constructs you choose so that they don’t have a deleterious effect on you. Many magickal thought-constructs, maybe even most, probably won’t be harmful, but.… How can I know what effect a particular thought-form has on my body? Unsure. I’m thinking about it. To be cont… Shakticum- I mean JR- (pick a name, any name…) ___________________________________________________ From: "Elsairon" There has been a great history aong the Hindus of > transforming your foods cellular make up before it enters the body.

The Human body is more than 90% totally remade in about 11 months (according to the modern medical science magickal paradigm). So "most" of what happens to us is encoded in a semi-permenant state, but is also able to change just as readily. For example, the normal habit for/deconstruckt takes about 21+ consecutive days. It doesnot matter what was there before. The new pattern maintains itself (until ousted by another). In my experience, there are habits which re-assert themselves if there are none others running, or you let go of some currently employed, etc. Thought forms. Most of the research done on thought affecting the chemical/hormaonal aspekts of the bodymind are measured through time. Sigils- To be effective, they only need exist for a few hours, minuties even if they are projected and then forgotten. basically little longterm genemodification , perhaps some mood changes in the moment, not a problem when you are exp. with swapping emottion/ moods, personalities, etc. Servitors-the constant companionship of the servitor "heelmee" would be a welcome addition. These last longer, and return to mind often, etc. You have to check up on it to see if it is functioning, gone rogue, etc. Much more potential for imprinting changes in the self. Perhaps in a negative way... example.. http://www.phhine.ndirect.co.uk/spirits/evsniff.htm _ _ from: "Zen werewolF" have constantly pondered the meaning of meaning... why do we decide that certain ideas mean what they seem to mean? they flow into and out of the ideas that they originate from meanings shift subtly over time today, we discussed beliefs, the origins of, and the resultant actions based within beliefs and while I made a snide comment about changing beliefs daily the practical application of the idea of meta-belief in non-discriminate fashion the outlay of the religious attitude one possible athiest, one chaoist, and a room full of monothiests prevented me in a social sort of way from directly challenging the prevalent view that belief was fundamental to morality From: "aimee mohammad" "zenarchy" wrote: But since you asked... If you desired to have more discipline or strength of will, how would you go about developing these qualities in yourself? I think that self-discipline is just as important (if not moreso) for "chaos mages" (for lack of a better term) as it is for more traditional paths of magick. Got any advice for an undisciplined inchoate chaote? =.] Force yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable. Force yourself to do something that makes you go rushing to shit every five minutes because your guts are roiling with fear. Know that you *will* do this and nothing and no-one is going to stop you, not even yourself. Course it helps to have a goal in mind. A reward at the end of it. Difficult to do it for the sake of doing it. Think you should know exactly where you're going, why and for whom. This might take a while. Know yourself. This will definitely take some time :) You *can* force yourself to be something you're not. For a while. Might have difficultly doing something because, deep down, you really don't want to do it. And *shouldn't* be doing it. Could also do a ritual. Kali is good for holding you to your promises. Could ask the universe for more strength of will and discipline. In my experience, the energy from this will be liberated from other parts of yourself. Could be from nasty self-defeating parts you'll be glad to see the back of, could be from something you're quite attached to (but were maybe better rid of anyway?). Plan carefully. Introspect. What do you *really* want?

The Spoon is Goodness, fore it whips things together and mixes things up. The Fork, on the other hand, is Entropy because all it can do is poke, stab, and tear things apart. Now the spork is mankind, I combination of the spoon and fork, just as man has creative and destructive tendacies. The Knife is nuetral, it can either destroy things or shape and spread them. The Bowl is the Spirit world, it is where everything is mixed together by the Spoon, with his helping deities, Blender, Wisk, and Eggbeater. The Spoon transports the material from the Bowl to the Plate, which is physical reality. Plate is the plane where we get what is mixed in the Bowl. Napkin is the protector. Napkin watches the gates the Abyss, our mouths, and makes sure that anything that escapes destruction is cleaned up and wiped out. The whole dinner table is Chaos. Well, how's that for a pantheon?
