Just watched Maybe Logic again with my buddy Adam, who'd never watched it before. It never fails that Bob Wilson inspires philosophical conversations with people who've never been exposed to his work. Talked about E-Prime, Bell's non-locality, notions of circular time, a whole smorgasbord of things. Drinking a six pack of Killian's probably helped, ;-). RAW is probably more responsible than anyone else for my current outlook on everything. Sometimes I get caught up in other more specific pursuits, Germanic studies, Lovecraftian magic, CMT, but it always comes back to Bob.
It's not even so much Bob Wilson himself, but the things his work has exposed me to, subjectivity, libertarianism, precision of language via E-Prime, the whole cosmic trip. Just stuff that triggers my interests. It's like I'm searching for Truth(TM) without even believing there is such a thing, at least not as an absolute. Ties into the concept of Runa, I guess, as well as Xeper. Constantly seeking after more and more information, constantly trying to perfect myself and evolve. My biggest problem is trying to pursue these goals while also managing the mundane concerns of daily life. I hate the grind of managing money, bills, work, car maintenance, all the other little bullshit distractions that get in the way of Becoming. They drive me batshit. I think my biggest difficulty is taking the time to deal with them that they require, because that takes time away from the Quest(TM). I work towards getting to a point where the mundane and the Quest(TM) will dovetail, with Illuminati Books and such, but even then the I know the mundane will always be there. I understand fully the drive some have to enter a monastery, or the Abbey of Thelema, to get away from those distractions, but ultimately I view those routes as a form of cheating, of becoming a parasite on the larger society while pursuing Initiation(TM). I'm getting better at managing the mundane to support my Work, but I still hate it, and I think hate really is the appropriate term.
I shall struggle through the mundane, and follow my Will(TM), and come out the other side. Hopefully. It's all I can do.
