The Galactic Dialogue: Occult Initiations

by Thad McKraken, Nick Margerrison (Editor), Angel McKraken (Editor)

It could be said that I didn’t choose the Occult, the Occult chose me. It’s a long story and you’ll have to read the book, but let’s just say that some sort of fifth dimensional weirdo showed up in my room one day and broke a primal thought sequence deep within me. The linguistic pattern virus installed in our conscious operating systems that insists on dividing the world into convenient shades of binary simplicity was instantaneously disabled. I knew I had psychic abilities, visionary schizophrenic encounters, supernormal powers or whatever you want to call them. But I also grew up in suburban Ohio playing basketball, drinking beer, and lusting after women in church. How on earth could these two worlds be reconciled, conjoined into one. According to Graham Hancock, shamanic cultures refer to this “real vs. unreal” binary thought disabling exercise as “submission to a higher order of knowing” and the other thing that this far out being telepathically imparted on me that day was that I had to start practicing magick. With a k. The kind Robert Anton Wilson got into when he went off the deep end studying Crowley on acid. “Hash Based Sex Tantra” as he called it. Come to think of it, why did I spend half my free time taking bong rips, jerking off, and watching internet porn? Maybe there was something to this slacker path I was treading instinctively. It was a means to escape the tedium of modern society after all. I’d only sprung for cable internet a few years prior and it’s amazing how quickly that soft addiction spiraled. Maybe what the universe was telling me “Hey, since you’re too undisciplined for the other spiritual practices you’ve read about like remote viewing and regular sober meditation, how about sex magick? You’re pretty much doing it anyway. Just try to increasingly focus on the primal desire for trancendent escape. When you saw Terrence Mckenna lecture he did go on and on about the supreme importance of ganj-i-tation now, didn’t he?” Sure enough, not long after I started casting sigils (or spells if you must insist), everything in my life turned around. I pretty much • Had psychick software updates installed in my internal soul structure. • Changed careers for my financial benefit. • Met my future wife and induced a sex transmission in her where I showed her my “godface”. • Developed a personal relationship with Christ. No, really. • Resisted the temptations of a daemonic guardian entity who quite hilariously taught me how to properly brush my teeth • Summoned my Holy Guardian Angel who educated me on the metaphorical nature of the Holy Trinity and how it relates to third, fourth, and fifth dimensional timespace perception. • Performed a Winter Solstice themed acid ritual where I received an internal transmission regarding the pressing importance of legalizing psychedelic drugs and keeping a magick journal. Read all these stories and more true believers, but make no I am trying to drive you insane. Pleasantly insane. So is the nature of Occult linguistic mindfuckery. Godspeed. Thad McKraken

Mixed

Supposedly autobiographical so the usual mix of fact and fiction. Actually a fairly interesting and illuminating rant. I find it impossible though to give much credibility or sympathy to anyone who refers to their job assisting the mentally disabled as ‘tard wrangling’. In real life a show stopper. In a book sure, an attempt to express/affect arrogance and disdain, teenage narcissism. It worked.
Struggling to find employment. Welcome to the rat race. Convinced the system is a vast conspiracy against the attainment of mastery - an ugly grinding crushing into dulled conformity and servitude. Every teenager knows that.
Sex, drugs and rock and roll. In abundance. We all exaggerate.
Lucid dreams, bizarre coincidences. Happens to everyone.
‘I’m so special. I’m on a mission from God.’ Not uncommon. Better than thinking you’re garbage, also not uncommon. Neither is true.
Higher planes of existence, higher beings. Demons. Whatever stimulates the imagination. Talking to them. Fine. If they talk back you might consider getting psychiatric help. If it’s real then God help us all ... only he won’t because he either doesn’t exist or is in on the scam.
Chaos magic et al. Useful metaphors for non standard approaches to life and consciousness. Great. Because the standard approaches are so fluffy and wonderful.
Never trust anyone who sneers as a component of their normal facial expression.

Content is 5 stars, but this book would have benefited greatly from a good editor.

A channeling

Straight, no-nonsense account of finding out all about our place in the cosmos. People are the universe's way of experiencing itself.

Confused, self-absorbed and lost in a toxic culture "Thad" still seems to get a flew things right and that's something.
