Lyrics - Track Comments To "black To The Blind" by Vader

"
My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us.
The
Five
Pointed
Star, with a circle in the
Middle, and the circle is
Red.
My colour isblack to the blind, but the blue and gold are seen of the seeing.
Also
I have a secret glory for them that love me."

Heading
For
Internal
Darkness"
Internal darkness ia a state of complete detachment from the world and otherpeople.
It is to be achieved with utmost difficulty and at the cost of one'sself and personality.
The term "darkness" refers to the state of primevalnon-existence rather than to any opposition to the ideologies of light."
The
Innermost
Ambience"
There's a lot of means for
Conversation and
Knowledge of the
Holy
Guardian
Angel (nothing to do with usual
Christian connotations).
This entity,
Deus
Absconditus (
Hidden
God), communicates one's
True
Will - that is,
Destiny.
The invocational styles vary from ascetism to the use of psychosexual forces.
Yet success is independent of our lust, however hard the practices are."
Carnal"
The person of
Austin
Osman
Spare (1888-1956) is a splendid exampleof misunderstood and forgotten genius.
Deserving the fame of
Beardsley,he is now almost unknown outside the occult scene.
Trained in ceremonialmagic under
A.
Crowley, he later created h is own
ZOS
KIA
CULTUS, whichcan be called "urban shamanism".
The famous sigilization, some
Chaos
Magick principles, etc. bear his influence.
Besides many breath-takingart pieces of painting he left several books where the passion of
Blakemeets
Nietzsce he's harshness."
Fractal
Light"
The lyric is a necessarily very general and simplified takeon
Chaos
Magick - a modern system of thought that allows forthe combination of mixing of all other systems and canonsas long as they suit purposes of a mage."
True
Names""
We are gods 'cause only we can create the ideasand systems in our holy brains."

Raping"
John
Whiteside
Parsons (1914-1952) - a brilliant rocket fuel scientistand one of the oddest disciples of
A.
Crowley, the
Beast 666.
Obsessedby the vision of
Whore
Goddess
BABALON, he was engaged in very complexpractises to incarnate
Her emanation in a woman's body.
The action wasdisapproved by
Crowley and, as some occultists argue, the dangerous rites
Parsons performed resulted in his violent death in a home explosion.
For his
NASA contribution one of the
Moon's dark side craters was named after him."
Foetus
God""
For the high point their teology consists of these two things:hissing at demons and skething the cross on their foreheads."
Flavius
Claudius
Julianus (332-363)
Roman
Caesar (
Julian the
Apostate) (361-363)"
What are the fruits of
Chrisianity?
Bigotry, superstition and persecution."
James
Madison (1751-1836)

President (1809-1817)"
The
Red
Passage""
The red passage of

Vision"

Dream"...to
Know, means possessing
Wisdom, to use
Wisdowm, means
Art.,but using
Art, means danger and sometimes warnings come too late..."
Black
To
The
Blind""
Black to the blind" is a quotation from "
BOOK
OF
THE
LAW" (
LIBER
AL vel
LEGIS), written down by
A.
Crowley.
Years later he commented it thus:"
The uninitiated perceive only darkness in night: the wise perceivethe golden stars in the vault of azure."
The same can be said of us,worshipping the
Goddess in the true riteless ceremony of existence."
Anamnesis"
The original and most fantastic
Gnosis (out of which the
Xtianversion arose) derived from leaskages from the
Egyptian mysteries.
The main body, however, died out with the priests who kept theirsilence.
