It is difficult to understand the infinite and the inexpressible contained,
albeit hidden controlled and repressed, in much ov the grey parade that is
called life, even within one's own mind; but to communicate an idea that is
beyond your own ego to another ego is almost impossible. The clclosest things
to transmitting such ideas are Zen Parables, or Koans, such as what is the
sound of one hand clapping, or what is enlightened Buddha being answered
by being hit over the head with a brick. The Temple represents colour, but
colour has to be seen, not intellectually analysed.
I justify my involvement with the Temple by saying, just as the present
world needs the Temple (love being such a rare bird) I feel the need to help
and be part ov something that represents evolution and a better future. I
personally have lost "friends" because ov their inability to perceive what the
Temple means (people conditioned by shit... who see in their little egos the
wearing ov a PTV badge as evidence ov a brainwashed moonie-type cult.
How can I be in a cult when I know only one individual even slightly
connected with the Temple?; yet people whose only knowledge ov the
Temple - love, the future, colour, magick as sublime poetry - is gleaned from
those who wish to climb up the intestines ov the machine ov Babylon by
slagging the Temple off, presume to know better). Magick defends itself, but
at times the gentleness I see in the Temple makes it a sitting duck for the
projection ov complexes ov the cynical, bitter and controlled. The Temple's
crusade to free the individual from control so s/he can grow focuses on
sexuality because it's the only thing everybody is involved with at some
point in their passage from birth to death, in whatever form. This is what
scares the repressed, the puritanical who seem intent on punishing a new
generation for the brief but vital progress that took place in the 60s. There
is no Temple sexuality: its sexuality is mine, yours, or that ov any other
individual involved. There is fuck all wrong with sex despite the macho-men
and unbelievable creations ov the media and the flags ov restriction put up
by both the political left and the right (all nasty oppressive illusions, not
only are all cliches true, but all paradox).
The methods ov the Temple are vital because ov the appreciation ov the
functional uses ov technology, the Magick ov the 1980s is filed on computer,
photographed and taped, rather like the tools ov control. As Peter the Great
ov Russia said: "our enemies will teach us how to beat them." The Cross is a
symbol. Like all symbols it helps communicate an idea quickly and focuses
the will. It is potent and harmless and very powerful. The nuber 23 is a bit
ov a situationist prank as nothing freaks out the flat people as this mystic
number.
The Temple = psychedelic + discipline
Individuals controlling their own minds themselves, by opening up.
