"a fellow student freind of mine from Korea went for a vacation in India... there he met a female prostitute who he made a "date" with...she happened to be a Tantrik Yogini...(Yoginis are used as a vesel...an adept has sex with her and then a student has sex with her and by these means the teaching which is beyond words is transmitted)...she offered to intiate him... he accepted...they went to a cremation grounds and by the light from the flames they had sex...but she warned him not to come...he being the typical nontantrik practitioner almost immediately had his `sneeze in his pants'...she was furious...and the things that she demanded of him as punishment...are so disgusting that i cannot relate them to you... he has since returned home to Korea...but has no will to do anything... but he always has the largest smile on his face." "a fellow colleague of mine (an Englishman) in Nepal had a tantrik guru with whom he would study...this guru was Aghori...one night they were visiting a cementary to meditate on the transcience of life...now in these cementaries the bodies are disposed of in four different means determined in a ritual manner...by fire, by earth (buried), by water (thrown in the river) & by air (left out for the vultures) so it is not unlikely to find corpses lying about...some with their heads cut off by people wanting to make skull cups...well aparently one of these heads had been dropped by a grave robber...for as he and his guru were walking through the cementary a black dog came trotting up to them carrying a human head...the guru exclaimed with joy..."Look, Siva has brought us a gift!"...with that he took the head and took a great bite out of it with relish...and handed it to his student...the poor lily white Englishman could not refuse the wish of his guru and so he also took a bite..." ________________________________________________________________________________ 3-foiled sacrifice [meditations on Bataille's corpse] This from _Gone Primitive: Savage Intellects, Modern Lives_ by Marianna Torgovnick, p. 108: During the twenties and thirties, [Michel] Leiris was a crony of Georges Bataille, who wanted to arrange a human sacrifice in Paris as a way of "loosing the sacred" and paving the way for a revol- ution which would flood the streets of the city with blood. Al- though the plan was secret at the time, Roger Caillois revealed its existence many years later. Human sacrifice was Bataille's special version of the primitive, centered on the Aztecs and based in part on D. H. Lawrence's _The Plumed Serpent_. Bataille's scheme had the modern twist that the victim was to sign a presacriticial agree- ment absolving his murderers of legal responsibilitiy. The legal considerations finally thwarted the plan, even though Bataille had apparently found a willing victim.... -------------------------------------------------------------- As for the the quote on Bataille: Hadn't seen it in MP, but its such a good story that I've seen it quoted (in less detail) in 3-4 places. Actually, the story is probably apocryphal. In anycase, the would-be human sacrifice was connected to B's secret society, Acephale, so it involved a whole community not just him. If your interested, the whole story (told only by R. Caillois --and he wasn't even a member of Acephale) is that they wanted to initiate a yearly human sacrifice to celebrate the anniversary of the beheading of Louis 16. But the victim had to be a willing sacrifice--no arbitrary murder. That problem was finally overcome when the group talked a terminally ill man into participating as the victim--but then no one would step forward as the executioner...Sounds very suspect.... There were, however, all sorts of unusual rituals performed at Acephale that we do know occurred such as 1) pouring blood at the Place de la Concorde to commemorate the anniversary of the beheading of Louis 16. 2) a highly ritualized visit to a tree that had been blasted apart by lightning 3) overall the rituals practiced by the group were very secretive, and have remained secrets to this day. 4) its sheer speculation, but I'd say its much much more likely that B practiced s/m than that he acquiesed to the planned human sacrifice--though it falls within the realm of the possible given B's views on the sacred and eroticism. -------------------------------------------------------- I do wish you luck doing battle with the Xians. All I know about Bataille and human sacrifice is that his book _Tears of Eros_ touches on it, and his introductory chapters to the trial transcript of Gilles de Rais dwell on it at some length. I don't much care for Bataille. I think he was a sloppy thinker who let his prejudices dominate his criticism in a way that his contemporaries did not. He didn't much like homosexuality. Nonetheless, his intro to Gilles de Rais is worth reading, as is the transcript itself. For another view of de Rais, see Arthur Evans's appealing but sloppy book: AUTHOR: Evans, Arthur. TITLE: Witchcraft and the Gay counterculture : a radical view of Western civilization and some of the people it has tried to destroy / by Arthur Evans. PUB. INFO: Boston : Fag Rag Books, 1978. DESCRIPTION: 180 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. A good post-Bataille look at some of the problems of sacrifice is by Annie Le Brun: AUTHOR: Le Brun, Annie. TITLE: [Soudain un bloc d'abime, Sade. English] Sade, a sudden abyss / Annie Le Brun ; translated by Camille Naish. PUB. INFO: San Francisco : City Light Books, c1990. DESCRIPTION: xvii, 220 p. ; 21 cm. I can't recommend this book too highly. Best book ever on Sade, IMHO. Another good book that touches on this area is by Julia Kristeva: AUTHOR: Kristeva, Julia, 1941- TITLE: [Pouvoirs de l'horreur. English] Powers of horror : an essay on abjection / Julia Kristeva ; translated by Leon S. Roudiez. PUB. INFO: New York : Columbia University Press, 1982. DESCRIPTION: x, 219 p. ; 24 cm. ________________________________________________________________________________ 4-"A little encouragement that came to mind" I the individual walk on a margin. If I all off that line, I have to take the blinde fold off. The margin of will is very this and slippery, printed deep on the page of the path...If you can, super glue yourself to it! I know I will! I The individual want to be alone mentaly. I do not want to be clutted with outside info. that is harmful to my being (ex: turn off your TV.) It doesn't matter what the next fuckup thinks, He is influenced by god and has no brain to call his own. Growth of the spiritual flower is always welcome, as long as the words christianity and dogmatism are not written on the package. The individual should step out of it's body, and walk around in the clotheing of the mind.The upper level of conciousness! All predudice should be discarded with the old shell, and openness to all experience placed into practice. For the sack of learing, act like the stupid fuck who has no brain to call his own, and see how people treet you; without respect! Be the Psychick youth, cladd in power ov true will, with the sexual vison of the SIGIL; the power OV creation. Through the cracks of society, the individual WILL have a hand in the direction of 'FATE' (their true will.) They will have an advantage over the rest of humanity. Power to the Temple.

Hyperdelic Fabrics by AMEBA ov San Francisco. Data Re-Processed by RE/VISION All material Copyright TRANSMEDIA FOUNDATION & G.P-ORRIDGE 1992. On Saturday 15th February 1992 a Morality Swat Squad from Old Species Yard initiated a Transmedia Soap Opera that explores thee myths and neuroses ov Left Brain Society. Deftly woven fabrications silhouetted thee fears Fundamentalism breeds to succour its peoples. Textperts dogmatised and stigmatised thee innocent in preparation for a media "Burning Time". In thee perfection ov postexistentialist politics this hysterical orchestration ov NOTHING, uncovered NOTHING, with a content ov NOTHING, achieving absolutely NOTHING. Nothing that was, except a seizure ov counter-cultural meme cortex, namely thee 23 yeras ov video, film and Performance Art archives curated by Genesis P-Orridge since thee 1960's. Irreplaceable and unique visual pieces by Antony Balch, Derek Jarman, John Maybury, Cerith Wyn Evans, William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Akiko Hada, Hyperdelic Video and ov course Psychic Television were spirited away without a receipt ov confiscation, nor has a list ov materials removed ever been supplied. Justification all ways generates condemnation. This act ov officially condoned vandalism was validated as a "satanic" amusemeant arcade originally, coumplete with mentally ill and financially rewarded "freaks". This was quickly dismissed by The Independent and Mail On Sunday as thee rectal tissue ov lies and abomination it truly was only to be perpetuated by a secondary episode, employing even less talented actors and actresses, concerned with a permanent scarring ov thee status quo initiated by an anonymous gay performance art documentation ov 11 yeras age (presumably thus a minor). To this day this forcible possession ov an historical art archive stands as a Last Will and Testameant ov a conservative whiplash debased in fiction and fueled by irony. To attempt to silence, discredit, and destroy artists by confiscation and isolation is a sickly reminiscence ov thee most violent, totalitarian and hypocritical Storical eras. To corruptly utilise artist's children as a callous weapon is thee product ov a degraded and ignorant system. This video was presented at thee ZAP CLUB, Brighton, England as part ov "PHARMAKON - a Symposium on thee Story, Evolution and Oppression ov Psychedelic Drugs on 16th May 1992. Due to thee above situation, Genesis P-Orridge was represented by a TV Monitor and thee digital messages now made available by RE/VISION as a public service. WHAT CAN E SAY?
