Involution

By Michael Sharpe © 2004

Mutant adj. & n. adj.  1 resulting from mutation   n. a mutant form (Latin mutant- part French Mutare change)

Part I - Introduction, terms and ideas

Involution n. 1 the process of involving. 2 an entanglement 3 intricacy 4 curling inwards. 5 a part that curls inwards. 6 Math. the raising of a quantity of any power 7 Physiol. the reduction in size of an organ in old age, or when its purpose has been fulfilled (esp. the uterus after childbirth)

Societies progression over the past 10,000 years or so is minimal at best, at least up to about 100-200 years ago.  Many contributions have been made by key players, yet those innovations in thinking were only a beginning, a birth and have not been pushed to their extreme.  The progression of humanity is an exponential process, accelerating faster and faster with each generation, and the odds have been building since 1900.  More information has accumulated in the past 100 years that in almost all of history combined.  Mutation happens due to this influx of change, which is the result of a denser level of information being processed every second by every brain on this planet.  The result of this mutation is a radical change; a change not only in the structure of society, but a physiological change in the human nervous system itself, what previously has been called evolution but which I have proposed as Involution- the evolution of mutation; the development of a new factor within a closed system.

Involution is the process of active change within an organism, not propelled by exterior forces and pressures, or environmental stress, but interior forces.  This means willed change.  This model proposes that at a certain breaking point, evolution becomes an inactive force within the biological system of an organism. This can be likened to the boiling of water; once water reaches 100 degrees (at sea level) it ceases to get hotter and instead transmute itself into steam, a new form.  Evolution takes the organism, in this case the human primate, and drops it off at its own boiling point.  At this point, it is on its own.  No further change is provided externally for the organism.

This is demonstrated by the level of fulfillment of the bio-survival of an organism.  Mans primary survival mechanism, being is mind, has reached such a point that active though is no longer required to fulfill the biological needs of the species.  DNA is provided with the perfect vessel to secure its own production; man is made a machine in order to continue the DNA experiment.  What has happened is that due to the lack of evolutionary stress encountered by our species, no new change is made in the organism, and thus comes slow decay. 

We still have war, famine, death and disease as we have for all these thousands of years, yet we have those at all new extremes; we have them at a global scale.  Global communication has given way to global proverbial shit flinging.  The same politics the monkey once dealt with within its small 'society' is now being demonstrated on a mass scale.  All that has happened is that the human nervous system has changed its environment to suit its most basic needs.  The environment has been changed, but the species has not. Evolution for the mass of humanity stopped long ago.

Involution introduces, I should say reintroduces, the concept of willed change.  To some readers, this will sound much like Magick as defined by the notable Aleister Crowley, the ability to cause change in conformity with will.  However, the label of Magick is withheld, and all similarities will be drawn by the reader.

Willed change means that it is up to the individual organism to will a biological change within the physical apparatus of that organism.  This, of course, requires not only an understanding of the organism, but also an understanding, an existence of a Will.  It will be said by many that it is every human being right to a will.  To this idea I am in conflict.  Human are born with choice, and it is that choice that makes us "free" but not all men are created equal; they are created with the choice to be unequal.  This inherent quality of choice means that the organism has a choice to exercise will.

It would be all well and good for someone who was scrawny to claim he was equal with the man of muscle, but if he refuses to exercise, eat right and live right, there is no physical possibility of that scrawny man lifting a higher weight that the man of muscle.  This is limitation; these men in this example are not equal.  Like any muscle or mental function, the Will must be trained and exercised, and only with an active will can the organism will a biological change.

The survival of the human primate, "homonormalis" as it has been called, is the first and foremost priority of that species.  This means the elimination of all threats to that species.  These scabs, as they will be referred to from hereon in, are a pox upon the process of involution, the mutation of the human species; scabs are against the change of the individual, against mutation of the individual, against a further progress of the human biological organism. Further mutation would result in a new species, and a new species would result in the overcoming of them selves.  The scabs biological imperative is to prevent mutation, and further involution, from occurring within the human gene pool. Scab society has been structured in order to allow for the breeding of this species of primate, the homonormalis; not for the purpose of growth and mutation, but for the purpose of decay.

Mention around here the philosophy of decay, the moral code of the leech and looter and enemy of man’s further progression; the standard of stupidity, mediocrity, failure, obedience, slavery and all the other traits.

All around us in society we have everything to disrupt the biological change happening within the individual; we have organized sports as entertainment; Television be ruled by scabs propagating scab mentality.  We have religion, the weapon of the scab, the destroyer of the rational mind, which means the destruction of the individual Will; we have movies which propagate a desire for scab lifestyle; videogames to further scab thought pattern.  Reality TV is the latest addition to such repertoires.  We have national news, nothing more than a propaganda machine for the latest scab worry, created as a diversionary tactic, a tactic of control; the propagation of fear and security; a fear implanted by scabs rather than the fear of the mutant, which is the fear of decay and stagnation.  The replacement of a lust for results with a lust for the results of others, a lust for goods that are the product of others lust.

Yet there is "hope" if we may call it that. This hope is not the hope of the slave; it is the hope of the self-owned one.  It is the hope of a new species.

I have used the term scab for a few reasons, one being that it is a literary reference to a work I will not mention here; but as well it is the actual meaning of the word itself.  A scab is a lump of dead flesh used to cover over a wound until it heals.  Of course, this scab has a will for its own survival, but like any scab we may have, it will eventually outlive its use and fall off.  This does not mean the process cannot be helped along.

I am not here to deal with any specific technique of the process of involution, but instead provide an application of it exponents, offer a new view of life based upon the end result of this process; an ideal which, as unreal it may seem, is slowly becoming truth.  I offer the theory which the mutant can use in order to see this future becomes reality.  No technique for involution will be offered; it is expected that the reader of this small essay is at least familiar with many of the brain-change techniques available, and even of not on the path to mutation has felt the internal spur to such a process.

The question that often plagued me when I began my studies was not how, but why, and this essay is the solution to that problem.  Why do we do this, and what is to come of our mutation?  We are all becoming a new species; a new genetic mutation of DNA, and like the old we are forced to fight for the survival of our species, and fight we must for we are a threat to the scabs.  This fight will not take the stage of war as has been seen before in history; we will not fight with our muscles, but our minds.  Our weapons, our arsenal, our tactics and our purpose are just that: ours.  They have never been seen before; we have never been seen before. This earth does not belong to them any longer, it belongs to us. 

Not the morals of the slave-talk about what Christianity has done to mankind, how its values of slavery and self sacrifice have seeped into our very way of thinking, leveling much of our power to a guilt we would not have if we did not concede to live by their code of values.

Our vision is the vision of the future, not theirs; it is our minds and our wills that will produce their food, build their houses, provide their luxuries.  They will come to us, not us to them.  We do not exist for the sake of others, we exist for ourselves.  We do not believe in the beneficence of slavery, that weakness will rule over strength.  Pity is not for those who use our pity as a weakness; fear shall not be had for those who use our fear against us.  Guilt shall not be accepted for being what we are.

The end result of this involution has still not been fully witnessed by the mass of humanity, and will not be unless something is to be done; that something is The Reversal.

Part II - Reversal: Beyond Good and Evil

Maladaptive adj. (of an individual, species, etc.) failing to adjust adequately to the environment, and undergoing emotional, behavioral, physical or mental repercussions.

The reversal is the process of maladaptation, which is the primary trigger to involution.

This working process of involution is based entirely upon the contradiction of what is.  This entails a reversal which changes all mental and physiological polarities resulting in a very real change.  This change affects both the self and that external to the self, especially if this contradiction comes in the form of a mode of expression that can be communicated to another.  This process has also been deemed "undoing" and "initiation", but which I have deemed to call Reversal.

The basis of any change is destruction and the basis of any destruction is contradiction; the intermingling of two opposite and opposing forces in order to create a new order.  Thus progress necessitates the need for death and birth (not life), but this conception makes the two a unity in which the end result is the active process of life as we know it.

Whether we are talking about the act of involution or evolution, the mark of progress, for individuals, business’s, religions, organizations, solar systems and all else is based upon this progression of reversal.

One of the most deadly plagues that have hit humanity in the time we can remember has been Christianity as we have been taught it.  It is based on a morality which requires the sacrifice of the stronger in order to keep the weaker alive. By strong I mean those with a will towards change and weak I mean those with a will towards sterility, action vs. inaction.  Self sacrifice for the needs of another is not morality or virtue, it is slavery; sorrow and suffering deemed a virtue is foolishness.  It is a religion that preaches that suffering is the gate to happiness, abstinence is the gate indulgence; death is the gate to birth.  It has leveled man into a beast whose very nature is vile, and any man or woman who believes that the very essence of who they are is evil is one who will give up their will and their mind in an attempt to find "salvation" from a sin they did not know about in the first place.  This is the very heart of the Christian doctrine as it is preached today, and it is this ideal which I so vehemently fight.

This disease of Christian thought is not just in those who believe in its faith; it has gotten so far into our minds that everyone is infected by it; their ways of thinking are diseased by all we have been taught by its exponents.  Our laws are founded solely upon its philosophies and creeds.  Our philosophies and sciences are rooted in it.  Our educations systems, our businesses, our very countries are founded upon it.  It is the religion of the weak, of the scared, of the stupid and mediocre; and more than that, its ideas of sin and guilt and shame, of restriction and servitude have not left one of us unscratched.  Reversal means that the opposite of these standards are what should be strived for; if it is a creed of death, than its opposite must be the creed of life.

This means the productive, the strong, the powerful, the proud and mighty become the standard.  Production and human intelligence becomes the normal, not the weak and stupid.  People compete, not out of violence, but out of respect; they compete for customers, for profit, and they know that the better man deserves the most money, because the better man is more industrious.  This means that the weak will not be favored for their weakness; alms will not be given to those who can display the most negligence while crying out they are in the greatest need.  This means not supporting all that is holding humanity back.  This means leaving it on its own.  This is not evil; this is simply not showing pity for that which is what it is.

We have been lied to and extorted by the scabs of the world.  There truth is our demise; their values are the value of death, a social order based on their own weakness.  They are incompetent at running their life, but they will run yours; they know nothing about thinking, but they claim the right to control your thought; they lack any productiveness, but they claim the right to the products of your mind; they cannot exist in freedom, but they claim the authority to rule; they lack all means of intelligent living, yet argue for their right to vote in men of power.  They could not survive on their own, but expect you to help them to survive.  They have plundered our minds for centuries and told us that is our moral duty to let them.

The men and woman of motive, of action, the stars that shine their light on earth have been persecuted for as long as we can remember; persecuted because they showed the scabs what they really were- mediocre. These men and woman of value, those who stood in the face of fact, who ability to question the nature of existence, and to rely upon their own judgment; these men and woman who invented all that we have today, they were like us. Our generation is the one facing the same choice now, and the same horror.  Do we exist for our own sake or for the sake of others? I lay claim to my own existence; it is not a matter of whose property I am; it is a matter of whether I can be someone’s property.

I have decided to take myself back, and to take my earth back.  This is not a society of scabs; it is not a society of the mediocre, the weak, the outcast, the unintelligent- the slave.  This is a country of kings, which has been built by kings for kings, yet the scabs have been given control of it.  They lay waste to anything and everything, not for the sake of their own prosperity, but so that we will not prosper.  They seek the destruction of what they are not- us. They ask us to feel guilty for our virtues, which they deem as vices; they ask us to say we are wrong is what we are, and they are right.  They ask us to pray for forgiveness for our success; for our enjoyment of our life, our minds, and our prosperity.  They seek to alleviate their problem at the root, by damning us before we have the chance to prosper.

They preach it at our school, in our movies, on our TV.  They put its message on billboards and subways posters, on street corners and in our very homes.  It pollutes the books we read, the people we talk to, the clothes we wear.  It has become so common, it has become invisible, and it is made to destroy our intelligence, our spirit, our own sense of self worth.

To counter act such an enemy, I realized all that needs to be done is not give it sanction.  This entails not sacrificing your mind for the sake of others.  With this paper, I have taken this fight a step further; even beyond what I realized was possible.  We can take back our earth, and our world.  We can fight back using the weapons that they have discarded.  We have our minds; we have the ability to extend our knowledge and our field of power to almost unlimited horizons, just so long as we do not make it apparent.  Our power lies in our ability to act like a chameleon.  We can adapt to any environment, and inject our will upon it without being seen; we are the ninja of the mind, the thief of the night.  We steal minds, we steal knowledge, and we steal power.  In time, we will rise up out of the shadows, and the scabs will realize that their enemy had not retreated, they had withdrawn until the time of striking; and when we strike, not one shall go unheeded, and not one shall be left.  The enemy will be annihilated, and humanity will become as it should be, a race of the strong, of the proud, of the intelligent; of the strong in heart and mind, the mighty and the swift; the elegant and the beautiful.

I am not out to please with my ideas, but to lay a foundation for the Rights to exist for the mutants everywhere.  This road, the road of change, the road of will, is beyond duality, beyond all conceptions of good and evil save that which is in opposition to that will.  This good and evil is not projected towards nature, for nature is a singular phenomena; I say nature instead of reality because reality is a construct created by the human mind, and nature is where those structures of reality play out.  The realm of the mutant is the realm of the artist of reality, and thus the propellant of change and the author of the future.

The destruction of weakness, stupidity and mediocrity is what this essay is aimed at, and its methods are those employed by the rest of the universe, Reversal, contradiction, destruction.  The ideals of the scabs are reversed, they are contradicted; the moral code of the scab is not the moral code of the mutant.  This takes the individual and involves them in the active questioning of all upheld constructs, both in themselves and in the world around them.  This, however, is not aimed at a return to any former standards, for that would simply result in further decay of ourselves and our world; what is sought after from all this is newer forms of life, newer methods of change; a stronger, faster more intelligent race of beings; a better way of living; more focus on arts and sciences, more focus on progress rather than profit.  Profit is a positive side effect of progress, but it is not so vice-versa.  Profit does not lead to progress.    Profit for profits sakes leads only to what we have now, and that is not much, or at least not as much as there could be.

The end result of such a process would be a destruction of the old species, the old ideals, and the old way of life. I am not going to deny this nor claim that it is a bad thing, seeing as how this would simply be a natural phenomenon of involution.  It would be the result of involution, a necessary step in the progress of humanity and the change of culture and tradition.  How this is achieved by any individual is none of my concern; it is the concern of the scabs to protect themselves.  It is my concern, and should be yours, to grow beyond what I am, to continue mutating and increasing my way of living and my power. It is also in my concern to help others to do the same, for the end result of the involution of humanity would be the complete mutation of the planet, the human species, and our very way of life. Purpose is driven by the desire for change, and destruction is a necessary step in that process.  Old and new cannot co-exist. This town is not big enough for the both of us.

Within the bounds of the slave morality, their code of values, what I propose is barbarous simply because they know they could not survive.  They tell us it is our job, our DUTY, based on their code, that we protect them from the world; that we keep them secure, we help them breed stupidity and mediocrity, we help them destroy, pollute and degrade our planet, our reality, and our life with their disease.  We are to sacrifice all we have and are until we are completely devoured.  This is the code of the cannibals of the spirit and thus the enemies of life.  This is the code of evil, not good; this is the sin of restriction, the sin we are being asked to believe in and to support.  The loophole they do not see however is that for them to exist, they need our sanction, our stamp of servitude to their code of morals and values.  They need our permission; our permission which, once given, is our demise, our destruction, our death.  They call it the "virtue" of sacrifice.  They will put you up on a cross to atone their sins.

What they have forgotten in all their moral criticisms and virtuous sermons is that we have a CHOICE.  We have given consent to them and their ways and allowed them to do what they have done, to us and our world. Now I am proposing that we say no more- we withdraw our consent.  This is war; it always has been and now is the time for the mutants to strike back.  This is the Reversal- this is infection, and we are the virus.

Part III - The Virus

Virus n.  a harmful or corrupting influence

“Viruses utilize the host cell’s own biochemical mechanisms to assemble replica viruses, which are then released into the host.  Outside the cell, they are metabolically inert – plant and insect viruses can even be crystallized- so they are not strictly organisms in the usual sense

Exponents of my plan- not quit, but fight back- not give up as hopeless, but act as a complete army in oneself; knowing that one sanctions are in line with all others like one, and not worry about anyone else around. Involution of self, and thus society. Production of dangerous ideas.

Part IV - The Infection

Part V - Mutation

Mutation  n. 1 the process or instance of change or alteration.  2 a genetic change which, when transmitted to offspring, gives rise to heritable variations. 3 mutant. 4 a an umlaut. b (in a Celtic language) a change of a constant etc. determined by a preceding word.

Part VI - End game

Alien adj. & n 1 a (often followed by to) unfamiliar; not in accordance or harmony; unfriendly, hostile; unacceptable or repugnant.  b (often foll. by to or from) different or separated. 2 Foreign; of a foreign country.  3 of or relating to beings supposedly from other worlds; extraterrestrials.  4 (of plant or animal species) introduced from elsewhere and naturalized in a region.

1   Notes to keep in mind- these ideas may seem inhuman because they are.  They are ideas not made for human consumption, but mutant consumption.  It is for the alien in society, that which should not be but is.  Alien is all ways- find definition of alien, and its etymology.

2   How it is taboo to think of humans as being anything other than normal and natural.  Humans already ARE alien, but not yet fully, Goal is mutation, complete mutation into the end result of the human experiment.  This will mean a complete change of the earth; of economic probabilities, social normals, societal ethics, and human interaction.  Its complete mutation will mean a change in reality, a shift to something better which will lead to a species that values reason over mindless "feelings" that values power over weakness, selfishness over altruism.  A society based upon the "divinity" of each individual.

Other notes (from brainstorming)

-Basis- reversal of all commonly held beliefs;

Integration of the inhuman/alien

Replacement of the ant with the mind- specialization vs. generalization

Structures of belief uphold the values that are a disease to society

The destruction of these leads to more interesting forms of life

Not interested in saving people- overpopulation is already a problem in human soc.

Radical reversal of all held ideas, economic, ethics, moral philosophical and scientific

Will lead to the eventual arousal of a new form of species completely unlike man.

Concept of involution

Application of ideas on society, institutions, companies, individuals, etc.

Eventual resulting outcome of a chaotic system with leads to growth, spontaneity

And the uncovering of a more interesting modes of life.

Application- not made to say that "this sigil does this" or "mediate on that and you will get some power". This essay is directed towards what uses such techniques can be used for.  This means in Involution, not a revolution, since we have not seen anything like this before, but implies instead a form of selfish production, the creation of a world that is yours. First part of essay- theory, the model, the manifesto.  The second part is what techniques can be used to achieve this end, from art to TV and radio use (probably only piracy is this case.  TV is to well control) movie, writing, and random acts (HB Poetic Terrorism).

Magick must be raised, no only as a science in itself, but as an art, in that it is the inmost expression of the individual; it must become a movement with common aims in mind, yet moving above those aims by promoting selfishness, as well as promoting a practical ideal for a better future.  It preaches, not on the fact that humanity owns this whole earth, but YOU do.  This earth, the entire world is yours.  I would say ours, but it will only be ours by way of mutual agreement for the benefit of all parties concerned; if this were not so, we would be no better than what has come before us; we would become another altruistic illusion that hid the looters of money and spirit from our eyes; it would become another hypocritical load of horseshit.

Application of ideas is involved with the powers of causing changed an individual has- this change being oriented towards an extra, or ultra, terrestrial goal- the introduction of the alien

Talk about humans and how they behave- how it is taboo to think of humans as being anything other than normal.  Humans already ARE alien, but not yet fully, Goal is mutation, complete mutation into the end result of the human experiment.  This will mean a complete change of the earth; of economic probabilities, social normals, societal ethics, and human interaction.  Its complete mutation will mean a change in reality, a shift to something better which will lead to a species that values reason over mindless "feelings" that values power over weakness, selfishness over altruism.  A society based upon the "divinity" of each individual.

Up till now, society has remained as it has because it had no reason to change, there was no stimulation.  The impetuous now is CHANGE OR DIE.  If you do not change, you will be left behind, you will become obsolete.

This attack, this war on the populace, is not directed at any specific person, but directed at a way of life; it will be designed to kill the weed from its roots rather than simply cut the growth in an attempt to subdue it; which is all that has been done throughout history.  If we want our earth to be what we know it can be; if we want a garden of paradise, we must weed it.

Not out for debate, not out to argue these ideas.  Out for application; the expression of such ideas as this is considered inhuman, and that is because it is.  It is NOT in line with any form of ethics and philosophy today seen; it has no altruistic aim in mind; it is not meant to help everyone.  It is designed to uphold the strong and protect the strong from the tentacles of the weak.  It is not made to agree with any morality here-to-fore seen.

Relativity of morality- X-an as the program of the slave and coward; examples of what a morality of self-sacrifice leads to.  A morality that tries to find happiness in ones suffering will never be happy.

"Contradictions do not exist in nature".  You create a contradiction, knowing what it is, and it will necessarily lead to the destruction one who opposes it, simply because the nature of contradiction is destruction. (Idea of duality here)- Almost the basic formula here of the entire method of this war.

"In an age and time when backwash is considered normal, when mediocrity reigns supreme and stupidity is the height man is to aspire towards, there seems to be nowhere sanctified left to turn. Looking around, the eye can see is hollow bitter faces, McDonald’s arches glowing like a new crucifix to be worshipped. The herd is moving into visible site; its stereotypes, opinions, biases, assumptions and all the other puke it passes as "truth" or "reality" are becoming more absurd, more violent, and more extreme and blinder.  To this god we have been forced to bow; to this god we have been forced, or at the very least persuaded, to sacrifice ourselves. The rest of us, the ones who accept that this can’t be all there is, this cant be the end of the line, and this isn’t a golden age.  We have been told it was a golden age, a time of man, of reason, of morale good and patriotism; this is the big lie.  These are used as excuses so that we will give up our life, our world.  We will give up our own pride in ourselves.  All that is left to the people who do not accept is the unhallowed ground, the left over, the discarded; the reverse, the feared, the taboo."
