Um texto (que faz parte de uma música de Scorpion Wind) de seu nome "The Paradise of Perfection".
Escrito pelo Boyd Rice, figura demasiado séria e influente para colocarmos muitos detalhes sobre ele aqui, que é para mim uma referência do pensamento subversivo para além de ser um grande estudioso de Hermética no geral e gerador de grandes ruÃdos através do seu projecto NON.
Sempre apreciei o tom franco com que o Boyd diz as alarvidades que diz (e oh se as diz por vezes!)... damos por nós a concordar com os pontos de vista socialmente incorrectos com uma facilidade, que não podemos deixar de pensar que somos manipulados por frequências de som secretas, reservadas aos iluminados como ele, os COIL ou os Psychic TV.
Ou então os textos são mesmo do "agrado" universal; há sempre qualquer coisa de universal no que o Boyd escreve e acho que isso sim é que leva a que demos por nós a concordar com o que ele diz - por vezes temos de concordar com opiniões nefastas ou com pontos de vista chocantes.
Assim sendo, tomem lá e reflictam.
All men, inasmuch as they are not liberated from the bondage of time, follow
the downward path of history, whether they know it or not and whether they
like it or not.
Few, indeed, thoroughly like it, even in our epoch, let alone in happier ages, when people read less and thought more.
Few follow it unhesitatingly, without throwing at some time or other a sad glance towards the distant lost paradise towards into which they know, in their deeper consciousness, that they are never to peer; the paradise of perfection in time within so remote that the earliest people of which we know remember it as only a dream.
Yet they follow their fate away; they obey their destiny.
That resigned submission to the terrible law of decay; that acceptance of the bondage of time by creatures who dimly feel they could be free from it, but who find it too hard to try to free themselves, who know beforehand that they would never succeed, even if they did try, because at the bottom of that incurable unhappiness of man the deplored again and again the Greek tragedies, long before these were written.
Man is unhappy because he knows, because he feels, in general, that the world in which he lives, of which he is a part, is not what it should be; not what it could be; not what, in fact, it was at the dawn of time, before decay set in.
He cannot wholeheartedly accept the world as his, especially not accept the fact that it is going from bad to worse (be glad).
However much he may try to be a realist, and snatch from destiny whatever he can, when he can, still an invincible yearning for the better remains at the bottom of his heart; he cannot, in general stomach the world as it is.
In heralding the most widespread massacre, I believe that war is preparing mystical spheres for the apparition of great ideals.
Where the charnel house dissolves, joy will be born in from it; where the weight of mortality sinks down, the soul's freedom will be uplifted.
The greater the offering, the greater will be the wonder and the miracle.
