Listen, man, I’m not here to always coddle you guys. It’s the job of the prophet to bring the message of the gods to the people. And the people right now (as with the people every other time the gods felt the need to send a messenger) can be a bit shallow and self-absorbed. Even the ones who think they’re very smart and advanced are still a bit self-absorbed without realizing it. This means every now and then a bit of tough love has to come your way. Don’t be defensive. Accept responsibility for your own unconsciousness and resolve to grow. That’s the really sophisticated way to handle criticism and you can tell how childish or or how refined you are by the way you react to criticism.

I finally got into my vinyl for the music this week. I have set up a rather fierce aural threshold guardian you must pass through to get the glittery stuff. The way of the work always goes through the nigredo phase.

Ever deeper we go.
