underworld metamorphosis
it seems that i have recently been coping with qlipphotic experiences in my own thoughts and actions, as well as in my encounters with others... so, i'm going to do what i can to transmute these manifestations with divine guidance... but in the meantime, rather than feed into any escalation of the darker cycles, i think that i really need to change my playgrounds and playmates until i can get a better grip myself, since i am the only thing over which i actually have any control... some of you will remember that i had an ex-girlfriend who actually did kill herself and haunted my dreams for the next six years... so, being involved in relationships involving sexual temptation and suicidal threats produces intense pathos in my psyche...
however, my own personal attitude towards death is one of patient acceptance, without intention to hasten that end. since i know for certain that one day i will die, i can only prepare myself for that inevitable time so that my affairs are as complete as i can manage at any given moment... but i'm certainly not going to speed up that ultimate end, if there's anything i can do to help it... i'm going to do whatever i can to enjoy and extend my duration as long as possible (maximixe pleasure, minimize pain, within reason).

` ` There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide. Deciding whether or not life is worth living is to answer the fundamental question in philosophy. All other questions follow from that. ' ' ~ Albert Camus

Camus had once said he couldn't imagine a death more meaningless than dying in a car accident - a death perhaps ironically appropriate, or perhaps simply tragic, for a writer so keenly aware of the absurdity and meaninglessness of life.

and of course, "the right ... to die when and how (one) will(s)." is includued in Liber OZ
further elucidation concerning the master therion's position on euthanasia can be found in a narrative essay called, "Felo De Se," which was originally published in The International XI:8 (New York: August 1917) ...also q.v. Sabazius's "Observations on Liber OZ."
