2024 - The Year of Thagirion, Massively Entangled Afterlife (MEA)

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and then stepped aside
Somebody else took his place and bravely cried
(I'm a Blackstar, I'm a Blackstar)

David Bowie, Blackstar

Massively Entangled Afterlife (MEA) refers to a metaphysical situation that occurs when large numbers of beings are killed instantaneously and in one go such as in the aftermath of the explosion of their star or one nearby.  From a ''spiritual perspective'' these beings would not know they were dead (as they would have no experience of ''dying'' or being murdered or something), they would continue to wander around the holographic ghost world constructed by their consciousness, together, with their shared unconsciousness, their sense of reality only gradually unravelling as clues appear in their experience that something genuinely improbable and unexplainable is going on.  The Ladder itself is all about realising that you are dead already and letting go of the pain of earthly experience but with MEA you would not necessarily get your own ladder, as is the norm, the ladders would become ''fused'' and will only resolve themselves in a shared ''Vanilla Sky'' moment*   The shape** of this ladder(s) would be determined by some kind of consensual blend of different life situations***  locally dominated by presiding egos or those with particularly high levels of will and determination, i.e. those who can continue to believe that they are alive the longest, less concentrated wills dissolving into the others metaphysical tempographic wake etc.  Following Dante's approach then could we see the MEA going through Inferno (2020s), Purgatorio (2030s) then Paradiso (2040s) but if this is an MEA what would that change about the way we are going to act? What difference does it really make if this is coordinated by demons or a demolition team?

Dead or alive, I am still going to Run for it.

I used to believe David Bowie's Blackstar was about the Sefiroth (the colouring, symbolism and the 10min length is a dead giveaway) but looking at it again to me it seems to be about the descent*** of the Luciferian (Gnostic) ego through the Qliphothic Labyrinth of Death (that colouring and symbolism is distorted along those lines), screaming out as it tries to hold itself together through the visions that assail it, continuing proclaiming itself a Blackstar as it seeks to merge with its Original.  There never was a David Bowie. A move to prolong the Ruach, dark or otherwise, placed where it is Labyrinth is the leap from the Dark Sun (Thagirion) into the Chaotic Void of Outer Space and the (anti) Primum Mobile (Thaumiel).  But leave, because this is not the Goblin Kings world, its not your world or Death's or mine or even Meas, the world is here for Sofia, for Sarah, for the Shekinah and it always was.  You are tripping if you think otherwise.  You and I, the Living Dead, if you will, have no power over Her.  If you run, you run with Her, if you return*, you return with Her.  The only alternative is Nothing.

I've never known life directly I've only known my consciousness of life.  I've never been ''in the moment'', the experience I have always following at least trillionths of seconds behind the original, like the rest of Sefiroth trail after Kether, or are left in the shockwave of Malkuth as she collides with reality.  When you can induce de ja vu any given experience can feel like memory, everything can ''feel'' like memory, like it already happened, do it now, and if you can sustain that state and move within it a great many mysteries await.  Not only is this experience we have of life the past, its also a memory of the past.  The moment, the ''present'' could be a trillionth away or trillions of trillionths, it makes no difference I will never taste it, it remains forever out of reach through temporal paradox, the Goblin King must die, at least metaphorically defeated, in order to finally live.  If only as an owl.

In terms of my own path through this has mostly been by way of Clash, Horror, Clockwork, Snatch.  However much I may have been tempted to Merlin, even though it was probably going to possess me, that path is closed to me now.  I should have already been on it.  But I was snatched.  And now I'm stuck in the middle with you.  So where to go from here?  If you want to understand Labyrinth, or this Qliphothic Hellscape its worth reading Aleister Crowley's Konx Om Pax, inspired by Wonderland where he is the Fairy Prince leading an Alice figure through the Sefiroth.  What we are experiencing, if not MEA, is the same principle applied en masse by the ''Sorcerarchy'' using the Qliphoth and ''Sarah'' as the shared consciousness we have which they are currently socially engineering via controlled demolition.  If nothing changes and this is what we have to go through, your favourite film may not be the one you need to take as it may play up to areas you are already pretty confident in but then we need to define ''need'' as it might make sense to keep up your confidence a least a little bit in the MEA.

Or, in other words, are you a Blackstar?  Are you a runner?

How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gangster)

David Bowie, Blackstar
