T.O.P.Y is.....
|
|
|
|
No matter how often we stress that thee Temple seeks to create a sense
|
|
ov fierce individuality, that it is for each Individual to redefine and
|
|
redesign TOPY within themselves to meet their own needs, thee questions
|
|
still arise: What is TOPY? What is thee Psychick Cross? What is thee
|
|
significance ov 23? It seems that there is still a need, or at least a
|
|
belief that such things should be cast in black and white, for a clear,
|
|
concise description ov exactly how TOPY should be viewed, ov how its
|
|
signs and symbols should be interpreted. Not that such questions can be
|
|
answered, certainly not in a way that would remain specific enough to
|
|
satisfy thee enquiring, yet broad enough to remain true to thee
|
|
multitude ov Individuals who make up thee Temple. As we have said
|
|
before, and no doubt will say again, TOPY exists to promote a system ov
|
|
functional, demystified magick, utilising both pagan and modern
|
|
techniques.
|
|
|
|
It is a process ov individual and collective experimentation and
|
|
research with no finite answers, dogmas or unchallengeable truths. It is
|
|
for each to discover his or her own understanding ov thee questions that
|
|
suggest themselves, and through that voyage ov discovery to find their
|
|
personal and true identity, thee True Will. To set down on paper
|
|
pre-packaged responses would be to deny thee opportunity for self-expre-
|
|
ssion, to defeat thee purpose for which we are all striving. Worse than
|
|
this, it would take away thee fun, thee simple joy ov finding things out
|
|
for ourselves.
|
|
|
|
Thee following texts are drawn from a variety ov sources, but all deal
|
|
with thee most common questions that are asked. Some are written by
|
|
Individuals with considerable experience ov TOPY methods, others by
|
|
those who are new to thee Temple. Some are taken from letters clarifying
|
|
ideas or criticising TOPY, others from more general places. We have
|
|
taken much from thee many responses we have had to thee Skills Access
|
|
form all Temple Individuals are asked to complete. Thee views expressed
|
|
are entirely those ov thee individual authors. They have been edited to
|
|
fit into thee structure ov this booklet, but in all cases we have taken
|
|
care not to distort what has been said, or to interpret what we as
|
|
individuals may find unclear. This is thee Temple talking to thee Temple
|
|
- a communion and communication ov Individuals to Individuals.
|
|
|
|
Before we go further, it should be remembered that people are attracted
|
|
to TOPY for many different reasons, that there is nothing consistent,
|
|
nothing to categorise. There are those who claim to know nothing, and
|
|
those who presume to know it all. This changes in time, as thee Temple
|
|
draws out strengths and eliminates weaknesses.
|
|
|
|
Everyone, without exception, who gets in touch with thee Temple is urged
|
|
to demonstrate their interest by setting out their own thoughts and
|
|
ideas, a first step in showing a commitment to what thee Temple stands
|
|
for. We are pleased that those who think they know little are at least
|
|
as able to respond as those with greater experience. There is no "right
|
|
response", and no shame in honesty. We thank all those who have
|
|
contributed to thee publication ov this booklet, and urge everyone who
|
|
reads it to follow their lead. As information flows in, so we will
|
|
ensure that it flows out. That is thee meaning ov Feedback, a continuity
|
|
ov expression flowing both in and out, creating a new understanding, a
|
|
new sound, a new dimension.

T.O.P.Y. is action against dissatisfaction in a society that is passive
|
|
not peaceful (aiming for the throat)
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the Institute Of Positive Pagan Nihilism
|
|
to the passionate process that enfolds
|
|
(but does not control)
|
|
there is hope through energy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Energies directed and multiplied,
|
|
energies conformed then deformed
|
|
energies facilitating psychick enemas.
|
|
To purge and purify,
|
|
to pain and putrefy.

To communicate is to cure.

-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth is a collective body ov Individuals, all
|
|
working together towards a common goal. It is about thinking deeply
|
|
about oneself, questioning one's role in a so-called free society.
|
|
|
|
Man is essentially a robot: he has set programmes imposed on his life,
|
|
even before he is born. Whatever Man does he should do with passion. He
|
|
should rise above thee imposed trappings ov society. Involvement with
|
|
thee Temple is purely active and positive, thee bottom line being: "I
|
|
don't want to lead a pointless existence, following and accepting thee
|
|
indoctrination ov a worthless society.
|
|
|
|
With Man's progress, our self-destructive nature drives us all further
|
|
from our true selves. In thee Temple we are a group ov people trying to
|
|
halt this process by turning into ourselves and helping others to
|
|
accomplish thee same. From birth, a person is conditioned to conform to
|
|
thee accepted laws and morals ov thee society in which they find
|
|
themselves - each institution and aspect ov our culture is intertwined
|
|
with guilt and fears in order to push us on to thee acceptable path.
|
|
Society is thus so easily capable ov moulding one into a flat, one-dime-
|
|
nsional person (thee socially acceptable yet controlled person). TOPY
|
|
goes to thee root ov thee problem, challenging us to honestly reveal our
|
|
innermost needs, expectations and desires, ov bringing them to con-
|
|
sciousness in the hope ov breaking society's Chain ov Control.
|
|
|
|
Involvement with TOPY can stem from an interest in investigating thee
|
|
potentialities ov thee brain: knowledge that has been massively
|
|
suppressed by those in Power. It includes making known information on
|
|
both a political/conspiracy level, and on thee level ov an Individual's
|
|
control over their own life. We have been taught to view thee State as
|
|
a crutch to lean on, to fill our heads with pre-packaged ideologies that
|
|
avoid thee need for us to think for ourselves and which create a society
|
|
ov dead, bored, apathetic people. TOPY counters this by fighting
|
|
conditioning and by allowing thee individual's true selves to come
|
|
through - at thee same time there is action/research to demonstrate how
|
|
all pervasive thee "spectacular" society is. By working together we can
|
|
pool research, theories and actions: this way forward avoids needless
|
|
2876
|
|
|
|
duplication and, where necessary, provides allies and support for
|
|
action. Much ov thee control mechanism ov society is based on guilt
|
|
about/around sex, it being easier to control a sexually repressed
|
|
person who thus always has a weak spot for thee Servants ov Power to
|
|
press. For this reason, thee Temple strives to destroy thee conditioning
|
|
ov guilt that lies deep in thee mind and which chains it to a mundane
|
|
existence. Through thee process ov freed (and free) love/sexuality thee
|
|
mind can be focused and channelled against all ov Power's conditioning
|
|
mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
Thee tools ov thee Temple are first and foremost those which lay us open
|
|
to thee reality ov life in permanent flux. Many techniques can be used:
|
|
trance inducing music, chanting, dancing - these can all help strip down
|
|
our outer mundane shell, exposing our inner core to thee free play ov
|
|
creative forces. Thee method most favoured by thee Temple (because it
|
|
is surrounded by thee most imposed guilt, fear and limitation) is thee
|
|
unashamed exploration ov sexuality. Fundamental to thee workings ov thee
|
|
Temple is thee belief that great psychic force/energy is released at
|
|
thee point ov orgasm and that this, if channelled, can effectively "make
|
|
those things happen" which will bring you closer to your ideal self.
|
|
|
|
This technique, and many more, can be found within thee many and varied
|
|
spiritual/magickal traditions ov thee world. It is thee aim ov thee
|
|
Temple, through practical experimentation, to extract thee core ov truth
|
|
running through all, and thus demystified to present a working formula
|
|
for any Individual courageous and compassionate enough to strike against
|
|
dogma, habit, guilt, fear and all that weighs on thee spirit; to strike
|
|
against flat monotony under all its titles, and to step into a magickal
|
|
perception ov thee world.
|
|
|
|
TOPY is a lifeline ov magickal people aiming to change society for thee
|
|
better through thee magickal transformation ov Individuals, and by
|
|
helping people to understand thee power and potency ov their sexuality.
|
|
A common mistake people make is that they think that TOPY is just
|
|
another fanatical religious organisation. They hear thee name "Thee
|
|
Temple Ov Psyckick Youth" and automatically assume its philosophy will
|
|
be an unquestioning dogma for thee masses. (Proving ov course that thee
|
|
society-controlled mass mind simply projects its crippled reality on to
|
|
those who seek to challenge thee orthodoxy ov thee moment.) However,
|
|
thee difference between TOPY and other groups is that we create an
|
|
environment in which Individuals have no choice but to find their own
|
|
answers in order to improve themselves. Thee emphasis is very much on
|
|
individual exploration. TOPY gives people hints and pointers, and
|
|
whereas other organisations may make it easy for people seeking to find
|
|
"answers", TOPY stresses that it is up to thee Individual's personal
|
|
efforts for anything to be gained. And it is a two-way process: as thee
|
|
Individual learns things from involvement with thee Temple, so thee
|
|
Temple as a wider body learns from thee Individual.
|
|
|
|
There are elements ov truth in all schools ov thought, but not one
|
|
single school can be thee "most correct" (no monopoly on knowledge!).
|
|
What is needed is to take thee parts from all - those aspects that seem
|
|
thee most logical and honest - and to discard that which perhaps reeks
|
|
ov theatricals; understanding thee use ov rituals, as did thee so-called
|
|
"ignorant" Indians ov America before thee evil Christian soiled their
|
|
pure mind (pure in that they understood thee deeper reality that is thee
|
|
essence ov magick). Many races and cultures ov thee world have stumbled
|
|
across truths in their religions. We should make use ov these and 2877
|
|
2877
|
|
|
|
develop our own minds in all possible ways.
|
|
|
|
Ov every organisation, TOPY comes closer than any to thee ideal ov
|
|
freedom. All areas ov life, especially those most taken for granted as
|
|
being correct and right, are called into question. Questions open up
|
|
possibilities ov thought and action, all in thee pursuit ov a sublime
|
|
happiness. Not only does this intense questioning stimulate life, but it
|
|
helps us affirm or reaffirm ideas and behaviours. TOPY allows people
|
|
more confidence and comfort - hence more pleasure with themselves - in
|
|
their own environment. Comfort is not laziness. TOPY further guarantees
|
|
freedom (something that no other social arrangement can do, except that
|
|
which evolves between very close friends) by not only tolerating
|
|
differences in thoughts and actions, but by encouraging natural,
|
|
intrinsic differences; that is, TOPY recognises thee inate potential
|
|
godliness ov being; and its methods, its Psychick Cross, its 23, its Ov,
|
|
can all help foster thee beauty ov each Being.
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple is a creative organisation, a place to share and learn.
|
|
Creativity needs to be freed. Time waits for no-one. We live once, so we
|
|
take the opportunity: Participation.
|
|
|
|
Is thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth a cult?
|
|
|
|
Yes, a non-existent one in that it exists as a cult only for those who
|
|
are uninformed and uninvolved. Thee Temple gives those involved positive
|
|
ammunition in thee war to relcaim ourselves, our world, our time, our
|
|
love, thee truth. To disconnect thee cables ov control.
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple az a non-organisation recognises thee reality ov Individ-ua-
|
|
ls. Thee power ov Individuals focused by choice to some common points.
|
|
We, as multi-dimensional peoples live yes and no; colours, not black and
|
|
white/either-or. There are more than two choices! Religion, history,
|
|
psychology, magick: integrated for individual use. Sucksessors? To thee
|
|
Surrealists and thee Hippies? Radical interest in political and
|
|
spiritual.
|
|
|
|
Sexuality as focus. Ov Power. Subconscious guns. Thee orgazm as divine
|
|
messenger. No denial ov sense-based vision. We are free! Let us stand up
|
|
to see it through thee veil ov control.
|
|
|
|
Many people ov small mind and spirit try to deny thee Temple its right
|
|
ov existence. They are so completely disillusioned and hopeless that
|
|
they demand we all be as miserable as they are. They call us crazy,
|
|
power hungry, ego-maniacs, perverse, money-hungry, non-sensical freaks.
|
|
|
|
O.K. Crazy? To change thee world we live in, yes. Power hungry? For
|
|
power over our own lives and destiny. Ego-maniacs? Yes, if as usual
|
|
their definition ov an ego-maniac is someone who wants to achieve, grow,
|
|
change and progress. Yes - WE DO THINGS! Perverse? Yes, and proud. Thee
|
|
rational ov thee world is no rationale. Sense? Right? Normal?
|
|
Whose sense? Whose right? Whose normal? No sense makes sense. Our
|
|
sexuality is our own. If you don't like it, leave it.
|
|
Money hungry? Sure. Money is but a way to get things done. Not thee only
|
|
way, but a way. Freaks? Oh yes! No, we do not fit in, we never fit in,
|
|
and we choose it that way, thank you. Fashion, morals, duty: they are
|
|
yours not ours. YOU keep them. A freak is someone with individual
|
|
motivation, separate from thee dictates ov past, present and future.
|
|
|
|
2878
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple is not for all. In this time/space or ever.
|
|
|
|
WE WERE. WE ARE. WE WILL BE. WE ARE AZ WE ARE. AZ WE ARE. WE ARE
|
|
AZ WE AZ ARE WE. WE AZ ARE. WE AZ WE. WE AZ WE ARE. WE ARE AZ WE
|
|
ARE. AN ETERNAL L-OV-E IN
|
|
|
|
TOPY is a collaboration ov Individuals. We fight all forms ov restric-
|
|
tion to realise thee potential ov thee human brain through a system ov
|
|
pagan Magick. It exists devoid ov dogma, be it political or religious.
|
|
Information is shared amongst those involved, not in order to be treated
|
|
as instruction but rather as a means to promote participation, dis-
|
|
cipline and contribution to an ideal as opposed to self-ambition. Thee
|
|
recognition that only truth counts. Rituals (sigils) are employed as a
|
|
means ov discovering one's true psyche, desires (and their realisation),
|
|
integrating thee conscious and subconscious as a way to produce a
|
|
spiritually whole person as opposed to a fragmented shell.
|
|
|
|
TOPY attempts to wake people up to thee fact that they are controlled,
|
|
socially programmed to suit those with an interest in control, and that
|
|
guilt and fear are weapons employed to suppress natural advancement.
|
|
Preconceptions must be swept aside and a de-programming occur until
|
|
fearless and guiltless sexuality is mastered. Thee Temple embraces
|
|
suitable forms ov technology to support its aims for collective
|
|
advancement. Methods ov information access include PTV recordings,
|
|
booklists, video deprogramming transmissions. These are all designed to
|
|
surprise, even shock, but with a view to expansion, thee removal ov
|
|
limitation.
|
|
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
It is difficult to understand the infinite and the inexpressible
|
|
contained, albeit hidden controlled and repressed, in much ov the grey
|
|
parade that is called life, even within one's own mind; but to commun-
|
|
icate an idea that is beyond your own ego to another ego is almost
|
|
impossible. The closest things to transmitting such ideas are Zen
|
|
Parables, or Koans, such as what is the sound of one hand clapping, or
|
|
what is enlightened Buddha being answered by being hit over the head
|
|
with a brick. The Temple represents colour, but colour has to be seen,
|
|
not intellectually analysed.
|
|
|
|
I justify my involvement with the Temple by saying, just as the present
|
|
world needs the Temple (love being such a rare bird) I feel the need to
|
|
help and be part ov something that represents evolution and a better
|
|
future. I personally have lost "friends" because ov their inability to
|
|
perceive what the Temple means (people conditioned by shit... who see in
|
|
their little egos the wearing ov a PTV badge as evidence ov a
|
|
brainwashed moonie-type cult. How can I be in a cult when I know only
|
|
one individual even slightly connected with the Temple?; yet people
|
|
whose only knowledge ov the Temple - love, the future, colour, magick as
|
|
sublime poetry - is gleaned from those who wish to climb up the
|
|
intestines ov the machine ov Babylon by slagging the Temple off, presume
|
|
to know better). Magick defends itself, but at times the gentleness I
|
|
see in the Temple makes it a sitting duck for the projection ov
|
|
complexes ov the cynical, bitter and controlled. The Temple's crusade to
|
|
free the individual from control so s/he can grow focuses on sexuality
|
|
because it's the only thing everybody is involved with at some
|
|
point in their passage from birth to death, in whatever form. This is
|
|
what scares the repressed, the puritanical who seem intent on punishing
|
|
2879
|
|
|
|
a new generation for the brief but vital progress that took place in the
|
|
60s. There is no Temple sexuality: its sexuality is mine, yours, or that
|
|
ov any other individual involved. There is fuck all wrong with sex
|
|
despite the macho-men and unbelievable creations ov the media and the
|
|
flags ov restriction put up by both the political left and the right
|
|
(all nasty oppressive illusions, not only are all cliches true, but all
|
|
paradox).
|
|
|
|
The methods ov the Temple are vital because ov the appreciation ov the
|
|
functional uses ov technology, the Magick ov the 1980s is filed on
|
|
computer, photographed and taped, rather like the tools ov control. As
|
|
Peter the Great ov Russia said: "our enemies will teach us how to beat
|
|
them." The Cross is a symbol. Like all symbols it helps communicate an
|
|
idea quickly and focuses the will. It is potent and harmless and very
|
|
powerful. The nuber 23 is a bit ov a situationist prank as nothing
|
|
freaks out the flat people as this mystic number.
|
|
|
|
The Temple = psychedelic + discipline
|
|
|
|
Individuals controlling their own minds themselves, by opening up.

TOPY WITHOUT TEARS
|
|
|
|
Most people, when they come into contact with TOPY, will do so via
|
|
Psychic TV. Whilst being a useful expression of and filter for TOPY,
|
|
this has been the cause of misunderstanding of what TOPY is about, why
|
|
it has to be here.
|
|
|
|
Firstly, it's important to say that TOPY is emphatically not a fan club
|
|
for PTV
|
|
|
|
- not a spin-off. While PTV are there for everyone to see, access
|
|
without thought, as it were, TOPY is something else - it "gives" to the
|
|
amount you "push". It lies behind, but is not contained by, PTV.
|
|
|
|
This much should be obvious. It is easier to say what TOPY isn't than to
|
|
say what it is.
|
|
|
|
Basically, TOPY as a "system" is an expression of the ideas and methods
|
|
of all the individuals involved. But TOPY "in itself" is harder to
|
|
define - it is the idealised Hidden Instrument of Evolution - the
|
|
"organum occultus". The hidden instrument is magickal- a synergetic
|
|
interaction of certain powers of the brain. It has no "direction". Its
|
|
centre is everywhere. Thus it cannot be "possessed". The hidden instru-
|
|
ment is the means by which inner potential "happens".
|
|
|
|
TOPY is about setting change into motion NOW. It's about questioning
|
|
authority NOW. It's about releasing the social function of subjectivity
|
|
from the doghouse. Letting the dog roam free.
|
|
|
|
All this is now. TOPY has arrived as an urgent force to overcome the
|
|
endless deferral of all this - the realisation of our dreams.
|
|
|
|
Our resource - our sincerity.
|
|
|
|
It is a synchronistic vector - the "dis-ease" being the dream of social
|
|
2880
|
|
|
|
and individual transformatin - of which we continually remind ourselves,
|
|
and struggle to realise, in our rituals, our work.
|
|
|
|
TOPY is an expanding system of caring and action - communication without
|
|
limit - MUTUALITY. We are aware that language alone does not suffice.
|
|
Too many systems expand in direct proportion to their insistence on the
|
|
dogma of their WORD. TOPY's method is to cut up the word, cut up
|
|
behaviour - to find meaning beyond the parameters of Control. To
|
|
re-connect at the source - our "spirit".
|
|
|
|
Therefore, it is not a religion, not a cult. We have no use for gods,
|
|
devils, "instruction". We have nothing to fall back on but that which is
|
|
in us. Everything we see is ourselves. TOPY is, in the best sense of
|
|
the word, a movement. The movement, the process, being continual and at
|
|
various levels simultaneously - spotting the lies, the disjunction
|
|
between socialised "givens" and our dreams, our real potential -
|
|
deciding to commit oneself to re-connecting with one's potential - and
|
|
doing. We have many "people" within each one of us - we want them all.
|
|
|
|
This is expressed in our ritual and all our manifestations. Our network
|
|
- our mutual experience and searching of TOPY.
|
|
|
|
The maturity of man/woman - that means to have reacquired the
|
|
seriousness that one had as a child at play. (Nietzsche)
|
|
|
|
Vide infra (SSOTBME)
|
|
|
|
As explained at some length in the Grey Book, the Temple's initial and
|
|
root method is the recognition and utilisation of our true sexuality -
|
|
the invocation of primal sexual energies latent in the subconscious. The
|
|
concept of "sexual energy" is, for the Temple, interchangeable with
|
|
"psychic energy". Sex is the medium for magick - the frequency of
|
|
truth. The sigil is its practice, the keystone.
|
|
|
|
...the significance of sexuality must be extended to embrace Reality, or
|
|
that which endures after all else fades... (Kenneth Grant)
|
|
|
|
In a very real way our sexuality is interactive with our behaviour as a
|
|
whole. With the Temple Method we cut up traditional sexual behaviour in
|
|
order to release the New Sexuality - new because it is everchanging,
|
|
ever regenerating. Thus liberating our real sexuality (everybody - every
|
|
man and woman is a man and woman), we liberate our behaviour away from
|
|
Control. We seek to deprogramme ourselves from harmful internalised
|
|
alienating stereotypes. "Control begins with sexuality" (TOPY). We seek
|
|
to reacquire the seriousness and curiosity that we had as children, to
|
|
observe and act without guilt/fear. If there is one simple description
|
|
of TOPY, it is that every involved Individual recognises the need to
|
|
overcome GUILT and FEAR of DARING TO BE. We "see below" in order to
|
|
"rise up".
|
|
|
|
New sexuality - ever youthful.
|
|
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
Jung saw symbols as "libido analogues", capable of transforming energy.
|
|
A representation channels libido (psychic/sexual energy) into new form
|
|
-invokes ever renewed potential. Symbols in themselves represent NO
|
|
SEPARATION. That is, the Psychic cross is a total synthesis of all we
|
|
2881
|
|
|
|
think of and mean by the Temple. For express purposes, and certain
|
|
time-zones, some of its components can be isolated, but ultimately there
|
|
is no separation. It exists of itself: the characteristic of all living
|
|
symbols.
|
|
|
|
Because the Psychick Cross has many "personalities", a multiplicity of
|
|
explanations, it is an ideal symbol for TOPY. Various significances have
|
|
been pointed our: the single vertical line as the Individual, bottom
|
|
horizontal as Past, middle horizontal as Present, top as Future. The
|
|
Cross of Jesus and the inverted Cross of Satan combined. A television
|
|
aerial. The alchemical symbol "very poisonous".
|
|
|
|
"We didn't choose it so much as the symbol chose us." A symbol of
|
|
disenchantment, uncertainty and challenge/change.
|
|
|
|
The point of all this is that, like a true Individual, it cannot be
|
|
pinned down.
|
|
|
|
Neither - Neither.
|
|
|
|
The Psychick Cross also incorporates the 23 mythology. The number 23 is
|
|
total neither-neither territory (Austin Osman Spare's mindfuck technique
|
|
- comparing opposites separate, together, then absent).
|
|
|
|
(But of course it isn't. It is just a number like any other, 22 before
|
|
it, 24 after, surely?) Except that 23, for us, seems to behave very
|
|
strangely. It has become a snake in the grass of reason. Thus the
|
|
exception; for the Temple always the exception. The Individual. Every
|
|
man and woman is a 23.
|
|
|
|
"A presence, neither good luck or bad luck, it seemed to have some sort
|
|
of control over its appearance." Like the Psychick Cross, 23 has been
|
|
isolated to symbolise certain concepts, random chance, Crowley's GET
|
|
OUT, Burroughs' total cut-up, Robert Anton Wilson's total paranoia
|
|
symbol. Its "common" (!) significance is its provocativeness, its
|
|
individuality, however one wishes to depict it. So, OK, you have your
|
|
cynicism, you may remain unconvinced, may not recognise TOPY, you see
|
|
everywhere human weakness and self-interest - but the next step is to
|
|
realise that cynicism is not a total answer, that the facade/shell of
|
|
ego/"cool"/style can, and must be, discarded before we grow once more
|
|
and enter a new "time zone" of evolution. Drop your shield, be vul-
|
|
nerable, thee wound is the reminder, you cannot remain untouched, so
|
|
touch yourself.
|
|
|
|
Enter the Combat Zone. The Temple has declared war. It does not do so
|
|
lightly.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. is an energy, fuelled with fiery Individuals who want change.
|
|
Change. People are too hung up with sex, with getting things done, so
|
|
they mess up. No-one cares anymore. To become rewarded is to give. And
|
|
to give is contagious, to create synergism.
|
|
|
|
The Self is who I am after, yet I cannot find her until I give her away,
|
|
and watch her without from within; then I can go. Egos are selfish and
|
|
jealous - to reverse the Ego is to open the mind; to be curious; to
|
|
recognise, to understand, to commit. Without altering the Ego one cannot
|
|
undergo the process. E to 3.
|
|
|
|
2882
|
|
|
|
I am curious. Curious and willing to learn. Tell me what I could do for
|
|
the group that would help me. Not really help, but INlighten. For we are
|
|
all out for INlightenment, for each one of us, ourselves, and for the
|
|
whole. First know to be yourself, then to help the group, then to know
|
|
you ARE your self.
|
|
|
|
For me I cannot "When in doubt - BE EXTREME"
|
|
Right now it's "When in doubt - Do Nothing"
|
|
I am curious Right Now.
|
|
|
|
CROSS!

|
|
Life is mediated by symbols. Symbols that steal. Numerical symbols that
|
|
steal our intelligence. Word symbols that steal our voice. Pornographic
|
|
symbols that steal our sexuality. Magical symbols that steal our will.
|
|
A death on your symbols. Let each kill themselves.
|
|
|
|
The Psychick Cross is a symbol that represents the idea of "without
|
|
Symbols". It is the first entry in a dictionary of the future Meta-symb-
|
|
olical language, a language of no-thought.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. is directed anger (which in itself is only Love). A foundation
|
|
set up to compile this "dictionary" which all WEs will need in order to
|
|
survive. A clearing house of symbols.

|
|
|
|
The Temple Ov Psychick Youth is an organisation that has been created to
|
|
further the ideas and feelings of those who feel that they have
|
|
something to contribute to the running of society. The Temple involves
|
|
a large scope of feelings and images that are connected to each other by
|
|
the potency of their own desires.
|
|
|
|
Firstly, the Temple as an organisation is created for those who feel and
|
|
believe that they can increase their own potential in body and mind by
|
|
pushing themselves to the limit of their durability, and do so in such
|
|
a way that they can find the limitations of their own body as well as
|
|
finding how far they can really go in producing a perfect understanding
|
|
of themselves. Unlike other creations, the Temple does not try to
|
|
coerce of push an Individual into doing what "it" wants them to do - the
|
|
contrary is true, the Temple encourages the individual to think and act
|
|
for themselves, perhaps offering gentle instruction as an aid to
|
|
success. The Temple remains as a haven for help where friends are
|
|
guaranteed. A spiritual as well as physical father. By involving oneself
|
|
with the Temple you find that the trappings of an autocratic society are
|
|
handcuffs to the spirit, holding you in place, disabling a mind,
|
|
disallowing it to think and act for itself - laying down rigid rules
|
|
that must be adhered to. The Temple, conversely, encourages us that
|
|
we need no regimented rules to survive, all we need is to expend a
|
|
minimal amount of consideration for our fellow people, to accept
|
|
differences in colour, ideas, sexuality, etc. Falling (sic), the rules
|
|
of our wonderful and enlightened society has led to nothing but war, man
|
|
killing man; religion playing a large part in the reasons for war.
|
|
Religion is another point that the Temple puts across. It shows us the
|
|
trivialities in religion be it Christian or Hindu. The idea of believing
|
|
2883
|
|
|
|
in a spiritual god - how abhorrent. It insults the intelligence to have
|
|
god and jesus rammed down our throats - Crass put my feelings very well
|
|
when they said Jesus died for his own sins, no mine. Religion is an
|
|
easy way for a frightened people to hide behind the eventuality of their
|
|
own death - it's okay, we will be going to a better life - what a joke.
|
|
The only temple/god we should worship is our own bodies - any sacrament
|
|
to be given should be exercise of the mind and body. Prayer should be an
|
|
introspective look into your own feelings.
|
|
|
|
The Psychick Cross is a symbol that is easily recognisable - and
|
|
therefore a medium through which publicity can be shown. Unlike the
|
|
"cross" the psychick cross is a very strong image of ideals, and shows
|
|
a firm belief in what we feel the Temple stands for; I know that when
|
|
people see the cross on my clothes - be it badges, t-shirts - and they
|
|
ask what it stands for, they will always associate it with the Temple as
|
|
well as Psychic TV. The strength of its images remains in the
|
|
subconscious, therefore leading to easy recognition.
|
|
|
|
The Temple roots its beliefs in magic where sexuality and mental
|
|
strength have always played an important role. This world is inhibited
|
|
by its narrow-mindedness of sexuality. The Temple shows us that we
|
|
should not be embarrassed by it, nor inhibited by it. This does not
|
|
necessarily mean infidelity, or polygamous behaviour. Free Love can be
|
|
practised between two individuals involved in a close relationship
|
|
because the restraints of society are prevalent in marriage etc. It
|
|
encourages us to be free - the most important aim for all humans - to be
|
|
rid of a repressive society and to develop together with no feelings of
|
|
materialism.
|
|
|
|
Although society is against us, too many people are unable to stand up
|
|
for themselves, they allow themselves to be carried along without
|
|
stating how they wish things should be done. If we work hard enough
|
|
though, perhaps one day we will have a world where at least the ideas of
|
|
the Temple are practised, even if they are disconnected from the actual
|
|
force and developer of those ideas.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Temple is a group of people who together, and individually, work to
|
|
combat any form of personal restriction. Quite simply we want to make
|
|
our dreams, and those of everyone else, come true.
|
|
|
|
We work on three levels, or ratios. On the first level we examine our
|
|
real selves, discovering our dreams, our potential, our REAL selves. We
|
|
then try to live our lives, realising our dreams and making the most of
|
|
what we have to offer (skills, abilities, etc...), thus following (to
|
|
use a rather archaic term) our destiny. Once an initiate begins to work
|
|
on this ratio, he/she has a chance to take joint control of the helm.
|
|
The Temple is constantly evolving: each initiate has the chance to help
|
|
dictate the direction of that evolution. In the 3rd ratio we work to try
|
|
and improve the world in which we live. At this level we try to act as
|
|
an evolutionary goad, pushing mankind back on course.
|
|
|
|
We realise that the only way of achieving anything is to help one
|
|
another. So whenever we can we donate time, money, ideas and skills to
|
|
T.O.P.Y. We receive no reward for this: no medals, no "I raised $100"
|
|
selling t-shirts. The reward is the knowledge that we have helped
|
|
someone else to realise their dreams.
|
|
2884
|
|
|
|
We are an international group, with bases in the UK, Holland, Germany,
|
|
Sweden, Canada and America.
|
|
|
|
As is obvious ("Temple" & "Psychick") we are metaphysically minded. Many
|
|
of our methods could be considered magickal. Magick is merely a
|
|
technique for helping us negate the effects of restriction and control;
|
|
and live (again that rather naff word) destiny. We are constantly
|
|
developing and refining our own magick. We do not believe in any great
|
|
powerhouse in the sky, any gods, angels, demons, etc. We have realised
|
|
that the human brain is capable of much more than it is used for. Our
|
|
magick operates within the human nervous system - and works!
|
|
|
|
Our magickal techniques are a little too "technical" to go in to.
|
|
Suffice it to say that one of our main sources of energy is sexuality
|
|
and orgasms. Sex plays a very important role in our philosophy as the
|
|
energy obtained from it is tremendous. As was said earlier, we try to
|
|
"touch our real selves". Our first stepping stone to this is the removal
|
|
of restriction placed on our sexuality by society. Once a month, or
|
|
more, an initiate performs a simple magickal exercise which is designed
|
|
to bring him/her closer to his or her real sexuality - as experienced in
|
|
sexual fantasies. There should be no holds on sex, one should be able to
|
|
enjoy sex in whatever way one, and one's partner(s), want to.
|
|
|
|
Our symbol, logo, emblem or whatever - the Psychick Cross - contains a
|
|
great deal of symbolism. The most obvious facets are: 1, it is the
|
|
reverse of the Papal Cross, thus making it an anti-papal cross; 2, it is
|
|
an "E" for Ego, backed with a reversed "E", thus representing the
|
|
negation of the Ego's role over the human mind.
|
|
|
|
In many systems of magick numbers are said to have meanings. 23 has
|
|
many meanings all of which are applicable to the Temple: Initiation;
|
|
Union of Fire and Water (symbols of male and female) - sex; Integration
|
|
of all levels of consciousness.
|
|
|
|
I first heard of T.O.P.Y. through the drunken ramblings of someone I now
|
|
find it impossible to describe. At the time "Godstar" boomed from his
|
|
room almost constantly. After this, a friend lent me "Dreams Less
|
|
Sweet". I bought a few records, sent off for some literature.
|
|
|
|
Previously, I had dabbled with THELEMA, which seemed to ask the right
|
|
questions, but gave the wrong answers. T.O.P.Y. seemed to ask equally
|
|
pertinent questions (and sometimes more so), and answered them with
|
|
nothing but Hagbard Celine's "Think for yourself Schmuck". As time went
|
|
on I became increasingly interested in, and in agreement with, the
|
|
Temple's ideas.
|
|
|
|
At last a decent magickal system. No more silly Kabbalistic rituals.
|
|
Simple, straightforward, and functional. A chance to help, however
|
|
little, however much. Perhaps even to meet people who've got better
|
|
things on their mind than taking the piss.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Temple is an international group of people who want to improve the
|
|
quality of not only their own lives, but of everybody. We have realised
|
|
that the life of the average person lacks direction and meaning. Human
|
|
beings are persuaded, by various methods, to do what they are told,
|
|
however subtly, rather than what they really want. Some realise this and
|
|
2885
|
|
|
|
"drop out", hiding the world behind a beer can or a line of coke; others
|
|
try to change the world. We are in the latter group. We try to do
|
|
nothing unless we really want to. We try to differentiate between
|
|
"pretend" desires programmed into us by society, and our true wishes. We
|
|
then try to live these true desires. That is what real freedom is. Our
|
|
method is, I believe, the most powerful. We use magick; not card tricks
|
|
or turning princes into frogs; but real magick (that's what the "k" on
|
|
the end signifies), which is a method of programming your own mind to do
|
|
what you want it to do. We use sex as a tool for elevating the mind in
|
|
much of our magick. Sex is one of our basic needs. It is also the most
|
|
powerful force we have access to.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
What attracted you to T.O.P.Y.?
|
|
|
|
The systematic use ov will power to make dreams become real. The
|
|
undogmatic appreciation ov the inherent potentials ov thee Individual
|
|
who wants to see and is not afraid to invest energy in finding their
|
|
true self, their true desires, and to act accordingly. Furthermore, the
|
|
new approach to Magick: a demystified system ov practical techniques to
|
|
extend the perception and skill ov acting consciously according to one's
|
|
own nature without guilt.
|
|
|
|
In what ways has T.O.P.Y. failed to live up to your expectations so far?
|
|
|
|
I see T.O.P.Y. as an active forum/expression/output ov thee assembled
|
|
energy ov its members. I consider myself taking part in thee process and
|
|
don't feel that thee organ has failed to live up to my expectations as
|
|
they are identical with thee expectations I have for myself in life. I
|
|
apply T.O.P.Y. in my life according to my own interpretation and accept
|
|
no dogmaa, and as long as I feel that my intentions coincide with
|
|
T.O.P.Y. and that its structure is based on mutual appreciation/trust/-
|
|
respect/challenge/communication then I invest energy in this forum. I am
|
|
curious/open-minded by nature. In thee course ov time and involvement
|
|
much is explained. I have no fear.
|
|
|
|
Explain T.O.P.Y.
|
|
|
|
Through education, school, inherited dogmatic value systems, TV, radio,
|
|
written/spoken propaganda people are continously deprived ov their self
|
|
respect as unique manifold human Individuals. We are systematically
|
|
discouraged by thee keepers ov addicts to Control from exploring our
|
|
real physical and mental needs and potentials. We are exposed to
|
|
constant programming, its main aim being streamlining ov thought into
|
|
unquestioned acceptance ov illusory satisfaction, leaving an unlocated
|
|
feeling ov frustration behind. Fear is the Key to Control/Manipulation.
|
|
Thee fear ov change/thee unknown/thee unsecure/thee unfamiliar - all
|
|
these block thee Individual longing for development/experience and make
|
|
him/her accept thee vast offer ov surrogates and substitutes in today's
|
|
world system. Those who are not contented with this pseudo-reality seek
|
|
other ways for deeper knowledge/realisation ov dreams, and create their
|
|
own forum/access point for mutual encouragement/support/challenge ov
|
|
individuality and will.
|
|
|
|
We are history, thee sum ov our ancestors. If we ignore our own history
|
|
and its impact on our lives, we are inclined to repeat thee pitfalls and
|
|
disasters ov previous generations. We dig our own graves as culture.
|
|
2886
|
|
|
|
Christianity has monopolised thee European thought system and thee use
|
|
ov ancient methods/rituals as a means ov recollecting force, and has
|
|
deformed its intentions to thee point where they lose every form ov
|
|
potence and sense while being refunctioned to "evil/dangerous mys-
|
|
ticism/occultism".
|
|
|
|
Ritual as Access Point to thee inner regions ov thee mind and focus ov
|
|
will into conscious action. . .thee threat to status quo in thee present
|
|
socio-political and cultural world-system. A society deprived ov its
|
|
history/past is a society deprived ov its future and identity.
|
|
|
|
Sex is thee primal key to thee mental system ov a person. It is thee
|
|
nucleus ov their own past, present, and future. In thee moment ov orgasm
|
|
thee brain is for a short period ov time thrown out ov/disconnected from
|
|
its subconsciously socialised/adapted thought-system. In this moment ov
|
|
disconnection thee brain is highly susceptible to new information.
|
|
Orgasm is thee Access Point ov de- and re-programming ov thee mind.
|
|
Storage ov subconscious information - thee seed to conscious action.
|
|
Attack on subconsciousness determines thee overflow to consciousness
|
|
latently transformed into concrete action.
|
|
|
|
Education/indoctrination has trimmed our minds in thee course ov a life-
|
|
time to fit thee demands/needs ov thee control units in society. We see
|
|
continuous re-education as a necessity in order to develop. Ritual
|
|
strengthens our determination to find and do our true selves and to
|
|
cross new borders ov knowledge and understanding, to avoid thee
|
|
obstacles to thee realisation ov our dreams. Through self-decided
|
|
"indoctrination/dedoctrination" ov thee subconscious mind we avoid daily
|
|
pitfalls in mental laziness and cowardice/compromise. Free sexuality
|
|
without guilt liberates our mind from inherent blocking mechanisms
|
|
between consciousness. Free flow ov information between thee brain
|
|
hemispheres brightens our eyes, makes us clear, strong and real.
|
|
|
|
23: Number ov "Coincidence" - thee genes in thee human being consist ov
|
|
23 chromosomes, blood needs 23 seconds to cross thee human body. A sign
|
|
ov life and death, its correlation and its unknown dimensions. Death/-
|
|
mortality - thee ultimate reference point for each human being. To live
|
|
fully without regrets or not. We are mortal. Here and Now.
|
|
|
|
Christians have their Cross - fetish ov guilt and shame. Christ on thee
|
|
Cross - symbol ov martyrdom/sacrifice for thee sinfulness ov thee human
|
|
race. Unworthy, godless slaves.
|
|
|
|
We repudiate - have our own fetish/symbol for thee immense possibilities
|
|
and dimensions ov thee human mind and vessel in life. Thee Psychick
|
|
Cross - an alchemical symbol for (magickally) dangerous material/know-
|
|
ledge. Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth is "danger" to dogmatic/streamlined
|
|
thought, that is to thee stability/status quo in present society/cul-
|
|
ture: thee seed to a new science/way ov living.
|
|
|
|
Magick: a system ov Will Made Flesh. We focus our will in collective
|
|
ritual across thee world on thee 23rd ov each month, and programme/-
|
|
tune-in our mutual wavelengths/sexual desires in thee moment ov orgasm.
|
|
Our will-power programmed in thee genes and assembled in thee liquids ov
|
|
semen/lubricant/blood/spit, and hair.
|
|
|
|
Thee features ov thee embryo is decided/determined through thee thoughts
|
|
ov sexual partners during coitus. Thought made Flesh. Will made Real.
|

T.O.P.Y. Made Real.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In answer to a cynical journalist:
|
|
|
|
Most people can't stomach the "missionary zeal", so to speak, so any
|
|
mention of a "Great Crusade to save The World" is right out of the
|
|
window. The Temple is there for those who want it - it isn't another
|
|
banal ideology, but a network of Individual interests where information
|
|
is relayed to one another on the basis of practical experience. You've
|
|
heard of synergy: the working together of two or more elements to create
|
|
an effect greater that the sum of the individual elements' output. Well
|
|
that's us! We support one another by our own efforts - like a latter-day
|
|
tribe.
|
|
|
|
What impels a person to work within the Temple? A dissatisfaction with
|
|
current societal values, perhaps. An awareness of possibilities within
|
|
ourselves that most recognised institutions of society, religious or
|
|
otherwise, either flatly deny or appear reluctant to expand upon. (As
|
|
social beings we have an inner need to express ourselves amongst friends
|
|
- interpreting "friends" as those people who can relate to you!) All
|
|
such answers seem a bit "rhetorical" to me, so we might gain a better
|
|
understanding of the "attraction" of T.O.P.Y. by taking a brief look at
|
|
the ideas and methods it collectively presents.
|
|
|
|
We take a very broad view - limitlessly so - of the means at our
|
|
disposal towards self-development. Jung called it individuation.
|
|
Aleister Crowley called it the realisation of the True Will. You may
|
|
call it simply "Maturity". From the lore of Magic (a much scoffed at
|
|
notion, superficially, in our high-tech rationalistic era; but isn't our
|
|
science the highest magic to a so-called primitive? And what arrogance
|
|
you have to deny the function of something you know nothing about,
|
|
despite its overwhelming history of practice?!), to music, to martial
|
|
art; if the perceptive individual thinks there is something worth
|
|
picking up on, we will attempt to pluck it out of the mire and use it!
|
|
That is why T.O.P.Y. is often seen in the "public eye" to "wallow
|
|
morbidly" in social taboos; or however else they choose to put it.
|
|
Life's too short and wonderful to run away from and/or wrap up in
|
|
unnecessary prohibitions/superstitions. So, cut out the crap! The Temple
|
|
brings together people who aren't afraid to try a little. The luxuries
|
|
of Western "civilisation" (loud laughter) also bring greater excuses for
|
|
us to get very lazy.
|
|
|
|
(The notion of forced commitment, street-corner proselytizing, I find
|
|
repulsive. We emphasise, more than anything else, the power and
|
|
cretiveness of the individual will; how that feeling can be shared
|
|
through communication and care. To force others to "join in" would
|
|
defeat the purpose of the network. How can I force you to be yourself?
|
|
[eg. forcing another to emulate my thoughts & feelings is no freedom for
|
|
the other person.] What the fucks the point? We can only provide
|
|
inspiration - no greedy Gurus infest this House.)
|
|
|
|
Why do I think T.O.P.Y. is important? Could answer that in several ways
|
|
I suppose. The workings of the Temple are not always to my liking, but
|
|
then, as a network with some degree of structuring/organisation, what
|
|
else do you expect? Humanity has yet to invent a machine that is 100%
|
|
efficient. And involvement with T.O.P.Y. does NOT mean you go along with
|
|
2888
|
|
|
|
every suggestion that's put forward. In terms of energy, feedback and so
|
|
on, you reap what you sow; just as with any human relationship (I use
|
|
that analogy quite intentionally). Anyway, I feel it is important
|
|
because - in an age of much insincerity - T.O.P.Y. is rooted in what I
|
|
ultimately recognise as COMMON SENSE. We seek to embrace the earthly
|
|
human condition, warts and all. We look at ourselves and recognise the
|
|
need to strive for personal goals; expand our often blinkered definition
|
|
of "self" by trying to utilise the new and the strange; experiment,
|
|
instead of wallowing in the "fear of the unknown"; reject dogma, reject
|
|
guilt, reject anything that leads to unnecessary anxiety - not by
|
|
pushing things to the side, but by confrontation. (The quickest route
|
|
between two points is a straight line.) Such ideas, although expressed
|
|
a little dogmatically here for the sake of brevity, outline a healthy,
|
|
strong approach to living. And it feels very refreshing to be amongst
|
|
friends who won't try to fob you off with more alienating politics or
|
|
mystical pap.
|
|
|
|
No, my involvement with T.O.P.Y. has not equipped me with easy panaceas
|
|
for the problem of Government, etc. We live in a complex environment -
|
|
I am the first to admit it. T.O.P.Y. has no manifesto up its collective
|
|
sleeve. Rather, we consider the situation from the perspective of "To
|
|
change the World you must first change yourself." It is no use disban-
|
|
ding the police-force tomorrow if they are all going to continue acting
|
|
in the same way to the people they picked on before!
|
|
|
|
(To amuse myself, I might describe involvement in the Temple as a course
|
|
in psychic self-defense for the outsider! But then you'd probably take
|
|
that the wrong way. The Temple is NOT a cheap sort of psychotherapy; no
|
|
psychic prescriptions from Doc P-Orridge, or anybody ridiculous like
|
|
that. Nobody involved in the network wishes to suffer fools gladly, and
|
|
the only people "assessed" are ourselves - BY OURSELVES. A little
|
|
eccentricity leads to a progression of ideas - stupidity does not! And
|
|
you must ultimately deal with your own problems, if you wish to reclaim
|
|
personal responsibility at all - a belief that is central to T.O.P.Y.
|
|
philosophy.)
|
|
|
|
Why the big profile on Sex in T.O.P.Y.? The fact that you feel our "high
|
|
profile" needs to be mentioned may provide part of the answer! As I have
|
|
already tried to indicate, the Temple strives to eliminate our (often
|
|
culturally inherited) feelings of guilt. We consider sexual energy to be
|
|
of great importance - its free expression is our very birthright, in
|
|
whatever way our nature inclines. The neuroses and psychosomatic
|
|
ailments resulting from high levels of sexual repression have been
|
|
catalogued well enough by now, without me having to re-iterate the
|
|
point. And guilt about one's personal sexual activities can be used as
|
|
a potent weapon in the hands of your adversaries - just look at the
|
|
gutter press. Sexuality is just that - whether it be expressed in
|
|
"fetishism", "homosexual" activity (a horrible, clinical expression if
|
|
ever I heard one), and so on. It's nobody's business but your own.
|
|
|
|
Having said that, it is obvious that many people - particularly the
|
|
younger - pursue an active sex life without recourse to massive guilt!
|
|
So why all the hypocrisy about its public expression? Why the hassle?
|
|
Evidently, the mass media does not reflect an accurate - honest -
|
|
picture of our feelings. The Sunday Sport continues to make sex and
|
|
sexuality an absurdity - something to sneer at. We wonder why.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. wishes to take sexuality a step further by investigating the
|
|
2889
|
|
|
|
powers we consider to be generated by sexual activity, so that they can
|
|
be used for the benifit of the individual. Every Individual. Orgasm has
|
|
a powerful effect on one's perception, body chemistry, bio-electric
|
|
field, etc., if only for a few moments. And we feel that the state of
|
|
being created can be put to use, in combination with intense desire.
|
|
Again, we are entering the arena of "magick" and ritual (all sex is
|
|
ritual); we are considering the so-called dark side of nature, and to a
|
|
TV generation brought up on Dennis Wheatley films, such ideas seem very
|
|
taboo. We wish to break down those superstitions - we have little room
|
|
for fear in such speculative areas - but we have no vested interest in
|
|
people agreeing with our aims and methods. (We are not out to harm
|
|
anybody, so please remain sensible and leave us be if you are scep-
|
|
tical/unimpressed.)
|
|
|
|
Of course you can't discuss sex without mentioning AIDS nowadays. To
|
|
counter popular misconceptions let it be stressed that the Temple does
|
|
NOT encourage orgiastic or promiscuous behaviour - forced promiscuity to
|
|
prove one's "liberation" is just a stupid and damaging as exaggerated
|
|
pruder; if it goes against your natural inclinations. I suggest you use
|
|
your common-sense and exercise responsibility. But, to give an example:
|
|
should someone attracted to their own sex no longer feel attracted
|
|
because circumstances dictate a certain degree of caution with the
|
|
choice of partners? We think not. Circumstances and the means of your
|
|
natural indulgence may vary quite a bit, but the right to "be and feel"
|
|
whatever you are does not. This must be kept in mind, as the puritans
|
|
cry out for "conformity" yet again. . .
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth, we are united, united in the differences
|
|
that constitute our individuality. At one stage or another all ov us had
|
|
reached the same crossroad. The roads were clearly marked - conformity,
|
|
control, suburbia, soap and no hope. The general flat planes that lead
|
|
to a hollow, wasted death. Instead, we deliberately leave the roads to
|
|
travel cross-country - to aim for the high mountains on the horizon.
|
|
There are no clearly visible signposts, no neatly maintained roads and
|
|
no resting points. The undergrowth can be extremely dense, the in-
|
|
habitants hostile and the speed of travel tiresomely slow. But etched on
|
|
the horizon, amongst the loftiest of mountains is a Psychick Cross. We
|
|
move onwards and upwards. This is the way of T.O.P.Y.
|
|
|
|
To travel with T.O.P.Y. is to map out your own route, to cross virgin
|
|
territory, often alone. You discover you pace, your own dreams of the
|
|
goal. Discovering your own philosophy of life, but instead of preaching
|
|
it you live it, and live it to the full. We may travel alone, but we
|
|
obtain strength that elsewhere in the wilderness others are planning and
|
|
travelling their own routes to the same goal. We may rendezvous, by
|
|
chance or by desire. We can then share, relate our travels and exchange
|
|
maps for we know that to fulfill our life we must help fulfill others:
|
|
open their eyes, let them help us open ours. Share our results and
|
|
tactics and help to change the maps of old. To lay new paths and roads
|
|
and satisfy the discontentments of society and its expectations and
|
|
limitations of an individual.
|
|
|
|
It is every person's basic right and task to be as they will, as they
|
|
truly will. The study is long and hard to find this will. Total
|
|
self-honesty is needed. The ability to touch oneself, no less. T.O.P.Y.
|
|
will encourage, suggest ways of touching at all levels and of all
|
|
2890
|
|
|
|
aspects, by using rituals and intuitive magickal methods specifically
|
|
aimed at getting closer to oneself. To integrate all the different
|
|
levels and aspects to develop a total, free individual.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. realises that every man and woman has their own potential to
|
|
achieve and live by. This can vary greatly within individuals but this
|
|
is the key because each individual's achievements are relative to only
|
|
that one person's potential. There is no competitive hierarchy as that
|
|
would serve only to stifle development. Each individual must ultimately
|
|
justify their every motive, action and belief to themselves. If they
|
|
achieve this then they are allowing T.O.P.Y. to achieve itself. It
|
|
cannot work in reverse. It can be hard. To start to truly look at
|
|
yourself can hurt. Strength, honesty and commitment are needed to move
|
|
towards T.O.P.Y. Sexuality is a key as within sexuality the restrictions
|
|
and constrictions of society and its controls can bite the hardest. To
|
|
liberate and understand one's own sexuality is to liberate and under-
|
|
stand T.O.P.Y. An individual who has learnt to express themselves
|
|
sexually can then use the lessons learnt here to inspire freedom
|
|
and development in other aspects of their person. Your sex and sexuality
|
|
belong to yourself. The energies it generates all come from within your
|
|
psyche. At the peak of sex the doors open, the barriers collapse and
|
|
there is no separation. The interchange between conscious and "sub"-con-
|
|
scious is complete. Using controlled focusing at this magickal time,
|
|
T.O.P.Y. individuals can make a conscious desire to move to the higher
|
|
levels of their own consciousness where it can take effect and help the
|
|
dreams become real. By truly understanding this process and tailoring it
|
|
to an individual's methods, breakthrough can be reached and you have
|
|
given yourself back to yourself.
|
|
|
|
These methods of sexual focusing provide the basis of T.O.P.Y. workings.
|
|
The results achieved here by the individual filter down through all
|
|
levels, all actions, all motives. All comes from within the individual.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. has a psychick symbol and a psychick number. Both of these are
|
|
woven deeply into the sub-structure. Both act as a focus, as a synthesis
|
|
of beliefs and actions; as a trigger. The Psychick Cross with its
|
|
horizontal arms in the ratio of 2 to 3 can be interpreted on many
|
|
levels: to signify the individual (the vertical line) with his/her past
|
|
(bottom line), present (middle) and future (top); a symbol of integ-
|
|
ration between opposing functions within an individual of T.O.P.Y. (3
|
|
E). The arms flow outwards from the Cross to symbolise growth and
|
|
discovery whilst at the same time they all draw inwards to focus and
|
|
synthesize this growth within the individual. A cross to sacrifice the
|
|
self upon; a uniform symbol to identify with, but like T.O.P.Y. itself
|
|
to be interpreted in different ways by different individuals.
|
|
|
|
The magickal number 23 is interwoven throughout T.O.P.Y. It is the point
|
|
of focus, to integrate, to dissolve. A time, a time for work, a date to
|
|
complete a task 23 times is to see it move deep within the conscious-
|
|
ness. A number that's history is proven and potent, one that occurs
|
|
internationally,irrationally and totally naturally. Like the Psychick
|
|
Cross, indeed like T.O.P.Y., 23 is the gateway, the crossover point to
|
|
internal focus and development and external flowering.
|
|
|
|
When there is no other way.

~ Thoughts on The Temple ~
|
|
|
|
The Temple Ov Psychick Youth is a body of like-minded, ageless souls all
|
|
striving in an individual manner towards a collective goal: a guiltless
|
|
state of self-awareness.
|
|
|
|
The exploration of our innermost desires by the release of the sexual
|
|
spirit, and thus the freeing of our emotions of dogma and external
|
|
control, is fundamental to the process by which the Temple achieves its
|
|
collective identity. The process is a deeply personal voyage of
|
|
discovery (the very fact of the emphasis of the individual testifies to
|
|
this), one in which the Temple acts as a guiding light, a processor of
|
|
information and its re-direction.
|
|
|
|
"No Man is an Island", and for this reason the Temple is both needed for
|
|
support in our battle, and as a focus for the support we ourselves can
|
|
offer. Its sum being greater than the parts, the Temple serves as a
|
|
sounding board for ideas, provoking thought which may under other
|
|
circumstances never have been given the right "culture" in which to form
|
|
and grow. Thus the Temple is a growing, living organism whose form is a
|
|
result of the collection of "cells" within it, as in any biological
|
|
organism. The analogy with the natural world is of direct significance.
|
|
All life operates within a set environment or eco-system, but its very
|
|
presence is an integral part of that system. If any one species grows it
|
|
is at the cost of another, and if any "external force" is introduced the
|
|
balance can be forever altered with the possibility of collapse (eg:
|
|
Rainforests). The Temple is such a force, one which could ultimately
|
|
over-turn the preconceived ideas of our Western society. This may seem
|
|
to many to be a fanciful argument, but to those who mock I would say,
|
|
"how small is a virus or cancer cell that can cause the collapse of an
|
|
organism."
|
|
|
|
We may be small, but we are growing to attack like a cancer from within!
|
|
|
|
We must stand together, we must fight!
|
|
|
|
~ On criticism of the Temple ~
|
|
|
|
How can you criticize an organisation which makes statements such as ".
|
|
. .
|
|
we support your individuality", "we offer no dogma", and talks of "de-
|
|
programming". These are some of the most important statements mady by
|
|
T.O.P.Y., and show the principal aims of the Temple: the realisation of
|
|
YOURSELF, which results in SELFLESSNESS in the most positive way - no
|
|
greed, no sex barriers, no age barriers, no race barriers. . . .etc.
|
|
|
|
The ultimate goal of LOVE and escape from the prison of 20th Century
|
|
(especially western) ideas and values. DON'T WE ALL FEEL THE SAME? Thee
|
|
Temple gives no orders, it gives a method through books, records, states
|
|
of mind to a form of enlightenment. "You must understand 'til it hurts.
|
|
The mind must be stretched to include emotions, thoughts and points of
|
|
view entirely foreign to the narrow limits of our present life." (quote
|
|
from "Zen" by Christmas Humphreys) To me, the Temple is about THINKING
|
|
and trying to spread this FREEDOM.
|
|
|
|
SEXUALITY: This I am only myself realising at the moment - NO GUILT. We
|
|
see it on T.V. every day: twisted sex values - TURN IT OFF! I can't find
|
|
|
|
2892
|
|
|
|
the right words to use about my sigil experiences but I feel re-charged,
|
|
focused, powerful, aware.
|
|
|
|
THEE PSYCHICK CROSS: This to me forms a kind of focus (not in a fearful,
|
|
religious sense) and is a common ground and understandable sign to those
|
|
involved within T.O.P.Y.
|
|
|
|
23: This to me is Kammerer's Law of Seriality. The natural rhythms,
|
|
patterns, harmonies in all the universe. It is an expression of this
|
|
belief of the unexplored forces that act upon us.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I can relate to what the Temple Ov Psychick Youth is trying to do
|
|
because we are all living in a world where chaos reigns. The Western
|
|
World has been under the dogma of religion, Catholic and Protestant, for
|
|
the last five hundred years. And its teachings, far removed from the
|
|
original message, have beenused to control the masses and to shape
|
|
humanity's moral codes.
|
|
|
|
So today we have people wanting to have spiritual freedom, but who
|
|
because of the age-old brain washing of God and the Devil, and good and
|
|
evil, find it hard. Even worse, most people in our society have to
|
|
unlearn and begin at thee beginning about their relationship with life,
|
|
the universe and everything in it; and they generally start looking
|
|
within themselves for their answers. I personally think that Chris-
|
|
tianity is on its last legs, as its churches are full of middle-aged and
|
|
old people, but not young people. So there are many who are searching
|
|
for spiritual freedom, and a truer relationship with life. The Temple Ov
|
|
Psychick Youth provides a means and a way for people to break free and
|
|
rise above the lie of society. Because magick, witchcraft are keys that
|
|
unlock many of life's closed doors, and enable individuals to explore
|
|
and develop themselves on all planes of life, from spiritual to
|
|
physical.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in life is easy, and magick is not an escape. As with all life
|
|
you have to give of yourself to receive, and giving of yourself means a
|
|
sacrifice of time and effort which is a hard lesson for many an aspiring
|
|
occultist. So through contact with open groups like T.O.P.Y.,
|
|
individuals can meet other people with similar ideals in life.
|
|
|
|
Obviously people will have to face moral principles such as sexual
|
|
Magick (tantric yoga) and other methods used in ritual magick to raise
|
|
the power, but this is something they learn naturally and not unnatur-
|
|
ally as the rest of society still thinks and believes. They have to
|
|
learn that they themselves create or destroy what life presents before
|
|
them, not God or the Devil, and thus having learnt go forth into a new
|
|
world of gods. After all, evil is essentially misplaced energy (un-
|
|
natural). So things like sex, and all pleasurable activity so long as it
|
|
be done with free will, are healthy for us in life.
|
|
|
|
This last point is another reason why I agree with T.O.P.Y.'s ideals:
|
|
because they encourage people to be free within themselves, and to
|
|
discover their own true wills.
|
|
|
|
As A/C puts it: Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law.
|
|
Love Is The Law, Love Under Will.
|
|
|
|
2893
|
|
|
|
My interpretation of T.O.P.Y. is that of the propagation of unlimited
|
|
expression and potential. Also, that of the freeing of world technology
|
|
and communication from the restraints of generally restrictive,
|
|
authoritarian value-systems. The Temple, to me, has the potential to
|
|
both examine and free the latency of both physical and psychical
|
|
potential.
|
|
|
|
I would like to take part in a world-deprogramming task, and experience
|
|
the worthiness of my own full powers, in all their comparitive spheres.
|
|
|
|
These thoughts encompass my attitudes towards sexuality (in both its
|
|
drive and visionary factors) and also my movement towards a cooperative
|
|
methodology.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
What is Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth?
|
|
|
|
To me, ultimately a special state ov mind - the place where all dreams
|
|
meet. The place you know exists but are afraid to admit it. A secret
|
|
place, timeless, sexual, a magick place open to all. Have you never felt
|
|
so alive, happy, sexual that you want to live forever? Or are you lost,
|
|
scared or just too pissed off to care. T.O.P.Y. can help you find your
|
|
real self and you can help T.O.P.Y. in the process. By helping and
|
|
caring and coummitment to T.O.P.Y. the same energy is given back. Love
|
|
is not a dirty word, helping people is not wrong. For society to change,
|
|
people must change. People must see what is happening all around them.
|
|
People must be given information about sigils, dreamachines, magick.
|
|
People must be pro-sexual, have respect and caring for everybody.
|
|
What is wrong with being happy, alive, caring? So reject money - I'm on
|
|
16K a year, smart mate but who's interested. I'm a Man City fan - You're
|
|
dead. (Fighting for a football team, strange.) This jumper cost $60.
|
|
(Very smart, but does it make you really feel better inside.)
|
|
|
|
In these times ov one-upmanship why not join the ultimate game and play
|
|
for your life and make history as well.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth acts as a focal point, a sigil to thee
|
|
Will. It can provide thee FORM about which thee FUNCTION ov Thee SELF
|
|
can be wrapped. Thee act ov focusing releases tremendous energy which
|
|
Thee Temple, as a concourse, forms into a flow ov energy. As a concept
|
|
it sparks off Individual activity and through thee Image ov Thee SIGIL
|
|
it channels that energy into a creative outburst.
|
|
|
|
As a free form with a continuous flow ov unrestricted and unlimited
|
|
ideas it allows any Individual to develop a language to express what can
|
|
not be explained. Magick in its modern context is largely a question ov
|
|
interpreting a subjective reality in purely personal terms. This
|
|
requires a personal subjective language. Yet if society is to continue
|
|
- have any meaning - then it is precisely this that must be communi-
|
|
cated. A subjective reality can not be expressed in terms ov common
|
|
language, but only as a personal experience. Thus thee only channel ov
|
|
communication open to us is to place our personal view within a common
|
|
framework. This in essence is what all communication is about. But most
|
|
ov our present belief is based on distortion. Our culture simply has not
|
|
got thee necessary tools to cope with thee present situation. Our
|
|
2894
|
|
|
|
cultural language is still based on thee rational universal world ov
|
|
thee past aeon. This will have to be swept aside before people can talk
|
|
to each other again.
|
|
|
|
The magickal number 23 is interwoven throughout T.O.P.Y. It is the point
|

religious sense) and is a common ground and understandable sign to those
|
|
involved within T.O.P.Y.
|
|
|
|
23: This to me is Kammerer's Law of Seriality. The natural rhythms,
|
|
patterns, harmonies in all the universe. It is an expression of this
|
|
belief of the unexplored forces that act upon us.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I can relate to what the Temple Ov Psychick Youth is trying to do
|
|
because we are all living in a world where chaos reigns. The Western
|
|
World has been under the dogma of religion, Catholic and Protestant, for
|
|
the last five hundred years. And its teachings, far removed from the
|
|
original message, have beenused to control the masses and to shape
|
|
humanity's moral codes.
|
|
|
|
So today we have people wanting to have spiritual freedom, but who
|
|
because of the age-old brain washing of God and the Devil, and good and
|
|
evil, find it hard. Even worse, most people in our society have to
|
|
unlearn and begin at thee beginning about their relationship with life,
|
|
the universe and everything in it; and they generally start looking
|
|
within themselves for their answers. I personally think that Chris-
|
|
tianity is on its last legs, as its churches are full of middle-aged and
|
|
old people, but not young people. So there are many who are searching
|
|
for spiritual freedom, and a truer relationship with life. The Temple Ov
|
|
Psychick Youth provides a means and a way for people to break free and
|
|
rise above the lie of society. Because magick, witchcraft are keys that
|
|
unlock many of life's closed doors, and enable individuals to explore
|
|
and develop themselves on all planes of life, from spiritual to
|
|
physical.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in life is easy, and magick is not an escape. As with all life
|
|
you have to give of yourself to receive, and giving of yourself means a
|
|
sacrifice of time and effort which is a hard lesson for many an aspiring
|
|
occultist. So through contact with open groups like T.O.P.Y.,
|
|
individuals can meet other people with similar ideals in life.
|
|
|
|
Obviously people will have to face moral principles such as sexual
|
|
2896
|
|
|
|
Magick (tantric yoga) and other methods used in ritual magick to raise
|
|
the power, but this is something they learn naturally and not unnatur-
|
|
ally as the rest of society still thinks and believes. They have to
|
|
learn that they themselves create or destroy what life presents before
|
|
them, not God or the Devil, and thus having learnt go forth into a new
|
|
world of gods. After all, evil is essentially misplaced energy (un-
|
|
natural). So things like sex, and all pleasurable activity so long as it
|
|
be done with free will, are healthy for us in life.
|
|
|
|
This last point is another reason why I agree with T.O.P.Y.'s ideals:
|
|
because they encourage people to be free within themselves, and to
|
|
discover their own true wills.
|
|
|
|
As A/C puts it: Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law.
|
|
Love Is The Law, Love Under Will.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
My interpretation of T.O.P.Y. is that of the propagation of unlimited
|
|
expression and potential. Also, that of the freeing of world technology
|
|
and communication from the restraints of generally restrictive,
|
|
authoritarian value-systems. The Temple, to me, has the potential to
|
|
both examine and free the latency of both physical and psychical
|
|
potential.
|
|
|
|
I would like to take part in a world-deprogramming task, and experience
|
|
the worthiness of my own full powers, in all their comparitive spheres.
|
|
|
|
These thoughts encompass my attitudes towards sexuality (in both its
|
|
drive and visionary factors) and also my movement towards a cooperative
|
|
methodology.
|
|
|

---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
What is Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth?
|
|
|
|
To me, ultimately a special state ov mind - the place where all dreams
|
|
meet.
|
|
The place you know exists but are afraid to admit it. A secret place,
|
|
timeless, sexual, a magick place open to all. Have you never felt so
|
|
alive, happy, sexual that you want to live forever? Or are you lost,
|
|
scared or just too pissed off to care. T.O.P.Y. can help you find your
|
|
real self and you can help T.O.P.Y. in the process. By helping and
|
|
caring and coummitment to T.O.P.Y. the same energy is given back. Love
|
|
is not a dirty word, helping people is not wrong. For society to change,
|
|
people must change. People must see what is happening all around them.
|
|
People must be given information about sigils, dreamachines, magick.
|
|
People must be pro-sexual, have respect and caring for everybody.
|
|
What is wrong with being happy, alive, caring? So reject money - I'm on
|
|
16K a year, smart mate but who's interested. I'm a Man City fan - You're
|
|
dead. (Fighting for a football team, strange.) This jumper cost $60.
|
|
(Very smart, but does it make you really feel better inside.)
|
|
|
|
In these times ov one-upmanship why not join the ultimate game and play
|
|
for your life and make history as well.

Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth acts as a focal point, a sigil to thee
|
|
Will. It can provide thee FORM about which thee FUNCTION ov Thee SELF
|
|
can be wrapped. Thee act ov focusing releases tremendous energy which
|
|
Thee Temple, as a concourse, forms into a flow ov energy. As a concept
|
|
it sparks off Individual activity and through thee Image ov Thee SIGIL
|
|
it channels that energy into a creative outburst.
|
|
|
|
As a free form with a continuous flow ov unrestricted and unlimited
|
|
ideas it allows any Individual to develop a language to express what can
|
|
not be explained. Magick in its modern context is largely a question ov
|
|
interpreting a subjective reality in purely personal terms. This
|
|
requires a personal subjective language. Yet if society is to continue
|
|
- have any meaning - then it is precisely this that must be communi-
|
|
cated. A subjective reality can not be expressed in terms ov common
|
|
language, but only as a personal experience. Thus thee only channel ov
|
|
communication open to us is to place our personal view within a common
|
|
framework. This in essence is what all communication is about. But most
|
|
ov our present belief is based on distortion. Our culture simply has not
|
|
got thee necessary tools to cope with thee present situation. Our
|
|
cultural language is still based on thee rational universal world ov
|
|
thee past aeon. This will have to be swept aside before people can talk
|
|
to each other again.
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple as a focal point without a fixed system ov values begins
|
|
Thee Process. It provides a channel through which thee Individual can
|
|
view his/her circumstances from their own perspective. It sweeps past
|
|
thee outmoded views ov mass philosophy. Most importantly, by mutual
|
|
encouragement, Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth gives me thee courage to
|
|
accept and trust my own view.

-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth is important because it is ACTIVE and
|
|
CARING. It intends to nudge people into an understanding of themselves,
|
|
into RESPECT for themselves. To Love themselves and their lives. It
|
|
intends to spur people into doing coumthing with their lives, being
|
|
2898
|
|
|
|
ACTIVE. It gives people back to themselves along with the realisation
|
|
that they CAN get what they really deeply want and need. Their desires
|
|
can be made real. All it takes is effort and discipline.
|
|
|
|
For a few years now I have felt a deep hunger and frustration. There has
|
|
been a large gap in my life. It took me awhile to realise what this gap
|
|
was. A deep spiritual lack. There has never been any talk ov or
|
|
involvment with anything remotely spiritual during the whole of my
|
|
twenty years of existence. During Primary School it was required of the
|
|
whole class to stand up in thee mornings and say thee Lords Prayer. I
|
|
never ever believed in it. It seemed totally absurd to me even then, I
|
|
don't really know why, but I never believed in "God". For seven years I
|
|
stood up and mouthed thee words of thee prayer. When I left at the age
|
|
of 12, if anyone asked me to recite thee words ov thee Lords Prayer I
|
|
couldn't do it! Seriously. I had never learned it and had wilfully
|
|
blocked it out. I objected out loud of course, oh no, that would result
|
|
in the belt. Little boys who don't say their prayers get pain as a
|
|
reward. It wasn't until I was about 19 that I found what I thought/think
|
|
might be thee answers. I have always been interested in thee unusual. In
|
|
everything. People. Books. Music. Art. Thee "Chaos ov thee Normal", thee
|
|
"Moronic Inferno". Fashion has never interested me. During childhood I
|
|
read mostly science fiction. Then came a period ov flux, ov
|
|
wandering, where I no longer was deeply "into" Sci-fi as before, but
|
|
couldn't find anything else. That was when I decided to buy "A William
|
|
Burroughs Reader" having heard him mentioned in numerous articles in
|
|
thee muzak press. Pages of wonderous images, surreal images, new ideas,
|
|
new methods. This replenished my lust for thee innovative.
|
|
|
|
I used to go to an "Adult Training Centre" at night to help out at a
|
|
kind of social gathering of handicapped people. There was a small record
|
|
player, and a box of records. Sidney Devine, Elvis, Nana Mouscouri,
|
|
country and western, thee muzak ov my nightmares! Tucked neatly in
|
|
between two of these wreckords was an unimposing little single. It was
|
|
Just Drifting and was by Psychic TV. I asked if I could have it as I
|
|
wondered what they were like, having read reviews in thee press. As one
|
|
of our records had disappeared they said "Yes". That was how I dis-
|
|
covered PTV. It was a few years before I made enquiries into thee
|
|
Temple. This was made at thee same time as I found a possible solution
|
|
to my problem. I read a book called "Mysteries" by Colin Wilson. It was
|
|
thee most amazing book I had ever read. A whole new universe ov
|
|
possibilities opened up to me. I immediately developed a deep hunger for
|
|
knowledge. Not everyday knowledge. Knowledge ov this strange new world.
|
|
I went to thee library and read every occult book I could find. A Whole
|
|
new worlds of meaning opened up.
|
|
|
|
Thee Temple seemed like an honest organisation. Not a brainwashing cult.
|
|
An "anti-cult". I didn't know (and still don't) just how much knowledge
|
|
it possessed. To make "the occult" a part of everyone's everyday lives,
|
|
now that was an interesting idea. A very good idea. An essential idea.
|
|
Ideas into action. Kick start evolution again.
|
|
|
|
To destroy tyranny and oppression. To bring joy back to living once
|
|
more. Love. Responsibility for actions. Interaction between Individuals
|
|
again, instead ov this total isolation that is becoming a hallmark ov
|
|
thee twentieth century.
|
|
|
|
Sex. To free sex from all fetters. To throw off guilt and all restric-
|
|
tions to pleasure. To make sex pure again. Between two Individuals. Not
|
|
2899
|
|
|
|
thee ignorant sexist, totally damaging view of a man fucking a woman.
|
|
Sex involves two people. Two active people (who may be active in their
|
|
passivity). To reclaim sexuality as our own. To be shared with who we
|
|
choose, however we choose. Thee magick ov sex. Thee new sexuality. To
|
|
choose ourSelves.
|
|
|
|
Thee Psychick Cross. Thee cross is thee union of opposites (0=2). Thee
|
|
top half has thee Christian Cross, thee bottom half has thee anti-Chris-
|
|
tian or Satanic Cross. Thee middle branch ties them together. Thee top
|
|
half mirrors thee bottom. As above so below. It is thee anti-Papal Cross
|
|
since thee middle branch is shorter than thee outer two, thee opposite
|
|
of thee Papal. It is a television aerial. It receives and transmits
|
|
information from and to every area ov life. Thee centre of thee
|
|
Information War. It is a focus for knowledge and understanding. It is
|
|
also thee face of thee Temple. Thee central line ov thee face along
|
|
which is arranged thee line of thee eyes at top, nose middle, and mouth
|
|
bottom. Thee three branches are mind, body, and spirit. There are three
|
|
crosses in thee Psychick Cross, not two.
|
|
|
|
23, in Crowley's system, is Water. Thee essential element ov life. Thee
|
|
great sea ov thee subconscious. Thee element that is always in flux,
|
|
forever changing. Change is stability. Water has three states (branches
|
|
on thee cross?). Water is the body and the mind. Just as the moon
|
|
affects the sea so does it affect mind and body. The brain is something
|
|
like 80% water after all. 23 is a mystery. It's just a number. It's
|
|
just the number ov rays from Sirius, The Sun behind the Sun. Thee star
|
|
of thee Dogon, those marvellous people. Thee symbol of Sirius is pretty
|
|
close to thee cross.
|
|
|
|
23 is synchronicity and recognition:
|
|
|
|
2+3=5 2x3 = 6 2/3 = .666
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Trying to explain my reason for my involvement with T.O.P.Y. is hard,
|
|
but to say I am searching for my inner strengths and weaknesses is as
|
|
good a one as any. To me T.O.P.Y. is doing more for thee couming
|
|
together ov people than any thing I know. They encourage thee sharing ov
|
|
ideas which to me is an important factor in knocking down life's walls.
|
|
|
|
To ask me thee meaning behind their aims, ideas, sexuality, methods,
|
|
thee meaning ov thee Psychick Cross, ov 23 would be an injustice to
|
|
T.O.P.Y. Their aim I believe to be more wakefulness in society, for
|
|
people to open up their eyes and see for themselves. Their ideas revolve
|
|
around Pagan philosophy and thee arts ov Magick which in a way takes on
|
|
all aspects ov Life. Methods are thee same in all new conceptions and
|
|
must be used to get thee message across. Sexuality is a beautiful thing
|
|
and should be treated in thee same way, free love must be forever in our
|
|
souls. Thee Psychick Cross is a symbol to symbolise all aspects ov
|
|
T.O.P.Y. ideals, they must be put up everywhere. Ov 23 I am stuck with
|
|
no true conclusion as to thee proper idea/ideas behind it, but to me it
|
|
stands out and crops up in thee weirdest ov situations and it is a JOY
|
|
to see it anywhere.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. is an inner door, a device for breaking down mental walls.
|
|
T.O.P.Y. can be pleasure with thee pain, thee garden ov eden and you are
|
|
Adam or Eve. Open thee eye to T.O.P.Y. and experience everything before
|
|
2900
|
|
|
|
it is too late.
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I feel no need to justify my interest or my sympathy. Those who reject
|
|
T.O.P.Y. reject themselves - and few want to face the truth. Each
|
|
individual must decide their own course, and as no-one is the same, so
|
|
no course is the same. Everyone responds and rejects or accepts
|
|
according to their own thoughts and feelings.
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. offers an alternative to mass control, depersonalisation and
|
|
guilt. Those who choose this path will never find it easy - prejudice
|
|
and jealousy will see to that, as very few people have the courage to be
|
|
themselves and those that do are often hated for it. For not conforming.
|
|
For not being "one of us".
|
|
|
|
T.O.P.Y. aims to make each individual free of the mental shackles and
|
|
spiritual bonds placed on us since birth. To question the unquestioning
|
|
mind and to heal the wound of separation withing us. For no-one is whole
|
|
when psyche, mind and body work in discord. The Psychick Cross is a
|
|
symbol of this unity - a tangible representation of 23 - two threes back
|
|
to back, joined, whole, a perfect harmony visually and psychically, to
|
|
be used as a focal point for energy, a comforter emotionally and a
|
|
reminder of the potential within us. A potential T.O.P.Y. can help us to
|
|
achieve.
|
|
|
|
The thing I can give most readily is my love. My love of Life and its
|
|
unifying energy and of all living things. My love of humanity and all
|
|
that these destructive creatures have produced that is creative. My love
|
|
of my ideal that I have cherished and nurtured all my life - that
|
|
finally humankind will see and feel all that is within me is within all
|
|
life and therefore that all life is within me.
|
|

|
|
|
|
The nation, the world is in a trap. The poor are getting poorer, and the
|
|
rich, richer. Our environment is collapsing in upon ourselves because of
|
|
what we are doing. An example: it is legal to corrode the ozone layer
|
|
(by use of aerosols, etc.) and thereby harm everyone, yet illegal to
|
|
smoke marijuana, and harm no-one. We need change, revolution - and
|
|
T.O.P.Y. is that. The ideas of it being an insane death cult are a
|
|
misconception. We are help, perhaps the only help and friend, not an
|
|
enemy. So open your eyes.
