Time for a new intro. Hi, I'm Colophon! 26, any pronouns, AMAB queer, furry (lion), partnered/married, anarchist. Examples of my posts' subjects:
- Shitposting
- Queer stuff
- The history of furry femboy art and gfur art history/styles
- Occult/esoteric stuff
- Writing, sometimes
- Psychedelics/psychonautics and neurochemistry
- Shitposting again
- Femboys again
- Feelings
- Advertising and why you should hate it
- Influence/heuristics and ideology
- Shitposting and femboys, now combined.

I have an obligation to:
1. Act with empathy when dealing with other people.
2. Avoid harming others as much as possible.
3. Respect people's boundaries as much as possible.
If I do something I shouldn't, please tell me, and I will apologize and avoid that action in the future.

I do not have an obligation to be someone you think of as funny, cool, smart, attractive, or in your in-group. If you find me annoying, just unfollow, mute, or block. I'm not going to curate my content on your behalf.

Seems people are interested in starting with the earliest history of feminine males in furry art. Well and good! First, some background about furries themselves; this will be review for many of you.

The very earliest furry art dates back to some of the first recognizable art humans produced. The Löwenmensch figurine is a lion-headed anthropomorphic figurine dating back 35 to 40,000 years; its gender was a matter of some debate!

Got a great villainsona sketch from @distressedegg tonight, really pleased with how it turned out! An unassuming professor of occult studies, with of course just a harmless horn mutation, *definitely* not an infernal/diabolical/supernatural demonhost here to lead a villainous cabal of queers! Now, what would lead you to ever suggest such a thing? Just because a bookworm may have some popular classes doesn't remotely mean that he's recruiting all the local queers using occult fascination, right?

Every so often I post something that explains why some of my most negative opinions and some of the greatest scorn I have is heaped liberally upon advertisers, so people understand that this isn't personal, no advertiser ever did anything to hurt me specifically. However, all advertisers participate in one of the primary mechanisms by which the world is consciously kept in a miserable state: Heuristics.

"If it’s already manifest, what’s the use of meditation? And if it is hidden, one is just measuring darkness... The nature of the Innate is neither existent [as a thing] nor non-existent.

By means of that same Essence by which one is born and lives and dies, by means of That one gains the highest bliss.... [but] this stupid world seems not to understand, [...] enslaved by the appearance of things, and no one understands his true nature."

I'd like novice readers not to be confused by Saraha mentioning masters. There's a lot to Esoteric Buddhism and its emphasis upon the teacher-student relationship that isn't going to be apparent at first glance, and, similarly, that's one point that I personally find worth criticism, but here I'm in short, when Saraha says this, he doesn't mean that this is to be literally found by finding a master and sticking to a rote teaching from them, in fact it's closer to the opposite

"It is This that’s read and This that’s meditated, it’s This that’s discussed in treatises and old legends. There is no school of thought that doesn’t have This as its aim, but one sees it only at the feet of one’s master.

If the word of one’s master but enters the heart, it seems like a treasure in the palm of one’s hand. The world is enslaved by falsehood, says Saraha, and the fool doesn’t perceive his true nature."

Again from Dohākośa:
"Whoever, deprived of the Innate [Sahaja], seeks nirvāṇa, can in no wise realize absolute truth.

Whoever is intent on anything else, how may he gain release? Will one gain release, abiding in meditation? What’s the use of lamps? What’s the use of offerings? What’s to be done by reliance on mantras?"

What is the use of austerities? What is the use of going on pilgrimage? Is release achieved by bathing in water?"

Hey PSA, if your "trigger" is openly just indigenous people/issues and you think hearing about them is "harm" or "ableist," I want absolutely nothing to do with you, don't ever let me catch you anywhere in my mentions saying that.

Are there any instances which would be good for posting occult stuff on them that have large character limits?

Sorry for clogging your TL, you're very patient

I really just need like, a third account for posting superthreads about occult/esoteric stuff, huh?

"He said: It is right in front of their noses, but they do not see it. Their mothers gave it to them at birth, but they have misplaced it. It is louder than thunder, but they do not hear it. They are all drunk in this world; even the ones who do not drink, they are drunk still."

Seriously compare this to Saraha's Dohākośa, "Vainly is the world enslaved by their vanity. They do not know that dharma’s the same as non-dharma."

"I said to Jesus: What are the disciples like? He said: They are like children who play at war. They fall down and play dead; they rise up and play life again. But they have not died nor lived. But you, beloved, have died in making life out of life, so you are truly alive."

Interwoven throughout this gospel are a number of coded references to "the sexual mysteries," compare to the alchemical androgyne.

"He said: I will give you what eye has never seen and it will consume you. You will burn in it. Peter asked: What shall be the end? Jesus answered: Have you discovered the beginning, that you may comprehend the ending? Where the beginning was, there the end shall be."

Alchemists will find a lot to unpack in the concept of burning. Note, though, Jesus emphasizing getting to the root/beginning/source of things to simultaneously comprehend its end.

I'll keep more commentary for after I've posted more sections of this, but I have a lot of stuff to say about this particular gospel. You can really start to see why this was treated as a heretical gospel and rejected by the First Council of Nicaea, there's no way Constantine would have wanted anyone reading this.

When he says "smash, smash the old laws," what he's saying is, destroy these concrete, external concepts you have of the divine and experience it raw, experience what comes after destroying the safe covering you've built up over the immediacy of a divine experience by externalizing it.

If you make an idol of divine experiences in your past and worship those as infallible, you miss that it never really ended, you miss its presence, its immanence now.

I need to take a time out for a second to emphasize that Jesus saying "smash, smash the old laws and wake from the Lie that all men believe" is him throwing a live grenade in the middle of the room. This is a Jesus that takes no prisoners and is not fucking around or trying to skirt around this with kid gloves. I'll post a personal interpretation of this, but this is him indicating what my own spiritual experiences called "the direction of [heaven]."

"Jesus said: If you fast, you will create great evils. If you pray, you will be cursed. If you obey the law, you will lose your souls.

But act from the light within and you will do well. Heal the sick, console the dying, make jokes in the face of the wise, and teach only one thing: the Kingdom of Heaven is here and now. Smash, smash the old laws and wake from the Lie that all men believe."

Note, in other versions of this text, it is said that Jesus speaks *three* words to Judas, not just "some."

"And he took Jude aside and spoke to him in secret. And the others asked what Jesus had said; but Jude answered: If I repeated it, you would take up stones and kill me."

Compare this to Paul, who was taken up into Heaven "and shown things of which it is not lawful to speak." Funny enough, this is a common conclusion in DMT experiences, common elements of which come up very frequently in areas heavily laden with qabbalistic elements (esp. Ezekiel).
