Light, Magic, Masonry by Michael Tsarion

The entrance of ithyphallic beams of light into the vesica-shaped eye can be likened to the sexual act. The penetration of light is experienced as an erotic act by the brain which is after all a mass of super- sensitive nerves. This real subtle optical experience may be compared to a miniature orgasm – small enough to not be noticed consciously but strong enough to be stimulate and entrain.

“Everything that we see obscures something else we want to see.” Rene Magritte. Magritte was referring to a remarkable ability of human beings to believe in ideas of reality rather than in reality itself. He was speaking about the strange antipathy that apparently exists between idea and reality, appearance and fact, deception and truth, darkness and light.

Reality is primarily a visual experience. The light and power wielded by agents of the Demiurge is always contextualized by difference, opposition and separation. Light in this mode cannot be true and real. It is by definition weak, transitory and illusory.

The corpus callosum connecting the left and right hemispheres is larger and more dense in males, resulting in less harmonization and communication between hemispheres. Hence the connection between masculinity and left-brain cognition. Although the existence of the left- brain’s functions makes us conscious, there’s a lot more to the advent of the ego and Self than neurologists presently understand. They fail to address what kind of consciousness – now repressed – would exist without the draconian oppressiveness and exclusion of the left-brain. They fail to address the impoverished phantasmagoria presented by the left-brain, which omits everything in reality that threatens its dominion and expansion. They are for the most part apologists for the left-brain’s refracted chimera. It’s not conducive for them to question their master’s authorized edition of reality.


It is clear, therefore, that our hallucinatory vision of the world as a concrete material manifestation, and our fixation on phallic and ithyphallic phenomena, indicate our enslavement to the left-brain’s preferred but contrived mode of cognition. Our fixations on dualism and language (particularly metaphorical language) are also indicative of this. The power and force we commonly associate with light and phallic sexuality is a power inferior to that of the right-brain and deeper hemispheres of consciousness. But this deeper more numinous flow of Spirit is invisible to us due to left-brain editing. It is also unknown due to our insensitivity, brought about by our reliance on misleaders in society, and our chronic craving for the approval of the misguided.
