Glossary


The Abyss

Field of individuation composed of abstract, pre-individual singularities. Ur-source of the unconscious. Etymologically related to boundless primordial chaos. The yolk of the Dogon egg.

Acausal/Acausality

Causality approaching (reaching, never reaching?) the limit of its absolute deterritorialization. Free play of the faculties of Eros and Thanatos, life drive and death drive. Previously theorized by the Order of Nine Angles as a seperate dimension or n-dimensions which connects the organic (life) to the inorganic (matter) and the dwelling place of the great Abstract Machines (Dark Gods) as well as their attendant sorceries. It's been previously speculated that through traversing the acausal n-dimensions one creates the Full Body without Organs through the Rite of the Abyss and achieves a curious kind of immortality.

The Backwards Dark

Mirror image of the Abyss, its reversal, pulled topologically through infinity. If the Abyss is the field of individuation, the Backwards Dark is the movement of individuation itself. The development of the Dogon egg's embryo. Lyotard would call it the turning of the bar of the Great Ephemeral Skin.

Black Paradise

The extinction of all life in the universe. Complete, total, irreversible. The laughter of non-being at all attempts to escape it.

The Final Harvest

The apocalyptic end event of all eschatological speculation. The Solar Catastrophe. The Nuclear Catastrophe. The Ecological Catastrophe. All at once sacred and secular. Loaded with disgusting anthropocentric assumptions.

Blood Essence

Once rid of all vampiric associations, The Doctrine of Blood Essence becomes a call to return all philosophical concepts and religious entities to their bodily origin. As stated by Clive Barker, we're all books of blood.

Aeonic Materialism

Dr. Hubbur's later theory of aeonic materialism speculates on to what extent time itself is actively constructed by human endeavors, particularly as a political and economic project. Differentiated from Marxist historical materialism only by emphasizing how history is often compartmentalized into distinct "Aeons" by various occult projects as an obfuscation of dramatic, qualitative changes in human economic (and thus political) organization. Before death Dr. Hubbur wrote that Marxism-Leninism-Maoism was clearly an aeonic construction of a uniquely atheistic character. Era Horrificus, horror heaped upon horror as global capitalism transitions simultaneously towards and further from communism.

Libidinal Materialism

As of now, I'm using the term libidinal materialism to describe how I'm interpreting the twin projects of Anti-Oedipus and Libidinal Economy (as well as Eros and Civilization and Althusser's On the Reproduction of Capitalism), which I see as attempts to systematically analyze the production of desire(s) under capitalism as well as its deformation.

Sentimental Materialism

A materialist romanticism. Prefigured by Spinoza's Ethics.

Thanatological Ontology

I'm gonna be honest I don't actually remember where I was going with this one.

Transcendental Misanthropy

Outlined in Dr. Bodin's notes for his last, unfinished book, The Critique of Hatred.

Linguistic Continuum

Fancy term for language, my use of the word continuum is intended to point to two things: that language remains after the death of the individual subject and that someone's capacity for language exists on a continuum that can be augmented (learning a language) or diminished (neurodegenerative diseases). Part of what the Order of Nine Angles theorizes as "acausal-empathy" is occult knowledge beyond causal abstractions which includes all of the abstractions of the linguistic continuum, but I wonder myself if this is necessary. When I think of the linguistic continuum I feel like an old Qabbalist glancing at the Torah, where words are made flesh and flesh dissolves into words, a perfect linguistic continuum.
