As an organiser of images experienced in trance, the occultist reflects back to the archaic idea of creation by idealistic aesthetics. Like surrealism, occultism tries to break the domination of rational philosophy and logic, stressed by Descartes. As many voices, colours and material as is possible, need to be perceived in the underground culture of the occultist. A euphoria of images and voices determines his identity and reflection. Like every Utopia, this one draws its power from envy for a world without limits, and unveils that primordial wish of man, on the one hand to be master of his own reality, and on the other to escape its chains.
Gnosis demands the removal of structure from life itself.
There exists no alternative to this totalitarian claim on the same level, or with the same claim to significance. This is why the occultist swings between transcendentally seeking cultural anticipation, and its counterpart, a hope for destruction of the existing culture. The subject must be kept separate from cultural questions, and is only really of concern for the legal branches of occult organisations. The subject has been set free from the gravity of its uniqueness and becomes a forum for influences of every kind. This blend and consistency determines the momentary state or condition of its subject.
