social status

This post is so I can start collating a few links on the topic of the evil known as social status. (I will do a similar post on the evil known as gossip, if I get the energy.)   

From the Internet etc: 

“Scientists Find ICEzis Full ofzLosers”   https://youtu.be/tCMVwP-J9Hc   This is based on the book “Making a CareerzinzDictatorship: The Secret Logic Behind RepressionzandzCoups”, by  Christian Gläßel and Adam Scharpf, pub. Oxford University Press, 2025,  Online ISBN: 9780197831229, Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/Making-Career-Dictatorship-Secret-Repression-ebook/dp/B0GH11X16Q.   “Who loyally carries out the most brutalzviolence for azdictator? And who overthrows the very leader they swore to protect? Like no other work before it, Making a CareerzinzDictatorship dives deep into the authoritarianzsecurity apparatus to identify which officers participate in repressionzorzcoups--and above all, why. The book’s compelling theory uncovers career pressure as the secret driver behind the two most notorious phenomena of authoritarian power politics. Officers disadvantaged in their professional advancement either try to demonstrate their loyalty to the current regime by participating in repression, or to commend themselves to a successor regime by participating in a coup. The book offers a wealth of unprecedented evidence in support of its unified theory. Based on unique career data on thousands of Argentine army officers, in-depth case studies on Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union, and Jawara’s Gambia, and a global analysis of authoritarian regimes since 1945, a striking pattern emerges: career pressure fuels extreme behaviour. By revealing for the first time the organizational structure, promotion systems, and career paths within the authoritarian security apparatus, the book shows how seemingly banal career concerns shape the bottom-up dynamics of regime survival and collapse. In times of rising authoritarianism, this book offers key insights into how states and societies fall victim to illiberal leaders and their willing enforcers.”   And see also, from LinkedIn, these on people who feel they have or are about to lose status punching down:   https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7484725477744500736/   and   https://www.linkedin.com/posts/markchenery_meetoo-blacklivesmatter-share-7469135710546096128-W1uZ/    

“Unstatus: How to Stop Playing a Game You Don’t Want to Win”   https://www.joanwestenberg.com/unstatus-how-to-stop-playing-a-game-you-dont-want-to-win/   “A backlash is taking shape against the traditional markers of success and social position.   I call it "Unstatus" – the deliberate rejection of conventional status symbols in favour of something more elusive, more authentic, and (perhaps) more suited to our complex modern psyche.”

[Content Warning] stochastic t_rr_r_sm

Note: I refuse to give t________'s the satisfaction of using the t_rr_r_sm word 

I came across this topic recently, and it is a perfect description of what neo-n_z_s/fascists/extreme right wingers are attempting to do to trans and gender diverse people - and what too many police are failing to recognise thus enabling this threat to life and limb - as well shown by the attempted insurrection in the USA on 6^th January, 2020.

Æther elemental energy/influence

Further to my post   “elements”   https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2015/09/elements.html   ,   the following is predominantly from my post   “Post No. 562 - A Rethinking of the ‘Laws’ of Magick”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2014/06/post-no-562-rethinking-of-laws-of-magick.html   It is likely to change further over time. 

The Etheric Law of Existence contains the following Magickal Principles:

• 1.       the Magickal Principle of Nonphysicality;

• 2.       the Magickal Principle of Energy;

The Etheric Law of Existence is, in my view, a statement about the nature of reality. My view on Reality is: there is more to life than just the physical, there are also nonphysical components – not just concepts such as love, loyalty, truth, honesty, balance, maturity, spirituality, etc, but also the actual, factual existence of nonphysical realms, peoples and energies.

Scientists have not yet proven the existence of the nonphysical to general satisfaction, but there have been hints along the way – things that have been best summarised in Lyall Watson’s distinguished book “Supernature”, and other things like the possible proof of precognition I wrote about here (and have heard nothing about since) and the information at Victor Zammit’s website. I think they’ll get there eventually, maybe in a few hundred more years when they overcome the fundamental flaws and prejudices that have been marked their previous attempts (perhaps best illustrated by their attempts to experimentally determine the existence of an ether).

Under the Etheric Law of Existence we have two Principles: the Magickal Principle of Nonphysicality, and the Magickal Principle of Energy.

The first of these is restating the basic concept of the existence of the nonphysical as a Principle: the second of these flows from that, and gets into what is directly manipulated in Magickal Practice – Magickal Energy.

To quite some extent, this Law and its Principles are ‘stating the obvious’, but I consider that doing so is worthwhile - and is something that is implied, but not specifically stated, by anything I’ve read previously. That’s a bit odd, given how fundamental this is.

 

And from   “Post No. 690 - More on Magickal Elements”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2015/04/post-no-690-more-on-magickal-elements.html  

... in Agrippa’s Philosophy of Natural Magic: Complete Work on Natural Magic, White & Black Magic, published in 1559 and being the first volume of his De occulta philosophia libri tres. (Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa lived 14^th September 1486 – 18^th February 1535, and was a German magician, occult writer, theologian, astrologer, and alchemist; I got my copy from the Ordo Aurum Solis’ on-line public library, but modern versions have been published as well.)

In that, Mr. Agrippa states that each element has two properties, which are various combinations of heat-cold and dry-moist. One property is referred to as “proper”, and the other as “mean”. I haven’t explored that description far enough as yet, but I suspect it means “higher octave/frequency expression” and “lower octave/frequency octave expression”, in the sense of levels - or frequencies - of reality.

Probably the clearest way for me to present that is in a (corrected) table:

Agrippa’s explanation is that the elements are in a sequence, where the “mean” property of one becomes the “proper” property of the next.

Furthermore, the order that he has the elements listed in is the order I use, if I travel around the outside of the pentagram in a clockwise direction. This brought to mind what I had been taught about elements when studying “Touch for Health” back in the 80s, which was arranging the (Eastern) elements into a pentagram, and viewing the interactions between them in two ways:

• generative, and
• control.

The generative cycle goes around the outside of the pentagram, in a clockwise direction. 

The control cycle is internal, and uses the sequence I use when drawing a pentagram to invoke (top to lower right, lower right to upper left, etc – and I am aware that some do that in a different order, but I don’t consider this related to the direction of the sun: more on that some other time). For an illustration of that, see here, which is from here.

So, in this system (and, strictly speaking, if I use Mr Agrippa’s system ӕther should perhaps be drawn either in the centre, or encompassing all on the outside, rather than using a pentagram - but when I have ever just stuck to using what I’ve been told? :) ), the “dryness” of fire generates the “dryness” of earth, the “coldness” of earth generates the “coldness” of water, etc, which could also be viewed as a category of what I term the Magickal Principle of Harmony, or what others term “like unto like”.

Also, if one had, say, an excess of stolidity (i.e., earth), one would use ӕther to control it. If one was being distracted (an excess of air), use earth to control it, and so on.

Now, in Touch For Health, when strengthening, one finishes by using the control cycle to stop the effect continuing until it becomes unbalanced. So, continuing with this exercise, possible uses of this way of viewing the elements (and this no doubt has parallels with the old idea of humours, which has – in the sense of physical medicine – been well and truly superceded) could include:

• emotionally:
  earth could steady (control) the mental flightiness of an excess of air, and possibly the passion of fire could control some emotions, such as some forms of depression, which may be an excess of water (depression has many forms and causes, and ALWAYS should be treated under competent medical supervision),
  whereas
  if one had a lack of emotion, one may need to use earth to stimulate that (e.g., if feeling numb and overwhelmed from modern life, get out into nature);
• physically (these examples are dreadful, I admit, but I’m tiring, now, after several hours of this):
  if a runny nose is due to an excess of water, it would be controlled by fire – dry heat (and a visit to the chemist),
  whereas
  if one’s temperature is high due to an excess of fire, and application of air would control it – so stand in front of a fan, in a sense;
• magickally:
  an excess of water manifesting as flitting from one thing to another could be controlled by a dose of fire – perhaps as passion for something,
  whereas
  being too passionate about something could be controlled by the inspired thought of air.

I am going to have a go at adding this to my weekly psychic weather reports, although many of those situations – as with all life – are more a case of the blend of elements. So a situation may be, for instance, 50% earth, 20% air, 15% water, 10% fire and 5% ӕther, whereas it should, perhaps be 30% earth, 20% air, 15% water, 10% fire and 25% ӕther. I'll be nominating an element to increase or to control an influence, and another to finish to stop things becoming unbalanced.

To summarise this, I’m going to present a revised diagram (and corrected, for the initial error of properties) which summarises what I have been talking about above, and includes a speculation that ӕther includes all four “properties”. This also shows my association of sigils with the elements – includes those of the (in the Hermetic sense) kings of each element, which is something that must be used with great caution (and is something I started exploring after reading Katherine  Kerr's Deverry series).

I am also missing the sigil for ӕther. I don’t know what it should be … so I will keep searching, and trying to earn the right to know.
