---------------------------- high weirdness by email v2.0 send info and errata to: mporter@nyx.cs.du.edu ---------------------------- This version *supersedes* previous "editions"; they may safely be deleted without loss of important information.

Warning: Despite the new format - classificiation of resorces by topic - certain parts of this listing are in a chaotic state. This has to do with the circumstances of its compilation. Basically, to access the net I have to sneak into a university lab and telnet to one of my legitimate accounts. I have been "caught" twice so far and so it's getting a little difficult to maintain the volume of activity that I'd like to. I have my one opportunity to put things on an ftp site coming up in a few hours and so I want to "get out" what information I have *now*, in case I lose any form of access altogether. SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO ARCHIVE THIS OR REPRODUCE IT, FEEL FREE TO EDIT IT FOR COMPREHENSIBILITY, RELEVANCE, ETC.

The lIsted topics are:

OFFBEAT BUT ORDINARY RELIGIONS AND "SPIRITUALITY" PAGANISM AND MAGICK, OCCULTISM, SATANISM WEIRD RELIGIONS UFOS AND PARANORMAL PHENOMENA STRANGE INDIVIDUALS PHILOSOPHY, THINKING ABOUT THINKING, ETC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WEIRD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ONLINE ETEXT PROJ'S, ETC SOME FTP SITES FORUMS FOR WEIRDNESS ON INTERNET BBS'S INFORMATION SERVICES DRUGS MAN!

Tagi@cup.portal.com appears to be organizing a weekly online magickal group. [excerpt from a post on alt.magick ...] >Note: This was originally posted to alt.magick and alt.cyberpunk about >a month or two ago (perhaps more). I will repost this every so often >so as to address attrition rates in our group. We are currently meeting >every Thursday (3:00 PST/6:00 EST/9:00 Brit.) and would enjoy new >members. Email me for the exact MUD address to which you'd connect. [there follows a long speculative discussion on fantasy and its expression in various mediums of communication and interaction, and the specific possibilities the net offers for "Cyber Ritual". probably best to look for the original post before you ask to join, IMNSHO!]

slopoke.mlb.semi.harris.com comments by Anon of Ibid: * This site has lots of Crowley texts and gifs, including the *complete* texts of the Book of Lies, Book of the Law, Book 4, Magick in Theory and Practice, Magick Without Tears, and some (or all) copies of the Equinox. (Crowley's magickal journal/ zine/publication type thing) All this stuff is in directory /pub/magick/incoming. But there's lots more than Crowley stuff. Check this site out. [Back to me:] Also worth perusing are wilson.on.cis, an online conference with RAWilson as guest participant, and cybercraft, which contains an exposition of Leary's 8-circuit model. ALSO, copies of the Equinox are retailing where I live for about $700 (for 10 vols.) at present. You could probably make yourself same money, and do yourself a favor, and violate some sort of copyright law by printing copies of the Equinox based on the slopoke material. In fact the whole slopoke site is just one of the best. They have an old alt.slack archive (old*slack!), extensive Notes on Kabbala that you won't find anywhere else, the Principia, and *best of all*: in /pub/incoming they have the up-to-date version of the Scriptures of V\R (see above). Praise Pippin!

*** WEIRD RELIGIONS ***

A historical document:

>From: hin9@tank.uchicago.edu (T. Rev) Newsgroups: alt.slack Subject: Re: Timelines Date: 5 Jun 89 00:42:01 GMT Given that the SubGeniuses seem to have been corrupted and poisoned by virtue of their long fight against the Conspiracy (e.g. 's 'selling out', Bob Black's increasing spiritual violence, the martyrdom of St. Reith, the slow disappearance of many of the church elders, and general dissatisfaction in the ranks, as well as the predicted Age of the Crowned and Conquering Bobbie), the time seems right for the appearance of another mindless, soul-destroying cult. Since the Discordians came along in 1959, and the Subs in 1979, 1989 would seem to be the next proper time for a major cult (so that the geometric series will converge just _after_ the supposed arrival of the X-ists (giving us needed slack time, of course)). In this light, and for research purposes only, not for sale or prescription at this time, I would like to ask of Mr. Parry a description of his doctrine of 'Kibology'--a Kibologist Manifesto, as it were. So, Mr. Parry, what say you?

T. Rev -- T. Rev -- Algebraic Theology The Harlequinade -- University of Dobbstown, Math Dept. Now now at -- hin9@tank.uchicago.edu

NASA Pics Sites NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous; I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting to transfer scores of gigabytes of pix and other material. To access the online catalog of NASA material, CD-ROMS, et cetera: telnet nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov login as "NODIS" no password

Anonymous ftp sites (five): nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov [128.183.10.4] This is a VAX/VMS box, so you must ftp-login as "anonymous".

>From corleyj@GAS.uug.Arizona.EDU Wed Oct 28 11:31:29 1992 In Robert Anton Wilson's _Illuminatus! Trilogy_, he describes a process used by Discordians, Erisians and Anarchists against governments, corporations and in general, The Establishment. This process involves sending many letters from different parts of the country/world and is called Operation Mindfuck. With the advent of e-mail, Operation Mindfucks are much more easily coordinated. One such network can be joined by e-mailing corleyj@gas.uug.arizona.edu. Networks are set up around communal responsibility. Everyone agrees to participate in everyone else's Mindfuck. If A helps B Fuck the IRS, then when B wants to Fuck the Department of Defense, A is obliged to help. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

*** STRANGE INDIVIDUALS ***

It is intended as a tool for experimental linguistics, as a medium for communication with computers, and as a possible international auxiliary language.

Lojban-list is an unmoderated mail reflector. New subscribers are asked to send their postal mailing addresses as well, so that they can be placed on the mailing list of The Logical Language Group, Inc., a non-profit organization. The postal mailing list provides materials that are useful in learning about the language.

*** SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ***

alife Contact: alife-request@cognet.ucla.edu

Purpose: The alife mailing list is for communications regarding artificial life, a formative interdisciplinary field involving computer science, the natural sciences, mathematics, medicine and others. The recent book _Artificial Life_, Christopher Langton, ed., Addison Wesley, 1989 introduces the scope of artificial life as a field of study. Alife was chartered in February 1990 at the Second Artificial Life Workshop, held in Santa Fe & organized by the Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe Institute. The list is intended primarily for low-volume, high-content scientific correspondence and as a publically accessible forum for the interested members of the public. Membership as of July 1990 includes over 1,200 addresses on four continents. There is an FTP-accessible archives/repository of past traffic, software and papers. The list is maintained by the Artificial Life Research Group, Computer Science Department, Lindley Hall 101, Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405. There are conditions on redistribution of the list in order to minimize any misunderstanding or exaggeration concerning this new area of study.

Counterev-L Contact: ae852@yfn.ysu.edu (Jovan Weismiller)

Purpose: This list is under the aegis of l'Alliance Monarchists and is dedicated to promoting the cause of traditional monarchy and the Counter Revolution. We believe in government based on natural law principles, decentralization, subsidiarity, an economy based on the principles of distributive justice, and the defense of traditional Western values.

We believe in a Europe, United, Traditional, and Free from the Atlantic to the Urals, but we oppose the centralizing bureaucracy of the Maastricht treaty. While we are based in the US, we are affiliated with L'Alliance pour la maintenance de la France en Europe, and we have members, as well as fraternal relations with the monarchist organizations, in most Western European countries.

We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in those countries without a living monarchist tradition.

(unseen) and future issues will include mailart sections. [speaking of which, is there such a thing as internet mailart yet?] send a request and luigi-bob will mail you with whatever he has. worth getting. and say you liked it if you did (same applies to all these people); feedback is essential at this stage of development.

It also spawned two feature films, a series of paperback novels, and lots more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. There are a number of international fan clubs for the series, but so far there has been no newsgroup or (electronic) mailling list devoted to it. Now there is.
