Psychological Inversion ⛧

[IllusiveOwl]

There are two ways for a pentagram to point, towards the heavens, or towards the earth. This is a basic & simple observation for many of you, but using this duality can help identify a lot of inverted values and sicknesses that our aeon, species, and zeitgeist have raised you in. Unfortunately, an overwhelming majority of the people I have seen are downcast & lost towards the Earth, giving us this age of decay, depravity, science, and sleep we're living in.

One very prevalent inverted value that I've seen only become worse with the inflation of hookup culture is that of beauty. Likely, you reading this find certain people attractive based on the forms of their bodies, and others repulsive on similar judgements. The whole pornography culture that exists today is built on titillating that part of you that finds a person's vehicle stimulating. As a downside, there are studies that show teachers, healthcare professionals, and authorities will treat unattractive people worse and offer worse service to them as opposed to those in beautiful bodies. Beliefs founded in racism also stem directly from this perspective, as if the color or origin of a person's vehicle has anything to do with the soul within. You can see a person's body, and so you may judge them easily & quickly based off of how they appear, this is a judgement made of Earth, of the inverted pentagram.

The upright pentagram of this inverted value would be seeing the driver within the car: seeing a person's body seen as a mere vehicle, flesh that holds their true unseen being. Seeing a person's being isn't something we're taught to see on a large scale, and as a result people's ability to see atrophies before it is even developed. If a person cannot see the being in others, if they have no solid concept of this - other than the vague, whimsical, undefined idea of a soul that religions peddle - how can they develop their own being?

This is just the beginning to a discussion. What inverted values can you think of and dive into? What's the inversion of the lust for power? The quest for immortality or knowledge? Share your views!

when you work with possession its nice to feel the goodness of your body as a reminder your alive and that a body feels good to have.

I find this incomprehensible. Maybe I'm missing a cipher?

Apologies. I was trying to participate.

If the inversion of lust for power is not relinquishing power to a team, aka teamwork, then my next best guess is "submission".

my next best guess is "submission".

Well submission still operates on worldly power: slave mentality is the opposite to master mentality, though both are rooted in the Earth, they are both inverted.

The Zen master - for example - is slave to none and seeks no titles or dominion. Surely this state would be akin to an upright pentagram mentality.

The inversion of the lust for power is a lust for freedom. Even the master is chained to his slaves and hoard, so he is the opposite of a free man.

Nice.

I think I'm struggling with the inversion, as a concept, particularly the orientation of the pentagram. I really like what you've written. It's a very cool way of looking at things.

I think I'm struggling with the inversion, as a concept, particularly the orientation of the pentagram.

The difference between the two can be glimpsed by how they're tied to RHP & LHP philosophies. It's very simple, maybe I didn't elaborate enough.

The pentagram has 5 points and can represent man with 4 limbs and a head, as well as the 5 elements, with the result - us - at its center. The point - head - pointed downwards is the chief symbol for the Temple of Set and in general has super LHP & Black Magician vibes. Why would they choose this symbol? The head pointing down suggests the direction of energy, the focus, with the feet pointing up towards the divine, suggesting detachment from the Earth & a source of Divine power. There is the Earth & Heavens, to bring the Chinese into this. Earthly power, domain, the realm of the physical, these are things the inversion focuses on. The Black Magician classically is a sorcerer who uses their power for personal gain and profit.

The pentagram turned upright is associated with paganism, Wiccan stuff, and it's on the head of Baphomet... frankly it's such a widely used symbol I don't feel like I have a total grasp on its full context, but here it's simply turned upright, with its head pointed up towards the heavens and its feet rooted in the Earth, which has a lot of implications. Overall this is associated with Altruism, RHP, Oneness, and Zen. The direction of energy and its goals are not of this physical world.

I think using this schema to apply to values, morals, etc, are really useful and interesting too, it's why I made this thread, but I can only do so much yapping as a single soul.

This inversion also has serious drawbacks to people born inside of it and completely unaware of it. You could say the inverted perspective is strict materialism, something new to us as a species with the overthrowing of religion in favor of secular scientific dogma. I'm not saying things were better then, but the magic of wonder is as lifeless as the scientific view of a star being a ball of burning hot gas.

This inverted perspective extends to psychology & physiology being the definition of who you are. You are not a person, you are the electrical artifact of your fleshy brain processing its environment. You have no control, your hormones and the chemicals within your brain decide how you feel, your psyche and trauma decide how you act, your income & environment decide your options. Bullshit, of course, but how can you call it if there isn't any other alternative? It's hard to think people reasonably live so helplessly, but I see it every day. On the inverse, if you're still trapped in this mindset, it's hard to think people could have such control without being lifeless, detached, cold husks.

I see this use of the pentagram as more of a way to forcibly look at the other perspective of things, sort of like it's a dial on a radio you spin on a problem to see the other pole. It's a mind-tool to stimulate thinking, I'm in no way saying this is what the pentagram was designed to do.
