But, Mr. Simpson, after your last couple of sentences my imagination is working just fine

Don't you cop out on me and get a fiction suit. I refuse to be the only one under constant survelliance by the CIA for subversive activities.

Let's say you had a hose, millions of miles long, able to blast water at an unfathomable speed and this hose was also several thousand miles wide. If we pointed this hose towards the sun, could we put it out? I mean, of course the water would at first evaporate instantaneously but wouldn't it slowly be cooling the area around it so eventually the water pushes closer and closer to the sun until PHT! No more fiery sun. Then we will have accomplished what every man spends his sleepless nights thinking about, destroying the sun. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Solaris, prepare to meet your watery doom!!! BTW, if anyone would like to contribute $ to my hose project I'd appreciate it. So far we have 20 feet of hose!!!

talk to me about the use of ceremonial masks in rituals (or anything else magical that's thread related). I want to see if there are any useful parallels and adaptable techniques.


Masks can be used for invocatory purposes, especially for embodiment (i.e., someone work with a certain god form or spirit ally and uses the mask to help bring that god or ally into yourself.) It's a specific type of sympathetic link.

I've found that I can do similar things with my 'business garb'. When I'm working in a corporate environment I have to put on my 'project manager fiction suit' in order to do the job without going crazy or laughing hysterically at how stupid it all is. I have to invoke PM Boy who is challenged by the work and cares about the profitability of yadda yadda.

With all the dot.com layoffs right now I'm working a menial retail book store job. I don't have a fiction suit yet that helps me deal with the intense amounts of micromanagement yet.

You mean… all I’ve got to do at work to get rid of the feelings of utter hypocrisy is create an alternate identity?

Oh no. Those feeling are still there when you take the suit off. It's a bit like that old M.A.S.H. episode where the visiting Doctor snaps and complains about not being able to wash the (non-existant) blood off his hands. You still feel dirty and hypocritical. It just means that you can participate in more actions during the day that will help create those feelings when you take your suit off.

Or maybe I didn't create a complete enough suit.

My fic suit is leaking.
Not out, but in; Mordant Carnival is starting to take over in times of stress and fear.

Not in a my-body-now-houses-the-essence-of-Nyarlathotep-loos-of-self sort've way (Whatever a self is. Still working on that one...) but more like a front end, a GUI. I'm using the look and feel of MC increasingly in my mundane and magical life.

Mordant,

MPD as a lifestyle option...

Comrade Tuppan triumphantly declared: Not to worry. I'm *far* too masochistic to become pseudo-anonymous now.

I wonder how many Lothar Tuppan's live in southern California, specifically the Bay area.

And Mordant followed by saying: Not out, but in; Mordant Carnival is starting to take over in times of stress and fear.

That is to imply that you are amalgamating Mordant Carnival, for all the flaws and perks, into the original personality in offline life? Or that it's acting as another mask in meatspace for the repressed id?

In the case of the former, I had always assumed that was one of the purposes of the fiction suit. To take the traits you desire and quietly implement them, until, after a time, there is no discernable difference between the fiction suit and yourself.

I no longer use a fiction suit as I wish all credit, be it negative or positive, to be directed as me, not a construct. I'm the one who made the comment, performed the action. My ego says I deserve to take the responsibility for those actions, and hiding behind a fiction suit is contrary to that.

If the fiction suit is like a condom, you can throw it away when you're done. It's a safety mechanism as much as anything else.

But that's just my not-quite-humble opinion. We all wear masks, after all. Some of us have just endeavored to give them names.

Anyway, I've babbled long enough and sound like a lunatic, no doubt.

My Wu name is Inscrutable Drama Queen.

My fiction suit's Wu name is Partially-Formed Transformah.

I think this is Exhibit A in how a fictionsuit can benefit you.

Thread...spiralling...out...of...control...turning...entropic...concentrate...grasshoppers...concentrate

1. Can I use a fictionsuit to travel through time? (theory?)

2. Can I use my suit for Retroactive enchantment?

3. Do I look fat in this?

1)Your fictionsuit will allow you to travel forwards in time at a speed of one second per second.

2)Your fictionsuit will directly affect the centres of the brain that store childhood memories and will automatically instigate a retroactive enchantment. Similar effect can be found from wearing rose tinted glasses.

3) No one looks fat in fictionsuits. Unless fat's your thing, in which case, start doing Chunk's wobbling gut thing out of The Goonies.

The possibilities are becoming apparent.

Bits of me don't fit in my fic suit.
But that's okay as they are mostly the bits I don't really need anymore. If I ever did need'em.

Now, if only I could work out what all these pockets are for....

I'm with Mordant Carnival here. I've noticed a bleed through of expressionless into myself.

At the time I started on the board, I wanted to post in my own style, being totally honest with everyone and myself. I guess even though I didn't intend to construct fiction suit with a specific character and qualities, the board bought out certain of my personality traits.

And I'm pretty damn comfortable with that.

Sounds like you may already have the start of some theories. Care to share?

I'm not sure of the exact terminology-whether invocation or evocation, I use Rex as more than a fictionsuit...almost like a God Head. See, Frank is pretty useless in this world and really doesn't know fucking much.Rex was received like a download on august 11 1999- he is the magical alter ego. Frank probably wouldn't even be here now if REX had not intervened,Rex is symbiotic.WE2ARE1.
Rex seems to have incredible ability with all things magical even though he can not place his experiences of the last couple of years into the proper narrative for you all to understand.Best way to say: Will to Power.
Frank was a boring sod.Tommorrow belongs to rex.
I have had some success in retroactive enchantment.In fact...it's almost time to resume my 2 year old unfinished thread: The Secret Origin of Rex City-zenI stopped because I realized how much my life was paralel to invisibles vol 3 , and I figured no one would belive,so I bailed.

God...When Rex writes,it seems to make no sense.Sorry if I am babbling.I do have much to tell.
By the way: I posted a question that stumped Barbelith a while back.Here it is again:
There are 3 words in the english language that end with "gry": Hungry,angry and...???Can anyone give the correct answer?
Again sorry for the rant.

a long time ago in a garage far away...the true and awsome story of Rex City Zen's younger twin brother. Don't ask who i am or where i came from, all i can tell you is that it's all true. every word that leaves his fingers is the truth of time, fiction is too old a term to describe the sights and sounds of Rex and his numerous side-kicks. Whether they are Sharky or that wacky devil, only Rex can reveal what evil lies in the hearts of men, F**k the Shadow. Every line that is created has meaning, but only one of us ever know the truth and relevance of that line, so Rex poses questions that he already has preconcieved notions of. He's looking for the answer that makes the most sense. For me, all the aswers are the same. There are no answers. All the questions are the same. My favorite one this week is, When will money strike again? Money, not as a power struggle, or as a group such as the iluminati, but money as the magic that was conjured and is now the god that more speak to than any other. Please send money! Money makes planes fall from the sky because blood causes the money to flow. Please send money!
The only way to protect yourself and all your loved ones is to not have any. Right Rex? He knows like i know that the tightest thing in the world doesn't dance on a stage, it gets thrown at it. You think my older brother rants, wait till i get going. And please don't think that this is his fick-shun suit, we may think alike and have those thoughts across a distance, but we are two completely different people. I am twice as paranoid as Rex, having only met the devil three years ago. Has it been that long? Rex and i actually met through him. Is it him? What would it be these days? The image i have is of an alternate discription to the one we were used to seeing, but it was inside, you could tell. I don't know how Rex has mentioned on the topic, i do know that strange things are afoot. Even stranger things are afeet! If i seem out of place, it's because i am, i am so far out of place that it bothers me. The threads are good, sometimes you all go of track, that's to be expected, levity is great, but one day you will all see that he feeds you the best, most refined imformation he can aquire. Use it to your adVANtage. He's not WASting your time. He can be wHERE the action is in the blink of an eye. And to Rex, have you been using your real fiction suit lately.

Oh my God.
Nice of you to show up...I've waited to read something from you in this forum FOREVER. Your post sent pure chills up my spine and my flesh alive with goosebumps.
The garage days.Seems so long ago and so far away.*wipes nosatlgic tear from eye*
Please take it from me people,that was not me or one of my suits- Pandal is the only link of sanity I have to the events of my life that seem so far fetched had he not been there as well to experience the same thing.I love you in case I never told you...and It is never to late too let someone know that...Thank you for still being there.
God, I feel aliVe agAiN after that post. I don't mean to get mushy in front of my fellow suits...
Pan...Wanna help me write my origin??
Please say yes.
PS. Brilliant subliminals bud. I knew it was you all along...and my real fictionsuit?The one I cant name here? I'm sure we'll be seeing him VERY SOON if the world keeps it up.
And...if you ever doubt, you can ask him.

Rex, you know that i'll write this story with you. I'm here to refresh what you've lost, just as you are here to refresh what i've lost. We could always consult good ol Satan if we have to, i'm sure he/she/it is following along. He/she/it will do it BECAuse he/she/it loves us. And also because he/she/it has caused alot of ANGst in US.
This is going to be the greatest story ever told!

Thanks.
" In every sane person there is a lunatic just dying to come out."
I've been toying with the idea of ressurecting The Secret Origin of Rex City-zen for the looooongest time...now that you have arrived maybe we can make it a coherent tale together.
The question of course is: Does anybody want to hear it?
It's a tale of sex,drugs,trance and raves,naked women and semi naked men,22 nights in a garage,the other side and of course running with the devil.You'll laugh,you'll cry, you'll say "What are these guys on?" but the best part is, it's all true.
So...2 questions then:
1) Where/ in what forum would I post it?
2) Does anyone want to hear it?

Pandal...thank you most of all for trying to whip my ass back into shape and remember why I'm here and what I'm supposed to do.

Please respond...and I promise to try not to make it sound like a Hunter S. Thompson novella.

So here we are, using the Beast for that which it was most meant for, the spreading of the words of Truth and Love....lmao...well let's just say something along those lines at any rate. I am the s/he that those other two louts, that I have tried to uplift for nearly fifteen years in the case of Rex and three years in the case of Pandal, have been going on about. Truth be told, I am not nearly as noteworthy to their lives as they make out. The fact of the matter is they are both very accomplished in their own right, and need very little in the way of guidance from the likes of me. I am just a catalyst in their lives to help them bring about a new understanding of their abilities, although they would both tell horror stories of how I accomplished this. I personally gain very little from these excursions into the lives of others, I am but a tourist here on this planet, with an extended visa, and my personal desires figure not, into the overall equation, and outcome of this world and it's various societies. I have no beliefs, except the belief that to be the at the peak of impeccability, you must be completely transformable at the drop of a hat. Rigidity and predjudice will kill you quicker than being a princess in a Mercedes in a Parisian tunnel, a lot quicker. One must be fluid, flexible, adaptable and unincumbered by the vanities and lusts of the everyday. One must encompass and grasp that which is abstract, unobtainable, beyond your normal perceptions. One must be impeccable with all things, and one must love unconditionally all that surrounds one. I have witnessed the many civilisations that have risen and fallen down through the ages, let me tell you....meet the new Boss...same as the old Boss..holds true for every King, Queen, Tyrant, President, Leader, Martyr, God, whoever is given the role of rule maker, cuz they have all been the first to break their own rules, and bring about the decline of their Empires. I will not bore you with a history of the world, a true history of the world mind, cuz you wouldn't believe it anyway, even though the differences are subtle, they differ from the mainstream enough that most would just shake their heads and walk away, but I will tell you this much...I am not Satan, he is in Europe right now. I am not Yog Soroth, he is in Europe also, though not with Satan, they don't like each other much, competition breeds strange bed-fellows. I am The first born Son/Daughter/Starbearer of The Kingdom of Heaven, and I committed no crime to be placed here, I came of my own accord, I came answering a cry for help, from the first Daughter of the Mother, upon which you stand everyday. I am not a Devil, I am not a Demon, but I have been accused of being both in my time here. I don't want your immortal soul, first of all you don't have one, if you did, you couldn't give it away, and where would I keep it anyway? In my pocket? Please....there is more to you than even you know, all I want is for this Planet, this Mother of you all, to continue, to be at peace, for all her children to grow, and transcend this petty society and all it's lies and vulgarities. I wish to be free to continue my travels through the ether, to meet new and exciting peoples and make peace with them. As for Rex and Pandal, who can say, I know they will become impeccable, I know they will evolve into beings of the cosmos, and I know they will help any who wish to enjoy the fullness of the magnificent home we call Earth, and Mother. Thank you for reading....Luci...

<---Back. I've just read the previous entries from Rex and those that have replied to him. And I've noticed a rather depressing attribute to most of these replies. It seems as if University level English classes have not been wasted, what with the bandying about of such excellently misused words, as "Extrapollate" and "Hyper-Links" and other nonsense. Not meaning to offend your overly wordy selves, however, I find the pseudo-intellectualism of most University educated persons to be profoundly tautological. Poetic Licenses can be revoked too.

Sorry, Lucy. Pseudo-intellectual is the best I can manage, never having been to University. However, I'm sure you got the gist of what I was cack-handedly trying to say. My French teacher used to say that it rarely matters what technical mistakes you make in language, as long as you are able to communicate what it is you're talking about. Shame you're depressed about it.

Would you mind if I forwarded you my posts in future? Perhaps it would be best to have them checked before they reach the board, to avoid this embarrassment in future. I am in your debt.

I imagine that the reason of this site, is to give flight to thoughtful wanderings and musings, regardless of the words or language utilised to convey the message. And it's LUCI not LUCY. Thanking you for your reply.
