Being & Non-Being in Occult Experience
Produced by
Atramentous Press
Being and Non-Being in Occult Experience is a series of four volumes. The series serves to introduce readers to a spirituality, philosophy, existential-phenomenology, and depth psychology of occult experience through the lens of the dialectical relationship (the play) between becoming, being, and non-being. The author purports an anti-foundational “language” through which occult experience can be translated, transformed, transmuted, and ultimately (ex)communicated. Here, philosophical method in and of itself becomes alchemical and tantric, taking the reader on a transubstantiative journey into the textual flesh of writers such as:
• Aleister Crowley (The Book of the Law and Thelema) in Volume I
• Austin Osman Spare (Zos Kia Cultus) in Volume II
• Kenneth Grant (Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis) in Volume III
• Andrew Chumbley (Cultus Sabbati) in Volume IV
Each volume will demonstrate how Logos (Being) and A-Logos (Non-Being) continually affirm and negate one another as a means to create lived space for opposition; thereby forming a circularity of becoming through both presence and absence.
