Declaration of Creative Independence
You have to be deeply frustrated to need to discredit the work of others simply because someone thinks differently, produces more, or decides to explore territory that you never dared to touch. It is one thing to question ideas with arguments, and quite another to build an identity around speaking ill of other people's work. I have never needed that mechanism. My work exists on its own and will continue to exist regardless of opinions, groups, sycophants or small social media wars. Sirius Limited Esoterica has been my publisher since 2014. I built it precisely to have absolute freedom over what I write, research and publish. I don't need to ask permission to develop a concept, experiment with a certain current or take my research to places that make those who prefer to repeat known formulas uncomfortable. I will publish what I consider necessary because that independence is part of my way of understanding creation.
I am 54 years old. At this point in my life I am not seeking validation, followers, or approval from any esoteric circle. I'm also not competing to show who knows the most, who has the most books or who gets the most applause. That need belongs to another kind of mentality. I work because I still have things to investigate, sounds to build, books to write and conceptual territories to take much further. And that's precisely where the problem begins for some: not everyone is ready for what's coming. Magic is entering another territory. The relationship between technology and consciousness is just beginning to show its possibilities. Artificial intelligence, digital systems, experimental sound, interfaces, new forms of perception and ritual structures developed from contemporary paradigms are going to radically transform many of the ideas that for decades were considered untouchable.
Some will understand this displacement. Others will react with fear, contempt, or sarcasm because their identity depends on everything remaining exactly as they learned it twenty, thirty, or fifty years ago. Let them then stay with their theories; let them keep their obsolete books, their petrified interpretations, and their permanent need to guard a past that has already exhausted many of its possibilities. I have no interest in becoming a guardian of an esoteric museum, my interest is in mutation. I will continue to experiment with magic and technology because there is a huge territory there that still remains practically unexplored. I will continue to create music because sound continues to be one of my fundamental research tools. I will continue to write books because each book can become a laboratory to develop an idea to its ultimate consequences. And I will continue to transform my own systems when I feel they have done their job.
I have no obligation to stay the same to make others feel comfortable. Nor do I need to justify every transformation. To mutate means to remain intellectually alive. While some continue to argue about who correctly interprets an ancient text, I prefer to ask myself what can be constructed now. While others need authorities to legitimize every step, I will continue to enter areas where there are no authorities yet because the language itself is just beginning to form.
Many are not yet ready to grasp the dimension of what may arise when magic, technology, sound, and consciousness begin to be seriously integrated. And that's okay. No one is obliged to follow that path. But I'm also not going to stop my work waiting for others to be ready. Let each one remain where he wants to remain. I will continue in total desolation, exploring, mutating, making music, writing books and building my own systems. I will continue to do exactly what I want. Because after decades of work, that freedom is worth infinitely more than the approval of any circle, group or audience, likes or followers. The others can preserve their ruins. I'm still building what's coming.
