MANIFESTO FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EMBODIED COLLECTIVE REALITY
I. The psycho-etheric is political. Interior life and the metaphysical landscape are not separate domains but intermeshed forces. We treat esoteric practice as a political site.
II. We create avenues for interfaith praxis whenever possible, as gesture of trans-secular solidarity in the face of the parasite class, the extent of whose predacity has been made visible in the post-Epstein era.
III. The purpose of work is collective liberation from intersecting systems of violent domination from this parasite class.
IV. We guard our bodily and neurological autonomy in an age of extraction. We refuse tech implants of any kind, and avoid digital identification like biometric linking.
V. We protect the realness of human relation. We challenge our modernity-poisoned impulse for comfort and dopamine-glutted attention spans, and swear against using AI to draft personal messages of any kind.
VI. We practice attentional sovereignty and screen-time asceticism, cultivating disciplines that reclaim focus from the digital abyss.
VIU. Embodiment (via rest, nourishment, movement, slowness, pleasure, and focus in the face of discomfort) is a practice requiring consistent cultivation in the midt of the ever-widening territory of virtuality. Virtuality, for all it has given us in the form of cyberculture’s haven, is the immediate precursor to corporeal disassociation and as such, disassociation from our fundamental necessary impetus towards a localized network.
VIII. We embrace critique of what is the latest or newest in technology, favoring technology from bygone or slightly out-of-date moments in time: decentralized tools beyond the smartphone monopoly, repairability, physical cash exchange, and tools that minimize third-party extraction.
IX. We cultivate curiosity toward the unfolding mystery of UAPs, advocating for the accelerated adoption of non-fossil-fuel energy systems, modeled on / inspired by crafts operating on energy sources presently unknown.
