The Infinity Network Ezine is an experiment in autonomous occult publication.

 

This publication has never been, and will never be, for profit.

 

Started in 2010 the ezine aims to showcase the current thoughts, techniques, philosophy and perspectives of today‘s occult practitioners of all paradigms. We do not censor or disregard valid submissions based on the practitioner‘s idiosyncratic point of view.

 

The zine went through various stages of development over time. From HTML only format to a highly distributed pdf publication, there have been meetings discussing content, structure and layout, to full out verbal warfare over planning details. We have, since the beginning promoted the writings of authors from all different walks, belief systems and groups.

 

Letter From The Editor

If we could  take religion and spirituality and say these things are the personalities of god perceived by the individual we would then be able to interpret all things in existence as equal in potential for effect. In life all things are essentially perceived through filters, therefore by the time the information is received and internalized we have already subconsciously defined it. It is in this way that we interact with, explore, shape and try to understand that which cannot be named. A process that effects our interpretation of reality before it ever becomes something we want to consciously effect.

It has been said that these experiential filters are primarily programmed by society, and I would tend to agree to an extent but I think ultimately it goes beyond that onto a much simpler platform.

Your own mental and emotional filters are built upon your own experiences. Each new experience is interpreted and built upon the ones before, a constantly evolving database of commands that allows you the function to see with the minds eye. This lends to the theme and contrast to your existence. Divide, multiply, add, subtract, understand.

Upon this background you bring and realize all new phenomenon into your consciousness, to be added to your matrix and further evolve the program of the existing self. This creates the silhouette of your uniqueness. Growth, change, creation are the only constants. When we are able to step back and observe the becoming, we can untie ourselves from the bondage of experience and yet reap its rewards of knowledge. This is quintessence of beauty; the free individual.

We are all different, on some level we all disagree.

On other levels we agree.

That means we agree.

The Infinity Network is open to all paths, paradigms and belief systems. We have members and affiliates from all walks of life and schools of thought. There is a global revitalization in art and culture of the true freedom behind the idea of “do what thou wilt”. This spirit that seems to be enrapturing the masses at a steady increase, the rate of transmission picking up speed. We are seeing more contrast and blending than ever before. This network is a bridge to a center point in which we can bring all things together and connect and collaborate across belief systems and across the world.

Our expressions and experiments are our evolving language. We speak all in different tongues yet the meanings translate. Allowing us, from our own platform of realization, to transcend the self and contribute to the eternal unshakable tower.

I have not seen anything quite like this publication before in my life.

This is the underground perspective of chaos magicians and hyper-meta philosophers, the voice of humanitarians and mystics, artists and rebels, poets and literalists: from the introverted to the explosive, this is their voice.

Contributions and distribution is completely grassroots and autonomous, each author and group promoting and uploading as they see fit. Because of this network effect it is impossible to determine the exact number of readers. However the statistics of downloads/reads on my personal uploads alone are well into the thousands.

Works have been translated into Spanish, German and Portuguese by individuals and distributed on foreign servers.

Infinite Current means it includes all of us. All of us means you too. This publication is a platform for our voice. Inclusive, connective and organic it has grown with us. Art as virtue. This zine is not about the infinity network, its about what the infinity network can do to promote the individual with the collaborative voice of the living occult.
