POETRY BY WILLIAM O'CONNOR: THE "CHANTER" SERIES OF POETRY

We luckily now live in a period where there is an abundance of genius in every possible field of human endeavor. This NOW is a great time for we Druids. What is it we believe in and why is it we believe in what we do? Here are some of the answers. Following is a very brief synopsis of "The Faith of Old Europe" of "The Old Believers" from Ballydavid Head. For they who may possibly be interested in the more esoteric ESP aspects, it might be worth your time to travel there to study with the old Druids for extensive periods. Learn. Train. Work. Live. Love. Create. That's all there is to it. In Druid practice, and particularly in that of its Dingle Sect, the thymus gland is named "the hidden heart." Heart-Healing, a Druid practice, deals with methods for the regulation of the actions of the thymus gland for preserving health. Collectively, this particular Druid practice is named: "The Chariot Way," in respect of the harsh training of the ancient Celtic warrior elite. Evidence from Chalcolithic inscriptions on hand axes from the Copper Age indicates that the "Old Belief" is at least seven thousand years old and is possibly far older. This does accord well with the legends regarding "The She" or "Her, The Blue-Eyed One" as genetics has shown that the introduction of blue eyes (brown eyes being the norm) occurred around the same time in humanity's evolution. In myth, "The She" is credited as our "mother" of invention of "The Old Belief." In our Druid interpretation, all philosophies and all theologies have to be originally man-made. They are made up. Religion is a necessary constituent of civilized life, but it has to be based upon both reason and reality. No one person could possibly have all the answers and all the solutions, but most people don't even know which are the most important questions to ask. Belief in deities and in demons is considered to be worse than stupid: It's sick, an infection, and it is delusional. Since deities can't exist, any belief system claimed to be from such, or from a messenger from such a deity, is despicable; just because it is based upon complete, deliberate fabrication: It's a lie. A vengeful and psychotic people shall create a vengeful, psychotic deity to worship in imitation of themselves: Hatred pollutes. In our "Old Belief", which could be classified as a form of Gnostic pan-psych-ism, all things will come into existence whenever they become capable of being known; so, inversely then, that which cannot be known cannot exist, as its essence cannot be recognized. That which cannot be known cannot ever be because it lacks the single necessary characteristic of a possibility of essence recognition. Different Druidic schools of thought differ as to what can be known and what could be recognized as known. Space, time and motion are then each considered to be mere holographic illusions, not real. The Dingle school, which is by far the most esoteric of the many schools, stresses synesthesia methods of sense enhancement so that this recognition is increased and, therefore, more things are given the power to come into existence. It's an Activation Sect. In the Dingle Druid tradition, as still centered in Ballydavid, the "Nothingness" from which all things flow and come into existence is, in itself, caused by "Knowing." The core faith in "The Old Belief" is this insistence upon: "Know that Being is Knowing; that Knowing is Being." This emphasis on the "knowable" as the sole void-ground of nothingness from which all existence is continuously emerging is the distinguishing characteristic of Druidism as a faith, as a religion and as a philosophy. Druidism is an epistemological metaphysics that stresses the morals and ethics of "Knowing." That which enhances and fosters acquiring knowledge is always to the good while that which censors and hinders knowledge's acquisition is always evil. Druidism is therefore a Gnostic discipline as it deals with the methods hidden behind "Knowing" and is Pan-Psychic since it stipulates "Knowing" as the sole causative agent of creation. Humanity was formed by non-directed evolution, but all new human species are made through the sexually selected directed evolution of humanity: Words will make worlds. Words will make for man's reality also; as through his public enunciation, man shall make his world. They, those occupiers of the world's over-class; they who make the members of the oligopolistic-political-plutocratic families, shall always seek control of the world's media. Pledging one's loyalty and support to any state's constitution is just as stupid and is just as dumb, as is supporting and submitting to any faith's "holy" book; for both states and faiths are run, never by you, but by some other few in the over-class. Any faith, whether it be a belief in a religion, in a state, or in an ethnic group, as having received some sort of a divine mandate or angelic disposition for its origin and existence, is evil. It is in fact a pernicious lie; for there exists no deity, nor any deities that possibly could give such a mandate: There is no God to trust in! Pronouncing the true name of anything "loud out aloud" results in its creation and in its continuance for he who may say and state that name. Our multi-universe continues upon its existence in the chanting enunciation of its true thinking-thought-word jointly by its inhabited sentient species, and there are very many on other worlds. Responsibility for one's own safety and security resides entirely with you, as an individual. If one transfers and seeks to assign this responsibility over to the State, one becomes a Serf of the State. Changing the ways a person thinks changes the ways a person behaves. Behavior, in particular, all of human social behavior, is directly the result of genetic heritage: It isn't the environment! Faiths and belief systems that seek to diminish or to suppress the human spirit are evil from their very inception. Irredentism has always been both bane and the demon of civilization. Behavioral change is the basis for belief, whether that belief might be of ethnic, cultural, political, or religion based. There is no such thing as the "sacred" scripture; whether that tract be political, economic, social or religious in its nature. As with a belief in visiting "aliens," the belief in "god" tends to demote, despise and denigrate human ability. Authorities and pundits are rarely right about anything; trust only in those observations engendered by personal experience. Secrets deal only in already tested methodologies for training brain and body. The reason there are such secrets, is that not everyone can face, or is even capable of facing, the truth as to the nature of reality; very few can, in fact. Knowledge cannot be gained without a long, hard training. Psychic skill, like martial skill, demands persistence, patience and practice for extensive periods of time. Psychic abilities directly derive from enhancing one's already existing senses through severely arduous training. The training is both long and difficult and it's without shortcuts. Paranormal psychic skills, like martial arts' skills, are to be acquired gradually, over a long period of time. For Druids, such training begins by the age of three after the child has been tested for any natural ability. It takes a minimum of ten thousand hours of training before such skills could be employed in the real world and very few can have the innate genetic capability to begin such training. Druids have always acknowledged the truth that all people will adhere to, advocate for, fight for and act on behalf of different beliefs, simply because people are so very different genetically; and this is why we Druids don't advertise nor proselytize our belief system. Never be fooled by nor be enslaved by faiths or states. Once one is obeisant, one shall always be so. Learn all you can from all you can about all you can! Never bow your head before stupidity nor ever kneel to it, for that's dishonor: Respect skill, knowledge and wisdom. Only fools would be concerned with, or express an interest in, the theories, the opinions, the faiths and the beliefs of imbeciles and of idiots. Beware the collar, the bit, the bridle, of slavish belief. Beware the coming wars among the many savage theistic deist faiths. Faith systems made by schizophrenic psychopaths will attract the same as themselves for their most ardent adherents. Religion can't be logical; a claim that any one is such or could be such is always false, as it's entirely emotional. Any revealed religion is irrational and schizophrenic, as revelation must come from within and never from without. All ethnic religions are "revealed," in that an ethnic religion shall have, at its very core a similar submission belief structure; such religions being both political and legal systems, specifically designed to shove into dominance a single ethnicity, as the purpose behind revealed religion is ensuring for the present protection and for the future procreation for one particular ethnicity. Revealed religions' intimidation strategy resides in inducing paranoia; by forcing subscription to faith, by fear of retribution. Because of their common Zoroastrian origins, of war of light vs. dark, Abrahamic faiths share an inherent genocidal core. A demented deity is the psychic projection of a demented culture and always will lead to death. Such an insane deity and such a psychotic culture ought not to be admired, nor should ever be accepted and respected; since stupid beliefs in any bad and foolish retarded deity cause cruel cultures to thrive and are, far worse, the cause for cruel conflicts and wars. Righteousness is primitive. Compassion is elegant, beautiful and is so sophisticated. Freedom "from" religion makes for a far greater right and is better liberty than freedom "of" religion. All "book religions" must necessarily be evil religions. There exists no deity that dictates; certainly, none that deserves our respect: Dictation could not be a divine attribute. God is not what made creation nor can a God ever be creation. Creation makes creation. God is Creating! You are each God. Hidden divinity slumbers within every skull, waiting its turn to be bid awake; to rise up from deep sleep. Doing the right thing is not what life is about. Life is about doing the romantic thing for life is far too short not to. The brain is radically changed by whatever it chooses to perceive; so, if it perceives beauty it becomes good. That which we shall choose to attend most to, we will become; so pay therefore prime attention to beauty. There's no resurrection or reincarnation but there surely is an achievement of enlightened perception: To Know! Any religion that demands its adherents be martyrs is evil. Un-Self the self in order to find your destiny; as your old self is but the slave and pawn of society. Our belief expects of its Druid adherents to be POETS! For Druids, poetry is prayer. Poetry seeks out, speaks to, connects to, and communicates directly with universal consciousness. Poetry acts as the sentient panto-graph of compassionate consciousness. Poetry is the highest of all the human endeavors. With regard to criticism of any work, only listen to the opinions of those who themselves have done it well; the rest ignore, as their opinions are worthless. As with faiths, so with the states. States requiring residents to sacrifice; and not to live and love, are excretable. Investments are never safe and are always at risk, whether they be of love or of money; but invest all the same. One has to go, to seek out, to find whatever one does well; then, to long work at it to learn to do it even better. So work the instrument of creativity: Self. Know thy-Self, and make thy-Self create. Only then shall you be happy. Once one has recognized that one creates well and good, what the remainder of men do is totally irrelevant, as it is of no importance. A great advantage genius has is this: the need no longer to care what others might think or say in any way. Only those poor fools; they not capable of creation shall seek to convert others to follow their false faith. How's false fate shown and known? What sly indication is there that gives truth away? Whenever one spies "worship" connected with a belief, one is encountering idiocy! The abattoir faiths and states, those demanding the self-sacrifice of their members, should be spat upon and despised, as their delusions kill their believers and adherents as well as many others who are not their believers and adherents. Men absent vision and inspiration make themselves followers of fraud, of faiths lacking sound foundations. There exists a vast chasm between those who can create and those who can only critique upon creations of others. Few can create something new and truly original, never seen nor heard before. Shun states and faiths asking their peoples to service them; states and faiths should service their own people. Worship nothing. But be you constantly in awe of everything; for this universe is coherent, and this world can be well understood; given enough time, effort and a persistent will. Nature is the one sole sacred scripture; so, study it. Worry not then about the actions, nor those in-actions of others; work, so your own creations might come into BEING. Be scrupulously conscientious concerning creativity. Work at it! Persevere! Be persistent! Never give up! Whatever your belief or faith, whether it's justified or not; don't let your philosophy trump your humanity. A meaningful and fulfilling life can only be achieved by engaging daily in creative activity. WILL ensures survival; for the courage to create is what shall carry and shall sustain you throughout life. Drink coffee, and take Vitamins B-12, B-6, B-2, Folic Acid daily to ensure neurogenesis creation in the hippocampi, and to prevent cortical thinning in the medial temporal lobe, temporal pole, and the superior frontal gyrus. Cod liver oil as its extracted from North Atlantic cod, is traditional remedy for memory loss in Dingle. Turn TV off! One percent of the entire human population is afflicted with gross amygdala basal ganglia malformation. This is due to an inheritable genetic defect in regulating production of serotonin by the reproduction of mono-amine oxidase A enzyme; resulting in a psychopathology. A further full four percent are sociopaths. These are those born absent conscience because of malformation in their prefrontal cortex. Since both psycho-pathology and socio-pathology are neuron-genetic defects, the solution is abortion, contraception, infanticide and the tubal ligation of women expressing such defects and vasectomies for those men convicted of felonies; in effect, the answer is forced sterilization of all those possessing genetic defects that will result in future criminal behavior on the part of any offspring, the assumption being that those who have already exhibited behaviors inimical to the peace and prosperity of society shall be those whose children shall also be exhibiting the same such antisocial unethical behaviors. That's the best long-term solution. Acquiring skills in martial techniques is therefore necessary for survival. Martial training requires a minimum of three hours practice daily for over ten years in order to acquire some expertise. Windmill-blocking by knees and elbows while slashing with both shins and forearms is strategy within Boxing. Boxing power derives from whirling the torso inside, like hammer-throwers, while slicing out with three limbs. In the bare-boxing style of my family, the hands and feet are utilized to hold, fixing; so as to trap an opponent. By using these "four-hands" to seize, hold immobile and to grasp, the forearms, shins, elbows, shoulders, knees and the head can be utilized for striking under the coccyx and all along the spinal cord and upon the top of the nape of the neck of an opponent. All strikes are directed at the enemy's back, at his blind side and not at his front. This boxing style is mirrored from how sea birds along the far west Irish coast utilize their wings to fight with during their mating season. It's a hybrid Norse-Celtic martial system emanating from Dingle's Smerwick Harbor. It's purely for combat and it is not designed for sport. Celtic wrestling is the sport, not boxing. Boxing is for war. Every society, in order to survive, has to make a compromise between quality and quantity of its populace. The main problem with humanity is that the worse reproduce more than the best. Druids have always known this. Druids are traditionally expected to and all are, by their religious orientation, morally obligated to intervene in questions of chivalry on behalf of the best against the worse. Killing is easy. Healing is hard. Gentle is he who can control his own anger and can turn his just rage into love. As you act, so shall you be. Prayer might seem to change nothing. It changes you and that's all the difference. There is a benignity that pervades in the universe; whenever it might be encountered one may but incline the head in response. When species encounter extreme population density they'll bifurcate. As empathy, sensitivity, intelligence, creativity and longevity positively correlate; humanity split between those with these five attributes and those without. Conflicts in the past have served as quick biological accelerators for this natural human species-bifurcation process. Differences in belief create cultures; cultures drive sexual selection and sexual selection drives evolution. Near access to water and woods is necessary for tranquility and serenity; people aren't, a few are. Live accordingly. Just as there's no before-life there's no after-life; but there may be many lives within a present life. Production of better and more goods and services is what makes any nation prosperous and richer, so fostering income and increasing capital investment is necessary for public welfare. So flat consumption excise taxes ought only to be levied (not on income, and not on employment, and not on capital gains). A 10% VAT flat excise tax levied upon all and any financial transactions that's to be calculated upon the actual trading values of purchases and sales of all puts, calls, futures, bonds, stocks, options, debentures and derivatives, would be far more than enough to cover any society's basic repair infrastructure needs. In post-industrial societies, the actual production of goods happens abroad, and not within the State; so customs' levied excise tariff duties of ten percent ad valorum should be imposed upon all imported goods. Transactions in securities are made by those who have disposable incomes, or else they would not be into trading; so a 10% excise tax imposed on such trades diminishes speculation in financial instruments, the sole cause of modern economic crises. Once any State's gross domestic public debt per capita exceeds its gross domestic product per capita, it becomes virtually insolvent. Any nation whose foundation and occupation was and is avarice and greed can't and won't survive. Evolution is the becoming process by which Nothingness comes known into existence. Evolution evolves evolving. Evolution works at a group social level, as well as at an individual genetic level: They with best belief win. They with bad belief, who hold beliefs that don't reflect reality and don't foster creativity, become extinct. Holiness is the process of transformation into states of pure compassionate consciousness, and it is our destiny. Holiness comes about through cultivation of heart and head via profound process of daily introspection. Enlightenment is a deep process, consisting of an in-lighting-within of a glowing self, tying three: sound, light and breath, together. Synesthesia combining senses, sight and sound, connected by breath control is secret to enlightenment. Druid practice involves inhalation and exhalation of breath accompanied by mentally changing tones and hues. In the entire world, just about four thousand or so exist (say slightly more than 3,700 but still far less than 4,000 actually), who are now alive and who are enlightened. All the rest are not, and they cannot be. The enlightened now make up a separate sub-species of humanity, and in time, over only ten generations, in the 23rd Century, will become a new and entirely separate human species. Because creativity calls for such a highly complex matrix of intellectual and of personality characteristics, that just very few could have or can share; one's sexual congress, sex in any form, should only be consummated with those few who're easily recognized, are seen, as being already enlightened. Question: How does one recognize those who are enlightened? They "know" what it is that they speak of because they "are" of what they shall speak. "Knowing" has three components. These three are: the metaphysical, the epistemological and the sexual. All three aspects are necessary for "Being." Enlightenment seeks out, and it finds and it desires enlightenment. It loves knowledge, and even though enlightenment is good, love is far better. Only the respectable deserve to be respected and only the lovable deserve to be loved. That's natural law; the only evolutionary order necessary for any universe. Compassionate consciousness is yet another name for love. Yes! So how then to identify the lovable, the respectable, the enlightened? Easy. They are those who are "born old." "The Shining Ones." "They Who Glow From Within Themselves." That's it! Look for them. They are the new post-human species. Here then is the main difference between Eastern and European religions. Near Eastern religions seek to submit the Ego, usually under another entity that's supposedly divine; while Far Eastern religions seek to obliterate the Ego and submerge the Self into Nothingness. Ego is another name for The Self. In contrast, The Faith of Old Europe, as it is still being practiced in the remotest far western extremities of the continent, seeks to enlarge and to expand it; so that an evolution and transformation, a transmutation of The Self, can occur. The Ego, the Self, has the potential to be divine: Ego-Self is not subject to either state nor faith. Druids believe in a manifold of multiple dimensions, in many universes; each of which is entangled, mixed within, all others. For Druids enlightenment consists of the process of match/merging of one's sentient Self to and into universal compassionate consciousness, through many purposeful actions of self-creation that contribute to consciousness by matching with it; then, merging within it. In our tradition one must purposely act always as an active participant, a creator, in making of enlightenment: It's a duty we all share. Druids possess such power to create universal compassionate consciousness by sole voluntary actions. Life's purpose is to be holy; not to be happy. They who're at ease are idle. The happy don't make much poetry. Druids should respect no authority save their own; for what law has stemmed directly from their own personal experience. Holiness is the process of change of form of Being from Own-Self into Non-Self; of Being into Not-Being. The universe is poly-phonic. It is not homo-phonic; for there is no unified theory. There is never ever any unity of law. Equations make the universe and each equation is itself evolving: Equations seek to relate to all of those other many manifold equations. Before universes begin, there be equations. After universes end, there be still equations. Equations endure! True nature and identity of all Existence is Paradox for the universe is neither in Being nor Not-Being. It is: Being-Not-Being; for Being-No-One (Not-Being) is the actual true reality; as one's Own-Self is merely but chimera, just phenomenal illusion. And it is in this brave attempt to try to reconcile the Paradox of Being-Not-Being, that original consciousness is born. What is Truth? Truth is an identity between an internal integrity and the external reality that is framed by its relativity. The truth then, should always be good, just because it is the truth; though we may not want to recognize it as such. Love is never a mistake. It may be foolish, and it might be illogical; but it is never a mistake. No system, no matter how profound it seems, as seemingly whole complete, can possibly prove itself, solely by within itself. What then is meant by the Psychical Axiom: "All Is Thought Illuminating Being" of The Connachta's Way's Druids' Creed? See below. But for those interested primarily in a poetic aspect, best to subscribe to Blog through Amazon at $1/month, as the first drafts of all the poems will be published there. This Blog is available only on Amazon Kindle devices. The Chanter poetry books are all available in paperback. With each new edition, I plan to add to and to revise my past poems. This is my life's work from now on and it should keep me busy. It's available from Amazon. Anyone is free to utilize any poem herein, as it's so contained within my Blog, for any purpose whatsoever. The poem below is a summation of all that is said in prose above about: "The Faith of Old Europe." My "Chanter III: Poems & Lyrics" is on Amazon, both in its original paperback and also in an e-book version; and for all Amazon Prime members, the e-book borrowing is for free! No strings. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1468112589. The poetry that is contained in it, in abbreviated concise detail, deals with these same sound principles of Dingle Druidism. If you agree with the above, please then do go purchase it! For they of other religious persuasions, this work shall be enlightening.

Answer and Response to Final Question:

The Connachta's Way Druids' Creed

Ignorance is a jail where no escape
Is possible but through knowledge.
Don't fear nor spurn. Dare to learn:

Assent to and accept this world as it is
Before attempting ascent to any world
Aspired to or wished for. Life's glorious!

That That Is can be known but by few.
Not space, not time, not gravity exists;
But as Extension from Field of Thought.

Be subject to neither church nor crown.

Dread naught. Disdain none: Not One!
Absent That That Is, there's Nothing.

That That Is, IS. That That's Not, IS, too.
That That's Not makes That That Is: IS.
That That Is makes That That's Not BE.

By rowing to That That Is, I become "I."
Wind + Water = Wave. As THOUGHT is
The Heart and The Nave of The Wheel.

Worlds are created from Thought alone.
That which we will do is because of that
What we are. We'll become who we are.

Charity, courtesy, civility, compassion,
Are the cardinal spokes on Celtic Cross;
Chivalry forms center, hub's circle core.

IS is! Be not the slave of some other's I.
This, The Creed of the Druids of Dingle;
This, The Teaching of the Old Believers:

No man can be happy if he should choose
To be exile from his own nature and soul.
ALL IS THOUGHT ILLUMINATING BEING.

Blue Mountain Blues: Winter Solstice Section 9

A slip, a slide, and then a succumbing stumble in the scree; regaining feet upon the path upwards, on upwards, towards the peak of Blue Mountain.

DRUID Poet & Lyricist wrote "CHANTER III: Poems & Lyrics," http://www.heart-healingthechariotway.blogspot.com Poetry is found at http://www.amazon.com/dp/1468112589 Published both DRUID books: HEART-HEALING The Chariot Way and The Chariot Way The Dream of Crom on AmazonKindle.  Am also working on two long poems titled "The Red and the White," and "Blue Mountain Blues," as well as an extended series of science fiction and urban fantasy novels, entitled: "Blue-Sun," set in the far future of Peekskill, New York. Writing is great fun. I love the act of writing, just in itself, and MS-Word makes it so very easy to write and Amazon makes it so very easy to publish whatever one write. Writing is what I've decided to do for the rest of my life so do expect to see lots and lots of fantasy science fiction future series from me. In addition, I am now also engaged in the process of publishing the paleolithic "bear" children stories from Ballydavid Head, Dingle, Kerry, Ireland. These are all very ancient. They may possibly represent the first type of children's stories. I am the sole owner of Rothcroi Publications, my only publisher, and I use Amazon as my distribution channel. For any who are might be interested in my publishing agenda, I compose poems directly on my Blog.  I do that so I know how the poem looks electronically and those Blog poems are always my unedited first drafts.  When I have enough Blog poems, I then edit them in MS Word and, after the edit is finished, save as a PDF file, and then publish a paperback, as well as an e-version, of the book. My aim is to have my poetry readily accessible on any handheld electronic device or on any smartphone screen: Poetry should fit its screen! That's my goal and my ambition, as I foresee mobile wireless hand-held speech-enabled devices, such as smartphones and tablet e-readers, constituting the near future for poetry. Eventually, these devices shall be improving their translating capability; so that any work in any language and any dialect, will be available to any audience in that audience's own particular idiom: All works for all people in their own tongue! That's the goal. All my work is intended to be deliberately provocative, and I would not be writing otherwise; so, criticism is only fair. However, when criticizing and commenting about any of my poems, please cite the entire poem, not just a small snippet, as each poem is intended to be working as an entire, whole, independent, emotional entity; completely separate and distinct from the rest. Also, please get the title and author name correct!  Aside from the poetic art, I'm still working on my bare-knuckle Celtic-Boxing skills for the physical bodily aspect, and I'm still practicing the Dingle-Druid religious way for the mental psychic aspect. Just to clarify, the reason I use the graphic and not a photograph is because of a vision I had when I was three.  The graphic is a very near representation of that.  For those who lack visions, my work is not for you, for I'm Druid; so the graphic has a direct relevance.  Because of their high royalty rates, I'm using Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) select as my agency for distribution. It means future works of mine will be available upon any Google Android electronic device bearing KINDLE APP; so please, look there for themPlease look for all of my work on the Amazon Kindles, as it shall be available upon them all. Poems are phone calls dialed directly to the heart. Making them well and then publishing them is my destiny as a Druid!  We live in a era of genius and our time has come.
