THE BOREAL CROWN
and
THE DOWNFALL OF CIVILIZATION
 

by Anonymous 



In 1808 the illuminated theorist and "Utopian Socialist" Charles Fourier 
launched the first fullyrealized and consciously revolutionary attack on 
CIVILIZATION by publishing his Theory of the Four Movements in France. No
one 
noticed -- any more than anyone noticed the books of William Blake, the only

thinker of the era comparable to Fourier. In this brief text we cannot
attempt a 
full report of Fourier´s brilliant utopian system of society, which he
called 
HARMONY. But we could at least recall his programme involved the
reorganization 
of human life into large groups, called Phalanxes, arranged in "Series" 
according to "Attraction" -- that is, according to shared "Passions". For 
Fourier, Passion was the sole possible organizing principe for utopian life.
In 
brief: if everyone were free always to do exactly what they desire, all
reason 
for social discord would vanish. Scarcity of any good -- material,
spiritual, 
erotic -- can only be artificially imposed on society by CIVILIZATON, For
Nature 
is naturally "generous". Marriage, poverty, work, morality, loneliness, 
alienation, violence, boredom -- these civilized miseries constitute the 
perverse results of a system which benefits a few at the expense of the
health 
of Earth herself. Fourier believed not only that humans are the desiring 
subjects of a desirable object (i.e., Terrestial Harmony), but also that the

Earth and all other celestial bodies (planets, stars, etc.) are also living,

sentient, desiring beings. The "force of attraction" that holds the
universe(s) 
together can only be described as Passion, Erotic desire organizes not only
the 
microcosm of human society but also the macrocosm (e.g., our solar system)
in 
mandala of Harmony -- the "Lineaments of gratified desire" as Blake would
say.

Thus everything, quite literally everything, is moved solely by erotic 
attraction. In Harmony we shall work only at that which satisfies a Passion
--
and we shall be free to choose "Attractive Labor" -- and since humans are 
inherently oassionate beings, Harmonian economics will replace the illusion
of 
scarcity with the reality of super-abundance. Everyone will be "rich.
Everyone 
will eat like a 18th century french gourmet (but the food will be healthy 
because it will be prepared according to the Harmonian science of
Gastrosophy) -
- and everyone will enjoy at least "utopian minimum" of erotic pleasure.
This 
immense intensification of animal/animate life will soon produce beneficial 
mutations even of the human body: -- we shall need only a few hours of sleep
per 
night, we shall grow taller and more beautiful, and within a few generations
we 
shall each have a tail with an extra "hand" at the tip, and an extra eye in
the 
palm of the hand . Moreover the climate will change and the seas will turn 
something like lemonade. Most of these changes will occur not through
evolution 
and its endless eons, but almost immediatly, spontaneously, virtually
overnight 
-- as soon as we abandon CIVILIZATION and institute HARMONY in its stead.

One reason why these changes will occur so rapidly can be explained by the
fact 
that Civilization has literally knocked Earth out of its true position in
the 
cosmos. normally, since stars and planets are sexual beings, they enjoy
sexual 
intercourse. Their sex organs -- so to speak -- consist of great cosmic rays

(which Fourier calls "aromal rays"); celestial bodies project these rays at
one 
another and thereby experience the bliss of fertilizing potency of erotic 
contact. In former times Earth also possessed an aromal ray and enjoyed its 
benefits -- which manifested in the peace and plenty, gender harmony and
sexual 
freedom of the hunting/gathering (or gardening) economy of the Old Stone
Age. 
But Civilization disrupted the aromal ray. Earth lost its orgasmic
potential. As 
Wilhelm Reich would put it, Earth was cut off from the cosmic source of
orgone 
energy; Civilization equals sexual repression and erotic scarcity.

Now clearly, if human society were to overcome the malign local effect of 
civilization and institute the Harmonial Era, our planet would at once
recover 
its cosmic sexuality and its aromal ray. Immediatly Earth would bathed again
the 
perfume or illumination or jizm of the stars. Revivifying effects would
begin to 
appear almost at once, and the initial eforts of the first Harmonians would
be 
rewarded a thousand-fold through the vast new reservoirs or cosmic energy
now 
available via Earth aromal ray.

in Theory of the Four Movements Fourier also revealed that Earth´s aromal
ray --
or rather its shattered fragments and dispersed remnants -- can still be
seen in 
the polar aurorae. the Northern and the Southern Lights (Aurora Borealis and

Australis) resemble torn curtains of light. No Wonder! At one time they 
constituted coherent rays of brilliant color abd scebt which penetrated the
yoni 
of the aether like an infinite lingam, and served as the pathway and vaginal

gate for the infusion of subtle illumination-juices from everywhere in the 
multiverse. [ Incidentelly, this theory could be used to suggest that UFO´s
are 
not extraterrestrial but consist in fact of local manifestations of "deadly 
orgone", just as Reich feared]

Now it has occured to us that if the downfall of Civilization and the 
establishment of Harmony would result in the restauration of the "Boreal
Crown" 
(as Fourier called it) to full coherence, then perhaps the opposite might
also 
prove true. THE RESTAURATION OF THE BOREAL CROWN MIGHT RESULT IN THE
DOWNFALL OF CIVILIZATION AND THE TRIUMPH OF HARMONY.

We believe it´s worth trying . But the big question facing us is --
obviously --
how? How does one go about repairing the Aurora Borealis?! If we knew the
answer 
to the question we´d simply go and do it. The purpose of this text is to
share 
our findings so far and to propose a framework for future research and
action. 
We are convinced that this project will necesserly involve a certain amount
of 
coordinated action by a great many people. We envision participation at many

levels. Moreover, wehave no intention of acting as the center of this 
participation. We prefer to remain anonymous, and it is possible that our 
specific actions will be carried out more-or-less clandestinely. We will
publish 
no address; so if you want to share ideas with us please send texts to the 
publication in which this communique appears - or else find out who we are
by 
word of mouth and contact us directly.

So far, we have arrived at the following understanding. The popular aurorae
are 
connected in some way with the with the magnetic poles rather than the 
geographic poles. The North Magnetic Pole is currently the more accessible
of 
the two, since it is currently moving very slowly across northern Canada. As
of 
this writing it is near Barthurst Island. The latitude of peak auroral
activity 
is actually described by an oval ring whos center is a few degrees off the 
magnetic pole inthe direction of midnight. [See maps -Ed.]. The lights glow
most 
intensely during magnetic storms, caused by an increase in the solar wind 
interacting with Earth´smagnetic field. At such times the auroral oval grows

both southwards and toward the pole. The greatest auroral activity occurs at
the 
peaks of the eleven-year sun-spot cycle, one of which, unfortunately, has
just 
passed in the last year or two. It should be possible, nonetheless, to
determine 
certain times and spacesat which our chance of acting on the Boreal Crown
would 
be optimal. For example, if we determined that our action should take place
at 
the magnetic place, we would calculate a time when weather conditions and 
geomagnetic activity would coincide to offer a maximal "window of
opportunity". 
If we decided that our actions should occur within the auroral oval, then a 
different set of space/time parameters would come into play.

Besides the questions of time and place we also face the question of
effective 
action. At present we believe that we should consider the probable necessity
of 
installing one or more "aromal devices" at one or more key points connected
with 
the auroral/magnetic activity. These aromal devicesshould be concidered 
"machines" for the repair and restoration of the Boreal Crown. At present we

remain uncertain aboutthe design of such devices; but we intend to uild at
least 
one, and to install it at the chosen time and place. We hope that other
groups 
and individuals will work on their own theories and also produce their own 
devices. Then, when a time and place have been determined, we will make this

information publicly known. We will proceed to carry out an expedition,
let´s 
say, to the Magnetic North Pole, timed to arrive at a certain day or period
of 
days. We hope that others will launch their own simultaneous expeditions and

that we will all rendezvous at the appointed moment and location. There and
then 
we will carry out all our planned installation, actions, rituals, etc., 
together, inthe context of FESTIVAL.

Obviously a certain element of psychic technology enters into this project
--
and it is precisly on this psychic and "astral" level that many wish to 
participate in the action. Energy can be added to the activities of the
Arctic 
expeditions (and to the acual installations or aromal devices) by the though

projections and sympathetic actions of supporters and well-wishers all over
the 
globe. We consider the possibility of a GENERAL STRIKE on the day of the 
festival, as the vital component of the operation. Everyone who cannot be
with 
us at the installation of the site can carry out some symbolic and/or
material 
action against Civilization, against Work, against oppression, boredom and 
alienation. This might consist of nothing more than wearing a symbol of the 
Festival (button, badge, flower, color, scent, etc.). Some participiants
might 
simply wish to take a day off work and loll around, thinking about the
Northern 
Lights. Group might want to organize actuall strikes or demonstrations
against 
miseries of Civilization, and in favor for Attractive Labor or the Utopian 
Minimum. Artists and creative groups might errect sympathetic installations
or 
perform supportive rituals, whereever they might happan to be at the
appointed 
hour.

Our project at present calls for the further refinement of all these ideas,
and 
for their widesat possible dissemination. These tasks are perhaps best
carried 
out by many groups and individuáls simultaneously and more-or-less
anonymously, 
so that the best ideas and images will have a chance to circulate by word of

mouth and by various informal networks. In this way they will have a chance
to 
take a life on their own and to circulate under their own power, so to
speak, in 
anatural, organic manner. In order to succeed this Festival and General
Strike 
needs to belong to everyone and anyone. Already this text is the product of
a 
group -- a group that believes that its ideas will sink or soar solely
according 
to the degree of Attraction they radiate. The one central idea of the idea
is 
the restorationof the Boreal Crown to its primordial coherence as Earth´s
aromal 
ray; around this center the event must come into being spontaneously, like
the 
mandala of a snowflake, like atrue holiday, like an uprising. The evnt 
therefore, must create itself.

We might, however, speculate in more detail about our vision of the aromal 
device or machine for repairing Aurora. Certain themes have already been
touched 
on, and we expcet the full structure of the device to precipitate and 
crystallize around this or other related themes: Magnetism, the Sun, the
Earth´s 
magnetotail, magnets (the first compass was amagnetized needle floated in 
water), "animal magnetism", sexual attraction, sexual fluids, aromas,
perfumes, 
colors, lights, the North, the Arctic, hunting, gardening, the Old Age,
night, 
stars, te North Star, the Moon (measurement of time), clocks, gold, crystal,

ice, rays, coherent light, curtains and ribbons of light, heraldic emblems 
(symbols of the events) such as flowers, colors, geometric shapes,
hieroglyphs, 
banners, music, dance, ritual, arctic shamanism, the Millennium, the end of 
Civilization, restoration of Harmony, peace, brilliance, delicious food and 
drink, transformation, the esoteric, the clandestine, the hidden, mutation, 
orgy, the erotic manias, performance, opera, alchemy, the mythology and the 
folkloire of the Northern Lights, mental energy, the visualization of
coherent 
light as aroma, energy from the stars, orgone, blue, mirrors, maps, 
invocations.......

Imagine a "machine" with such "moving parts", miniaturized to the size of a 
small box, taken to the North Pole, installed -- and activated. Imagine it
as a 
focus for the concentrated desire of a world sickened by Civilization --
work, 
oppression -- a vast desire channeled into one image: the Boreal Crown in
full 
glory -- and one goal: the downfall of Civilization. In combination: a
Festival 
of Light.
