"My necklace and ornaments are of human bones; I dwell among the ashes of the dead and eat my food in human skulls. I look with eyes brightened with the antinomy of Yoga, and believe that the parts of this world are reciprocally different, but that the whole is not different from God.

After fasting we drink liquor out of the skulls of Brahmans; our sacred fires are fed with the brains and lungs of men mixed up with their flesh, and human beings covered with the fresh blood gushing from the dreadful wound in their throats, are the offerings by which we appease the terrible god (Maha Bhairava)."

Vamâcârâ Sadhana sophia is based upon the dissolution into chaos and the emancipation ov personnality from every kind ov dogma or ethical concept. It promotes total art ov destruction, liberated from every influence or static ethic. The metaphysical and philosophical thought is the dark thread ov his global concept which takes root from a strong personnal will and a reflexion upon non conditionned expression...

The Word links up around our own act ov deconditioning and pour possibility towars the absolute in which society defines all political or religious values. Moralism is an obstruction to our awakening...

Art, philosophy and Waves are the way ov this awakening towards the black irradiant light. We shall awake in order to match our vibration to his source and to arrange the manifest according to our will... Let's draw our strengh from decay, let us swamp with this source ov creativity, expression and death!!!

Order shall never rise from disorder again!!!

Dethroned mankind shall end his cycle in pain and dishonor!!!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

Vae victis, and they'll be numerous!!!

Oderint dum metuant!!!"
