  Welcome to section 1.5 on the human security system and the locked-in reality of man. Now, in a short section within Lemurian Time War, entitled The One God Universe, what begins to be abstractly constructed is Nick Land's notion of the human security system. The One God Universe is an invention of William Burroughs…

  Now, let's take a step back and analyse what's actually going on. We have three things at play here, two clear and one parasitic in its nature. What's clear is the human mind slash senses and the utilisation of language as a control device. The covert parasite is a critique, which uses both for its own end. Now, there…

  So the time of the outside is understanding us through the inner sense. So what's the inner sense? Inner sense is the way in which we are aware of alterations of our own state, feelings, emotions, sensations, pleasure, pain, etc. Kant argues that all sensations, feelings, and emotions are the same. And those…

  So what we have here, in the form of the inner sense, is the primary structure of the human security system. A constraint of temporal linearity, assumed causation, assumed causality. But what does it begin to look like when one considers critical Kantian temporality? The human security system is at first this form…

  On the contrary, take your inspiration from topology, and perhaps you will discover the rigidity of those proximities and distances you consider arbitrary. And their simplicity, in the literal sense of the word, fold, is simply the difference between topology. Sketch on the handkerchief some perpendicular networks…

  Now, no one can put this better than Land, and in my interview with him, he said this. If we keep getting time wrong, then we're going to just be babbling nonsense in this antinomian structure that's irresolvable. No one's going to win between a free-will determinism debate, however it looks one way or the other…

  It is not real, and it is simply used as a device of constraint. So now, when we look back at this briefly touched upon notion of the OGU, or One God Universe in Lemurian Time War, it begins to make transcendental sense. The conversion of all other reality systems into a single system is the transcendental locket. All…

  Alongside looking at the ways in which this transcendental lock-in creates the illusion of a self.
