Jim Morrison : Secret Teacher of the Occult
By Paul Wyld
If there was a bible to Jim Morrison's life and how to be like him I would say the best go to book would be "No One Here Get's Out Alive" . This book somehow gets into the nooks and crannies of Jim's life and somehow manages to garner some occult secrets. It is common knowledge among Jim's fans that he was impacted immensely by the death of native American Children he saw lying dead on the road after a traffic accident. He believed one o the souls entered him and lived through him. It could have been the source of his divine madness. Jim could be classified as one of those poet thinkers who sa away rom the crowd and sought mysical wisdom. He was meant to open the doors to the mystical world and lead others to it. While in high school he would devour many written works penned by many great thinker and poets. He would read Nietze, Rimbaud, Zeligman, T.E Lawrence and many others. He spend high school in Alameda wit his girlfriend Tandy Martin. His father was in the navy and wa a hihly decorated officer as well, Jim and his dad did no get along too well. In fat they were polar opposites. Whie his dad was tightly would and uber disciplined, Jim was wild and unruly .
These prophetic poets often times were isolated from everyone else. Poets and mystics try to develop something called faculty "X" According to Colin Wilson this faculty is the laten power in human beings to reach beyond the present. It gives them a glimpse into another world, the world of the subconscious. Jim saw his role as helping humanity wake up and shake off the shackles of society and pursue thei enlightened dreams. Often times these messianic mystics are persecuted by those that want to remain asleep and by those who want everyone to remain asleep. This could be evidenced by the way Jim had all those run ins with law enforcement. Messianic people often had a masochistic streak. Jim would often confront people without having the intention of hurting them. .T.E Lawrence could also endure lots of pain and seemed relish in it.
In all much o what yo read here can be found in" No One Here Get's Out Alive" but I was unaware o Jim's dealings with he occult. Jim read Seligman's "History of Magic and the Occult" and Colin Wilson's "The Occult" when he wsas in high school and had no idea that they strongly influenced him. Of Course he one time married a witch named Patricia. Jim was a Dionysian mystic o poet which meant that he reached ecstacy and wisdom through strong drink and physical exertion and relations. If you are a fan of Jim and the Occult this book is one you will enjoy.
