AOK

Posted by: CCRU-Shanghai

At the 1999 Syzygy Event at Beaconsfield, London, certain Ccru elements reported - albeit in a fragmentary, time-twisted and in many other respects confusing fashion - that the Architectonic Order of the Eschaton planned to ritualistically welcome the transition to “The Age of Katak” at the dawn of the new millennium. (Some (delirial) hints here.)

The problems with this pronouncement are legion. To note only the most obvious conundrum: Why should a hermetic Atlantean organization have been preparing to celebrate a Christian calendric event in the name of a Lemurian entity?

Despite such concerns, the Age Of Khattak (AOK) has proven bizarrely prophetic.

Portrait of a parallel killer

Khattak is a Great Lemur of distinctive temperament. Her colour is RED (= 54), her totems fanged and clawed. She is the sole Syzygetic Lemur to respond to a non-involutionary rite, the one which Echidna Stillwell describes (in a letter to Peter Vysparov) as “raking through the entire cycle of time with the talons of … infinite ambition.”

Khattak’s most prominent feature is her densely overdetermined seizure of unity, in all its senses of atomism, centrality, completion, comprehension, integration, monomania, monopoly, monotheism, oecumenon, totalitarianism, and doubtless many others. She is internally articulated by a single step of minimal difference, positioned at the centre of the Barker Spiral, and all-enveloping in her passage around the Hex. The comprehensive rite of Khattak is, on its own, central, unique and totalistic. Numogramatic confirmation of all this is extremely straightforward, and need not concern us at this point (see here).

Khattak feeds on conflict, rendered incessant by the comparative indecisiveness of advantages and the unlimited intolerance of agendas. Her wars are both total and skewed towards inconclusiveness, demanding absolute resolution with the same emphasis that they frustrate decision. They are thus characterized by an utter yet insatiate animosity. If Khattak has a ‘logic’ it is akin to a collapsed Kantian dialectic of irresolvable - yet unsurmountable - antagonism: a perpetually re-animated, furious collision of certainties. I love everything you hate and hate everything you love, for ever.

Among the true Tribes of the Sumatran Nma, the (khattakite) Tak were notorious for their exceptional savagery. Fittingly, these brutes were exterminated by the eruption of Krakatao.

The Pylon of the Atlantean Cross corresponding to the lair of Khattak (on the Numogram) bears the name: Apocalypse.
