"The Creatureliness is the Terror"
Digital Art

"The root of humanly caused evil is not man’s animal nature, not territorial aggression, or innate selfishness, but our need to gain self-esteem, deny our mortality, and achieve a heroic self-image. Our desire for the best is the cause of the worst."

- Sam Keen, The Denial of Death

"So much unreason was in man that he needed reason to be saved. If one waits long enough, one sees how the Gods all change into serpents and underworld dragons in the end. This is also the fate of the Logos: in the end it poisons us all."

- Carl Jung, Libre Novus

The Fallen Heaven
Digital art (Adobe Illustrator)
2021

When exploring the demerits of the development of consciousness, a main adverse effect, the delusional need for self-serving self-preservation-driven behaviour, stands out as the most destructive of all.

Overshadowed by the prevailing 'Divide and Rule' clouds, the Fallen Heaven highlights the deluded human sense that created a corrupt developmental foundation, ushering in an era of cut-throat competition and vile opportunistic disregard of others. We have descended into a hellish world that values self-gain above all else, ignoring the concept of conscious balance in terms of behaviour.

Steering away from the transcendent path of consciousness, this dark path of the 'fallen angels' has cost us gravely, while some might argue that development requires sacrifices, one could also argue that such great sacrifices are not an absolute necessity.

When Fredrick Neitzschze announced the “death of God” in his book “The Gay Science”, his famous saying was interperted in many different ways. However, many philosophers agree that the demise of God meant the loss of belief, rather than a blatant attack at religion.

When a country suffers prolonged war and oppression, citizens start losing hope and with that loss, moral values start to lose importance, overshadowed by the personal and collective struggles of individuals. When humans are denied their basic needs, society withdraws into the law of the jungle. Chaos takes control, highlighting how ignorance can revert the human mind to its basic animalistic instincts.

A shapeless entity to such individuals, the concept of the future becomes a part of the unclear unknown, a symbolic monster that triggers a human’s mortal enemy, fear. Inducing a state similar to an amygdala hijack, the brain falls into a state of fight or flight, one of humanity’s most primal defense mechanisms, which oftentimes, without steady ground, becomes destructive and compromises our developmental urge.

With this in mind, it is only logical to opine that, no matter how progressive our thinking is, feeling the “death of God” is a form of nihilism, which when heightened with our primal reactions and misconceptions of the perpetuity of states and fixed forms of preconceived beliefs, can manifest as retrogressive responses.

Unaware that such fixed fixations constitute a “fear of the known” rather than the unknown, we engage in deleterious, sometimes violent, activities under the guise or delusion of not knowing, refusing to address such notions and emotions to find another way out of our abyss.

I want to go home, but home is the mouth of a shark
home is the barrel of the gun
and no one would leave home
unless home chased you to the shore
unless home tells you to
leave what you could not behind,
even if it was human.
