Our entire contemporary civilized legacy is incepted an eon ago. Our upward condition of sophistication and chivalry is woven from our goodness, nobility and grace.
And yet in the depths of us something else dwells, an eerie premonition lurking upon the surface, patiently awaiting its chance to seize the totality of the being. It sleeps there in that inner darkness, a primal abyss locked up in our past so far in the human soul it almost borders with eternity in mists of oblivion. In its devilish dreams this condemned creature yearns for savagery, despair, bleeding and raw flesh. In the nature of this wretched being lay all wisdoms of inconsistency, corruption, destruction and illusion. This personal demon of ours is awaiting restless in anticipation to be unleashed from his exile into freedom of fury, free from the cage of that iconic depth where he had been so cunningly deceived by choice, sneaking as cast out and lay hidden in secrecy. It’s so easy to be indulged by this primal calling, it’s so tempting to surrender into the anarchy and disorder of our savage impulses. We don’t need any external stimulus to turn to our ferocious nature, it’s there, part of our genetic code.
In this global plutocratic rule, democracy is being stepped on so forward and insolent, violent clashes are elevated into revolutions, wars and genocide, just for the thrill of destruction. Indeed, our demons are out loud roaming free. We live in times when opposite extremes of our true nature are imposing their rule by force.
I’ve ruled to love, so I’ve decided never to kill my own demon. It’s not my intention to use it, for it serves as a reminder. I’ve put it to dreamless sleep, locked down in its uneasy existence, in a condition to be tortured only by the anger of his solitary presence. These labyrinths of that ancient prison are build from mathematics and alchemy, there’s no way out.
It’ll never wake up again and see the dawn of the surface, ever...
