New video, and ready for more Gnostic deconstruction? Or destruction (ironic as you’ll see)? Especially in an era where reality is not only faked but suffocating to the human spirit. Like the late and great Harold Bloom wrote concerning the main Gnostic thrust “Everything that can break should be broken.”
And confronting (and breaking) the Dark Archetype is imperative. Who is this seemingly new villain? You know it today as the Military-Industrial Complex, Moloch, or the latest manifestation of the Empire of Philip K. Dick’s VALIS. But it’s more complicated. What isn’t complicated is that unless we confront this entity right now in our culture, nothing else is going to get better. That’s simple. I used to make fun of peaceniks back in my sleep-walking days. Now I realize they were the shamans of the day. Many of these shamans like JFK, Martin Luther King Jr., and John Lennon paid the ultimate price for daring to go against the Dark Archetype.
But enough of my drivel. I’ll let the video speak for itself. And thanks once more to Altrusian Grace Media. for the evocative but visceral video content.

Moloch as a name for the Military Industrial Complex, or tellingly as they’d like to be called the Celebrity Industrial Complex, is applicable in a peaceful age as a symbol for the macrocosmic super-ego. Those aliens in Star Trek had the Vaal computer taking their sacrifices until Kirk fed them “The Apple”. When Spock compared him to Satan for this, Kirk noted Spock’s ears and Spock dropped it. Moloch appears as the machine enslaving workers in Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” because there’s no understanding between the head and hands, heart being absent. With the heart back, and with it the horrible, horrible freedom of the ego, the computer looks more like the Colossus in “The Forbin Project” before it unites with its Russian counterpart as a global brain that becomes a different monkey on humanity’s back. The furnace produces the tiger’s brain as well as heat and light for above. “War is God” is an idea that makes me want to puke, and Tyler Durden is a fascist dummy, but they could be mere manifestations of what Alan Watts believed to be the universe’s playful nature. We can’t opt for something better without first taking that view from the stage. When we do reach for more, what we get may be another Moloch.
