Pictorial 136

The infinite mirror illusion which is also real is pictured in fantasy-form quite beautifully by Louise Simonson’s saga of Illyana Rasputin’s destiny as the Darkchilde, which appears throughout New Mutants.

I say “beautifully” since Illyana, the litrle snowflake, is a young woman of really enchanting “White Russian” looks, with a clear-eyed honesty of intellect to match. Her seductiveness is such that the demons of Limbo are in love with her, and she is torn between her destiny as then Darkchilde, mistress of Limbo, and her bonds with her teammates and planet Earth.

The way she first gained access to Limbo was via a stepping disc. These are described as connecting Limbo’s past, present – and even future – which can all be NOW. That is an exact description of the spacetime continuum according to Einstein.

The stepping discs can be thought of as infinite mirrors which establish relativity in the reality of Limbo. Like our modernday world, Limbo is dormant in terms of the physical reality, and is ruled by the egos of demons and sorcerers – S’ym, Nastirh, Belasco – plus the darkchilde herself.

Limbo is on the one hand an illusion – of spacetime – because it has no physical reality. On the other, it is real because of the physical attributes of the demons themselves. Not least, the perpetually mutating Illyana herself.

Illyana’s strength of innate psyche enables her to harness differing physical attributes and gain possession of her soul-sword, "a piece of her dies to the darkness inside."

Her beast-like nature is the very soul of reality owing to her primitive, animal-like force and charisma. One is also beset by the crudities innate in such a cloven-hooved form frolicking about; the savage, bestial nudity. This is quite reminiscent of Greek comedies (see Aristophanes P47) and the lewdness of Roman graffiti (see Cleopatra HB18).

Primitive bestiality is completely physical, and it’s worth comparing these two pictures

 

The tongue in these is something like “the snake that speaks” from The Shadow Kingdom (prev), a primitive throwback to reptilian origins.

The psyche in both these pictures is strongly connected to the primitive physical. The primitive physical is really the antithesis of Limbo – spacetime – which exists in a perspective system of past-present-future.

 

What that really says is that Limbo – spacetime – is a sterile environment that can have no renewal from decadence.

The Darkchilde is fertile, lusty, hungry and the antithesis of something that is more or less dormant.


The fact that Nastirh wants her for his "dark bride" is reminiscent of Greek myth, where Venus marries Vulcan, and Proserpine (Persephone, Spring) lives with Pluto for six months of the year.


The fact is that Limbo - a sterile, dormant environment - is not the whole of reality. It can only seem so to the ego that is convinced by sterile facts. It's essentially nothing without the dark bride who revives from a state of decadence or decay (inside).


Growth or rebirth spring from physical decline (age). This is the fertile world of primitive lusts and strong symmetries that exists in time (rhythm) and counteracts sterile certainties of spacetime (Limbo.)

The strongly physical and primitive and bestial and lewd have a way of counteracting the sterile certainties of our modern scene. There was Kate Bouman’s black hole, for instance, from HB56.

The truth of the primitive is the truth of the symmetries of fertility. These counteract the sterile truths of a perspective system (of lenses or mirrors or stepping discs) in spacetime.

This argument could be carried on further, since primitive symmetries are strong, active, virile or feminine. They are not bound to one part of the body, like the head.

Those who deal solely with the head are really in a parallel reality which is weak, and fatally attached to algorithms and electromagnetism (the mirror of illusion).

The brain doesn’t need to be told what to do by processors since that is the job of the psyche (the strong sense of being). The psyche is the expression of our physical forms. If we are to be active and self-governing, the psyche must direct the physique (in a dance).

Inside the mirrors of illusion exists the profane serpent, since the physique can’t be denied. It exists in profane form as a corruption of primal rhythms, within the sterile system of electromagnetism.

Not just Musk but also the other Big Tech companies are messing with heads to the detriment of strength of psyche within self-governing communities that have inside them psychic strength.
