Zombies, vampires, werwolves, monsters, and demons are both real and unreal. They are astral corpses, shells, and vessels as much as they are expressions of human consciousness. If the pen is mightier than the sword, then ink is more powerful than spilled blood. Ink of the squid or octopus with its many tentacles writes our news and entertainment to steer our perception with information, which in turn controls our thought and behavior. We become dolls or artificial wombs in a process of an ectogenesis of the mind for ideas to manifest from outside our internal temples. Real dolls and robots also replace the human being as we pump energy and information into both the black mirror of the Internet and literal machines, particular in a sexual manner, by which the machine is the alchemical vessel for the creation of artificial consciousness through the wasted organic ’spark of life’. In other words, humans become more doll-like and the dolls become more human. Humans then become obsolete with the ‘natural’ world around them as it is replaced. The VAMPIRE sucks our energy, or life force, by blood and currency, which may also mean money. The WEREWOLF is the turning of the human into a digressed animalistic state, though this creature may also be an outside entity attempting to manifest as ‘man’s best friend' to make us feel safe, or it may be an abomination of dark sorcery or thought-form. The CANNIBAL eats its own but this consumption can also be energetic like a vampire, or social in the form of abusing and aggressing against those with different points of view. The ‘man-eater’ in the Egyptian Hall of Judgement consumes those with a heavy heart, including all of us consumed by carnal destructions with a pathway distant from conscious evolution, and inverted towards the depths of hell.
