Spirits of Madness

Just as it’s been argued that a group of cells came together for mutual defense and survival benefit, which in time gave rise to complex multi-cellular organisms, it can be said that a group of conscious entities came together for perhaps the same purpose. Without the first entities there could arise no higher order entities. The potential had to have existed for the more complex form to arise from.

There are entities. I use the term in the broadest sense possible. Jungian archetypes if that suits you. Genetically inherited psycho-biological traits that have persisted over time and across the generations, and the attendant emergent traits that arise when the correct set of genetic predispositions come together in any individual. These entities fall into two broad categories. The peace based beings and the fear based beings. The two classes of entity cross pollinate to give rise to beings that show neither general quality clearly, and these remain just as active as the rest entities and the distress entities. Each of the three being at constant play in our shared experience of consciousness.

“I am interested in madness. I believe it is the biggest thing in the human race, and the most constant. How do you take away from a man his madness without also taking away his identity?” William Saroyan (American Writer 1908-1981)
