"Totalitarian Jesus" and the New Obscurantism

It is freaking me out!

Totalitarian Jesus

Despite pushback from none other than the amazing Jamie Wheal, most readers seemed to appreciate my political venting yesterday. Jamie thinks I should avoid obsessively paddling in the current political morass and go back to repackaging Greenwich Village / Beatnik anecdotes from my mother’s early life in New York City, or surface some occult tidbits from my visits to indigenous people such as the Kogi. Alas, I don’t have that capacity right now, eight days out from the inauguration.

I admit to an Asperger-ish tendency to hyper-focus, fixate, on certain subjects and themes. I don’t know what my own form of neurodiversity is. At the moment I feel hyper-stimulated, energized, by my ongoing effort to attain an “overview effect” on our dreadful plunge into whatever is coming. As for rhapsodizing about the Beats or the Kogi, I believe both “culture” and “spirituality” are under immediate existential threat from the dark forces unleashed from the collective unconscious.

Last night, I dreamt I was sent to a new U.S. concentration camp.
