Soul Journeys in the Multiverse
Hunger Demon is carved in Brazilian soapstone.
Stands about 6 inches tall.
It conveys the feeling of hunger in its hollow state.
Empty mind, empty stomach, both travel right through to the soul. Hence the hollow of the
figure 'eight'. The emptyness of the navel and chest portrays the ideology that a demon can enter the body through these areas. The hands that cover both back and front are not only to indicate the pain one feels when deep seeded hungry strikes, but to also remind us that blocking the navel is known as a defence against demons entering the host.
A demon is a malicious spirit from the spirit world that feeds on the darker parts of the mortal psyche like rage, hunger, and desire. The spirit world is a metaphysical realm that is part of theology and is separated by the veil of this world and the next. Like all spirits, they cannot survive long in the mortal world and so must possess a host.
An old wifes tail about such entities is that to have a figure, carving, statue, or some likeness of a demon you fear, or want to avoild will in fact ward them off, for if they think one is already present, indicated by the image or scupture, then they simply pass you by.
Comment
The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.
A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
