Memetic Warfare: Attention by @tiredteller

The Bride of Christ

“For my mother told me, fates carry me to death’s end; if I go to the beloved land of my father life will be long, undying; return home, beautiful and intricately wrought.”

Above was originally added to the piece, clippings from the Iliad which I thought really drove home the point of this piece. I’ll probably include them when I begin releasing prints (spoiler alert).

The visage of the Church is one feminine, a Bride to be wed by believers who seek to commune in one flesh, one blood. On earth she is militant and clad in the armour of God. In heaven she finds herself triumphant and well alive in Christ, as is what is promised to us.

Our relationship to the Church is reflective of our relationship with God, neglect or flippancy being an indicator of our spiritual lack. I’ve found this particularly exemplified in the best way in Orthodoxy. It is the wedding of man to the Way, to the life, to the Bride.

Return home.

The Struggle

There’s a battle for the modern man, it’s all designed to take him away from Eden. Keep your eyes on Christ, not on any dead passions of the world. by @tiredteller

When Christ says, “Pick up your cross and follow me.” He means to your crucifixion. by @tiredteller

The Gate of Eden

We are the waters of Eden’s Wellspring, the river which flows forth from the temple, the waters to flood the fires of hell. Our duty is to die, to pick up our cross and bring it to our crucifixion so that we may die to ourselves; a lower mirroring of kenosis. This is what has been passed down to us through the lineage of the Apostles. This is how we follow Christ. This is how the world is saved.

That’s what this collage is about in general. There are smaller features in this piece that speak to my other theological beliefs but frankly there isn’t the space to go into it in a single caption. I’d consider making other posts going into parts of my work if you have the interest, if so let me know in the comments. If you’d like to have a discussion with me about this piece or my other works feel free to DM me and I’d love to chat when I can.

Hail Christ.

The Spiritual World

(I’ve since added to the piece but it’s secret so you don’t get to see it shhh 🤫)

⚠️Warning: about to schizo-post, grammar and spelling may be affected⚠️

We live in large world, but even larger is the world unseen and even great is the war waged therein. This piece is the spiritual reality of the Christian mythos and where we stand in it. I am very pleased with the composition of the piece, I think it articulates the spiritual world from my perspective in a dynamic way. I will take time to break down the components of the piece so that I can leave you a key to understand it better:

The police officer: The authority of the world in action. The watchful eye. That which is trying to be of the world and stand above it to cast judgement. The tyrant.

The Alchemist: The snake oil salesman. The world offering the cup of nepenthe, as contrasted to the ambrosia/nectar of the Eucharist. Those who point deeper into the world for answers, the materialists.

The Void of Man: Modern man walks in the void of himself. There is a void of great men in the world, those who stand above the rest. Man, when of the world, is disconnected from his true form.

The Point of Contact: The meeting place of Heaven and Earth. The candle uncovered, the town on the hill. The New Eden, the temple from which the river of the living water flows. The singular place. The dwelling place. The Church (singular). Faith and works, thought and action, mind and heart.

Man Fulfilled: Man who is in the world but not of it. Submitted/beneath the Church/Body; One with God and naked before God (without garments of skin).

The Higher World: the Church Triumphant within the greater spiritual world, as opposed to the material world.

The Goat/Ram: The one who lays in wait. The beastial system to come with horns that have begun to reach in. The saturnal ego humiliated by the humiliated (death by death), whose rings has been stolen to adorn the Christ and now stalks as a Martian beast, committed to war until the bitter end. The goat, as opposed to the sheep. by @tiredteller
