@serbiaireland Is it any wonder then that St. George (or the Eliatic figure of Khezr as he's known in Islam) represents a common, universal, trans-historical, trans-cultural, prophetic prototype, and his dragon-slaying, a liberating, evolutionary turn within total, planetary experience?

Jung, again: "We have to discover our shadow. Otherwise we are driven into a world war in order to see what beasts we are." Perhaps the momentous revelation, just now, of the monstrous, wholesale moral destitution of the world's  primary polities, denotes just such a recognition?

@SophiaCycles And, ultimately, as dominative, global structures of consciousness and power are claimed by such personalities, the diminution of world culture and society, too. Take Palestine, for example, as major state and media actors cave 'en masse' to a form of systemic moral destitution.

"Anyone who rises in a world that worships success should be suspect, for this is an age of psychopathy. The psychopath of today no longer slinks like a dirty rat through the dark alleys of black-and-white 1930s crime films, but parades through the boulevards in a bullet-proof limo on state visits, runs entire nations, and sends delegates to the UN. Hitler is therefore old-style and can divert us from seeing through the mask worn by the demonic today, and tomorrow. The demonic that is timeless nonetheless enters the world disguised in contemporary fashion, dressed to kill.”
