I confess that I felt... «Hyperion»
Alek_von_Litz9 августа 2025I confess that I felt something closer to exaltation than fear. Something inexplicable was happening. Forged on Jesuit logic and tempered in the cold bath of science. I nevertheless understood at that second the ancient obsession of the God-fearing for another kind of fear: the thrill of exorcism, the mindless whirl of Dervish possession, the puppet-dance ritual of Tarot, and the almost erotic surrender of seance, speaking in tongues, and Zen Gnostic trance. I realised at that instant just how surely the affirmation of demons on the summoning of Satan somehow can affirm the reality of their mystic antithesis - the God of Abraham.
