Gods In The World Of Men: The Destroyer

Man: The Destroyer
Man creates images through his own impulses seeded within, gathered by his experience all through in the nature, 
installing and worshiping them and then making a sacrifice as destroying it by immersing in the river-water.
(part of 'Lord Ganesha' festival)

Psychologically hard to fathom these secret-pits of human innards.

  
* That's how it is visible in some more manifestation of his such desires unknown, all through the human history....all across the world !!

# The concept of three Gods in 'Hindus' from India: the 'Creator' (Brahma), the 'Preserver'(Vishnu), and the 'Destroyer'(Mahesh), seems to be the manifestation of imagination of human's deep hidden desires in their psyche, and that is to 'create', to 'worship' and to 'destroy'....

# THE EARTH GODS

      by Kahlil Gibran

      Imagination of three earth Gods, namely the creator, the preserver and the the destroyer of kind.

When the night of the twelfth aeon fell,
And silence, the high tide of night, swallowed the hills,
The three earth-born gods, the Master Titans of life,
Appeared upon the mountains.

Rivers ran about their feet;
The mist floated across their breasts,
And their heads rose in majesty above the world.

Then they spoke, and like distant thunder
Their voices rolled over the plains.

(opening stanzas from this great book of the 'Gibran'.)
 


# Photos of atomic bomb mushroom clouds, over two Japanese cities in 1945; could never be explained without understanding these hidden mischievous psychic traits of humans, i.e. the destruction of it's own kind-creation to whom once he loved so much !!

  

Little conclusions:  

* In general we humans are a case of multiple personality (layers) symptoms, at most often. 

* Some little reasons (personal, social, religious etc.) proves to be an 'on switch' for the shuffle. 

* As personality  word is derived from Latin, where it originally referred to a theatrical mask (The Latin word probably derived from the Etruscan word "phersu", with the same meaning, and that from the Greek πρόσωπον (prosōpon). So the personality is the mask we bear....
* If a mask is replaceable , so be the personality....   

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the famous Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886.
