Trump as Bhasmasur: The Dance of Self-Crowning and Collapse in a World of Fragile Powers From myth to modern politics, Trump’s self-deification echoes Bhasmasur’s curse — power imploding from within.

Trump’s self-crowning echoes Bhasmasur’s myth—power imploding from within. From Lehman Brothers to the Soviet Union, history repeats: every empire dances with its own destruction. The crown burns brighter than any bomb. #Trump #Mythology #Collapse #Philosophy

So this helmet of darkness is typical patriarchy, rationalized  perpetually as being a good thing. For it sure as hell aids the  patriarchal elite. In the Trilogy, that would be Sauron. In reality, that  would be the capitalist masters and corporate decision-makers who  profit from a populace that is repressed and unfeeling ... and  therefore unthinking ... and amenable to being utilized for the ends  of wealthy overlords — people enamored of their chains, again, you  see. The kind of submission and acquiescence to demands that  fathers seek to instill in sons, as we see with Perseus, is sought of  populations by their patriarchs and wealthy.

At any rate, with all these falls from grace into a proper  patriarchal pawn — capable of killing at the behest of another in  authority — after this mythological boot camp, if you will, Perseus  can face the Medusa.

THE WAY OF PERSEUS, PATRIARCHY, AND SOLAR THEOLOGIES

Page 23

So, patriarchal Zeus provides the helmet of darkness so Perseus  can hide himself; it is no surprise that such helmet has its source in  the god, Hades, ruler of the underworld and darkness and the land of  misery and suffering. The helmet then, is much like the ring that is  given Frodo. As connoisseurs of Tolkein know well, the ring is  forged in the fire of Mount Doom, deep in the heart of the land of  the evil ruler, Sauron, in the land of Mordor. Put another way, it  comes from hell. Also, the ring hides Frodo, very much like the  helmet of darkness hides Perseus. Using it, Frodo is able to become  invisible temporarily.

However, the Lord of the Rings story or myth goes deeper than the  Perseus myth in revealing the truth about using the ring or the helmet  of darkness. For every time Frodo uses the ring, every time he hides,  he becomes more visible to the Lord of Darkness, Sauron, he  becomes more like the Dark Force (borrowing from Star Wars, now,  which also has parallels to these two stories). So one becomes darker,  more miserable, more alone and alienated, the more one dissembles  and hides one’s true self from others. Eventually one becomes a  pathetic Gollum. Or a Sith emperor, not much different.

Helmet of Darkness, of Inauthenticity

The helmet, now, is a helmet of darkness, which had belonged to  Hades. Using it, Perseus can hide and not be seen. A clearer  description of defensiveness and inauthenticity is hard to find.  Patriarchal types indeed are repressed and hardly forthcoming. Living  their lives fed by a root of fear and suspicion, they are loathe to tell  you much about themselves lest they be exposed and be vulnerable.  They are quite unlike the free spirits, creative artists, and growing  edge of a recent generation who proclaimed, “Let it all out.”  Patriarchs espouse, as one of their staunch conservative proponents,  Pat Buchanan, once wrote in reaction to that, “No, leave a little in!”  Whereupon, in the article of that name, he listed all the good reasons  — that rationalization that patriarchal folks do — for doing the  dishonest thing.

Sword of Analysis, of Rationalization

Beyond the nymphs’ help with the knapsack, however, the patriarchal    god, Zeus, himself comes to the aid of Perseus. This Commander-in-  Chief of the gods provides both a sword and a helmet. The sword is    a symbol for intellect — the ability to analyze and cut up the world  into its components. The patriarchy highly values that, for in seeking  to separate from the world of Nature and unmuffled experience, it is  good to have a weapon by which to reduce overwhelming reality  down to size as well as keep it safely at a distance and not touching  oneself. And such an implement, the tool of intellectualization and  rationalization, is readily available in the arsenals of the patriarchy. It  provides plenty of rationalizations for all kinds of horrible actions  that it perpetrates. 

For in positing a reality separate from the one of Nature, in  proposing an imaginary world of spirit which transcends the real one  of actual experience with its suffering as well as pleasures, it makes  possible any action in this immediate world by saying it is different in  the imaginary world or it leads to something that is good there. This  is the old saw of the ends justifying the means again — that favorite  song of the self-righteous.

Like the gods for Perseus, the son is instructed by his father to  pick up the sword and repress everything into a box, for the sake of some  masculine good. Notice also that the boy’s feelings of low self-esteem  are played upon in getting him to take up his own task of Perseus.  Traditionally, that father dangling the reward of respect is the same  one who instilled the desire for it in the child by denying it earlier.  The letter reads: 

Remember, you have warriors’ blood in your veins. The code that  made your father who he was is the same code that will make you a  man he would admire, respect. Put your pain in a box. Lock it down.  Like those people in the paintings your father liked, we are men made  up of boxes — chambers of loss and triumph, of hurt and hope, and  love. No one is stronger or more dangerous than a man who can  harness his emotions, his past. Use it as fuel, as ammunition, as ink  to write the most important letter of your life.

…awareness; in general it represents the existence of the unconscious — the dark and out of sight place into which the things we do not want to acknowledge are put; often it represents repressed sexuality. So, from the nymphs Perseus receives the ability to put the murder of Medusa out of his mind. For, anyone being reminded constantly that one is a murderer, by a bloody detached head of ghastly snakes in full view, might indeed go mad ... or actually learn from his mistakes. But neither of these are very convenient for a patriarchal hero.

Indeed, this ability to repress is a part of Perseus’s training in his armed services of the gods. How this is common in the trainings of all soldiers of patriarchy is seen in a recent movie on the exploits of some modern day Perseuses, Navy Seals, in Act of Valor (2012). One of these elite fighters of America’s “terrorists” left a letter for his young son to be given to him if his father should die in battle. The message in the letter from the dead hero provides a good example of the manner in which new generations of Perseuses are instructed by father figures. Notice that the metaphor of box is used instead of knapsack, and keep in mind that this is an elder instructing his son on how to be a man.

Rob McConnell Interviews - JOSEPH LAYCOCK - Investigating the World of Vampires Are vampires purely creatures of myth—or do they represent something deeper within culture, history, and human belief? In this fascinating episode, Joseph Laycock takes us into the world of vampires, not as supernatural beings lurking in the shadows, but as a subject of serious academic study. Drawing from his research into religion, folklore, and subcultures, Laycock explores how vampire legends have evolved over time and how they continue to influence modern society. From ancient myths to contemporary communities that identify with vampirism in symbolic or lifestyle terms, he examines what these beliefs reveal about identity, ritual, and the human imagination. This episode goes beyond the gothic stereotype, offering a nuanced look at how stories of vampires intersect with religion, psychology, and cultural expression. Why do these legends endure across centuries and continents? And what can they teach us about fear, transformation, and the boundaries between life and death? Join us for a thought-provoking and enlightening conversation that explores the vampire not just as a figure of legend—but as a powerful symbol embedded in human culture and consciousness.

Heimskringla (Audiobook) | Viking Kings, Norse Sagas & Medieval Norway | Snorri Sturluson Part 1 ⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5 – From a Catholic Perspective) Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson is a monumental collection of Norse sagas chronicling the lives of the kings of Norway. Rich in narrative power, it immerses listeners in a world of Viking valor, political intrigue, and the gradual transition from paganism to Christianity. From a Catholic perspective, the work is historically valuable but spiritually mixed. Early sections contain pagan worldviews, mythological elements, and a warrior ethos that often glorifies violence and honor over virtue. However, later sagas document the Christianization of Norway, offering glimpses of the Church’s influence in shaping moral order and kingship. Listeners should approach this audiobook as a historical and cultural treasure rather than a source of theological formation. When paired with Christian historical context, it becomes a fascinating study of how the Gospel transformed Northern Europe.
