Notice the aims of Man’s every urge: a cathedral, an Alhambra distilled to its essence. And here, a cruel geometry that men might worship, and, worshipping it, draw Rule into their veins. But while Rule can bind Flesh, it cannot guide Spirit. The pious harken to Example.
But what exists beyond the strictures of the tabernacle? Outside the shrine’s walls—and its niches, naves, and ranks of cardinals—the Eternal lies in wait. The Eternal, defined by absence as much as presence (represented here by the nothingness floating, ghostly, within a field of nothing) bears the unanswerable force of impending judgment, and more order than all the orders of Man.
The heart’s command speaks louder than any Church.

Like a kaleidoscope, these doodles take random information and arrange it in a pattern that may seem chaotic... but is really highly ordered. I think I never really understood the how religion altered the course of world history until I studied this particular doodle. Now I am certain, the doodler is the translator of the mysteries of our time -- don't be afraid of this hypnagogic vision. Dive into the prism and enjoy the rainbows!
