A troop of apes had been watching the palace for some time.

They climbed to the palace via trees growing from the cliff face. There had not been a war for many years so they had not maintained the practice of pruning the vegetation around the palace.

The elder princess, who was assumed to take the crown when the king passed, was known for her voracious sexual appetite. While the king was loved, the elder princess was perhaps the greater celebrity. The people thronged and lined the streets to see her. Here she walks with her attendants to a private pavilion.

Once inside she is strapped into a harness. She is on a stage, a raised platform, facing a dirt courtyard where a selection of the kingdom's warriors engage in mock gladiatorial contests. Each warrior has a large painted number on squares of cloth tied to his back and chest.

Ouroboros and Spiral Freakout

Adam and Eve (detail) Colour pencil and gouache on paper. Detail of Adam and Eve . Adam and Eve Colour pencil and gouache on paper. I only ever hallucinated on two occasions … to date. A few weeks apart. This occurred in the period between the Morgan period and the Newanda period. The first occasion included a vision of the ouroboros, which may go some way toward explaining the persistence of the Ouroboros section of The Scientific Creation Myth article in From Particles to Angels . The second occasion is what I call "The Spiral Freakout". The content of each is easily traceable to the reading I was doing at the time. I've never successfully drawn the ouroboros vision, but this Adam and Eve picture is derived from it. The idea is that the material universe is composed of the body of the Ouroboros serpent which has neither a tail nor a head. The tail and head of the Ouroboros, as a single unit, is comprised by the conscious experiencer of the world...

You can see all of this ha...

Preamble and Contents

Myrdemmon 2 (Detail) Black ink and colour pencil on photocopy paper. (see:  https://alej-theconfessions.blogspot.com/2020/01/myrdemmon.html ) Preamble:  To go straight to the artwork, scroll down to the Contents section below. My Facebook page refers to two interests: my From Particles to Angels blog here at Blogger (to be abbreviated henceforth as FPTA), and "Erotic Science Fiction Comic Book Art", with some links to some art sites where I've posted. If you are familiar with my FPTA blog (if anyone has read any of it), there may seem something odd in the pairing of this with erotic science fiction comic book art. The subject matter of the FPTA blog is also of a kind that may raise questions like: "What kind of a person is writing this?", since comments on society and religion tend to illicit the question: "Who is this person that we should listen to them?" As I say there, there is no particular reason why anyone should listen to anything I ...
