Inscendence as a complementary word to the transcendence brings you contemplations on various topics from the perspective of the reflective, associative and internal intelligence. A journey into depths to find, like Rumi said, the “Messiah, in my heart, I bear.” (مسيحا در دلم پيدا و من بيمار می گردم).
Enjoy the articles. Take them in. More than philosophical discussions or my attempts to convince you of anything, take them as gentle meditations and let them reveal that which your own Inner Heart knows.
[The articles from the old website, Orphic Inscendence, are here too.]
The Way of the Mask
Headlessness and decapitation is such a common religious motif because the head, that is, the face is the source of identity. We identify who we are, and who others are, mostly on the basis of face and our facial features. Is it a wonder then, when upon applying make up, one says to "feel different" or even as a "different person"? The reflection in the mirror is different, and we relate to that reflection with a different sentiment. Head, is also, the source of rational thought and ego - identity, which is the very core of the separation, but that is a topic for another essay.
