I've been going down the rabbit hole on this podcast Weird Studies. It seems to be focused on the mysteries existence that have been annihilated by late capitalist technology and culture. (The first episode I listened to was about the Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan the Barbarian movies).

Something I have thought of, but not until recently, is ever diminished space for interiority in our experience of life. Interiority being space inside your head which you consider to be you. It's getting forced into ever tinier corners by videogames, commercial music, even delightful podcasts like Weird Studies.

The assertion of the show is that our experience of the self was once much more subjective and much more porous. But now we let external, objective metrics circumscribe our experience of ourselves as consumers, checking-account-balance-havers, employees, and recipients of Likes.

Anyway, this comic is my exploration of what it would be like to suddenly, not believe, but know that you had encountered a god. What would your obligations be to that god and how would you develop the relationship.

This is page 4. You can read the preceding 3 pages here, in Gods of Mine.

Side note, me and Jeff Eggleston (my brother from another temporal plane of existence) have been discussing/arguing about Divination. Because I gave him a Divination card from Anita Inverarity's Universal Folk Oracle when he was at my house and then asked him not to tell me what it was.

eff felt he had had a profound experience and I insisted I had played a trick on him to make him feel as though he had had that experience. But if I'm being honest I have to admit that I play the exact same trick on myself pretty regularly. And it works.
