The Atomic Bomb and the Garden of Eden: The two events
are expressive each
of the other. Consider:
the Rib account closes with “god”—the most powerful
power of all, the Creator!—lambasting humans and sending an
angel with a Fiery Sword to cast them out into exile on the dirtball
called Earth. As the later
Christian tradition interprets this event, humans must realize
that they are despicable, corrupt, evil, drenched in sin—pieces
of shit. More, there is nothing that they can do, individually or
collectively,
to make amends and reconcile with their god. Their nature is “fallen” and
they must be “saved” or else they are doomed to eternal
hellfire.
On its own terms, the Abrahamic Big Story could not imagine the Atomic
Bomb. No Abrahamic would consider that he could save himself. Only
his most powerful god could do so (and did so, as they state, by sending
his only begotten son to die in our stead and so effect redemption).
As the Secular and Scientism Big Stories evolve and
develop, humans see themselves as messianic. Both secularists and
scientismists feel
confident that they can solve all human problems, just given enough
time.
In time, the military gathers together
followers of all three Big Stories, places them within the special “garden” of
the Manhattan
Project where they, collectively and communally, creatively
imagine the Big Story of the Warrior’s Quest.
In doing so, their Stories become part of the Warrior’s
Quest past. Much like the vaunted caterpillar emerging
from the chrysalis—the Warrior’s
Quest takes wing! Flies over Hiroshima and …transforms
the Earth and all life on Earth through nuclear domination.
Sensually immerse yourself beholding
the images of the Mushroom
Cloud and Earthrise.
The Earth now is a nuclear garden wherein the Lone
Male Warrior’s
Quester reigns supreme.
