Earthfolk describe the Warrior’s Questers who
created the Atom Bomb with its Mushroom Cloud as being, as a people
and culture, in post-traumatic stress. They
are a psychically and spiritually numbed people who have long
forgotten how to ask for help.
To Earthfolk ears, they babble
on, aimlessly talking to themselves about how happy they
are in their Land of Peace and Plenty as they simultaneously set
about endlessly
raping, pillaging and destroying whatever is before them.
• With a twist on the macho
playground taunt, the Warrior’s Quester is “afraid
of his own Shadow,” here meaning his Dark Side.
• Even after reflecting on the Mushroom Cloud, the Warrior’s Quester
denies that humans are now living in apocalyptic times.
• He denies that the world is engulfed in endless warring,
and that
the Other is seen as Intimate Enemy.
• He peers at the vaporized shadows of humans left by Hiroshima’s “Little
Boy” atomic bomb and hails this horror as a sign of Victory for
the Free World.
• We Earthfolk hold that those who do not see their Shadow (and all aspects
of human darkness) are doomed to be controlled by their Shadow.
