FEARS

$5 STICKERS

"If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!"

Mary Shelley


What truly makes a monster a monster? Do know they are a monster? Or are they just going about their day and we are getting caught up in the wake of their intentions? How about our own? Are we well mannered, or do we remain oblivious of how our actions are affecting those around us? Or how we affect ourselves. 

Whispers is about the voices in our head that speak to us, coerce us from away from our path. What sounds like a good idea misleads us aiming us in a different direction from our intended goals. Let's sleep another hour, it can wait until tomorrow, or telling ourselves we are not good enough and don't deserve success. We SUCK! 

In this painting, the monster is a Baby Cthulhu deciding that the Sun is a great big red ball and decides to play with it and in doing so he remains ignorant of the turmoil he is creating on the Earth below. He smiles and laughs above, while a small boat gets caught up in the waves finding itself about to be fed into a hungry mouth. In the boat are Ajna and Yosef, the two children from the Akashic Wormhole painting from the Chapter before. It's OK, they survive. 

Cthulhu is a fictional comic being created by the author H.P. Lovecraft making his first appearance in 1928 in The Call of Cthulhu. Over time his mythos continued to growth in supplemental stories by  Lovecraft himself and also other authors, musicians, and artists. He is the leader of "The Great Old Ones," a collection of ancient beings that arrived on Earth before humans evolved. Their city fell beneath the Pacific Ocean and Cthulhu remains sleeping there, communicating and influencing humanity and life on the surface through dreams.
There are two options, letting the voices in the mind and dreams have control, or take control of them. Yes, the first steps are hard, and we keep falling and failing, but the Will is like a muscle, the more you push, the more you do, the more you pick yourself up, the stronger it gets. Soon you get to the point you know this to be true, and gain momentum, and the falls impact us less. 

The whispers in the dark are just that, Whispers!

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

H.P. Lovecraft
