I’m aware that the Godhand was inspired by the Cenobites from Hellraiser.
I didn’t say that Freud came up with the idea of a “collective unconscious”, nor was I implying that the “collective consciousness” (as it occurs in correct translations) is unconscious; I was speculating, rather, that...
The ending of College is perfect. That genius slip by Gandolfini as he pleads with Carm, and then the end credits music: Golden Leaves for GK Chesterton by Michael Hope—just sublime.

-More information about Femto‘s plans for the world, including his plans for astral entities.
-Some seem to presume that...
