A Demonic Presence: Civilization Cargo

[Abishai100]

In the isolationism-exposition film The Beach, a young American traveller named Richard (portrayed brilliantly by the offbeat but talented actor Leo DiCaprio) finds himself experimenting with wildness and meditation on the darkside of the human mind while living on an isolated paradise-like island.

As Richard delves deeper into the grey areas of darkness and isolationism, we see on screen an image of a young man whose eyes become eerily cynical, suspicious of the value of human bonding. This film is based on alienation-isolation meditation themes and is similar to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness which also explores the imaginative boundaries of mental isolation and was loosely translated by iconic film-maker Francis Ford Coppola for the Vietnam War cynicism film Apocalypse Now (starring Marlon Brando in a role similar to DiCaprio's).

In The Beach, we are invited to consider the melee of claustrophobic modern urban traffic that could drive an American towards urges to be isolated (on a paradise-like island) and bring out inner demons of antisocialist behaviour.

Does modern society create feelings of spiritual suffocation? DiCaprio also starred in the teamwork-contemplation films The Wolf of Wall Street and The Revenant.

Richard's character in The Beach is similar (in demonism) to the eerie Marvel Comics super-villain Gray Goblin (Gabriel Stacy), a man-turned-freak haunted by the demons of civilization claustrophobia. Perhaps we can use the Gray Goblin to understand 'perceptual demonology' representative of our modern age of traffic-cynicism.

For example, are we humans naturally curious about 'ghosts/demons' lurking in elevators?

Dinosaur Dread

Anticipation is a key feature of the human mind. How we predict the future (e.g., meteorology, war planning, school finance investments, etc.) affects how organized our communities and environments feel.

Science can not solve every problem, so we rely on our instincts for survival in many cases, which is why perhaps dinosaur-themed entertainment (e.g., Jurassic Park) is so popular in our modern age of 'intelligence evaluation.'

Dear Abishai100
The demonic and occult dark forces that attach themselves to ppl are not something ppl create or make up.

If you read Scott Pecks books on
Glimpses of the Devil
People of the Lie
He observes and discovers how these entities and forces exist and operate independently of the human mind and will.

Anyone who has recovered from disastrous abusive or deadly situations related to occult or sorcery will tell you they had to stop and get away from that practice to stop the problems.
