Spirit Energy, alternatively translated as mana, is a kind of "life force" [1] possessed by humans, elves, and other living things in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world. It forms one half of a metaphysical yin-yang relationship with the opposite demonic energy of the monsters. Very similar to the Eastern concept of qi, spirit energy is lost by vigorous activity and magical spellcasting, while it is replenished by food, rest, and living in a healthy environment. Although monsters do not innately possess spirit energy, they all greatly hunger for it, and for some monsters it represents most of their diet. Since male semen contains highly concentrated spirit energy, this makes it the monsters' most delicious food.
A mystical, metaphysical substance, spirit energy is generated by all living things except monsters and elementals. Small amounts are contained in organic foods like meat and plants, but it is intelligent life which produces it in the greatest abundance. Angels and elves both have more than humans, which provides them a limited degree of magical protection from monsterization. When spirit energy is expended, males replenish it naturally from within themselves. Females do the same but less quickly; they can also replenish their reserves by absorbing the the energy which is emitted passively by grass, plants, and other living things in the environment. While useful in human lands, this becomes a ruinous liability in demon realms, where absorbing demonic energy from the surroundings causes monsterization via spirit energy corruption.
Monsterization of women occurs when so much demonic energy is poured into the victim that her internal spirit energy production ability is extinguished, turning her into a creature of only demonic energy. This is impossible in men except for those of very particular psychologies; instead, for males demonic energy in their system spurs spirit energy production. Persistent exposure turns a man into an incubus, a creature of both demonic and spirit energy.
Although a few humans can command elemental magic, the vast majority of human mages use spirit energy magic. It is not clear whether magical skill is something that anyone can learn, or whether it's genetic; but by either nature or nurture, some people are better at it than others. Demonic magic looks very similar to spirit magic - to the extent that many people in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world make no distinction - but the underlying energies are entirely different. Overuse of spirit magic - just like overuse of physical skills - causes exhaustion as spirit energy leaves the body; some monster girls, particularly akanames and beelzebubs, love licking mens' bodies precisely to get at the spirit energy contained in sweat. But all monsters prefer semen best of all, as the white stuff contains much more spirit energy than any other source.
When they have a husband, monster girls can become so enamoured with the taste of his spirit energy that they become addicted to it. Married monster girls also become extremely good at detecting their husband's spirit scent, and can essentially track him down wherever he is. For
unattached monster girls who eat spirit energy, like succubi, a dietary supplement is brewed by golems wherein a limited amount of semen that the automata milk out of their victims can supply many monsters with nutritional, if foul-tasting, energy.

The exoteric claim to the exclusive possession of a unique truth, or of Truth without epithet, is an error purely and simply; in reality, every expressed truth necessarily assumes a form, that of its expression, and it is metaphysically impossible that any form should possess a unique value to the exclusion of other forms; for a form, by definition, cannot be unique and exclusive, that is to say, it cannot be the only possible expression of what it expresses.
Form implies specifications or distinction, and the specific is only conceivable as a modality of a "species;' that is to say, of a category that includes a combination of analogous modalities. Again, that which is limited excludes by definition whatever is not comprised within its own limits and must compensate for this exclusion by reaffirmation or repetition of itself outside its own boundaries, which amounts to saying that the existence of other limited things is rigorously implied in the very definition of the limited. To claim that a limitation, for example, a form considered as such, is unique and incomparable of its kind, and that it excludes the existence of other analogous modalities, is to attribute to it the unicity of Existence itself; now, no one can contest the fact that a form is always a limitation or that a religion is of necessity always a form- not, that goes without saying, by virtue of its internal Truth, which is of a universal and supraformal order, but because of its mode of expression, which, as such, cannot but be formal and therefore specific and limited.
It can never be said too often that a form is always a modality of a category of formal, and therefore distinctive or multiple, manifestation, and is consequently but one modality among others that are equally possible, their supraformal cause alone being unique. We will also repeat - for this is metaphysically of great importance - that a form, by the very fact that it is limited, necessarily leaves something outside itself, namely, that which its limits exclude; and this something, if it belongs to the same order, is necessarily analogous to the form under consideration, since the distinction between forms must needs be compensated by an indistinction or relative identity that prevents them from being absolutely distinct from each other, for that would entail the absurd idea of a plurality of unicities or Existences, each form representing a sort of divinity without any relationship to other forms.
As we have just seen, the exoteric claim to the exclusive possession of the truth comes up against the axiomatic objection that there is no such thing in existence as a unique fact, for the simple reason that it is strictly impossible that such a fact should exist, unicity alone being unique and no fact being unicity; it is this that is ignored by the ideology of the "believers", which is fundamentally nothing but an intentional and interested confusion between the formal and the universal. The ideas that are affirmed in one religious form (as, for example, the idea of the Word or of the Divine Unity) cannot fail to be affirmed, in one way or another, in all other religious forms; similarly the means of grace or of spiritual realization at the disposal of one priestly order cannot but possess their equivalent elsewhere; and indeed, the more important and indispensable any particular means of grace may be, the more certain it is that it will be found in all orthodox forms in a mode appropriate to the environment in question.
The foregoing can be summed up in the following formula: pure and absolute Truth can only be found beyond all its possible expressions; these expressions, as such, cannot claim the attributes of this Truth; their relative remoteness from it is expressed by their differentiation and multiplicity, by which they are strictly limited ...
It was pointed out earlier that in its normal state humanity is composed of several distinct "worlds." Certain people will doubtless object that Christ, when speaking of the "world," never suggested any such delimitation, and furthermore that He made no reference to the existence of an esoterism. To this it may be an answer that neither did He explain to the Jews how they should interpret those of His words that scandalized them. Moreover, an esoterism is addressed precisely to those "that have ears to hear" and who for that reason have no need of the explanations and "proofs" that may be desired by those for whom esoterism is not intended. As for the teaching that Christ may have reserved for His disciples, or some of them, it did not have to be set forth explicitly in the Gospels, since it is contained therein in a synthetic and symbolic form, the only form admitted in sacred Scriptures ...
In the final analysis the relationship between exoterism and esoterism is equivalent to the relationship between "form" and "spirit" that is discoverable in all expressions and symbols; this relationship must clearly also exist within esoterism itself, and it may be said that only the spiritual authority places itself at the level of naked and integral Truth. The "spirit" (that is to say, the supraformal content of the form, which, for its part, corresponds to the "letter") always displays a tendency to breach its formal limitations, thereby putting itself in apparent contradiction with them. It is for this reason that one may consider every religious readaptation, and therefore every Revelation, as fulfilling the function of an esoterism in relation to the preceding religious form; Christianity, for example, is esoteric relatively to the Judaic form) and Islam relatively to the Judaic and Christian forms, though this is, of course, only valid when regarded from the special point of view that we are here considering and would be quite false if understood literally. Moreover, insofar as Islam is distinguished by its form from the other two monotheistic religions, that is to say, insofar as it is formally limited, these religions also possess an esoteric aspect as between Christianity and Judaism. However, the relationship to which we referred first is a more direct one than the second, since it was Islam that, in the name of the spirit, shattered the forms that preceded it, and Christianity that shattered the Judaic form, and not the other way around ...

I have made Thee the Companion of my heart
But my body is available for those who seek its company,
And my body is friendly towards its guests,
But the Beloved of my heart is the Guest of my soul
-- Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya
God's in a coma
Put faith in a life support
Running away won't feel the same
If you reach your metaphysical last resort
Oh, malevolence and purgatory give you pause
It's a miracle you haven't broken any laws
We are not entitled to surviving
So keep your friends and your enemies thriving
What a cliché
Every time this happens
I'm breaking a promise
I made to a version of me
Why can't I covet
And keep it away
From the leeches who want to deceive?
What is coming has begun
It's something that you got to see
We lie and say that it's too late for some redemption
What is coming has begun
An ending I won't live to see
We tell ourselves there can't be hell if there's no heaven
Once again we got suffocated
In a sick perversion of a spider's web
Crawling over all the spent digested pieces
Celebrate the dead
Here come all the judging eyes
Got to pave the road with your best intentions
I only wish you can picture a future
That doesn't resemble your crazy inventions
A mirror only works if you open your eyes
Even then you have to understand what's inside
The easy part is always hardest to see
I know you'll never guess, but darling
You're so critical
Darling, you're so critical
Oh, you're so critical
Oh, this is a cave-in
The weight of the catalyst
Just wait, let the games begin
Going to tell you all about it for the savages
You're so critical
Darling, you're so critical
Oh, you're so critical.

Questions from various angles
Paul Jaisini claims he paints invisible paintings.
Is it Anti-Realism?
Is it Visual Emancipation? Is it full Visual Emancipation from any kind of visual image?
Paints Invisible Paintings - Is it just a figure of speech?
Is it Utopian?
Is it driven by unconscious and irrational thus in accordance to Sigmund the invisible painting is not rationally autonomous?
How could it be verified and where or what is the invisible painting’s by Paul Jaisini evidence?
Paul Jaisini wants to cultivate Invisible Style. It surely is a style that is not a lucid one, for clarity would expose the lack of content.
Is there any content?
Is it an attack on the ‘metaphysics of presence’?
What is the definition if there is certain definitions to apply to Invisible Painting? Can it be informative about contemporary culture?
Is Paul Jaisini with Invisible Paintings promotes Postmodern Obscurantism - deliberately preventing (fully if it is in fact the invisible painting) the facts or the full details of Invisible Painting’s matter from becoming known?
(Obscurantism: deliberately restricting knowledge—opposition to the spread of knowledge, a policy of withholding knowledge from thepublic; and, deliberate obscurity—an abstruse style (as in literature and art) characterized by deliberate vagueness.) Leo Strauss also was criticized for proposing the notion of “esoteric” meanings to ancient texts, recondite knowledge inaccessible to the “ordinary” intellect.
Kant employed technical terms that were not commonly understood. Schopenhauer contended that post-Kantian philosophers such as Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel deliberately mimicked Kant’s way of writing. “Because of his style which was obscure, Kant was properly understood by exceedingly few. And it is as if all the philosophical writers, who since Kant had had some success, had devoted themselves to writing still more unintelligibly than Kant. This was bound to succeed!”[
Does Paul Jaisini wants to be understood on any level or he wants no understanding of his Invisible Paintings? Can there be any level of understanding if not seeing the Invisible Paintings?

Lighting of the Sails: Metamathemagical
For the 10th Anniversary of Vivid Sydney, celebrated Australian Artist Jonathan Zawada will create a site-specific artwork that transforms the Sydney Opera House sails into a series of kinetic digital sculptures.
Jonathan Zawada’s concept for the installation explores metaphysical themes using imagery inspired by the Australian environment.

Light and shadows created a special kind of unreal situation.

“There was something disquieting about the way an intimate object, seemingly withdrawn into its solemn steadfastness, could affect human emotions. Any old thing forgotten in a corner, if the eye dwelt on it, acquired an eloquence of its own, communicating its lyricism and magic to the kindred soul. If a neglected object of this kind were forcibly isolated, that is, divested of its warmth and of the protective coat of its environment, or even ironically combined with completely unrelated things, it would reassert its dignity in the new context and stand there, incomprehensible, weird, mysterious.”
—Werner Haftmann, Painting in the Twentieth Century (1982)
The basis for this drawing I found amoungst the many "building blocks' that I keep filed so that I can revisit and perhaps utilize. The concept is the moment of The Big Bang (shocker!). The black rectangles represent the warping and expanding of space as the inconceivably explosive forces travel outward.

This photo was not only a TON of fun to shoot, but I really love the concept behind it. This year I'm interested in the topic of the metaphysical side of reality: Thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas. What is the difference between a material brain and a thoughtful mind? What makes up "us"? The top figure represents the 1/2 of reality that is metaphysical and what I believe to be transcendental. It's how we experience our world through what we feel and think as opposed to what we see and touch. The bottom figure represents how we experience our physical world, the other 1/2 of reality, the one of material and matter. These two are linked and connected within us to create one person.
