Does Art imitate life or does life imitate fArt.
That is the question of inversion - nihilistic inversions: first comes the word, not the act.
My time here is short, so in brief.
Here I analyze the situation.
How the mental disorder arises as a defensive reaction to emerging self-awareness - developing into a school of spiritual and philosophical thought with multiple variants.

Here I analyse the parasite-meme that emerges to take advantage of this mental dis-ease, creating a narrative - a story - as to how and why it chose to embrace what all other tribes rejected; why they had no shame in creating a covenant, an agreement, a symbiotic relationship with this dis-ease. Opportunism. Survival at all costs, including intellectual integrity, manifesting psychosomatic effects, e.g., neurosis, schizophrenia etc.
Parasite-Meme

A fable you say?
A false narrative?
Well, after reading the symptoms of how memes, i.e., ideologies, dogmas, can use words/symbols to disconnect the organism - through the brain/nervous system, from reality, and after you research how and what zombification is in nature, you can visit here for actual extreme cases of the effects of this mental disorder:
Circus World
knowthyself.forumotion.net/t2499-circus-world
The worse are the subtle cases that were seduced, coerced, and bribed into being infected into a world-view that seems pleasing, comforting, deep, profound…and yet is self-destructive.
A semiotic method of manipulation and exploitation taking advantage of human existential anxieties and biological/psychological need/desires.
Pretty words pretending to be saying something significant when they are saying nothing at all, or are simply clouding the obvious in seemingly deep prose and poetic jargon: occultism, obscurantism.
Pretention masked as wisdom, as genius.
Manipulating what abstract fArt has for decades…human vanity and the individual’s need to belong to a group, i.e., to be included and not excluded.
Meaningless lingo pretending to offer power, well-being…insight.
A secret is known by the gurus…and you must surrender to their authority to receive its grace.
An ancient practice which is still effective, especially in times of trauma and distress, such as when empires implode and the world seems to be coming to an end.
