Even though I don't really believe in God or Satan

@DancingStarGoddess why do you like drawing that?

@dark548 I create what I see in my mind's eye. Nightmares, etc, never a focus on any religious anything, so much as the dark parts meeting the beautiful parts on my mind. It's usually a mixture of both.

I turn the bad into something beautiful

@DancingStarGoddess yeah it's hard to let go of religion indoctrination. Anything "Alien" is satanic from that point of view.

I like to see the fear of Satan or "evil" as a fight or flight chemical response in the brain caused by external audio, visual and or tactile stimuli. These stimuli triggers certain "fear" memories or associations in the brain developed through the natural and nurtural environment in one's life.

The "monster" is pretty much doing a play (acting) to induce irrational/panic type thinking and therefore create discomfort.

If one can see beyond the play the monster pretty much looks like a clown trying too hard lol

End rant.

@dark548 I never think of evil or dark things as scary I don't think. Interesting, but not scary no. My mind is sort of weird like that I guess lol

@DancingStarGoddess Meditation helps one accept and then disassociate from fear.

@DancingStarGoddess If there is a plain beyond the physical where science cannot explain fear. Mindfulness meditation should still work against fear.

@DancingStarGoddess true conviction is the strongest power in the universe. True belief in oneself.

@dark548 it really is, we can achieve so much with a determined mindset
