Naming the Internal Guide System
The pilgrim
consists (internally) of a particular (albeit vastly complex) differential
order (represented as her self) of individual nutrients (i.e. of discrete instructions
or messages). She swims (step by step, hence as a unit or quantum) in a vast
soup (often experienced as an ocean) of simple and complex discrete nutrients
(or messages), i.e. her external environment. The
pilgrim’s on-screen activity, hence consciousness, is guided, i.e. nourished,
by the particular (hence relative) arrangement and (sliced) state of both her
internal and her external nutrient soups. In short,
the pilgrim experiences being nourished from both inside and outside. Some
pilgrims anthropomorphise the fundamentally unknown inner source of
nourishment as the Inner Mother (or Goddess) and the outer source of
nourishment as the Universal Great Mother (to wit: Mother Earth). Individual
internal nourishment functions are further anthropomorphised as lesser female
deities, such as Justitia, Sophia, Athena, or Parvati, Durga, Kali and so on.
Christian pilgrims represent the inner nourishment source as the Madonna,
with or without child. Scientists represent her as the Alma Mater (and whom they
serve and worship). She is also represented neutrally as the (inborn or
inherent) Genie. Male pilgrims represent (and name) the source with a variety
of Saint’s names, or, as in India, theriomorphise the source (that nourishes
with perfect solutions) as the pubescent Ganesh, Lord of Obstacles. Images and
names are given to the inner nutrient source (i.e. that resolves all
problems) to permit easier (because indirect) access to, and therefore
manipulation of the inner source that nourishes. Both the
inner and outer mothers are fundamentally blind, deaf, dumb, unfeeling and
uncaring (i.e. ‘blind watchmakers) in relation to the actual state of the
pilgrim. The Guide System (or Mother) as oracle
