Cult & Beyond: On Body and Transformations
Human body is a perfectly tuned biological machine, controlled by a supercomputer— the human mind. It has its functions preset, encoded in genes, and the necessary software installed. Gradually, hardware is added as we grow and evolve, and individual programs are activated one by one. Our body and mind usually function without any significant problems. Now and then we fine-tune or repair them by visiting a doctor. What happens when an aggressive, invading element, coming from outside or even from within, takes over? Addictions, violence, virus and pregnancy or adolescence, sadness and anxiety. Initially, the body naturally tries to absorb them in an attempt to cope. However, under these influences, transformations naturally occur. A transformation of the body transforms the mind, and vice versa. Welcome to the world of body and its transformations!
