I’ve been planning to write a kind of ode to Pan, which would be a continuation of a consciousness theme started in We Can Do Better, and yet ultimately one of the Neuroboros soundtrack pieces. Just not there yet with the lyrics. It’ll be based on the book, The Cult of Pan In Ancient Greece ( by Philippe Borgeaud ), which I’ve studied thoroughly and will be reading it again to refresh my memory of important passages.
[... I’m basically portraying Pan as Borgeaud’s archetypal liminal figure. Pan, caught, physically speaking, between animal and human as a terrestrial being and torn from deity, is somewhat like Christ caught between subterranean or chthonic death as a human and eternity in a Godly infinite void. Pan and Christ though overlap—or are circumvented by Lucifer, (light), and Satan (fire) along with God’s heavenly blinding light which Dante describes so beautifully in his Paradiso. And thus the two figures represent two facets of the origins of consciousness, looking out with a numinous gaze, then as inward with self empowered awareness.]
