ST.STEPHAN'S CHURCH ZAGREB
This church shows the attitude of the Catholic Church towards "non-believers" in
an unvarnished way. People who don't submit to the Church are doomed. They belong to the
reign of the devil. Hence these "ugly men" with their distorted faces. These
"outcasts, villains e.g. monsters" are people like you and me, though. Their
only "crime" is, that they have a different view on life. This Church policy -
"who isn't with me is against me" - has (had) disastrous consequences. Almost
all big atrocities committed in Western history can be related to it.... |
Suffering,
despair and anger |
|
|
|
Humans purposely turned into
vermin, in order to prevent believers from becoming apostate |
All over Europe I have seen the same pattern: the more
independent people are, the greater the threats of the Church: LINK
Lucca, Perignac, Freiburg |
A Christian knight killing a "monster" |
|
First
they degrade you into a monster, then they kill you |
|
Even
the Madonna has a rulers' attitude... |
Fortunately, compared to previous ages, the world has
become more humane (?) and hopefully the Church did follow that trend. However, what has
been in your genes for 2000 years isn't easily stamped out. So, it is never bad to be on
one's guard.... |
The "villain" heads are on three sides of the
church |
|
|
|
|
All brothers of the Green Man |
|
|
|
|
There were works carried
out. It even adds to the suggestivity of the pictures... |
The true nature of a person (organization, church) you only
will know through revealing its dark side e.g. shadow part.... |

Just outside the church compound the atmosphere changes
immediately. A fountain in front of the church with several good looking Green Men! |

Confirmed during my short tour through the city. Green Men
abound (most I couldn't schoot, because I drove around in my car). Contrary to the church
the people apparently cherish a different view on life. A life without sin, guilt and
punishment. Here the Green Man is the symbol of life's abundance! |
|
|
Green
Man with Shell (Womb), which means he considers himself a servant to the Cosmic Mother |
|
Once
again |
|
The positive attitude towards nature is striking. Here a God is
experiencing his rebirth (could be also Parcival) |
|
Prove
of very deep insight into life: the Ultimate as Mirror, Emptiness or Cosmic Womb |
|
Contrary
to the stern expression of the Churches' Madonna here the sweet expression of the Eternal
Feminine |

About to leave Zagreb I suddenly saw several Green Men.
They are part of a very normal housing block. It means there could be countless others in
common streets as well. While photographing an old man passed by, and with a broad smile
pointing at the image he said to me: "this is the real one!" Indeed, these Green
Men express their inherent nature - their Divinity - in a very dignified way |
|
|
|
|
|
Aren't they absolutely beautiful and admirable? I said
thanks to the Mother for this precious last moment gift |

Serenity, power and goodness |
