The veneration of the Divine is a common thing in many different countries, cultures, and traditions, but one thing that has become quite common in our day and age is an unrelenting abuse of such and insistence upon the comingling of the profane with the heavenly, the refined, and the hellish. Such may in fact reflect various forms that showcase attributes of the Divine Mysteries, but are not sufficient in and of themselves to encourage and strengthen those with a vested interest in the promotion of realms of godliness and strength which are commensurate with a profession of divine passion and fear. The wisdom of the ages shines forth in both the profane and the grotesque, but such is much more common amongst a godless society than the manifestation of veneration for the divine in an ordered and principled fashion of great splendor and potent worship. The multiplicity of the forms of the glory of the transcendent are unending, but that does not mean that would should abstain from the work and play of the artist in creating and discovering such veneration of the divine wherever it manifests, whether in one's own mind, or in one's own soul or experience. True grace and courage when beautified with wisdom of the sages and the brave throughout history since time immemorial are astounding sights to discover when one has been given eyes to see and ears to hear of such glories.
But when discovering such, all too often the vain and contemptible grubby hands of sick and demented adle-minded and cruel sycophants often times predispose and destroy the heavenly association of such works, or spoil such through an improper use of such doctrines for one's own personal showboating platform designed to elicit a contemptible and haughty approbation from the masses in how advanced they are in their own spiritual practice while they are clearly not capable of nor are interested in the promotion and well-being of their own soul. This travesty has been made manifest in astonishing fashion in today's world through many widely known public figures, but is also clearly seen in the widespread rise to fame of many who now use Religion as their express tool to try to accrue unto themselves a following which would yield the most dividends for their haughty and contemptible public media campaigns designed entirely to showboat on their latest accomplishments. Such can have all of the glory that they desire, but I would point to the classic film V for Vendetta as a great reminder of what true and lasting change and power truly looks like when it comes to the fore in antagonism against those who would see to the continued oppression of those who have a vested interest in the well being of their own souls and in the promotion of the general wellfare:
