Getting to The Core of Crucifixion and Prayer # 18-23

The Off Spring

What still remains today within their culture are the rituals of finding away to express their depth to pray in order to communicate to God for the sake of granting ones need.

I was witnessing the affects of a 600 year old pre culture still in existence between the folds of mist and jungle vegetation where gyms of todays Catholicism his depth and priest turn a blind eye to have a small outpost in the wilds or as I see it now in an image where Jesus bares his heart, is not that thriving soul of a pre-Christian religion that still beats wild in the night within Costa Rica, between some sacred grove. Sounds of what thought to be bewitching mixed with Christianity of a shorthand view of translation heard and seen. Today traditions still continue. As we travel there is a minute chance one can become aware of religious methods and symbols as we all blindly walk in their Holy ground of existence.

Their becomes the next binding thought.
For you and I it is being able to digest the visual symbolism, and accept the encounter on our journey in life.

Tying the dolls to the metal and bamboo rail like spears became the crucifixion that comes out of the debate of deciding if Jesus is a god or simple man. If Jesus dies and leaves then he truly is a god , with the power to grant prayers and and make them happen. Then again if he dies and his body still stays around like the rest of us the outcome is clear. He's just apart of pop culture and nothing happens. No one is forgiven, no one gets that Miri al wish come true and life goes on as it has , without any surprises to rejoice and thank God for resolution. What you have is what you have, what you got is what you got, until death do you part, back into the soil and covered up, for beautification purposes. We can't have anyone decaying on a spear after life for the public to see as I the Old Testament had.

Devotion is expressed in may ways. Our love for life, love, children and religion.
It can be on the strange side without knowledge.

    "Crucifixion"
    This is key to understanding the history of Roberto's dolls! What a tight knot of religion, traditions, simbols, lack of education tied this man's life.
    And how little we know about life of the people in other countries.
    It' very good when there are writers like you who not only talk but also show us the unknown aspects of life.
    Respect for that!

    Fascinating, scary, forcing you to ask questions...

    To bad that the people that just look and click can't read english. A translation tool would help you follow the story. Often I shoot for the sake of a story and not just a cool image.
