Level 3: The Psychic Bond

Although we had already lightly covered the concept of "empathy art" Einfühlung the next and last level of provocation that could be considered in th art of Manson would be known in the paranormal slang as "psychic bond."

We've heard, even as an urban legend that there is some innate sensitivity that can connect mothers to their children, also twins and proves to be a feeling that leads to a strong desire to protect. The closer the affinity, is blood-related or not, the greater will be the possibilities of a psychic bond. But overall, we are all candidates to have one.

But that produces the link? The psyche is tied to the subconscious, which is part of the mind that holds the most primitive feelings, anxieties and fears. These feelings have their own language that is projected in dreams. During sleep we may have several episodes in one night or during the wake and remember little or great detail. It is said that even derived from the ESP (extra-sensorial perception).

The link may also result in physical or emotional pain. However, it should not always handle it in a subjective manner; we must first analyze and then show it, it is recommended to keep a dream diary; this way we can see if there is an evolution in feelings.

There are also several books that explain the meaning or interpretation of the dream experience. If you train your mind well enough you will probably have some episodes in which Manson appears as the protagonist, but depending on the situation will have meaning in your life.

As recommendation every time you dream of anything ask yourself how did you feel after awakening?

Some literature that might help more:

Stories of Psychic Bonds Between Mother and Child, by Cassandra Eason.

From Parent to Child: The Psychic Link, Carl Jones

Level 2: Einfühlung Or Aesthetic Empathy

Another reaction that the art of Marilyn Manson causes in its many manifestations, whether music, performance, videos, short films and other visual experiences is a genuine desire to connect with the feelings of others.

This was described in the theory of Einfühlung, equivalent to the German word "empathy."

If art styles previously described (Expressionism, Modernism, Fauvism, Surrealism) are a constant influence in the work of Manson they have the effect or "side effect" as "a spiritual action absolutely free while governing and corrects only internally, without the need to behave according to rules as in logical thinking. "

In the Einfühlung, external elements are part of the act of feeling.Within it there is an intense transformation and it grows with more empathy and sentimental freedom.

How many times have we heard that empathy is just putting yourself in other people's shoes? Ever since the release of the Triptych(Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, Holywood) Marilyn Manson has exhibited an association or empathy with different characters or martyrs, such as Jesus Christ, John F Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Charles Manson and recently Edgar Allan Poe, the Marquis de Sade and Lewis Carroll. The life example of each one of them has been quoted not so much personify or usurp their good names but to create a sense of understanding and introspection, i.e "if you start to understand me better understand them."

One of the most prominent authors of this theory was Theodor Lipps to describe this act as "aesthetic empathy." Another historian, Wilhem Worringer stated that there are two types of art; abstraction and empathy, which has been noticeable ever since the Renaissance period.
