My experience of Guillermo del Toro’s take on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” was like watching a myth unfolding before my eyes. This is my exegesis of that myth.

Two things concern me here:
1. The idea of “untheorizable phenomena” and how such phenomena can be seen as the premier sign of a God’s presence.

Sure, the Hermetic texts are monist in its philosophy and cosmology. They are *also* polytheist, explicitly encouraging us to worship the many gods, not only because it's good to do so, but also to continue our active co-creation with the world as part of our own mystic work towards the Godhead.

"Being as such", as "Presence as such", is beyond the Law of identity and difference. The unity characteristic of presence is therefore not subject to the dialectic of finitude. It is the pure singularity of each, the first polycentric proclaimer of the ineffable.

One of the most darkly funny scientistic pieties is the idea that the discovery of intelligent life beyond Earth would 'humble' humanity - given that in the late c19th and early c20th (an era renowned for human humility 🤔) it was a mainstream view that Mars was inhabited
