DEVOTION: how do we understand and relate to this word? In relationships, naturally, i.e. our devotion to family, friends, even ourselves. Perhaps we possess a deep devotion to our art, our craft, our career, even our health. What about matters of a more other-worldly nature? What about in the context of beliefs? Be they religious, spiritual, political, or wholly secular, how or why do people become devotees of this or that phenomenon? Is devotion a switch which gets flicked on, or is it a slow process of unfolding mandates by which individuals begin defining themselves, if not living their lives according to? To that end, where do religions, myths, and spiritual traditions come from? Was devotion as we know it today baked into them at the time of their creation? Or is our present day devotion a product of time and entropy? That is, is it just devo(lu)tion? Join us on the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Attlas in Formation LIVE, as we unravel this question of devotion, its True nature, and the fate which awaits all beliefs, religions, myths, and spiritual traditions. We will be using contemporary examples including the recent sale of The Lord of the Rings to Embracer Group to analyze the practical ways in which vehicles and vessels of PROVIDENCE become mere PROPERTIES, and yet somehow manage to live on garnering tremendous devotion.
