MISSION STATEMENT
Melampus is the dialectical opponent of materialism and atheism. Melampus is opposed to scientific rationalism and Positivism, when (and only when) these lend support to materialism and atheism.
Melampus examines the spiritual Shadow Problem of the West. Shadow commences with hostility to the Flesh and expresses itself in split consciousness, hypocrisy and cruelty. Disgust of the Shadow problem is the source of academic hostility to religion. Disgust lends force to materialism and atheism as an illusory means of escape from Shadow.
The mission of Melampus is to help Western consciousness escape the "Either/Or".
Either: puritanical dualism and the shadow problem
Or: materialism and despair
There is a Middle Way by means of which each person may live a full and balanced life, one that is both spiritual and material. There is a Western Way of life affirmation.
That contemporary materialism breads despair is everywhere evident. Contemporary man has lost faith in the infinite. Overtly or covertly, we have been taught that Death is the utter annihilation of the person - the inevitable finality. This thought is rotting morality. It is possible to have faith in Immortality.

The Minotaur
The image is entitled THE MINOTAUR and is a reflection on the Western condition of split-consciousness and the shadow. The mask represents the outer persona, bound in agony through self-inflicted pain. The inner Self looks upon the sufferings of the outer being and mourns. Even in the depths of misery, it is as if the Self were a spectator of one's own spiritual drama.
