The Split Human Split because unfocussed Has not found his or her life purpose (i.e. the dharma) or is not applying it @100% Hence he or she experiences severe distress and exists in a fiery hellSplit Man

(Adharma; unfocussed; undecided)

 

The Split Man sculpture symbolizes the mental state of the dysfunctional human (here represented as a 30 year old). This human (male or female) is falling apart because he/she cannot or will not dedicate his or her life to one goal, consequently can’t realize his/her true self. Failing to realize the true self leaves the Split man unfulfilled and miserable. Un-fulfilment is experienced as (hot) distress, interpreted as in en-darkenment or heaviness, to wit, depression. Achievement of the goal brings enlightenment, experienced as elation or rapturous joy.

 

The Split Man wants to die, indeed needs to die and start again. He/she needs to return to his/her original state in order to recover his/her essential self as sine qua non of creating and realizing his or her unique life purpose (read: dharma). It’s the 100% manifestation in the everyday world that of the chosen life purpose that leads to the experience of the true self, enlightenment and joy … followed by nirvana.

 

 

The Split Man has not discovered his/her unique creative thrust, hence is depicted without a penis (i.e. lingam). Non-achievement of the goal, hence un-fulfilment, is killing him/her. If and when the Split Man discovers his/her creative thrust, then the penis descends and true creative interaction (read: fertilization) begins. It’s when creative contact happens that enlightenment and the awesome realization and rapture of being @ one with the universal creative process (viz. sat-chit-ananda) is experienced.
