What Carl Jung had to say about the leadership and characteristics of large groups of people would also seem to apply to social groups linked together by the Internet and bonded by religious causes such as Islamic Fundamentalism:

"There is no question but that Hitler belongs in the category of the truly mystic medicine man...since the time of Mohammed nothing like it has been seen in this world. This markedly mystic characteristic of Hitler is what makes him do things which seem to us illogical, inexplicable, curious and unreasonable....Don't you know that if you choose one hundred of the most intelligent people in the world and get them all together, they are a stupid mob? Ten thousand of them together would have the collective intelligence of an alligator.... In a crowd, the qualities which everybody possesses multiply, pile up, and become the dominant characteristics of the whole crowd. Not everybody has virtues, but everybody has the low animal instincts, the basic primitive caveman suggestibility, the suspicions and vicious traits of the savage age. The result is that when you get a nation of many millions of people, it is not even human. It is a lizard or a crocodile or a wolf."

Here is a quote from Carl Jung on why people create "stone idols with human features":

“Very early in history men began trying to express what they felt to be the soul or spirit of a rock by working it into a recognizable form. In many cases, the form was a more or less definite approximation to the human figure – for instance, the ancient menhirs with their crude outlines of faces, or the hermae that developed out of boundary stones in ancient Greece, or the many primitive stone idols with human features. The animation of stone must be explained as the projection of a more or less distinct content of the unconscious into the stone .” Carl Jung in "Man and his Symbols"

It's my opinion that whatever thoughts and feelings were present in the collective unconscious of the members of the community that erected these monoliths are unknown to us modern people. But the aesthetic beauty of the statues of the Greco-Roman era we can relate to and appreciate. I don't think that the same can be asserted about these Easter Island monoliths and of the people that created them. The expression of the black man in the background mural, who appears to be gazing at and reacting to the presence of this monolith, seems to be conveying my assertion or observation. As a point of interest, the mural on that wall was painted on AFTER the Easter Island monolith was installed in this vacant lot.

A young woman posted a dream of hers to the internet, and I thought that it provided an interesting and provocative compliment to several of my images. What is depicted in the images above are sights that I happened to encounter while walking about Baltimore. Perhaps it is imagery like this that people chance to notice on the street  that is retained by their minds,  becoming  the raw material both for their dreams and for their nightmares. Below is the description that this person provided concerning their dream:

"OK..so in my dream when I open my eyes (they aren't really open but in the dream they are) I see a clown standing at the end of my bed...I try to run but he kinda like grabs me with no hands like some kind of magical hold because I can't move but I can still see his arms and he is in my face and he keeps pretending to bite me but never actually does (he had it seemed the teeth of a dog....they were very big and most were sharp). He like puts his open mouth to my skin with his teeth out or he licks his finger and then tries to bite me but always backs up and then I began to say NO! and I pray and say Lord help me (I told him I forbid you to haunt my dreams anymore in the name of Jesus Christ) and when I say the Lord's name his clown face seems human and it shakes kinda like in slow motion and the human face seems to be trying to escape the clowns body."

A quote from Carl Jung on the subject of "masks":

The persona, for Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, was the social face the individual presented to the world—"a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual".

One wonders what Jung would have thought about the masks created by these veterans (see link below) as their intent in creating them was to reveal, rather than to conceal, aspects of their true nature as individuals.
