飢餓 [Kiga] (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798397706650)

飢餓 (Kiga) is a collection of writings which detail the beliefs, practices, and accounts of an obscure religious organization, the Cosmic Order of Kiga. The religion in question, whose obscure origins appear to be rooted in the Kyoto Prefecture of Japan, is notable for its worship of the archetypal deification of hunger, envisioned as a cosmic worm whose influence is at the root of all yearnings and cravings experienced throughout the universe.

Throughout these writings, which appear rooted in antiquity and which have undergone numerous revisions and additions through time, the living testament of an ancient tradition is revealed. The implications of the practices and ideas described in these writings are profound with regard to such concepts as the psychoanalytic libidinal and death drives, the pervasive influence of unconscious archetypes, the intersection of human cognition with quantum mechanics, and the nature of templexity.

From the afterword:

"To those who choose this path, I offer a warning: Once you embark on this journey, there is no turning back. The Cosmic Order of Kiga will forever change you, remolding your very essence in the fires of its insatiable hunger. It is a path of endless craving, of unbridled desire, and the depths of its mysteries are as unfathomable as the cosmos itself."
