accidents caused by the drunken use of such gadgets…

  The observation of such phenomena caused immediate concern, grief and fear in Arthur, since it all seemed to imply that the laws of the Techno-System were inevitable, and that independent of all human will, this cybernetic exoskeleton would finally find its way into his own heart in the form of an artificial pacemaker, and thus keep this weak organ in strict cybernetic functioning for the rest of his life… But it was precisely during those moments that once again suddenly emerged the SuperDragon before Arthur´s vision, and he immediately decided to attack it with audacity. However, when he decided to attack, the monster, once again, had mysteriously dispersed…

  -Hey guys! Have you seen a Dragon around here? -asked Arthur of his roommates Gregorio, Marcus and Martin quite desperately.

  Obviously, Arthur´s roommates burst into enormous laughter because of the sudden crazy question from the one they already called “Mostoles nuts”, but just then Arthur observed how the Dragon had disseminated in the most varied demons and swiftly got introduced into the moribund Temple of his roommates, Gregorio, Marcus and Martin, who as soon as they felt the sudden demoniacal irruption of the Dragon decided to turn on the T.V, the Play-Station and browse through the apps of their smartphones.

  In the Doctrine it is stated that the SuperDragon corresponds to a cosmic force that mobilizes with its power all desires, all reflective acts and all human passivity. In particular, in some Eastern traditions these chaotic and apparently irrational forces are called samsara. These mysterious forces that determine everything are however characterized by a center or “eye of the hurricane”, which is free from passion and desire. The center, as paradoxical it might seem at first, is everywhere and in this center dwells the Creator, free from the SuperDragon, riding the SuperDragon while turning around at will the cosmic wheel… It was through these indications that Arthur managed to observe at a planetary level a series of “boats” that were floating without having a definite direction upon these seas of passivity, and in each one of these “boats” was floating the different identities of Arthur. For instance, sailing was “Arthur the happy man from Facebook” and “Arthur the Cybernaut” who sailed through other domains and sometimes coincided with the first… “Arthur, Phd working for the prestigious CSIC” had already been devoured by the waves… Yet there were many more identities, all of them characterized by forms of experience that were real, and other that were purely virtual and abstract… In most cases they all navigated each one on their own in a very individualistic way and it was only “Arthur of flesh and blood” who could decide where he could actually navigate and correctly determine the way to the center where the Creator was situated, but the main problem is that “Arthur of flesh and blood” was always disturbed by the interferences of the other identifications in order to accomplish this goal.

  Due to the latter, Arthur´s first task was that of eliminating all and each of those identifications that floated upon the chaotic currents, since the SuperDragon spread and hid underneath each one of them, stimulating the fears and human indeterminations. And there was no other method for such duty than rigorously applying the imperatives that the Doctrine exposed on the screen of his Iphone.

  Another important aspect of the cosmic samsara are the phenomena that take place in it. Life and death feedback each other in all its fluxes and refluxes, and this is why life feeds upon death and death feeds upon life in all different orders of existence. Life on one hand centripetally tends to the heart of the samsara, by moving “upstream” and opposing by negative entropy the classical laws of physics, while death flows centrifugally to the periphery, obeying mechanically and entropically such laws. Ultimately death corresponds to the maximum passivity and inertia, where the elements that no longer flow towards the same center are decomposed in independent parts that are like boats that go adrift… The SuperDragon, by feeding fear, desire and passivity in men, feeds the centrifugal powers of death in all domains, not exactly because this monster is “evil” nor nothing alike, but because such phenomena constitute one of the necessary conditions for the constant regeneration of the cosmic cycles. Man, due to his fallen state with regard to the heart of samsara has succeeded in some heroic moments to ascend again to the center, achieving such deed by art and sacred forms of combat, and there were also times and cultures where technology and weaponry served to such heroic purposes. And yet this was not the case in the times Arthur had to live, since the Techno-System incentivized overall human passivity, human conformism and the domain of the Titans, which were closely in alliance to the SuperDragon.

  Arthur then understood that the SuperDragon could not be killed exclusively by making use of modern technology, since modern technology owed its own existence to the fossil powers of the SuperDragon, and at the end of the day served them. It was quite a common fact that the more men used modern technology, the more the subconscious fear of the SuperDragon was spread in all domains, as well as the need for the compensation of the Techno-System. Each irresponsible use of technology in order to temporarily calm the undesired effects of the SuperDragon caused the latter to become more and more powerful, and the secondary effects implied on countless occasions that the cure was worse than the disease. This could be easily observed on a daily basis in the hospital where Arthur was hospitalized, where most of the diseases that the patients suffered would demanded attacking the root of the problem of a deep and responsible modification of their life habits, yet most patients in most cases passively exposed themselves to the medical and pharmaceutical treatments that were already all integrated within the Techno-System, and this caused them to become more vulnerable to the powers of the SuperDragon in the middle-term, which stimulated the fact of the patient entering into the vicious circle of the samsara where the individual progressively moved away from the stable center of ease, and traveled through those of disease, becoming thus more and more dependant of the Techno-System´s assistances.

  Arthur could no longer allow more dissemination of responsibilities in his life and therefore he felt obliged to focus in the hospital´s room all his responsibilities and actions in order to be capable of concentrating in such realm the SuperDragon in its maximum expression, and then defeat it.

  It was precisely then when Arthur, assisted by the Doctrine noticed a remarkable phenomena that was taking place with his roommates. For instance, “Marcus the Grouchy” was being stimulated in his insides by a specific appendage or demon of the SuperDragon, which intensively triggered his feelings of envy and then channeled and discharged them through a T.V series that commented once and again on the morbid and corrupt aspects of a group of celebrities and politicians… During this amazing process of entertainment, the envy feelings of “Marcus the Grouchy” were released, causing in him an inner feeling of expansion and liberation. Hence, the SuperDragon was fostering the most elementary drives of “Marcus the Grouchy”, but as the latter never was capable of honestly affirming his envy feelings, the T.V set assisted him perfectly well in such calming labor, even though in no case could the T.V set actually heal his conflict, but rather calm it, like a painkiller or drug… In point of fact, the illnesses that “Marcus the Grouchy” suffered from were all linked one way or another to the fact of his existential fear towards himself and his corrosive envy feelings, which he strongly repressed in society whenever he was not watching such T.V programs… In the case of “Gregorio the Pessimist”, the latter was also being stimulated by the SuperDragon with regard to his contradictory feelings of haughtiness and inferiority, then being impelled by the monster to introduce his consciousness in many Facebook forums, in order to let go and release his mocking feelings and personal hostility towards Arthur, even though what actually pleased him deeply was to become a troll, and thus to openly expose his feelings of despisement in the digital news of politics and economics. “Martin the Pessimist” used to turn on his Play-Station, since the SuperDragon awakened in him the feelings of rancor and resentment against his biological
parents, and most videogames assisted Martin in the task of getting over the depression the best they could.

  Before such panorama, Arthur immediately become conscious of the fact that if there was a place where the SuperDragon showed intensively the power of its intrusive capacity was undoubtedly in the hospitals, where there constantly emerged the conflict between such monster and the weaknesses of the human condition, constantly causing states of disease that were then assisted by the Techno-System. All this caused Arthur to actually feel quite lucky in being forced to hunt and kill the SuperDragon in a public hospital of Madrid, since there were much more chances for the SuperDragon to emerge in such environment than in any other… And it was precisely on this battlefield between the forces of light and the forces of darkness where Arthur could in due course understand that the cybernetic exoskeleton of the Techno-System in no case was the target or enemy to attack, and that such attack would make no sense.

  In reality, by observing in that apocalyptic battlefield the phenomena that
