Imagine fear, feed it, be afraid of fear. Transmute a possible future into present continuous. Turn protection into threat .
Emak Bakia goes through like an exodus towards the understanding of fear as something that is part of the deepest essence of the human being and that we have been acquiring thanks to our own evolution to preserve ourselves from danger.
Emak Bakia is written as a prayer that pays attention to that fear and talks with it long enough for this dialogue to reveal the fantasy we have created and how it distorts thought until we become vulnerable for no reason and with no possibility of escape.
Emak Bakia is perceived as a litany that imagines fear and photographs it to get rid of it, taking hold of an ancient superstition of some cultures in which it was believed that photographs steal a piece of the soul. Because when we see our photographed image, outside our body, everything that affects it is revealed and we turn it into an object and that is how we can possess it.
