OINTER IEW® PVOL. 68, NO. 17 SERVING THE COMMUNITY VOF WEST POINT, THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY MAY 5, 2011 Savoring the historic moment The Corps of Cadets (above) conducted an impromptu gathering at West Point Sunday following the announcement by President Barack Obama confirming the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Chants of “USA, USA” and the singing of the national anthem were followed by a gathering in front of the quarters of Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr. (left), who, while telling the cadets how he admired their spirit, took a few moments to put the reports in context. He said, "We should be gathering tonight not to celebrate the death of someone, but to celebrate the lives of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines." The rest of his remarks were interspersed with cheers, outbreaks of enthusiasm and more chants of “USA, USA.” A video of the gathering can be seen at www.youtube. com/watch?v=23BHioBHD4Y.

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

Much of this criticism has focused on horror texts and other texts that depict supernatural monsters. However, the way that monster theory explores the connection between specific cultures and their monsters illuminates not only our understanding of horror texts, but also our understanding of any significant cultural artwork.
