Michael Eneyo is an enthusiastic fearological philosopher and believer in Love (Unity). However, he also writes several books and pursues not just belief in love but makes his case philosophical (and I think theologically). He and I agree on somethings and not others.
In this latest set of images of his promotion of his fearological perspective, in contrast to my own or Desh Subba's philosophy of fearism perspective, Eneyo shows his aesthetic biased attraction to the transcendent, the heavenly, or simply what is called (with some humor on my part), an "ontology of the clouds" --he is a Sky Man a Light Man, Sun Man. He promotes the great phallic archetypal Sky God of the Rational Intellect (which I find is filled with the Mastery, Patriarchal, Western Worldview and remains of Humanism, Euro-centric Modernity and its arrogance towards the earth/the dark/the feminine, the mother, matrixial, nature, etc.). He derives his ontology of fear from that sourcing. A much longer critique could be made. But not here in this Comment. As I have said, I always appreciate his striving to understand and teach about fear. We have our differences in the formation of fearology and fearological work.
So, evidence for this aesthetic-ontological-epistemological bias (with Christian discourse components) is seen in his chosen images for his latest book cover (see Mastering the Secrets of Fear, showing a humanoid who has climbed up the Ladder (e.g., the transcendent trope) of supposed mastery and emancipation, leaving the earthly nature and material world behind--or supposedly so). So much critique has been mounted for hundreds of years against this imagery of "human nature" and its ontological privileging of itself, in a nonsustainable way ecologically and otherwise. Then his two posters (above) he chooses to share with the FM ning, they also show his heavenly transcendent bias. At least Eneyo is consistent, even if I think he is 'off the mark' from a truly holistic-integral postmodern ontology of fear (and love).
