Dominus: Anatomy Of A God Complex

by Simon Stengel

DOMINUS is a word I heard in my dream some years ago, and it described in lucid detail the vision of an impoverished suburb of Johannesburg undergoing a dramatic transformation through the advent of a reality TV show in 3 Seasons. The dream brushes on some sketchy details of my experience with this community I experienced twelve years ago, hence it explains why I was susceptible to this lucid dream, in which I become inspired to uplift the community with a reality TV funding and proceed to radically transform the lives of the people involved. In the course of the three seasons filmed by a production house, however, I become tempted to control the church from the pulpit of a pastor, with devastating consequences, and the emergence of a malevolent God-Complex. This narrative describes this lucid dream and the inevitable demise of my role as a pastor of a church I was trying to uplift. The book is essentially a Production Schedule or Religious Reality TV Manual, interspersed with some outrageous shenanigans I witnessed in a number of born-again churches throughout South Africa.
