Chan: Take a look at another picture he did in the same year; Google images for Dali's "Poetry in America." You will see that Geopoliticus Child is a wu-chi (unmanifest karma) picture and Poetry in America a tai-chi (manifest karma - the Creation is two fold, there are two characters dancing - "egg man" by the way was referenced as well by John Lennon & it is a classic representation of Khrishna holding an egg in his hand sometimes two). It becomes clear in P of A - painted in the same year, 1943, that the emerging "new man" is the Christ born in America for a new age - the dripping blood (oil in P of A) comes from the Christ wound in the chest and there is a candle in his head indicating the "enlightened one." This is an Aquarian Creation Myth - shifting karma to the "new land" - he did this as well in "The Temptation of St. Anthony" - moved the source of "Creation" from Rome to a desert. He did a related picture called "The Second coming of Christ" where Christ is a Buddhist monk in yellow robes.
