It lies within the nature of a goddess to hold a gift for mankind. The Metropolis Robot is clear in its message: It confronts man with the task to realize what he really wants. Thus it prompts him to make a fundamental choice: igniting the divine spark of freedom within himself, or to lead a robot-like life in slavery and dependence. The Metropolis Robot means to help in making the decision by its outer cold, silvery-black, and dead machine costume clearly displaying the consequences. It may possibly wear this for the same purpose the black goddess Kali wears her wreath of skulls: a warning sign, so as not to choose the programming of the machine-like – for this means bondage and death, but rather the inner vastness of the unknown, bearing endless freedom. Its gentle, androgynous femininity can encourage seeing through the disguise of the rigid machine costume, and finding the conscious emptiness inside that offers man a free projection screen for all his thoughts and wishes. If, however, in this moment, man will not cling to his desires and imaginations and follow this emptiness to the ultimate depths, he can discover this within himself. Now, man will embrace the gift of the goddess to experience perfect freedom, the revelation of the divine love itself.
