Thank you for this. I believe art is the lifeblood of revolution and it has the power to completely transform the course and condition of humanity. I also see the challenges you’ve highlighted here. The oppositional forces know this very well- how powerful art is. Idk where we go from here (other than forward) - and do our best to make sure we’re not muted by the machine - and always pivot before reaching critical mass if we want it to last. I read a Taoist meditation a few months ago that began with “if you want to destroy something, bring it to its extreme” and it resonates very well with what you’ve shared here. Thank you.
Very thoughtful comment, @Tesstamona and good insight about bringing something to the extreme to destroy it (paraphrasing). Along those lines creativity is amazing, as you can fucking ruthlessly attack the hell out of it until you can’t burn anymore, and it always gives you something wonderful, meaningful, and real in return … and it never harms anyone. I love that.
I am about to read this. I was sitting here looking at you, looking at me and listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFi-pxsKWzE. I keep doing things and coming back to this page. I shall read now, but I just wanted to say, you are so beautiful, honey :)
"I saw the Twin Towers as an artistic ode to human benevolence and unlimited optimism, a symbol of reaching for the sky. Still more shocking on another level was my realization that their destruction was the most dramatic postmodern anti-art project ever executed."
Whoa, I never thought of it like that.
"Postmodernism is a Trojan horse." Yes, yes, yes. *runs stick along bars.......bangs on things. *ding ding ding!
"Then and there, I made up my mind to use all my love for art, my works, my knowledge of perception, and art history to make the art world a better place. Renaissances do happen, why couldn’t one happen within in my lifetime? Art and aesthetics do matter and they play huge roles in history, culture, and, hopefully, to you"
How exciting to take that on. Renaissances DO happen. I love this line of thinking. I love that you have taken that on and I have the joy of interacting with you.
" I urge readers to challenge postmodernist aesthetics, support meaningful artistic expressions, and strive to create new symbols of cultural evolution. I underscore the urgent need to safeguard civilization's meaningful art against the corrosive forces of postmodernism." Bravo, bravo, bravo!
" Radically, some of today's artists are creating new depths and insights into the meaning of heroism. Using examples of these artists and contrasting them with some historic examples, I will show you how they are advancing the heroic theme through depictions of individuality, self-awareness, and the drive towards enlightened fulfillment."
This is so exciting to read about because I love your purpose and I know that you know what you are talking about!
" I aim to shed light on its corrosive effects and explore the deeper motives driving its proponents." DUN DUN DUN..... YES!
"CIA was actively promoting it through covert funding and embedded agents in media outlets and museums. The whole thing was a massive PsyOp—a psychological operation to disenfranchise the human spirit. A stupid and confused public is no threat to fascistic manipulations." MAN OH LIVE.
This is captivating to read from your point of view. I mean, I knew this, but to hear it from you is just so
soothing to me in a way. Yes, that explains the ugliness. They want to "disenfranchise the human spirit."
We will not have it!
"Some months later, in our correspondence, I mentioned that I wanted to do a book called The Art of Form, Light, and Space. They replied that they had been thinking of doing a book called The Science of Form, Light, and Space. It was such a special feeling, being on almost identical wavelengths. I had never felt that way in a scientific context, but it really felt like sharing love." Wow!
Thank you Amy, @What IS a name, really? , I got shivers, it feels like those vision scientists, on the same wave length. Funny, I was just out shopping, and I was feeling elated, it was at the same time of you reading it. : ) Thank you again. <3
I was actually slightly relieved when I realized postmodernism was a psy-op. I couldn't for the life of me work out how people liked that stuff, I thought society was loosing it.
Have you read Miles Mathis on this topic? What do you think about his theory that part of the psy-op concerns money laundering? Would be really interested to hear your thoughts on the matter?
Mia, thanks for mentioning him. Yes, it is a relief in a way. Mathis is a very good realist. I read most the article you suggested, very well researched. Though looking at the titles I was a little confused by all the topics he writes about.
Yeah Mathis writes pieces about a lot of things, even science - some of his papers are great and others completely miss the mark. Appreciate you having a look.
Glad you mentioned that! But it was good suggestion to check up on. And I do recall seeing his art and essays some years ago. I got a deja vu feeling seeing them again.
The self portrait is incredible. Thank you for sharing more about the depth and breadth of your “art ambassadorship “ , I really love that you felt you had to take that on and spread the joy and beauty of craft; I would love to see an art enlightenment.
I suspect the change of direction needs to come FROM the government, after the old terrorist model has completely crashed. That's how it happened in France after Robespierre led to Napoleon, who then used up all the resources and crashed. The government itself turned into the best friend of human skills, steering technology to keep old skills alive instead of smashing every skill every day with endless rule changes and Github updates.
Michael, you were destined clearly, to become a great artist and led by perhaps, your spiritual destiny, spiritual guides, purpose for being created, and amazing talents (super powers) and interests to the right people and places throughout your life, which artistically and spiritually shaped you. There are no coincidences, dear man. The world opened the door to many extraordinary avatars, spiritually gifted and amazing creators of beauty and LOVE, to give humanity, the elemental kingdom and the Earth an opportunity to ascend to a higher frequency of being than ever in the history of humanity. This is a time when those running the world, the UN-Illuminated, the bloodline families, who run the world and so clearly and most profoundly are so impoverished spiritually and are the opposing force as a group are attempting to destroy all the things that make us creations of God, Goddess ALL THAT IS. This is why ALL who are here on Earth at this time chose to come here, I believe. We are part of "One" and without any one of us, the chances of us continuing as humans on this planet is in jeopardy. There I have said it, Ayn Rand predicted it, and many other so called "Sci Fi" writers and philosophers before us and during our life time. I know because I too have had an extraordinary life and became an "artist" in the healing field, not on a canvas or with the tools you use so brilliantly, but of beauty inside the body using the tools of the Earth to heal , the Quantum Field of energy and regeneration and transformation.

I am just smiling and smiling and shaking my head :) Haha. You're the best. That's funny that you were just feeling that way. Hmmm :)
"Postmodernism is a Trojan horse." So much in so few words.
I was actually slightly relieved when I realized postmodernism was a psy-op. I couldn't for the life of me work out how people liked that stuff, I thought society was loosing it.
Have you read Miles Mathis on this topic? What do you think about his theory that part of the psy-op concerns money laundering? Would be really interested to hear your thoughts on the matter?
In case you have read his papers on it yet, it's the 3rd from the bottom at this link - http://mileswmathis.com/bestfake.html
Ps: What you do you think of Miles' paintings?

Thank you. I can understand how returning to craft would help.
