I’ve been hoping he would touch on the subject of Lyme disease, as well.

So true. Most of the big time artists(as well as small timers) are total narcissists.

Jon, if you want to better understand all the craziness in the world, including the rage we see, please investigate Lyme Disease, it’s link to Monsanto crap and chlorine/fluorine/radiation/EMF pollution. And if you have already, let me know where to find your thoughts!

Symmetry can be so comforting and seductive—and deceptive.
You might like Jaron Lanier’s book “You Are Not A Gadget” which describes how computers and software create us after they are created.

great article and comments
some artists ascribe their inspiration to nature, many artists don’t notice when they themselves are creative, but some who look to nature for their muse are also themselves channels for creative energy, sometimes, and sometimes they are aware of this action, imagery, direction and yes, desire, coming out of the place beyond the veil of consciousness. Just to clear that up. Where i live, powerful rivers bust logs up into chips and chunks, abrade them into exquiste shapes and spit themout to sea, then they turn up on the beaches. Without such gems to keep me steady, if i had to live in a city, i know my work would be much harder, and poorer, and my working life as an inspired artist would be short. The fascists will get what they want when the Earth is just a little more urban.

The foundation of this desire for symmetry and pattern is FEAR. Absolute fear of the unknown, the unpredictable. It’s mankind’s oldest fear actually. Stemming back from the times we all gathered around our campfire’s in order to hide from the darkness outside the field of light. What was happening in the darkness behind us? What creatures there lurked to be pondered and battled? Nevermind. Just look at the fire flickering before your eyes and turn your back to the darkness.
It’s that same fear which now drives some to want to create a world where they don’t have to wonder what will happen anymore. They want to KNOW WITH CERTAINTY what WILL occur. But with all of their predictive models they just can’t. Life refutes their efforts gleefully.
What they don’t realize is that in their efforts to banish the unpredictable, the unknown, they are banishing the soul of man.
Mystery is the seat of wonder. And wonder is the birthplace of desire.
If that isn’t mankind I don’t know what is.

The more Authority tightens its grip, the more people will slip through its cracks and expose the Truth. Namaste to All.

The gaps are spreading. Individual Autonomous Intuition, manifesting a facet of itself here, for example – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnJCvKA-oEU – Incredible woman.
Once recognised in oneself, very hard to quieten and extremely easy to spot in like-minded ‘deviants’. Very exciting.

Those true creative radicals aren’t going to come from the big time art world as it stands. It has become it’s own restrictive box, look to the outsiders, the art world rejects.
