"Awareness is only one part of consciousness.
The greater part is imagination/creation.
It needs no
factual foundation.
It needs no sanction.
Art makes realities,
worlds, universes.
In doing so, it jettisons rules.
It makes up
its own rules,
or dispenses with rules altogether."
Jon
Rappoport
"The revolt against
individualism
naturally calls artists severely to
account,
because the artist is of all men the most
individual;
those who were not have
been long forgotten."
Willa
Cather
"Every work of art is an uncommitted
crime."
Theodor Adorno

Raphael, Michelangelo,
and Leonardo da Vinci make technical breakthroughs in perspective.
"In the West the painter's and sculptor's job has

to design the perfect
trap for human immortality."
John Ralston Saul
"Dictatorships did not succeed in
frightening artists to death, nor has democracy done them in altogether,
although some observers
consider democracy to be by far the greater threat."
Saul Bellow |
"Genius has been the servant
of tyranny and art has advertised the
merits of the local cult.
Time, as it passes, separates the good art
from the bad metaphysics.
Can we learn to make this
separation, not after the event, but while it
is actually taking place?
That is the question." - Aldous
Huxley
"The brain has a strong propensity
to organize information and perception in
patterns, and music plays into
that inclination.
From an acoustical perspective,
music is an overstructured language,
which the brain invented and which the brain loves to hear." - Michael
Thaut
Art defined
herein:
human creativity
aesthetic reenactment of nature
superior
skill attained by study, practice and
observation
the conscious
production or arrangement of sounds, colors,
forms, movements, or other elements in a
manner that affects the sense of beauty in an attempt
to lift the human spirit into ascension.
Social cultures set living
patterns.
Predatory psychopaths see these patterns and take
advantage of the weaknesses of the pattern due to the cultural taboo that have
been set.
Social culture taboo was originally set through example:
tragedy - do not mimic!
Creative individuals recognize these patterns
as well but they are restricted by
moral
concerns.
Predators strive to keep minds
restricted within narrow limits of confined understanding.
Art done
with politic purpose allows direct conscious access to the individual
subconscious thus breaking the confining limits of narrow
understanding.
"Art is like chocolate to the brain. Art taps
into both sides.
Art has benefited the soul of the species since the time of
cavemen."
Gene D. Cohen

the creation of works of art.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of Life - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the
knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has
enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking
system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment
complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of
self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization
is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect
world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the
bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
All views and opinions presented on this web
site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that, through
their writings, showed the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational,
insightful and unpopular thought. All factual information presented on this web

and thought has been throughout time but has been done so in the spirit of the

clearer and relevant to the reader in the present time.
