Artistic vision goes hand-in-hand with awareness. Making images has been a major tool for my understanding of self, selves, and Self. Current currents of thought, energy and exploration are reflected in both the content and qualities of my work.
Nearly every day, I like to walk around my backyard, slowly, taking one careful step after another, highly aware of where my foot will land and the degree of vibrations, knowing that the slightest molecule out of place will alert any insect basking on a leaf to my presence, and they will flit away.
He is particularly known for his commentaries on the nature of individualism, citizenship and the public good; the failures of managerially/technocratically led societies; the confusion between leadership and managerialism; military strategy, in particular irregular warfare; the role of freedom of speech and culture; and his critique of contemporary economic arguments
“The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.” ~Herbert Marcuse
This poem I wrote sums up my philosophy of perspective:
Universal Prayer: Oneness To All
This is not prayer seeking divine forgiveness

This is prayer of Connection
“He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.” ~Victor Hugo
NINETY MINUTES of culture jamming, reality hacking, media sandwiching, meme splicing, trance-inducing, mindf-ck sonic & visual ravings on modern life, science, tech, art, relationship, spirituality, culture, mind, psychology and philosophy.

“I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know his thoughts. The rest are details.” (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 2000 p.202)
Accustomization is the killer of the self-willing being, for accustomization has trained the human mind to operate, function, and compute in a systematized, routed mechanism.

“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” ~Alan Alda
I don't know the answer to this question. I'm sort of sparking a bit of a philosophical debate here. I want to see what everyone thinks, so please voice your opinion. This is sort of just for fun aka I'm procrastinating doing my homework right now. (so no this blog is not random!)

Julius smoked another bowl of weed inside his walk in closet, which he named the ‘thinking box’, staring out his window. He tried to shut down his inner dialogue to soak in the light of the sun, the wind from the skies, the moistness in the air, the energy of life. He then receives a text message from his girlfriend; HEY BABE. WHATCHA DOIN? Julius replied; JUST LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW.
(I don't claim to know much about any of the religions I bring up in this article, especially shamanism, I would just like to share my current understanding and odd connections I have found, with the little knowledge I do have)
So - here's an attempt at a beginning conversation to set a framework....
