RE: Membership Enrollment extra information about my goals

Finally, after days of working on art projects, I am informing your organization that I have paid seventy-five dollars to enroll in your services. I am so excited to have run into your insightful team. Thank you for being there and especially for aiding emerging artists.

Under my photo below is a list of tentative goals on the path to realization and global awareness. As well, I have left much information on myself below for your insight.

Let me know the process and how it goes. I look forward to working with your team in the future.

The following organization saw one of my web sites and I became nominated by their Internal Committee to participate in the next 2005 Biennale Contemporary Art Exhibition. The theme of global importance has merged with a United Nations theme called “Dialogue Among Nations.” My work parallels this lineage of intension, and I have a passion for relating to cultures through a common media. Art is a universal touchstone where even the most sublime can be encountered, if only for a moment. I wish to accept the nomination and move forward in a jest I have been tuned into for years.

Thank you and have wonder abounding in an entirety that know no bounds. I look forward to being a team member.

Comments: Delivering a visual voice in this coming 2005 Florence Contemporary Art Biennale is very meaningful to my life direction and any insight to bring on the fruition is very much appreciated. I feel that I have a lot to offer to our global village through the art and poetic medium.

Here are some personal links that may reveal even more of my works, writings and educational experience, as well some documented ventures:

Tentative Biography: I was raised as a Methodist and started… The first time I became assertive in the first grade, the third day, the act was misread and I became inhibited, secondary to a prolonged, confusing bout with the paddle. It is still somewhat hard to stand up for myself though much progress has been made. I was inspired by the Kung Fu series in the 70s so I started developing that aspect of self-discipline.

Then meditation came into my arena. My dad influenced me to expand. I started having out of the body experiences. Once, I felt an infinitely strong wind poor over me, releasing me from the clay cage and up into the air I went. That was my first flight. I have seen many masters as they greeted me through the third eye, one after another, when I was in prison for drugs at 19. I felt honored in a really big way. They were from many different cultures and times. I have had multitudes of spiritual experiences, which prompted me to explore many religious aspects. A common synergy became apparent to me as a universal thread in spiritual experiences.

At that point I became independent of religious affiliation because I came to realize that all the differences were the dangerous component, while the commonalities were largely ignored. I used drugs to try and push beyond the captive mind and had many trips in the realms of both toxic delusion and truth. I have experienced wonders beyond the experiences of man in carnal embodiment. I had at one time merged with all that is, was, and will come to be. I have seen all records of all pasts on all planets and the inventions to come, and the future abodes. I became when I lost the concept of self, yet am still of the flesh and get re-trapped in many forms of behavior that fall short.

So, how do I accept myself when I feel so free to do many unconventional things? Like I accept everyone else—to my best ability. To the degree that I do not judge myself I am set free to not judge others. Yet my ego does its deal. It is hard to escape the grasp of this human element. I have had a few near death experiences, as well, great pain and loss. When my only child died I went into deep drug induced psychosis in an insane attempt to escape. Then because I complained to a doctor about anxiety and explained a small bit about some of my “abnormal” experiences, I was forced to take major tranquilizers under a null diagnosis.

Now, 2004 has been a major year for me because I have come out from under the spell of those darn chemical lobotomies. When I stopped the bad medications, I went into withdrawal-induced psychosis, was tricked by Internet thieves and am still in near absolute poverty. But at least I can now honestly say that I can identify with what are called delusions of grandeur. Two said psychics contacted me out of the blue during that time to warn me and to open my eyes and help prepare for wonderful changes that would create all of my self-actualization goals easily. I still have a plan to patent an important invention through Davison Research and Development.

To me, it is trust in my experiences and realizations that no one can take away; it is trust in our innate divinity awaiting a fuller expression; it is trust in our common heritage, and that it is all-inclusive. We are all in the same boat, the illusion of separation will end, peace will reveal the destined harmony, prevail, and the mansions above, awaiting us, will come to fruition, all in each our own time. Great things are at hand, yet due to contagious worldliness, the endowment is largely behind the veil. I know of the wonders to be revealed for all eyes, secondary to massive invocation. I have faith that it will not get too terrible before it gets great. After all is not the twinkling of the eye enough?


Image of to Image As

IT IS
No jot or tiddle going from
Me to We
where every man is availed a common fruition.
I Cannot
not know that
our global village
is suffering from a toxic moral “void.”


: Upon Reframe:
::
Wonder Regained

Wonder regained by the fire in the night.
A dawning anointment,
Thy eye
in the light.
It is always here
the cause of the first,
Thanks be thereof and waken from thirst.
Let the dead bury their dead,
The written letter behind…
No stone left unturned,
The river that I
…….…..… Find ……………




I want to thank you each for reading this, and I would like to ask anyone for critiques. I may be too close to see what may be unclear and what may be redundant. For now, sharing in such a keynote is my unadulterated muse…the coin flips for us all, so creative and inspiring, so great and terrible. Besides, being stuck between a delusion and a hard place, I like the synaptic shock waves as they go tickling my fingertips when opening unto the spontaneous and into creation where I envision a we, united and beyond all stigma.

What can we do with this Biennale opportunity to help comfort our global village?

How do you envision what is being expressed? …The pen over the sword, the voice over the pen, the brush over the canvas…

This opportunity to voice in an artistic mode is one I wish not to avoid. What I hope to help usher in, beside many fellow agents, is the orchestration of awareness opening…as flashpoints merge into all hearts, setting multitudes free, free to be the person we came here to be.

To conclude: Plans for 2005, start with becoming an active member of Fractured Atlas in New York. Then I would like to propose through them response to an ad opportunity in Artist Spectrum Magazine. I have the option to acquire centerfold, single page or half page to capture corporate interest and let potential collectors know who I am. Using that I would like to advertise self for the upcoming Biennale in Florence this December 2005; then followed by a hard copy art show using twenty-five originals to sell in one of New York’s Agora Galleries. An art collector’s base may not be difficult to come by through this chronological process. I can compliment the art contexts by writing from my vivid subjective experiences. They often started in the depths of despair, and end in the ever-present here and now. I have written many iconographies and poems already.

Enmeshment reflections of gone
and by the way…I let the go to lay and rest.
I face a new path, ever-new…known as now yet never “there.”
For what can there be apart from the midst, from the center of the garden
I speak…as memory fades
into Remembrance
