Nahual Spirit is a web video project where I author / channel video missives from a Lightworker named Seth from Taos NM. Seth is a character that I have been developing since about 2008 and has had a number of incarnations, the most recent videos are at his YouTube channel Nahual Spirit.

Seth is a persona project and character study. As an author, speaking first person narratives as Seth helps to create written stories from his perspective as well. I do not script the narratives, they are 100% stream of consciousness. I find the experience of speaking as Seth to be therapeutic, in some ways Seth truly is my best self.
I was surprised by how easy it was to speak from a place of spiritual knowledge and it makes one question the role of gurus and spiritual healers. Seth is a demonstration of a false god to some degree I suppose but also says something about the idea that the kingdom of God truly is within us.
I accompany the video with my own video art which is projection mapped onto a white mannequin bust. The clips are of unreal landscapes and AI robots. My voice is pitch shifted to add a gender bending aspect to the project. I add these elements to lend a sense of surrealism to the final videos and to enhance the idea that Identity is a construct.
