Transmission #26: The Revolutionary Rave War
YES HELLO, Reader!!!Blessings to you and yours on yet another auspicious Friday. TIME is such an elusive and mystifying mistress. I have been alive for 2,043 weeks and every week the TIME passes differently. Some weeks feel like aeonic eternities and others zip by like runaway ghost trains on fire. Oh, relativity, how you taunt me so. Today is Good Friday, during which Christians & Catholics celebrate the crucifixion ov their Lord, Jesus Christ. Death cults are so cool. Did you know that some Christian sects celebrate Good Friday by baking and eating hot cross buns? The buns are thought to be immortal, meaning they will not go stale or moldy if left uneaten. Today in the Philippines many people are partaking in bloody self-crucifixion rituals. In the Caribbean, Christians are avoiding swimming in the ocean after 3pm because lore has it that you will magically morph into a fish if you do so. In Ireland, Christians are heading out to collect the first eggs laid by black hens in order to mark them with soot crosses to be eaten on Easter Sunday as a method to prevent illness. Religious traditions, rituals, rites, superstitions and folklores are fascinating. Humans are a very special species. We do so many strange things in the name ov GOD. What's the weirdest thing you've ever done in the name ov GOD? I have a confession. This past week I spooked myself and fell into a familiar trap ov my own making. It ALL started when I came across a term that I was not familiar with-- "Mahadasha." My wonder led me to a Vedic Astrology calculator through which I learned that only last month I began my 19 y-era long journey into an astrological phase ov my life ruled by Saturn-- The Great Disciplinarian. As I read about ALL the likely challenges, set backs, and failures regarding my finances, health, goals, and general well-being, I spiraled into doom about a future that does not yet exist. I spent an entire day glued to my couch dreading the next two decades ov my LIFE, attempting to distract myself with conspiracy theory podcasts and scientific lectures about the "TIME problem." I allowed a horoscope to derail my whole world. I momentarily mentally gave up on my DREAMS, thinking that the 19 y-era long Saturnal period that I had just stepped into would make it impossible for me to eke out any success in my creative endeavors. An entire day squandered to fear. Depression rearing his malformed face over every molehill in my mind. Thankfully, I made a quick recovery. The next morning I forced myself to sit in my Scissor Temple and start making ARTE, even though I still hadn't shaken the dread drudged up that day prior. It was only then that I remembered the Nature ov Reality that we exist in as humans, going through our Masterclass in DUALITY. Everything is a union ov equal opposites. There are curses in ALL our blessings and blessings in ALL our curses. We just need an honest heart and an open mind to identify the balance offered in ALL things and experiences. LOVE is a great teacher ov LOSS and vice versa. Abundance and scarcity go hand in hand. Saturn gives us hard work, slow progress and fantastic feats and trials. What a wonderful opportunity to practice perseverance, patience, discipline, and commitment to my goals and values. What a sacred TIME to focus on the work I am doing in the present without lusting for the "pay-offs." I am an artist. The process IS the product. Even if I need to go out and get a part-TIME or full-TIME job in order to pay the bills, I will not let the amount ov work required to stay afloat keep me from expressing myself creatively and sharing that with the world. Vicissitudes are an unavoidable part ov LIFE. It's how I react to them mentally, emotionally and physically that determines my happiness and ultimate destiny. Why be afraid ov a horoscope that says "LIFE is going to be HARD for a LONG TIME." Duh, dude, I knew that. I knew that leaving a super lucrative career in order to no longer serve poison to people and to pursue my passions was going to be HARD. The Vedic interpretation ov my natal placements only confirms something I had already prepared myself for. I have been a hard worker my entire LIFE, only this TIME I am working hard to make my own DREAMS come true, rather than working hard for someone else's bottom line. How foolish ov me to get caught up in astrological doom spirals. How easily I was distracted by my own fatalistic fantasies about a future that does not presently exist. Once again, I am my own worst enemy. Once again, I am my own greatest hero. If any ov you are wallowing in fear about a future that does not exist, just remember the rule ov opposites. We ALL have to contend with DUALITY. We ALL have the choice to be our personal villains or heroes. Be kind to yourself. Be brave. Breathe and find the blessings in your present moment. You are safe. You are valid. You are worthy. You are loved. LIFE is hard, but that is what makes it so beautiful to LIVE. Generally speaking, we are less likely to respect and value the things that come with ease. It's the blood, sweat, bravery, sacrifices, transgressions and tears that make ARTE powerful. I forgot about that for a scary 33 hours, so I am here to share my scare in hopes that I may help someone else. Anyways, I know the last 3 transmissions I sent required bit ov a TIME investment due to their sheer length. I really appreciate those ov you who not only took the TIME to read them, but also sent me loving and supportive responses. You truly validate the baring ov my soul to the world. You are the fuel in my fires. Thank you. With that said, I am going to keep this transmission succinct as to not scare off those who are intimidated by my prior lack ov brevity. Above ALL, this space was created with the mindful mission to share my visual ARTE without falling prey to the algorithmic censorship I battled on social media platforms. So, with that in mind, I am pleased to present my NEW POSTCARD SERIES. Here I imaginatively juxtaposed 21st-century London Club Kids with 18th-century depictions ov the Revolutionary War, 13th-century Italian religious iconography, 20th-century German Expressionism, autopsy pathology, Ranger Rick animal kingdom cut-ups & some select fruits and vegetables. This is a fun one. Buckle up. It's party TIME. Is it the end ov the world or just the beginning?
