so the end is nigh...

and what am I doing about it...?

what can one do at the end of the world...?

I'd kind of like the idea of hedonistic indulgence...

but I'm too much of a romantic wimp for orgiastic blowout...

I guess I should try and get a tv aerial and just watch and snack...

Far Out

Beyond the dark cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on air.

These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight,

For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.

so back to basics...

things are not in isolation...

yes alright I always whine on about isolation but...

well the thing is like the gun or the tv camera is in part of a chain...

so that means my marginalisation also exists within complex cultural webs etc...

so the tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor artist or writer or whatever is brought to you by their sponsors...

so this is conclusive proof (as if any were required) that the multiverse is an evil paid for conspiracy to piss me ... read more

Cannabis: The Philosopher’s Stone

The Knights Templar and Cannabis

(by Chris Bennett, Lynn Osburn, and Judy Osburn)

The alchemical information about cannabis use was reintroduced into Europe after the Dark Ages, when the Knights Templar, founded by Hugh de Payns (“of the Pagans”) around the beginning of the twelfth century, became involved in a trade of goods and knowledge with the hashish ingesting Isma’ilis. This knowledge was passed on from Eastern adepts and handed down esoterica... read more

so yeah I am continuing with the paranoia theme...

my not very original theory is that the matrix works against "me" and generally the paradox is that the mainstream infrastructure is sustained by destructive pathologies and associations etc...

what would an idiot neo do if both the matrix and zion were hostile...?

roll over and die... hahaha

about me
I am an artist from pigment to pixel and intend to make a modular multimedia installation random montage road movie that traces a path through the labyrinths of hell and explains the meaning of life and the holy grail but for now it is very slow and lonely trapped here amidst the undead in the french countryside...

First (I have sung) the vast necessity of ancient Chaos,
And Cronus, who in the boundless tracts brought forth
The Ether, and the splendid and glorious Eros of a two-fold nature,
The illustrious father of night, existing from eternity.
Whom men call Phanes, for he first appeared.
I have sung the birth of powerful Brimo (Hecate), and the unhallowed deeds
Of the earth-born (giants), who showered down from heaven
Their blood, the lamentable seed of generation, from whence sprung
The race of mortals, who inhabit the boundless earth for ever.

"Maia, supreme of Gods, Immortal Night, tell me this,
How shall I constitute the magnanimous first principles of the Immortals?"
"Surround all things with ineffable Ether, and place them
In the mid Heaven."

The Way of Orpheus,
the transmitter of heart communion,
Leads to the mystery
through the darkness
to Consciousness Itself
Crowned with Immortal Joy.
(marrero)

The Sonnets to Orpheus: XIV

Look at the flowers, so faithful to what is earthly,
to whom we lend fate from the very border of fate.
And if they are sad about how they must wither and die,
perhaps it is our vocation to be their regret.

All Things want to fly. Only we are weighed down by desire
caught in ourselves and enthralled with our heaviness.
Oh what consuming, negative teachers we are
for them, while eternal childhood fills them with grace.

If someone were to fall into intimate slumber, and slept
deeply with Things-:how easily he would come
to a different day, out of the mutual depth.

Or perhaps he would stay there; and they would blossom and praise
their newest convert, who now is like one of them,
all those silent companions in the wind of the meadows.

Gosh I should of done this a long time ago. Phil I like you a lot. I haven't forgotton you coming back here. You inspired me during a very dark time in my life with your art and words not really so long ago. Your honesty in our discussions was so real I wanted to reach all the way to France and hold hands with you.
Hugs to you !

Oh inquisitive little Frenchmen! Well what can I say? What a barrel of monkeys this guy is… such fun!!!

Phil always cheers me up no matter what…his caring and artistry are universally apparent. Yet somehow I know there’s a depth that’s hidden. A part absconded by the sweetness. Just like the swirling pictures he creates…humm…anyways, I am glad for you phil-

Don't be taken in by this guy...

Phil is an ALIEN!!!!!

Just look at him! He's all yellow, has an antenna on his head, and a TV screen on his belly!

His words and images have an insidious power to infiltrate and corrupt human minds. BEWARE!
