What We See of the World is shaped by how we See Our Self.

lost time
Unnatural events
A uniquely contemporary artificial communication creation expanding the concept contained in a controlled craft of claimed ownership.
Competing corporate constructs capabilities of selling a sense of discovery,
having shared a sense of being there, on a fantastic journey to another place,
a combination of amusement and amazement , psychic stimulants,promise of personal possession.
A different vantage point, arrived at with a distributed map of privileged experience, a guided story, mythic journey,dream memory employing recording and editing technology to empower popular products for people.............the specially informed.

Perhaps this is the place,
to push the parameters of a perceptive priestly peering practice participation perspective platform .
I don't know how I appear to others who gather for Holiday Ritual.
I am not always together,prepared or appreciative of group gathering,
I find it challenging to play with directing and assisting the excited spirits of others.
My obvious sense of mission is in performing a Ritual of Sacrifice.
To Thank The Thirsty Spirits Season.
hoping to please .... kind
wanting to help .... caring
sharing to keep .... giving
by acknowledging the invisible Audience watching us, or Me anyway,
or so it seems, perhaps my own reflection, or the reflections of others .
Energy of Attention ,confluence of feeling and thought,
Seasonal lure that attracts Me to look into the deep inner workings contained in exhibits and presentations.
Prone to take the bait.
Reverence of respecting relationships between what has been and what has yet to be.
It is wrong to put words in others mouths.
Wrong to misrepresent.
Wrong to spread lies.
Wrong to take by force, or force to accept.
SPIRITS are FREE ~ TRUTH is Knowledge
Awareness of the appetite of Spirits that see and savor the sweat and effort made in honest gifts freely given.
simple breath and action, thought and gesture, life ritual of sustenance- chosen effort.
My service to sacrifice and season, the regular refreshing educational event reminder.
My Art is to get out of the way....... of the message, and the medium.
My place, pointing to portal.
The formula of ritual mostly the same ,the application method differing from expectations of precise formality or of spontaneous madness. no need to fill roles, or play parts.creative directive pressure is taken off the task and strain of coordinating complex on the spot, awkward or uncomfortable circumstance in an effort to engage and be inclusive socially .
Allowing people to observe at a comfortable distance is more important than promising a sacred opportunity at group event.
Offering hope of a turn for people to try out for, to take part in ritual occasions is a possibility,
but not a necessity, or standard .
It can easily distort the window-bust down the gate-blow out the seams.
group beliefs, popular feeding behaviors. forgetting what an occasion is really about.
I present it this way, to interpret- accept - reject - ignore.
The success of ritual is not judged by performances of people,
the collected work and bundled special talents of the gathered group,
or the groups perceived experience of how things felt,
or what brings them back,
but that of acceptance of spirit allies on the other end of the fire and well.
