humus ~harness = hubris ~ harvest

 Hinging on the ability to help or hurt.

Our actions or inaction are part of a larger circumstance and context beyond individual awareness.

The belief in pursuing optimization of function

Making something different 

Creating change for the better

invigorate and stimulate

clearing and cleaning  

encouraging vitality

without vanity or pride

What emerges is not exclusively imagined and intended

Elements can be over looked ignored or excluded from the composition to direct the attention

Sacrifice is a dispossession for benefit

loss of the whole of what was available to be given

Truth is

 not- a wish to be made

 not- a promise to be delivered

not - give them what they want 

Idyllic fantasy is not a balanced expectation of what is and has been.

no way to project outcome

no way to enhance growth potential 

no way to be honest

 Trust  that action and meaning are not perfect.

Appreciating  things that are exceptionally gifted or giving is natural to life.

simplifying ritual relationship to contract singularity with judgment of good and bad is a human thing.

exaggerating dominating uniformity hierarchy importance ability as superior to others is a human thing.

standards morals punishments religion history law science fiction  medicine art communication are human  things.

banishing variables for security

appealing to our collective self importance

what we must do to survive

growing out of the nutritious now below the surface of our being

bound to a purpose and pursuit of effort and struggle not completely of our own making or desire

fed by life before us

food for life beyond us

our dream is not ours alone

humility ~ humanity

inner world of everything

 An inner dimension exists in the outer surroundings.

There is a agenda outside of our own.

Trying to fit in and go with the flow are not unique survival strategies to anything at any time.

Everything living and non living participates in an action drama of temporal change.

Every thing participates and has participated in a degree of change in their environment.

Inspiration respiration expiration    who's breath are we breathing ?

Souls systems sanctuaries    impressions expressions dimensions.

The problem is not about human nature and the end of the world 

The problem is about global private ownership and how the commodification of  surroundings - extracting resources converts natural life wealth into a modern human monetary symbol in the form of a number.

People are not culturally indoctrinated they are commercially exploited.

trusting the rules.

Where an organic cycle of life and death has been supplanted with buying and selling,  

the nature of existence has been altered for the participants.

Information its distribution and access are sponsored and glamorized.

Independent observational reason is atrophied, contemplative thought and review are differed to professionals.

 My Wife showed me the post on her phone this winter.

His Daughter said he died after a twenty year struggle with  disease.

I have wondered, think I saw him last a quarter of a century from now, spoke to him last some time before.

My Wife got to meet his Wife on our Honeymoon  tour when she collected a  vendor fee from us at the

Big festival on His Land.

The last Summer of nineteen ninety nine.

My Father had hoped to reconnect with him and see how his place had grown since We were there on a stop over on tour with Sunshine Artists back when Skylab was still in orbit and Star Wars had premiered.

I had forgotten, think I had been working on the Nematon for a couple years, having met him maybe the year before.

My Wife and one year old Son were with Me the last time I was on his land, at the Nematon, I don't remember seeing him around.

The first ordination of two thousand and two.

My Father died that fall.

The Nematon developed from a workshop I gave at a festival about the temple without a roof-sacred grove- fixed place of sacrifice.

The Point of the space is appreciating and promoting beneficial relationships.

Central to this concept is the cosmic axis connectivity- mutuality-recipricosity.

Observations over time .....

 that which is freely offered of themselves with a true heart is received and replied to.

Around this sacred function the place is supposed to accumulate that intention, reflecting the desire and responding to the special attention it receives. 

The cult of place is more than a peoples special designation of separate locale,

 accommodating human design.

space has lives of it's own., it's own feelings, it's own children.

The place was dedicated to the earth mother and the worship of our many kindred spirits.

It was not conceived  by myself  as a monument to a religious organization

 or a feature of a rentable festival campsite by the owner,

or the playground of event organizers,

 or a location I was prepared to curate,

 establish and maintain in a distant market driven competitive performance opportunity. 

something slips in the sincerity of sacrifice when attendance and audience shift to spectator tourism.

traffic and expansion combined with convenience and participation strain the voluntary support structure needed to maintain and train the growing project of sharing the experience of place.

Lucky for me to have had the times to display my arts with people and place!

Love  to those born from such coming together!

Thanks for accepting my sacrifice!

My double decker sacred pole taken out of the Nematon and down to the field .

My sacred inside carried out broken and burnt multi dimensional transformation.

A ritual getting out of the middle for me at the time. 

natural only is it ?

 It is a uncommon collection of coincidences crossing over back and forth between times and lives.

Everything born from something else.

Everything part of a family.

Everything more detailed and complex upon closer examination.

Truth is not a quality that the observer gives to something.

Truth  exists outside of the observations or awareness of individuals or communities.

Truth is not an idealization.

It is not about correctness or perfection.

It is not bound to judgement and aesthetic.

It is not in choosing or understanding.

It is a uncommon collection of coincidences crossing over back and forth between times and lives.

it is only natural

it is only natural

People will always behave like people

Religion, Science , Art, Politics, are all human cultural constructs of language, they may relate to non human subjects, but are shared human perceptions linked with human thought and spirit.

People teach other people to communicate.

Much of the training of the individual mind involves submission to dominant dualistic dichotomy, accepting a socially expressed- yes or no- right or wrong -us or them.

Understanding is limited to the structure and order prescribed and how strictly it is followed.

As conditioned beings we are domesticated creatures that still have the wild ability to sense invisible companions.

Things that get us though the hard times that are part of the Life Experience.

Lingering essences and persistent identities,

 dormant and emergent,

 cycle in and out of awareness.

Unrecognized immaterial actors with personhood beyond the subject and object relationship of words.

Feelings and associations that do not originate from an individual in time and space,

 but exist on their own for their own reason as part of  a greater fabric of locality.

Balance and perspective are found and profound interrelationships with inside and outside.

An existing dialogue between worlds that we are taking part in regardless of our silence or ignorance.

momentary mutuality message mimicry

 I believe there is an underlying ability and desire " to make friends" and find compatibility with others as part of the basic function of living and learning spirits of this Earth.

migratory metamorphosis mix and match

love language is not about genetic information exchange or erotic literature

love language is the shared attraction of organic companionship

bonding appreciation affection

a predisposition for complex social interaction in the interior and exterior worlds of bodies.

synchronization between and amongst components of a larger adjustment and adaptation to the changing surroundings triggered by certain conditions of time and space..... a feeling

a feeling with meaning, relating to something outside of the self that shares circumstance in common.

showing care and consideration to the benefit of others without direct reason is part of the natural way.

The maturing process is one of accumulated growth habit that nature has given all of us mortal beings.

 generational change with ancestral momentum symbiotic silk of interconnectivity.... a taste

a taste of our own ,aesthetic compatibility complicated and diverse is the driving force in the lives of all breathing, moving, reproducing things.

the vigor displayed in  rapid new growth is an anticipation of opportunity based on an old plan, an older memory, an older reason than the new growth is aware of.

fertility is a function of the space it is drawn from.

That is Me in the picture,

 next to the" Brain" prop,

 I had been working on,

 for  the M tv game show, "Idiot Savants "in nineteen  ninety six,

 on the shop floor at Acadia Scenic, in Jersey City across the street from the studio,

 I was clandestinely living out of -  one eleven  first street.
 

I had no idea at the time, what is on my mind now

My perception of self

My sense of identity

My memories

My thoughts

My imagination

My behavior

My choices

My control

My brain

It is all in your head

The organ of  bodily hierarchy as advanced with human exceptionalism,

 the thinking champion dominating the individuals sense of  agency , self organization ,mastery

Our ability to respond and react to our living environment is governed by intelligence and judgment ,

located in tissue of flesh within the skull. the origin of self centered ego, seat of  possession

   authority autonomy anatomy

pathways of experience and association 

 layered meaning branching structure

internal relationships formed and folded with external perceptions

attention intention antenna idea awareness on the end of our neck

floating between our ears, hiding behind our eyes.

directionally designed with top and bottom, front and back

receiver and projector simultaneous signaling sensitivity anticipation generating

reality as conception, understanding ,belief.

The illusion of our original possession, ownership, control of self is a inner freedom of thought.

Private and personal are biological and cultural adaptations merged in deep conditioned existence.

The Brain is the easiest organ to manipulate.

It functions as interpreter of surroundings, with a built in mission to try to fit in, and explore.

That is to say,

 territory, habitat, range

acclimation    =      acceptance

responding to the many changes in the living environment is the key to  survival.

recognizing regulars and newcomers to place, spotting interrelationship similarities and differences in group and individual seasonal dynamics among the various beings with their independent nervous systems responding....

are they aware of my presence?

what do they think of me?

what do they think of my work?

accept my sacrifice!

the gift of brain to brain communication is  an acknowledgement of understanding .

an organic polarity exists between the positive comfort engage in friend making, mind melding, appreciative interaction. safe and relaxed.

and the negative reaction of  one feeling threatened, rejecting advances and restrictions of other brains in the neighborhood, a level of competition and hostility that is encouraged as entertainment industry and real estate that is the social mega-brain of human economics.

the escape, exit strategy is half of the basic dichotomy of response of the foundational brain in the waking working hours.

What the brain does when we are sleeping is it's own business.

challenging our ability to own or take credit for control of the brain experience and it's bonding with,

or rejecting the perceived situational engagements, rewards and pursuits of a singular bodily organ executive manager and accounting for what " it" does with " it's" time off.

People have exaggerated the emphasis of presentation of identity and idea. 

ownership and personhood growing out of the eating end of our spine.

The brain is not in charge, it is in front and center, yet backstage.

encompassing a reflex of interaction and accumulating knowledge of the mutual benefit potential inherent in space itself.
