Awaking Cybernetic Mind
Shamanic Animal Synesthesia Gliding Chimes Awaking Cybernetic Mind Fusion Drives Illusion to Erosion tune into plants and animals more deeply than to humans feels this way In nature I feel fused with all life earth air fire water I am her daughter mother earth father sky sister moon tunes blowing my glass heart hear aRt heart
Animals sense the emotional vibe of humans plants and animals don't get human psychology. Animals and plants pick up on emotions from humans plants and animals have THEIR OWN psychology perhaps humans would be wiser to TUNE into that

experiencing everything at once no need to distinguish highest spiritual experience feel, see, hear, taste, and smell simultaneously without conscious differentiation synesthesia no conscious narration about it being synesthesia. No distinction. Only whole experience. learning to draw distinctions make indications enable us to say I smell love I hear hope the song is dancing shapes swirling spiral patterns lighting 1000 lanterns each sound has texture rough smooth shiny matte gritty soft velvet metal shaman's transition to ecstasy brought about synesthesia today more involved than passive experience ecstatic shaman performs sound, movement made reference to vision, smell taste help evoke extraordinary experiences in others both recipients and performers multi-sensory theatre nothing like the weekend workshop shamans the new age shamans are day dreaming rather than shaking wildly rhythm syncopated drumming excites the body whole (holy whole not hole!) feel more intensely valued a means of 'getting there'. shamans (an ecstatic performer) play all the senses synesthesia happens even in non-synesthetes during meditation -- a heightened state. spectator at my personal synesthetic gallery! Witnessing the color, texture of music the scent of instruments math patterns of sonic paint what is felt and seen can be expressed in sound improvising music help others wake up. change voice vibratory form, like the doctors of the Kalahari spirit lives all the colors forms, sounds, feelings, smells, tastes we get a fleeting acquaintance spirit is the whole unity of these differences simultaneously holding all these variations their relational ecology their ever morphing interactions cybernetics original science of complexity fusion drives illusion to erosion erosion guides fusion to explosion integrate the carrot capeche! Unity in diversity individuality IN community forms community- all snowflake fingerprint part ENTACT shaman not shame circling sands of synkringnicity whale song long sonic painted smelling feeling being dreaming awake |

| MA of MFA? |
[May. 13th, 2012|09:51 pm] |
i feel so unsure of my future. do i even want an MFA? i feel like i have given up my making aRt! it's bizarre? who am i? i feel lost? MA in psych mixing it with aRt? not sure if that is really me? i feel so insecure and really unsure of who i am right now. in the GREY ZONE.
maybe if i do a masters degree it will be MA in psychology where i write essays on art making as a spiritual practice, a healing art that increases awareness and connection. (MFA would be more about the aRtwork and i feel that my aRtwork is not really a "product" but a process. a healing process/spiritual practice.) |

wow. had an amazing 6 hour ritual/ceremony spiritual singing experience today with about 17 other people! will write about it after i process it some more. everyone there was very unique and yet it felt like one whole unified circle...we were taught some songs written by the leader but also we got to share poetry we wrote and sing it out in repeated patterns. my biggest healing is coming from figuring out how to be in a group and yet maintain my unique snowflake self and share my gifts in a safe space. i love people who respect and hold space for each person present in a loving way. |
