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
tiny sliver of black
6 inches of whale
visibility in water terrible
got out of the boat
splashed in water
massive animal shadow
hazy sillouette
swimming to the whale 100 feet
female humpback
50 feet
50 tons
human made lines
pulling her down
by the tail
15 feet long, 4 feet wide
arm
20 crab traps disappear into the abyss
had to leave the whale
didn't want to leave her
the whale came back after being freed by humans and their knives
she gazed into their tiny human eyes with her huge grapefruit sized eye
each human diver she looked at for 30 seconds
she was trying to understand what happened.
wondering why these humans were different
than violent humans who destroy sea life
nerve cell
brain
acid test
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. |
