Science and spirituality are tools laid out on the path to realization of time and space. The butt-end of a screwdriver may be used to nail boards together. The pry end of a hammer may be used to wind a flathead screw into the wall. Neither tool should be “believed in,” and have you considered there may be a better way to use those tools? Saying, “I believe in science” is just as willfully ignorant as saying, “I believe in God, Allah, Christ, etc.”
Hardship IS the Story
Most of us can’t even imagine what true fulfillment would look like, what it would feel like to be free from suffering, free from hardship. Even a great painting must begin with some darker shade in order to juxtapose the lighter colors. Happy songs, as well, often sound contrived, redundant, mundane. There’s no story in happiness becoming happiness. There’s no arc. The minor six must “reveal” the one major chord, must “resolve” the conflict.
The Great Delusion
The Word Is Only As Good As the Messenger
How you receive the message is entirely up to you. The messenger may be a bird who’s simply looking for a meal. The word is only as real as the way you receive it. If you look down on the bird or you look up to the holy man, you may miss the message entirely, for you too are the messenger, and the word is only as good as the messenger.
A Prophet Is Not Without Honor, Except...
…and only through the most vigilant awareness which misses not a heartbeat in dread or death, becomes a weapon more pointed and more powerful than their hate or the allowance of their hate through apathy and insipidness, awareness becomes a weapon which shreds the rank, foul intentions from their putrified mouths before ever being given the chance to become ideas, slicing their words back into the infinite pieces from which all things arise and all things return…
Hotel Print of a Daisy as Heard on TV
I paint darkness in layers of contemplative texture, shades of no thing from which all things arise. A great, mindless darkness forms the formless backdrop which takes up most of my canvases, and that which those whom live in shadows of unawareness experience as sorrow, un-stimulating, lulling sadness.
The entire purpose of painting all the darkness is to juxtapose and highlight the subject of all my paintings, that which cannot be contained in words is that towards which I’m always pointing.
Look CLOSER.

Carbon-water life has always been and will always remain on the three dimensional plane of time and space. Human beings are perfectly equipped to travel beyond the five senses, and many human beings are in regular communication with extraterrestrial beings.
The Artist & The Scholar
They’ve all touched the same place
The same source
The ground from which all arises
Viewed from varying perspectives
Different pinholes in the same red curtain
Different vantage points of the same stage play
Upstage left, downstage right, stage lights and shadows
Language must do summersaults to grasp
The ground which cannot be grasped
All five, in their attempts to describe
Their experiential view of the ground
They all become poets, artists
In our attempts to describe the perennial ground
From which All arise
We are all becoming artists
