Truth

Think! Free yourself from the prison of some-one else’s mind. Educate yourself with observation and experience, leave the biased propaganda for the weak and simple. Do not adopt the doctrines of other men as your own. Truth is three-dimensional and must be experienced in order to be fully known. A second hand account is only one-sided and subject to miss-interpretation. “Words are but finite organs of an infinite mind, they cannot cover the dimensions of what is Truth.” –Emerson.
The creativity of our life’s work, our every action and word is a product of our perspective of Truth. Our beliefs dictate how we live our lives. If our beliefs are borrowed from another man we live falsely. The light of god cannot shine thru us as long as we stand in the shadow of another. We will forever be a monotonous echo, a reflection of someone else’s beauty, until we step into the light and seek out our own salvation with fear and trembling, leaving behind our oracles, prophets, and sacred texts. We will never know Truth until our first-hand experience surpasses our second-hand knowledge.

Job Description

An artist must possess a certain leisure, a sort of detachment from the world in order to observe it from a third person point of view and creatively confess the truth, piercing thru orthodoxy and illusion. This leisure must not be construed as laziness, for the muse does not lend herself to idle hands.

Puppet Strings

The ego is a codependent entity that attaches itself to an outside source, an illusion it depends on for identity. The seductions of the market appeals to this codependent entity reducing the weak and simple to puppets with strings attached to their egos. To be free from control and manipulation, these cords have to be severed and the root in which they are anchored to must be destroyed. We will be enslaved by our false identities as long as our egos continue to exist.
