Beyond the Gods is
silence 6/6/97 - 4:06am
...people have worshipped gods. but from ancient times to the present, the
tradition of Tao has taught us to look beyond the gods. what is beyond
the gods? A wise person once said: Beyond the Gods is silence.
...the remark itself shows the way. the state beyond the gods may well be
silence, but cant we have silence right now? no, lets not worry about
spirituality and the classics and all the rituals and great methods. lets
stop talking--oh, that is already a big accomplishment!--and lets stop
thinking--tough, but a good challenge--and lets just try to be very quiet
just for a second. than two seconds. then a minute, longer and longer.
- Deng Ming-Dao Everyday Tao
what is art? art... that one looks at anyways.. is silent.. still.. and
will always remain so. so art transcends human boundaries, and even goes
beyond the boundaries of godhood... possibly seem a little more
important now?
Divine Secrecy secret.jpg
6/6/97 4:27am
Mi. Secret, private. divine. the left side is the sign for spiritual
influence. the right side shows a weapon hidden beneath the two halves
of a robe. what is most precious is always kept secret.
there was a man who had seen divinity. he wrote down his experience
carefully, and then sewed the papers into the lining of his coat. it was
not until he died that someone noticed the odd bulge in the lining and
people discovered his talisman.
do you think this man ever had doubts about what he had experienced?
and isnt it significant that he understood that it had to be kept private
the true sage has no doubts about revelations and needs no one else to
confirm it.
- Deng Ming-Dao Everyday Tao
look deep within yourself, for the divine.... yr worst nightmares, all
yr wonderful secrets and dreams, yr unconscious mind.. this is the divine
and what will happen when you divulge yr innermost secrets? dejection..
institutions... medications... fear... never doubt what you feel because
it is yr own reality. and no one can take that from you.
all my possessions clock.jpg
for a moment of
time 6/6/97 - 3:26pm
all my posessions for a moment of time...
Queen Elizabeth 1, with her dying breath.
whatcha doing? nothing squander away all our precious time until the
final realization that its all we have and at that point.. theres
nothing that can be done about it. the one thing that i truely own, i
waste with amazing inefficiency.
life loves a winner looks.jpg
do you look good
enough? 6/6/97 - 10:36am
life loves a winner join the losers and the sinners in the underbelly down
pretty little people throw up to stay thin.... the woman is led by the
crap shes fed, convinced by the mirror that her figures gettin bigger..
celebrate your beauty... the grass is greener on the other side..
and if your life aint good enough, and if you dont look good enough, the
fat man will be your master, shed no tears to his laughter.
where are you going?
out
no yr not, not with those pants
huh?
theyre full of holes... change them..
where? what this little thing?
yes that.. i cant have you going out looking like a ragamuffin
why? im not going out with you, or near you, no one knows i belong to
you, how exactly is this going to reflect badly on you?
it doesnt matter, go change them now!!
heart atrophy love.jpg
6/6/97 - 8:48am
i cant afford to trust you, when i cant even trust myself, stealing things
from my friends, im about to fall about. lonely and dejected in my
kitchen surronded by all of my broken and useless appliances i think that
its about time that i got rid of my broken and useless things and maybe
youll be the one who pulls me out of this grime so i should take my heart
off of its dusty shelf havent seen it in so long doesnt seem the same
shrug it off and put it back guess it wont be needed this time lonely and
dejected in my kitched surrounded by all of my broken and useless
appliances i think that its about time that i got rid of my broken and
useless heart.

love... another emotion that atrophied a long time ago, along with hope,
trust, happiness.. fulfillment.. motivation, esteem, pride.. leaving me
with.. well... nothing, nothing but self-hatred and loneliness, misery,
depression and bitterness.. 6 horsemen of my apocalypse
Well.. im not sure what this art packs theme was, just random thoughts...
two morality plays, commentaries on society and my life....... whatever....
hopefully, the next pack, which will be out before the end of the week,
considering the current state im in badneed outlet.. better to create
with my computer rather than cut with my knife.
