compassion, collaboration & cooperation iN transistion
IS about making the RIGHT connections.
ALL art-work is initiated as an IDEA in the MIND of the artist during
a fleeting moment of inspiration - which is then stored as a set of
connections in the memory banks of the brain of the artist - as the
catalyst to a thought process which is always striving to be additive
to the best of what IS - which then subsequently controls those parts
of the mind & body which create the art-work - whether it be song,
music, dance, movement, animation, filming, video, drawing, painting,
glass-blowing, sculpture, writing, poetry, comic-strips, photography,
kintsukuroi or ...
THE stories which bring all of these diverse
creative activities together as an integral whole.
My own Dyslexic Head was crafted out of bronze and ceramic and has been
utilised as my on-line avatar for the entirety of my existence throughout
The artwork thus enabled - as a "reflection" of the appropriate combination of connections in the brain of the artist - which constitute the IDEA in the MIND - is then conveyed through the "conduit" of collective consciousness to the "viewer" of the art - whose own brain stores its specific set of connections - flagged with approval & excellence - IF - the positive and qualitative enhancement and evolutionary benefit of the ONE collective consciousness results.
My hand is entirely the instrument of a more distant sphere wrote Paul Klee
and Giacomo Puccini wrote ... The music of this opera was dictated to me by
GOD, I was merely instrumental in putting it on paper and communicating
it to the public.
How an Artist is Like a Tree: Paul Klee on Creativity
Ultimate INTEGRAL ART is created by the artist who - is fully cognisant of
the TAO of nature & the Great Spirit of LIFE - & is driven by the Vision of
Godhead - for the entertainment of those who would experience the art - at
whatever level of enlightenment they had attained - such that the potential
existed for the perceiver to perceive what had been perceived by the artist -
"We need a new art form that evokes our passion about becoming a new humanity that opens our collective eyes to see the invisible becoming visible. The image of a Planetary Birth experience offers us a shared vision of who we are becoming as a very young universal humanity. Birth 2012 could be our epiphany - our greatest transformational experience."
Barabara Marx Hubbard - Birth 2012 and Beyond
As Christopher Galtenberg has said elsewhere -
This is our mission as artists. Take quests.
Quest into new worlds. Show others that they exist.
Amen Michael!
Yes! We are “on the same page”, as they say. Your blog is one of the highlights of my Zaadz experience, Michael.
Thank you for your recent comment on my blog. Seems we are doing our best to explain the unexplainable: Artistic Author(it)y
Incidentally, I looked up “explain” in my handy “Word Origins” book. “Explain” is to “flatten out and make plain”. What that feels like to me is trying to
reduce multiple feeds of 'live', sensory and spherical information into
a two-dimensional, dead, gray pancake. Not very tasty ;-)
Artistic Author(it)y - INDEED
The ONLY channeling here - is which ONE the movie is broadcast on ! - but even Luis Antonio Gasparetto's perspective must be acknowledged - if we are to Transcend & INCLUDE
Hi Michael,
what a beautiful blog!
As a singer, I interpret music from other composers. .. when I release into the ” I AM what I AM as an extension of the KOSMOS” it is then, when the music flows in the most beautiful way and when the character of the piece can come out… and hopefully being able to
display, what the composer wanted.
You are right, there is something way beyond our human existence interpreting art… and
therefore.. I took it my responsibility to have a deep integral
cleaning inside myself, in order to give my best and let the music flow
through me… that's also why the spiritual work.
Which Opera is Puccini referring to in your citation? I sing a lot Puccini.. Tosca
& La Boheme are two of my most favorite operas (In terms of the
vocal parts).

It is truly an extraordinary time to be alive. We are witnessing the emergence of something historic: the rise of integral consciousness. This is our very best shot to create a more peaceful and sustainable world, to awaken from the violent slumber of humanity’s adolescence, and to align ourselves with the future of evolution in this backward corner of the Milky Way. We know that we are only barely scratching the surface in terms of the contributions integral consciousness has to make to the world—but as the integral movement continues to gain momentum around the world, we can’t help but to feel a little more optimistic than we did even just a few years ago.
Ken Wilber
I can also act in ways that I believe are compassionate to the people
right in front of me, and you might think, “Isn’t that compassion for
others?” But really, it’s compassion for myself in another form.
It’s another self-compassion method.
Imagine the pain you feel when you see someone else suffering —
the suffering you feel is real suffering, just as the other person is
suffering. Yet, most people don’t actually ease that suffering in
themselves.
So, how do you ease that suffering in yourself
when you see someone else suffering?
You reach out, empathize, make a connection, and look for a way
to reduce the other person’s suffering, and your own. If the other
person opens up, that’s great. If not, that’s OK, because you’ve
reached out and let them know that you too suffer when you see
them suffer. That’s a powerful thing.
And so your ease your own suffering, and it’s a selfish sort of
compassion. But that’s the only kind there is.

“Historical map showing the settlement
of Qing Feng Ling (bottom right corner),
which later became known as Chenjiagou.”
Located in the centre of Henan河南 province in Central China, Chenjiagou
陈家沟 is not an obvious tourist destination. It is an unremarkable rural
village like many others in China. Yet it draws thousands of visitors
throughout the year, as this village is acknowledged to be the
birthplace of Taijiquan. Often referred to simply as the “Taiji Village”,
Chenjiagou is surrounded by the four large cities of Xinxiang新乡 on
the east, Zhengzhou郑州 on the south, Luoyang洛阳 on the west
and Jiaozuo焦作 on the north. It is acknowledged as one of the most
significant martial arts locations in China, alongside the Shaolin Temple
少林寺 and the Wudang mountains武当山.
Taijiquan, one of the major branches of Chinese Martial Arts, have
been “practiced here for generations and continues to this day.”
Excerpt From: “The Essence of Taijiquan 太極之粹.epub.”

ALL THINGS INTEGRAL & the ART of INTEGRAL UNDERSTANDING are ONLY to be found within.
It is the responsibility of each and everyone of us 6.5 billion on earth today to seek that understanding
and in so doing switch into the ALL INCLUSIVE global mind-set of the NEW collective.
A NEW collective of artists - in fact - cogniscent of the purpose of INTEGRAL ART & committed -
from however small beginnings - to the process of acting as the catalyst - to enable the evolution
of HOMO SAPIENS to the next stage of the consciousness of ONE.
