(Painting by Maxfield Parrish – ‘Morning, Spring’)
Sometimes I feel that Life is A Dream.
The priests say that Life is A Dream of The Gods….
Yet, I often think that My Life is My Own Dream.
If I am Dreaming My Own Life, perhaps I Am A God?

My personal observation of is that the QUACKS who call themselves “doctors of western psychological medicine” do not have ANY CLUE about the spiritual nature of human beings and life forms in general. They are so simple-minded and psychically crippled that they think the ONLY UNIVERSE is the physical universe. They actually think that YOU are a BODY and that YOUR THOUGHTS are coming from a ten pound PIECE OF MEAT called a brain! The simple truth that humans are spiritual beings, who animate the physical form of a body, has been demonstrated a hundred billion times throughout thousands to generations! When a human dies, the spiritual being departs from the body! If you aren’t aware of this phenomenon, please get yourself educated. Just GOOGLE “Reincarnation” and “Out-of-Body-Experience”. Read a few of the hundreds of books about these subjects written by people who are not “medical scientists” — the self-appointed priests of the physical universe.
Of course artists and any other normal, creative person could not possibly be “sane”! “Sanity” is agreement with “reality”, which the priests of Western medicine define as “the physical universe”. If you are in utter, unimaginative agreement with the physical universe you cannot possibly be an artist! Artists are the creators of universes.
Artists are the empathetic makers of aesthetic realities: love, passion, truth, justice, honesty and equanimity are the domain of the artist and the spiritual being. How can an artist endure existence in a universe made only of cold, brutal forces — devoid of compassion and spirit — without being “insane”? If artists are “insane”, then I am proud and privileged to be considered one of them! — Lawrence R. Spencer. 2012

* Definition of “Is-Be”:
“Because the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of “is”, and the only reason for their existence is that they decide to “be”.”

BEING WHO YOU ARE
IS AN ABILITY
TO CREATE, PERCEIVE AND
MAINTAIN A UNIVERSE
WITHIN YOURSELF.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt — October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American politician, diplomat, and activist. She was the longest-serving First Lady of the United States, holding the post from March 1933 to April 1945 during her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four terms in office.
Though widely respected in her later years, Roosevelt was a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness, particularly her stance on racial issues. She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. On a few occasions, she publicly disagreed with her husband’s policies. She launched an experimental community at Arthurdale, West Virginia, for the families of unemployed miners, later widely regarded as a failure. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees.
Following her husband’s death, Eleanor remained active in politics for the rest of her life. She served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights, and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Later she chaired the John F. Kennedy administration’s Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. By the time of her death, she was regarded as “one of the most esteemed women in the world” and “the object of almost universal respect” — Wikipedia.org
