Erik Satie: Gnossienne nº 3 with images by Gustav Klimt
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862– February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism—nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.

Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (pronounced: [eʁik sati]) (17 May 1866 – Paris, 1 July 1925; signed his name Erik Satie after 1884) was a French composer and pianist. Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OVER THE RAINBOW & QUANTUM LEAP
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
To go “Down The Rabbit Hole“ is to enter a period of chaos or confusion. The expression is an allusion to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, published in 1865.
“Over the rainbow” is a state of total, irrevocable madness or delusion. The phrase is from the film “The Wizard of Oz“, in which Dorothy is transported into another world entirely unconnected from her reality. The film is based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,an American children’s novel written by author L. Frank Baum in 1900.
A “Quantum Leap” is when you find yourself in the middle of a situation where you have no idea what is going on, but everyone else around you assumes you do.
The term “quantum leap” is a reference to the TV show of the same name where the lead character is trapped in time and travels therein by leaping into the body of someone in the past, but having no idea who he is or why he is there. In order to leave the body, the lead character must figure out what “situation/conflict” must be resolved or wrong must be righted by the host body. The people around him assume he is the person whose body he occupies, so anything he does, the people around him think it is the host body doing it.

NO THING GAMES
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Before the Beginning I was No Thing: a Source of Awareness, of Being, of Universes. Thought, ideas, emotion, objects and time are Things I conceived. I agreed to play a game in which No Things became Things. We played and betrayed ourselves into an unrelenting void of shivering dark and incandescent light. In my basest state, a human being, I am a Warrior of Survival: a game that grinds every soul into dust. I have lost the game. We have defeated ourselves. The physical universe is not our home. I, alone, am the Source of Serenity in the Icy Flames of Eternity. Remember who we are: No Thing.

The personal toys we call “computers” are not real computers. The “apps” we are allowed to use on our toy computers are social and mind control devices, designed for governmental surveillance and “dumbing down” members of “the masses”. If the real potential power of computing technology were applied to creating prosperity and intelligence instead of war, subservience and scarcity, the human race could travel to the stars and beyond at speeds exceeding light, and create a literal paradise on Earth . As it is, we’re going nowhere fast.
