Dammit Roger, why the hell didn't you put more of your work into FUSE? To hell with half the others, we should have just given you a whole wall and let you loose with a set of faber castels and access to a discman.

Either that or wallpaper a space with enormous images from the streaming visions. I don't know quite what I saw, but god or no god, it did trigger something.But then, that was the intention was it not?
Also comforting to know someone else uses blood in their art. I'm not alone in my cynical artistic insanity ;) If you're not doing honours, I'll hunt you down and knee cap you.... if I can be bothered. Either way, continue with the work. It's headed for something bigger than you can forsee.
And as a side note, have you heard music by VAST? I played the first cd to the visions, along with tool, and it had completely different but an equally impacting effect. If you haven't, email me and I'll burn you a copy.... a must have.

Take care, and I may just catch you round this quaint little self contained nightmare called Adelaide.

He lit another cigarette and slowly puffed on it. Inhaling and exhaling, feeling the pain, feeling the pleasure. Like a mantra, he rhythmically took draw after draw slowly trying to form the pieces that feel apart. "What was it that was missing", he wondered.

They gave him a connection to something that he never had. He belonged. "Be patient... be paaaaatieeennnt..." The words from the song coursed in his ears. He could hear the words and identify the meanings of them in himself. He sat on the porch, waiting for the change. He had always hoped it would come that way. He wanted it to land right in his lap. But he knew it wasn't coming. The only thing that seemed to keep Kiel going was the hope of one day finding something that would love him unconditionally. Although he didn't know this in his conscious mind, he could always feel the force driving him reminding that good things come to those who wait.

did you know that the flower of life is a sufi meditation device containing the five perfect pythagorean solids....it's for people who have already been parents and workers or servants to the community...to be into this stuff without having done these other truly soul expanding activities was always seen as an abomination and a waste of time...which is life... so you got the pythagorean solid symbols in the entity.

If you do help me I will use karma shots to increase your rank, but I'm not saying I would use them against you if you don't help me, I don't want to be making enemies.

Umm, in the beginning the cycle of birth and death stuff you quoted someone isn't true due to the fact that we have mass amounts of over population with those groups taking advantage of their mass. The shit you see in the forest is just you on acid - or whatever you call the shit you were on, I believe my friends saw crap like that also. Dont do too much of that shit cause its easy to become a vegetable or dead these days. Anyway, check out my diarhea and be sober. So I heard you have some 46 and 2 ideas... lets go read it!

What everyone else said.(Apart from crudorama, something about eating curdled cheese mixed with mud, the bit about suit of turd cat and something about christian rock.... oh and the bit about having a sore tooth). Fark, according to your guest book(which I obviously just read cover to cover) you have fans in different countries from all around the world. Hey Im impressed. Anyway dude, I would've checked out your site sooner but Ive been waiting for that flyer you made up for me(on the spare of the moment) to return from a parallel dimension from which it temporarily slipped into.
I mustn't be any good at time management because I missed my deadline for the Adelaide Fringe abisomably (Im sure that not how it spelt but you get the jist anyway). I dont know how I thought Id have my artwork ready in time because I only just finished the main part last week, what am I talkin about it still isnt finnished! Hey how you goin with that 4 Dimensional Flower of Life? Let us know will ya?
Catch you at Goa!

Oh yeah.... and that bit about steering clear of using computers in our artwork. After all GOD is the Giant Mainframe networking all the parallel universes together and tapping into the entity of conciousness within each one and thus perpetualy blissin' out on the emotions of every living thing in the universe(within universes)!

Great website. I've recently become interested in the Flower of Life and in the Merkaba meditation and I'm looking forward to learning more. This may be way out of line but I would love to have your Streaming Vision animation as my screensaver. I don't mean to trivialize it; I just like it that much. Either way, take it easy and thanks for the great website.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for visiting my "Eye of God" web site and for letting me know about your intriguing site. I enjoyed the visit. I can assure that one need not use "entheogens" to meet God... I hope you found my "Eye of God" web site inspiring. You can learn a bit more about how I was made aware of the "Eye of God" that is symbolically manifested in total solar eclipses by checking out my "Revelation Is Not Sealed!" here - http://revelationisnotsealed.homestead.com

Love the art especially the DMT entry one because it reminds me of my first and only DMT experience (it was actually scarily similar). I'm also a lucid dreamer and remember at least 3 dreams a week. I realise I'm dreaming and it feels like a clear but different state of consciousness. I remember being able to willing go back from where I left off (even after going to the bath room) with several dreams when I was younger but not recently. Thing is that I've never been able to do that hand thing.

I had a "lucid" dream, but it was much more than a dream. I think it was real. Here is the story:

Note: I used the world "God" because it seems to be the most accepted usage to explain what I met. But it was much more than the common usage of the word, it was more than God alone, it was everything, you and me and every other conscious Being combined:

One warm afternoon in 1996 I took a short nap. I awoke within it to find myself standing in the presence of a huge sun or sphere of light and I quickly learned that this sun was pure consciousness and awareness. Although its surface was only swirling light and did not have a face, it seemed as if it was smiling at me and had nothing but love for me. I felt its thoughts as one with my own and felt it peering deeply into my own awareness, knowing everything about me all at once. Standing in its presence I was overcome by a deep sense of awe and at the same time I was surprised to find myself so fully conscious in this empty, but light-filled void. There was nothing in existence for me but myself and this sun smiling its awareness at me. It was unlike any place on earth, and yet as real as waking reality. In fact, it was more real; I was super-conscious. Suddenly I came to a profound awareness that this sun was God! I was so overwhelmed and surprised that God was real that I gasped and then yelled out, Youre Real! I had always had a deep mistrust of religion. Years before this experience, I had decided for many seemingly valid reasons that religion and God were only a product of the human mind, yet there I was standing in the presence of what I knew without a doubt was God. What I had previously thought to be the truth about the universe was shattered and I stood there stunned, having had my world turned around so quickly. I was happy because I had always hoped that God was real and that there was a future beyond the physical. As I stood in its presence, I perceived myself to be nothing but pure awareness and without a body. This sun of awareness fully merged with me, seeing everything inside of me. It saw everything I had ever done (and failed to do) both good and bad, and yet I did not sense or feel this Being was judging me or my past. There was no serial or motion-picture-like review of my life, just a sudden and full knowing about all things I have ever done, thought and experienced.

Because this sun of awareness/God was peering so fully and deeply into me, I felt totally naked, more naked than if I were standing without clothes in front of a million people. This Being seemed to be the consciousness of everyone I had ever known plus that of millions of others. It seemed to be everyone, but incredible as it might seem, most of all it seemed to be me. Even though I had no awareness of having a body, this feeling of nakedness was more than I could stand. Before I had time to think about what I was doing, I began moving away from this Being as fast as I could. It wasnt that I was afraid, nor that I wanted to get away from this wonderful sun of light, it was more like an automatic response to feeling more naked than I thought naked could be. As I was traveling away from this Being I found myself bursting through some kind of barrier into a blackness that was filled with wonderful stars; space. As I continued moving forward at a tremendous speed through the star fields, I soon found myself slowing down as if I was up against another barrier or membrane. It seemed to stretch slightly and then I burst through it into another blackness of star-filled space. I continued to speed away faster and faster, but regardless of how much physical distance I traveled, I was never any farther away from the sun of awareness at all. I quickly traveled through several star-filled spaces, at least six of them beyond the great sphere of light, each separated from one another by barriers that I was easily penetrating. As I passed through each layer, my speed increased each time, but its consciousness was still with me. It was still deeply within my own consciousness. All of a sudden, I fell through the top of my bedroom ceiling, hit my body with a jolt and immediately woke up. The jolt was so strong that my bed physically bounced as my body jerked awake in response to the sudden stop. I opened my eyes and immediately spoke in a low and powerful voice, "I am that great I am." I said this almost involuntarily; the words spilled out of my mouth without even thinking about what or why I was saying it. I also knew what this meant: that I was the very consciousness that I was trying to get away from!

As much as I tried to get away from that Sun of Awareness, I could never get one fraction of an inch farther away from it, no matter how far or fast I traveled. Even after waking up, it was still with me. To this day, I still feel and know its presence. I believe that this Sun/Intelligence/God wasn't a single Being, but is the center of all beings, that it is me, you and perhaps all conscious beings. From this experience I think that somewhere at the center of each of us is a spark of this same light, and without it we would not have consciousness, and perhaps without us it would not exist either. As I was flying away from this being, I had the impression that I was traveling through several layers within a sphere, but I was bursting through layers like the layers of an onion but between each layer was star-filled space. I cant really tell you if I was traveling from the inside out, or the outside in, but as I traveled through them I had an impression that the farther I got from the sphere of light, the smaller I got and the more divided I became.

Because of this experience, I came to see everyone around me as myself. At the same time, I also see this as equally true from everyone elses perspective, that I am them too. They too can look around and only see other parts of themselves, other selves experiencing life from another point of view, separated by their physical bodies and world, by their individual minds and wills, but in reality they are one at their core. These feelings and thoughts were so strong within me that I had trouble referring to other people at work as anything other than I. I had a tendency to think about others as just another part of myself. Just as I think about my hands as being a part of me, I would sometimes refer to others as I instead of the name of the person. For example, instead of saying, He had finished working on that project it came out as I had finished working on that project. I had to re-learn how to refer to others as separate from myself. After four years, I still think of others as myself, but now I can stop from verbalizing it.

If I had the chance to do it over again and stand in the presence of this brilliant happy bluish white sun-intelligence-God, I wouldn't run away from it no matter how startling it is to be seen to such depth. I now hope that I would stand in its presence no matter how naked I felt.
I don't believe that my motive for running from this sun was because I couldnt stand to face the light, or that I felt like a bad person, but because I was so unaccustomed to being seen so fully, so suddenly, so clearly and to such depth. Unfortunately my flight away from it took place before I could think of what I was doing and why.

The words I spoke after the experience, "I am that great I am" meant that, although I am individual here, I am also a part of every other consciousness at the great central point of consciousness; God. I am now secure in the knowledge that this presence of consciousness has always been with me, and that I have never been alone and never will be alone. I now know that this presence is closer to me than anything else in the universe. I had been so accustomed to it that I didnt know it was there, much like becoming used to a smell in a room, once you are there with it long enough, it begins to fade into the background. Like silence, it is always there, maybe in the background, behind and between the sounds, but always there.

I writing about the article about Lucid Dreaming. Like WOW! I used to go to bed wishing to dream a dream I was flying or something and I would always try and remember my dream. (Like a little hobbie of mine. To dream was begining to be my reason for sleep.) Well I started remembering ALL my dreams it seemed (it seemed I had to remember them right when i woke up or they would be forgotten) and one time I felt physical pain and even tasted food. That was crazy, I had to tell a few of my friends about those. Well, I'm off to practice the lucid dreaming thing. Thanks for the tip.
