Visions of the Astral Horizon: 2000 Years of Returning Atoms, 2020

 

 

I have seen the beauty of divine ethereal transcendence. This is what it looks like. 

It came to be through super-sensory, experimental, mediumistic and chance occurrences. 

It is an arcane vision of the seemingly nothing, the void, the intangible, the unseen, the nature, the universe that surrounds us. 

It migrates from place to place. It is never the same at any one given moment. 

It is in constant flux, porous, mutable and transient. It is circular and filled with never ending wonder. We can only sense its presence, yet it is a concrete level of consciousness. To embrace an awareness of the irreconcilable is the first step in realizing the inconceivable. We can only speak in abstract terms, it transcends language. 

It is a metaphysical, spiritual and authentic attempt to regain what we have lost sight of; in irony, the things we have never seen or experienced but are vital to who we are. The innate desire to break free from the eternal cycle of elemental life. 

It has no objective reality, everything in our existence is based on what we subjectively choose to experience and create. 

It is the beauty and lyricism we conceive of what lies beneath cognition notwithstanding...an optimistic view of the sources of our existential nihilism.
