ARTISTS ROUND-UP

There is a particular manner of communicating (an incredibly powerful one) that can be, and is, used as a two-way bridge between the coarse suppressive brutalities of life and the higher more expansive universes from where one can experience vistas of freedom, aesthetics and action never before imagined. This way of communicating can actually circumvent blind ignorance and disintegrate such lower based emotions like antagonism, anger, hate, resentment, fear, grief, despair, hopelessness and even apathy. Communicating in this manner can instantly turn a hard time into a good time and on occasion even raise the dead. In this way of communicating bridges are built upon which we travel from despair to hope and from old realities into the new and, as yet, uncharted ones. The manner of communicating that I am referring to is what we know as ART. Art is incredibly fluid throughout the entire range of human emotions and it can reach in to caress, sooth and revive even the darkest pockets of almost completely solidified emotion. With adroit execution art can instantly place you into the bowels of a particular unthinkable and painful brutality then rescue you with a single note, a lyric, a word, a touch, a taste or an image.

Art, if correctly used, is a wonderful tool to be used in the process of education. Using art one can by-pass many of the fundamental barriers to learning thus achieving rapid duplication and elevated understanding resulting in a higher order of civilization. The point is art is one hell of an effective tool but it is just a tool. It is the intention behind how the tool is being used which is key.

Many years ago I heard a guy put it like this: Life can be like an uncovered wooden box on two iron bars being rapidly dragged across frozen ground by a four-legged hairy beast. . . or . . . life can be like a one horse open sleigh dashing through the snow. Which expression (wavelength) of life would you prefer to reside in? Hence, it is suggested that art is not just a manner of communicating; it is also the quality of the communication.

The knowing use of art toward the attainment of the Pickens Plan goal is critical to the success of the game. The artist that resides within each and every one of us has at hand the means by which to seek out and reveal the infinite aspects of our goal for all to see as it sits there in the future waiting for our arrival. Truly, the artists have at their disposal the means by which to greatly expedite this movement into a new paradigm of energy and much more.

Artists are recognized and acknowledged as being the senior and most key players in the game Pickens Plan. That's my truth. You may or may not agree with it. -Monte
