Mind control, art, and alchemy

Here are several notes from the years 1999-2007, while I was preparing my collection, Exit From The Matrix. They take up the subject of reality-construction, mind control, mind freedom, and creative power:
“You have to understand that there are dimensions. In the dimension we call the world, a person needs logic. He needs it badly. He needs to be able to analyze and take apart things and put them back together again. He needs to identify flaws in reasoning and discover deceptions. He needs to recognize formal arguments and trace them all the way through from assumptions to conclusions. But in the dimension where creative power operates, all bets are off. He needs to understand and experience and launch a kind of vast freedom for his own imagination that takes him entirely out of the realm of being a normal person, a provincial “realist,” a mechanically thinking human. He has to go light-years past that. In other words, he has to stop burying his own creative power.”
“Mind control, brainwashing, programming, conditioning all refer to the imposition of systems on the human creative impulse. When you have a whole civilization that, more and more, consists of systems, you have an effort to replace the individual with the machine.”
“At the highest level, elites are in the business of inventing reality for everyone else. This is more than lying. It’s the wholesale invention of a continuum. Past, present, and future.”
“Imagination is the opposite of mind control. It is creating beyond the boundaries of accepted reality. It is more than perception. Imagination expands perception.”
“Most people define freedom as liberation from certain externally imposed restrictions. But freedom goes much farther than that. It goes beyond how individuals ordinarily define their own existence. It is intimately connected to possibility—what can be created.”
“When the first cave painter scratched an animal on a stone wall, he was undertaking a unique action. He was expressing his own consciousness beyond living his life. He was inventing beyond his experience. Suddenly, his experience had another use. It could be gathered up and transformed into painting, creation. Art is a spiritual path. Civilizations rise and fall, come and go, and their fate is decided by untold millions of people who refrain from taking the path of the artist. Ordinary life doesn’t resolve into a grand solution. It never has. Through alchemical persuasion, however, it can. And that alchemy is art. Metalife. The chain of cause and effect, threading from past into present, breaks. Instead, imagination invents new realities and new futures, utilizing the energy of past events. But this energy is no longer connected to those events. It’s brand new, it’s fuel for the fire.”
“Many, many artists don’t realize the power they have in their hands. They persist in seeing themselves as ‘entitled to be crazy’ in their lives, and this undercuts their own consciousness. Many artists are so obsessed with commercial success and fame they’d dance at the end of a leash like a dog if they thought it would bring them recognition. This, needless to say, is debilitating.”
“So-called spiritual traditions tend to have a habit of depicting states of consciousness and enlightenment. They’re intent on describing the Reality behind reality. Art makes no such claims. On its path, the artist invents many, many realities, and in doing so, he moves beyond all such depictions. For a culture to realize all these things, something quite different from propaganda and indoctrination would have to take place. In the meantime, metalife is an individual proposition. It always has been.”
