Here is a recent painting my brother just completed. Here is the copy to inspire the shopper to bid on it. Can you tell he is related to me? ;)
This is an image of a Late Period Egyptian bronze of the Goddess Bastet. It is interesting to note that among the "pantheon" of ancient Egyptian "dieties" (actually NOT Gods and Goddess, but 'aspects' of conciousness - called Neters), a cat-headed humanoid is never seen. There is a Lion-headed Neter, but the 'domestic' cat seems to have a unique status. Could felines, or the 'Feline Aspect of Conciousness' be the underlying principle which truly "runs the Show"? Of course, by "the Show", I mean the Galactic-wide interface of DNA-space-time.... which obviously begins within OUR original cell, that sat in each of our mother's womb, even while She was still a fetus.
That being said, the fact that simple mathematical concepts like the Golden Section, phi, the square root of 2, etc... all give rise to many natural growth progressions, social progressions, etc... and are clearly encoded in every part of ancient Egytian art/architecture/hieroglyphics/religion.... That is one thing.... the other is, why is it that "culture" always seems to attempt to MERGE the sensory input that we experience, into a UNIFIED experience?... remember the Acid Tests? The entire psychedelic "thing" was the realization that ALL sensory input is BLENDED, and as such, can be either converted into ART/JOY or PROPAGANDA/DOGMA. The 1890s was all about flying and driving but ALSO about merging the recorded sensory experience.... motion pictures, sound recording, radio... okay, stay with me here...
SO, THAT being said, we go back to the ancient culture we refer to as ancient Egypt, even though it has absolutely no connection to the modern culture of Egypt. The people who "exrpressed" the Sacred Knowledge, did it perfectly. Perfect, in that ALL of their "expressions" - words, art, sound, structure, culture, social order, world-view were IN SYNCH.
Think about this. They were not deperately and pathetically striving for this elusive and temporary "unity" as the Americanized World does today. They had it. They did it. NO ONE on earth could build the Great Pyramid today. The technology does NOT exist for people today to duplicate this structure, even if the entire world focused on it. Think about it. We do tricks with silicon, steel, and other cool synthetic materials. Big deal, man.
