The idea of as many schools devoted to gnosis & gnosticism as there are churches and other religious orders


Resurrection

Having had numerous conversations with the person that has assisted me with my art career,  and in order to do this on numerous levels, we have had many conversations about different things on many different levels.  One level was to be able to explain to her,  for her understanding,  about the importance of what the levels of organized religion have done to the mentality of the whole planet.  She has told me at times that she does not understand since she never grew up in a religious household and that she was given an understanding of her a life outside of the structured confines that religion has brought to the masses.  

I had to keep searching, for ways to make her understand what I have experienced and seen locally and globally.  Even though she does not have a religious or spiritual nature she is still controlled mentally by the hierarchical nature of this mentality.  Even though she thinks she is fairly free in her thinking,  I see limitations.  Maybe it is because I am at least 18 years older or maybe even since I was at least 5 years old there is a part of me that has always understood things differently.  I would go in and out of this knowing,  not sure what to do with it or what to make of it.  Now I am learning and experiencing how to use it and own it for myself.

What I did say to her recently was "Imagine if there were as many schools devoted to gnosis,  gnosticism and the teachings of it as there are churches and other religious organizations.  The world would not be what it is today."  Then she finally got it.

Waking up this morning at 4:00am and started visualizing.....


the exhibit in the basement of the Olympic Mills Building in the SE inner industrial area of Portland.  Because I could not go back to sleep because I was going with the experience of being there laying it out and laying it out on a schematic with a pencil as well,  I decided to get up and actually start to physically lay it out,  not just in my head.  I was surprised this happened since I have only recently started talking about the exhibit to people again after taking a hiatus allowing other events in my life to occur.  It feels good to be talking with people about this again.  What is another unexpected surprise is to be able to see the new layout pertaining to the physical location that I want for this exhibit,  and that drawing it out,  figuring out the logistics of how people are going to move through and experience what I am hoping they will,  is starting to make it more tangible,  more accessible,  more real to me. 

I am still uncertain of where the exhibit will take place but know I will find a location soon.  What I am certain of is the atmosphere that needs to happen for people to feel what I inherently understand and see has happened because of the crucifixion of the feminine.

Just came in the mail "The Priory of Sion Dossiers"

I had ordered from the Bloodline film about a month and a half ago The Priory of Sion Dossiers compiled by Bruce Burgess,  Rene Barnett & Robert Howells.  I just received it in the mail and am blown away by what is in it.  I feel as if I am reading history in the making.  What can one say truly at a moment like this when you have in your hands what I do.  So much information to go over and so incredibly much to process.

Will keep updated.
