Conscious Art and Music

When I was introduced to Photoshop, there was another level of excitement. Distorting images is its own type of art. But many would argue that we’ve taken this to an unhealthy level. It’s become all too accessible to trick others into believing we, others, and things, look like something they simply aren’t, and should look like what we change them to. In 2011, the American Medical Association (AMA) announced it was taking a stand against image manipulation in advertising. Body image expectations, eating disorders, and other emotional problems were discussed as potential risks for alterations made through processes like Photoshop.
Kute Blackson in this highly inspirational music video “The Miracle Is You,” reveals so much to us by opening our eyes to the fact that we should not be on a tireless pursuit of a miracle, because we ourselves are the miracle.

If his 63 years have slowed him somewhat, he won’t be merely treading the boards on an upcoming promotional tour, either.

“Through the power of guilt, fear, torture and war against Pagan influences from the Middle East, the medieval Church struggled to bring under hand a violent and turbulent Europe. The last thing the Church needed was a resurgence of Egyptian Hermeticism, Hebrew Kabbalah or neo-Pythagoreanism to interfere with its plan.
I first read about the role of the Catholic Church suppressing the knowledge of enlightening nature and sound patterns in the book Biological Apocalypse. Later I read a book explaining the power and uses of these hidden sound patters, enlightenment codes and this book is free! Check out Richard Merrick’s site…, which is fabulous! He has an understandable theory and history of this musical suppression.
Winston Smith, the hero of Orwell’s 1984, has just been arrested for crimes against the State. Sitting in his cell, he watches as a familiar figure steps through the door. It’s O’Brien, the man he thought was his friend. But O’Brien is an undercover agent of the Party, and the Party rules all.
