Visionary Psychedelic Surrealism by Myztico

"It is they, the modern day "shamanic-visionaries" who are at the fore front of an ever expanding international movement of concerned individuals that are waking humanity up to the realization that we are on the precipice of losing all that we cherish due to short term ignorant controlled dogma that is enforced by a very few in the international “elite power structure”.  There still is time for change if we the evolving people of mother earth, demand en masse  an enlightened restructuring of a sustainable worldview that shares compassionate wisdom for all life that combines spiritualism  & technology, renewable natural sources of energy, that will help free humanity from the bondage of  wage $lavery and allow us all to take part in the greatest transformation of evolutionary truth that connects us to the cosmic source of infinite possibilities." 

 

Coded deep within our DNA, I am sensing that a switch is about to be turned on in preparation for a mass awakening the likes of which humanity has never known. At the fore-front of the collective and individual sub-conscious, the spark of creative expression exists imbedded within each of us. For it is the very essence of what truly makes us sentient beings on this fragile planet.

  

From the primal (yet inspired) cave art found throughout Europe, Africa, Australia and the Americas, to the mysterious high art of ancient Egypt (with its astounding array of sacred geometry architecture, hieroglyphs and relics that modern man finds difficult if not impossible to replicate), to the vast variety of consecrated art that the Sumerians, Mayans, Aztecs, Olmecs, Native American (and a host of other extinct civilizations) have left for us to rediscover. It is this legacy that these ancient visionary artists leave for modern humanity, to give a glimpse into a perished golden age of advanced knowledge and their connection to the interdimensional realms that co-exist within our distant past, present and our unfolding future. These signs, symbols and structures were placed here to inform us about our true  "starseed" origins and ultimate re-introduction into the galactic community.

 

Throughout history, art was meant to help provide and celebrate an exalted state of being to the beholder, to generate contemplation and reverence for that which can not be described in words or to reveal deeper mysteries that our five senses cannot normally tune into. Unfortunately, much modern day art in my humble opinion has become for the most part, another consumable trendy commodity to be placed in sterile art galleries or palaces of wealth. To be seen by limited vision, yet not truly experienced by the soul. Eye candy for the ipod generation hanging on superficial walls, meant to match the color of the decor with no true healing purpose other than just to cover a bare wall.

 

In the 3rd eye of the Beholder

Let us consider for a moment the impact of art upon the beholder. Does its intent come from a place deep within the collective psyche? If so how does that intent connect with the beholder? Does it spark an intuitive soul stirring response that prompts discussion or provides new insights? Does the beholder just walk past the art as just another image that the minds eye projects?  Is the work of art just a figment of the imagination of the artist that is trying to convey an interdimensional realm? If so how does this affect the beholders psyche? Can he/she pick up on this thread of the collective subconscious therefore allowing the art to become an inspiration within their personal experience of the world?  Or might the art convey glimpses, impressions or views into other worlds that are unseen by the naked eye therefore providing a deeper awareness of the unknown layers that exist parallel to our own holographic reality?

 

If so, does this intrigue, frighten or compel the beholder to dig deeper into their own interpretation of these alternative realms? Lastly, may some artists be acting as conduits without any preconceived notion as to what their art actually means as mediums that allow creativity to flow through them, as there is no true way of analyzing where some of these creative impulsive transmissions come from or what their ultimate purpose may be? Could this type of art be actually messages from the "ether", to help humans wake up out of their slumber by informing them as to where the true potential of the human spirit can aspire to evolve towards?

 The Visionary artist journeys to the inter-dimensional realms

The hidden vistas of infinite imagination, dreamtime terrains and profound visions that artists who engage in spiritual, meditative and entheogenic explorations, will always seem (in certain ways) to be presented with a "surrealist or fantastical" point of view. To the un-initiated eye, these unfamiliar images may seem difficult to comprehend or perhaps confusing, yet there is a subconscious connection. These "visionary experiences" whether they are being captured on canvas, sonically, within literature or even during trance states induced during ecstatic dance can help awaken the divine within the beholder or the masses whom are often slumbering their way through life.

 

Because of the constant bombardment of the media surveillance state that most of the public finds themselves under the spell of. These evolving works of art can be seen as an urgent wake up call to shake off the cobwebs of a dormant once imaginatively hopeful spirit! The essence of the message is that we are “ALL ONE”, a glowing fragment of the energy source that imbues our Earth, our galaxy and indeed the cosmic  matrix of the infinite. Our true nature is that pure “spirit essence”, that we cannot exist without. As more people around our ever shrinking world wake up to new alternate realities, they begin to question the true motives and hidden agendas of so-called world leaders, religious institutional dogma and the financial systems that are in place to enslave and rob humanity and our planet from its highest potential. As the battle for our minds and souls rage on,art in its purest of forms can help serve as a catalyst for the masses to reject tyranny of their hearts and minds by the controlling elite,  to embrace instead infinite love in all its layers of wisdom and evolution.

 

WHAT WE STILL DON’T KNOW

The work of the clichéd “tormented artist” who’s artistic expression extends beyond the ordinary realm of thought and form is in an indirect way, comparable to the art, verse and the orgiastic dancing that shamanic journeying or Vision Quests produce amongst those in "primitive tribal cultures" that engage in this most ancient of practices. In fact some indigenous cultures refer to their Shaman as "wounded healers". In modern western culture, I sense that there is a parallel relationship between the path taken by certain "mis-understood artists" and the "primal wounded healers" that still practice these ancient forms of healing their community.

 

As some artists enter their psychic caves in search of otherworldly realms or untapped knowledge and emerge with "visions" that are then "translated" onto canvas, film, music (or any another creative forum by which one may express themselves). They bring forth the results they’ve gleaned from within these other realms. After these experiences are "filtered" through the individual artist’s gates of perceptions, the end results can be enlightening, inspiring, healing, humorous or even dark and disturbing. It’s all dependent as much on what the artist brought back from the "journeying" and how the beholder experiences the work of art through their eyes. Generally the expressive arc of any visionary shamanic artist spans the universal balance between the "light and dark" that has manifested itself at all levels of the cosmic DNA matrix.

The power of LOVE is greater than the love of power!

The artist, as a modern day cultural “shaman” has its value within the social context because the collective sub-conscience is now under "surveillance" and control by an elite few that are afraid of our mass awakening as more information becomes accessible via public mediums such as the internet, pod casts, mobile phones, etc. As more people are re-discovering that careful sacramental (and or scientific) use of natural entheogenic plant teachers or ancient meditative practices , this can be a vital tool for bringing humanity closer to the "source" of our timeless potential. 

 

Artists and their "sacred art" can help to provide "road maps", ideas and archetypes for the community to contemplate, even warning signs to help others avoid the "dangerous paths" that may lie ahead if people are to remain complacent and apathetic. The real question is, are people ready to listen or are they so distracted by the daily distractions of trash that is fed to them via the mainstream media that keeps them lost within the sea of samsara and illusions that it may take something major to truly wake them up? I am an eternal optimist and am hopeful that the masses willwake up soon to realize a new shift in consciousness. This shift will reject the old school  paradigms and tired dogma that control and instill fear in so many!

 

Since the arts speak in a universal language, it can break down international, linguistic and pre-concieved boundaries in ways that politics or organized religions may find more difficult to communicate, therefore from the earliest of prehistory to the present art has always been the common uniter of all of earth's people.

 

At present, a new painting, film, poem or new piece of music can be instantly uploaded online and be seen by hundreds if not thousands within a matter of a few days. This is the magik age of instant communication a true turning point in human history, where the evolved visionary can reflect back to society what the possibilities can be if we all only take a moment to reflect upon our roles as connected spirits while on this earth plane. The true beneficiary of the artist’s quest to expand his/her fields of perceptions (often at great sacrifice and personal risk) could very well be all of humanity itself.

 

Shamanism is perhaps the oldest spiritual ritual known to human kind and it’s recent resurgence into the public subconscious might have happened because many people, have become sceptical of organized religions, that have, as they became more organized, stripped away the true power of their message and have often served to block people from seeking communion with our divine creator in intuitive and direct natural ways. The same way that politicians have taken away the power of self governance by the people and instead become the masters as opposed to the servants of the people.

 

The "Visionary Shamanic Artists” as well as millions of other enlightened beings are here to proclaim that it’s time for a major change in perception, to consult with our spirit allies as how to better co-exist with our international family of sentient beings. To encounter our "power animals" and to allow their guidance to help us become more in tune with our mother planet, to help nurture her instead of plundering her limited resources for short term gain . The time is now for self empowerment and a long term positive, actualized vision for a sustainable planet to be inherited by future generations. Let us not be the generation that will be remembered as those that stood by and did nothing, while sick and greedy international corporations, military industrial banking cartel governments ravaged our planet and enslaved humanity under the guise of protectionism. Yes this is a big responsibility for each of us, but if we don’t awaken now while there is still time then it maybe too late a few years from now!

 

Although our 5 senses limit most of us to consider material existence as our only reality, the “artist (as) shaman”, is on a quest to delve deeper into the source of all creation.  We take on a very lonely (and sometimes dangerous) journey of exploration on behalf of those that are afraid to seek deeper truths. We do it (and we risk it) because we are compelled to as concerned beings of the Earth, we give birth to our art both to understand as well as to proclaim the "discoveries" we made while exploring those other inter-dimensional realms of existence. This is what I aspire to do when I paint, create music or make films, inspired by imagery from my dreams or vision quests from the lower, middle and upper realms. Some of the art has punctuated this blog to help illustrate some of these evolving thoughts! Namaste...
