Love, Readymade777

This is another layer peeled back. This is another angle of my psyche....and this piece is also partially a response to an inquisitive message I received from someone who seems to understand some of my intentions. He wrote......

"Re: Explorers League
‪The first step is in the last words you wrote: "realize that we are slaves." ‬

‪You remember your own fear - or trepidation. I think it is too much to *ask* of anyone, but you aren't exactly asking.. or even telling. You are showing. I do admire your approach. Overload, you call it. :)‬

‪It's like you are showing them their world by thrusting it into their faces... subtly. Living at the eye wall of a stagnant hurricane. Taking a step back means safety but still trapped within the monstrosity. A step forward is to enter the maelstrom.. and, perhaps, oblivion. You are certain the storms will shred your world to pieces. It will. yet, the storm is not at all what it seems to be. From the inside, it's dangerous, chaotic and represents the end. ‬

‪Once we entered the storm, however, we became part of it and found ourselves there. Only the eye wall shreds our perceptions. The winds beyond are so calm and the Sun shines. It seems leaving the safety of the hurricane immediately puts a great distance between us and it.‬

‪It's a graduate process, isn't it? You feel something just isn't "right." But, then you feel YOU are wrong for thinking that. We must bridge that gap, perception of "I am wrong," on our own. Beacons are needed, yes. But the change of mind and heart is internal to the one seeking their freedom. This is where I clearly digress. hahaha‬

‪BTW, I would never suggest anything to you. I appreciate your art... any artist's work. It's your expression of yourself. How can any outsider suggest you go about doing that? ;)‬

‪Now, you get to tell me your story. I can generalize it but only you can tell it. (Perhaps, you already have in a video and I haven't viewed it yet.)‬

‪Do tell.‬"

to much editing

[readymade7777]

@brilliantmojo too much everything

[The101room]

I think this work is amazing and you keep exploring with clips from all over the world to keep us involved in a unknown journey of discovery. The closest work I can think of in cinema is Michael R. Miller on the film Slipstream by Anthony Hopkins and maybe sections of the film Fight Club. When I watched Slipstream I imagined you editing it, maybe without the camera stills idea that for me didn't work, anyway keep posting and leaving confusing visual clues ;)

[readymade7777]

@The101room What a great reply! I actually have used clips from Slipstream in a couple of works, because the color and emotion conveyed in that film are amazingly close to my moods

[IllPropaganda]

Sensei,

@Paradox4567 My world is your world

People like to hear their names

I'm no exception

Please call my name

Call my name

No new tale to tell

[Paradox4567]

@KaiserSpherical i would agree for the most part but are names and labels not just another creation going about life? I think it is merely when people become overly selfish and get caught up in labels that we then become stuck at an impass.

girl u crazy

[KaiserSpherical]

And most importantly: fear and love. Things that weren't understood were feared, power was feared, strangers were feared, the unknown, the unseen -- everything became feared, almost irrationally. The more that become named, the more separated from our natural path of harmony. If more people followed you, at least in thought, and openly spread love, the names wouldn't matter. Race, creed, sexual orientation -- none of that would matter.

And we would live in harmony, peace and happiness.

With love

This being the third video commented on, I'm beginning to see -- whether by design or because I choose to see -- theme that resonates with Daoism. Its believed that in the beginning, when there were no names, all the universe existed in perfect harmony. When the tens of thousands of names were assigned, the world became fragmented, divided, allowing for the systemic categorization of polarities. Good and evil, ugly and beautiful, right and wrong.
