SPIRITUAL UPRISING

Those who do not accept our scaly, squishy past similarly cannot look into the future of
ever existent possibilities. All words are lies, and visions have always been best described
within visual images and sounds. Images and sounds which put us in touch with some unknown or
fearful or beautiful aspect of our natures, we believe, will always be preferable to the
human being than the everyday images presented to us through the media. The power of the media
proves the power of images and sounds by using them to manipulate our senses instead of
exalting our consciousness.

The homo-sapien is a multi faceted, multi-dimensional creature. Science proves this by
pointing out that nine-tenths of our vast network called 'the brain' functions above and
below the consciousness, and the job of the conscious mind is to correlate and organize the
impressions during its lifetime, in order to develop a vision or `way' of perceiving some
form of harmony within a chaotic world of solar-atomic-structure. It,figures that if the
multi-dimensional as pect is glimpsed, even for a moment, in all its primitive sexual, and
at the same time, angelic glory, it will no doubt alter to some degree the way in which we
perceive things, for the good of the conscious mind.
But how many these days can even 'believe' that this is possible for them?

The whole sordid politico-religious system working on us at this very moment seeks to undermine
the individual's attempts to turn the world the right way up again, by replacing individual
creativity and expression with pathetic concepts of mass-consciousness, working-class,
middle-class etc.,
placing us neatly in line with their stupid, ignorant idea of 'divide and rule', and outwardly
at least, through centuries of repression and frustration, we have,finally laid down and taken
the bait . . . have we?

Therefore we want no part in your delusion called 'society'. You make it virtually impossible
to live without paying' in one way or another. You impose your laws and economic ideals on us
and place the great god profit' before any.form of human value or aspiration, and the world is
upside down.

Do not merge into their ocean of mire, cold and grey.
Do not sacrifice yourself on their altar of economics,
but go forward with imagination and will in hand.
And never doubt your own personal power to have it all right now.
