Since time began: what artists are telling us
By Jon Rappoport
"Many people are afraid of art. Why? Because art says reality
isn't finished. This reality---the one we all know about---isn't the
only one. An infinite number of realities can be imagined and invented."
"People who say they have no imagination are imagining they have no imagination."
"The atoms of the body and the atoms of the universe are waiting for imagination to give them more life."
"Artists are saying, 'No matter what Super-Reality you
believe in, no matter what cosmology you accept, imagination can go
farther. There is no final map'."
"Artists are saying, 'Your future is wide open. You can invent it. Or you can let someone else invent it for you'."
"Artists provide answers to questions that haven't been asked
yet. This bothers people who want to spend their lives solving pre-set
problems."
"Living in a virtual bubble can be interesting, especially
when you're not aware of it. The question is, how extreme can a bubble
be? How much of what we think of as reality can actually be the stuff of
a bubble? Most people want to say a little bit of this and that is
virtual and the rest is absolutely authentic. That's as far as they want
to go. But every bubble has its own space and time. This means space
and time are far from exclusive, far from singular, far from
absolute..."
"The Labyrinth is where most people are. They live their
lives walking through paths that circle around to places they've already
visited. They experience, over and over, a relatively small number of
emotions. They think they need a map to escape. But a map is what got
them into the Labyrinth in the first place. A map is a system. To leave
the maze, they need something beyond systems."
"Imagination is more than a tool. It colors all of
consciousness. It understands that What Already Exists is just a
way-station into the future, and that future is open, without limits.
Somebody may have already invented the future for everybody else, but he
can be derailed, he can be superseded."
"Look at a structure you have an intuition about. Now begin
digging down into it. Think about the weirdest possible revelation you
could uncover. The one nobody would believe. It's possible you're
sniffing on the right track. For example, governments announce a new
epidemic caused by a virus. And you eventually find out that this virus
has never been found in a single human being. This has happened to me."
"Painters like Kandinsky, Klee, Matisse, and Redon understood
that what they were inventing was at least as real as what people took
to be reality. The painters understood that, but they didn't talk about
it. They didn't express their insights in such bold terms. They realized
it would open them up to intense ridicule. From whom? There is a group
on planet Earth who functions as the Guardian of Reality; and then there
is a much larger group, the dupes of the Guardians. These two groups
buy and sell Ordinary Reality."
"A person has a problem. What happens when he's tried all the
familiar solutions and they don't work? He has to imagine a new
solution and put it into effect. What happens if he says he has no
imagination?"
"Stop thinking of yourself as an ordinary human being who has
ordinary problems that need to be solved. That's what got you in a mess
in the first place."
