Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Ted Haggard, the (ex) President of the National Evangelical Association, falls to sex and drugs.... Republican Senator Mark Foley discovered hitting on young boys... Republican Senators found to be on the take from the Jack Abramoff money machine... the Conservative Movement spends more than any Presidency in the history of the U.S... corporate rule is the prophet of the times, not the individual, while people have lost their minds to mindlessness as an opiate to disguise their uselessness based upon the greater good of CEO's and Wall Street... who themselves deny the greater good of individuals.
The Arab world is being conquered by their Muslim factions... the Kurds, Bathists, Sunnis, Shi'ites killing each other... for one religion... one prophet that speaks for all believers, not individuals... one prophet whose words cannot be agreed upon... but repression has become the religion to be fearful of our heaven will not be attained... hide the female in robes, deny sexuality, deny individuality, deny differences as enemies.
Is not money the root of all evil... or is sex the evil of our roots? which shall become the most valid opinion which will dominate us... whip us into hysterical delight as the lashings of guilt burn our flesh, nail us to our crosses, as we cry in shame for merely wanting... wont is the sin that spurs us to some ideal of a future life where all be good and giving... to me, to you, to us... we are all at fault... nobody gets out of this alive... we are criminals cast upon this planet to survive our ideals based upon our limitations... we cannot fathom anything beyond our ridiculousness... our cowardly ways have gotten this far as we fear not only our own, but our own sexuality, our own possibility, our own self-imposed barriers.... denial of our individuality that we see as at best a stranger if not an enemy.
We create larger, bigger, more powerful, more destructive machines of war, but fear using them... monies spent to protect ourselves from ourselves, to veil our natural instincts from ever being seen... we remake ourselves because we cannot stand ourselves as they are. We hide in the shadows of fearful gods created as an excuse for our needs that should never be taken as reality.
We choose fear over acceptance of individuality as if everything different from ourselves is an enemy. We deny ourselves from embracing life as it was given to us - one planet complete for survival, one planet complete with gifts to share, one planet with room for all to become one as the planet has always been one for ourselves.
But yet we continue repressing our innate individuality that has become so buried in our politics, our religions, our greed, our envy, our lust, our piggish ways that we have become vengeful against anything that doesn't look like our ugly reflection that we proudly mask ourselves to be because we have become so blinded by these same institutions that we feel are the best of us... and yet these ideals are destroying us, destroying our individuality, one word at a time.

We will assure our own destruction only to assure destroying the very thing that we cherish - our freedom to be what has been given to us in our inner being... a place that is to be avoided and never found, for we have convinced ourselves that life is everything outside this inner place where in dwells all that we ignore to truly better our lives and not our fears.
We must understand our fears no matter where we live, no matter what flag we salute, no matter what god we worship, no matter what politics we surrender to... for it is these very things that encourage the fear that we are witness to: our individuality. None of these things allow me, allow you, allow him or her to be what I, what you, what him or her really want, really need, really... it has become so delusional that we bow before delusion believing it to be the Truth.
As Adam and Eve (yin/yang) were symbolically cast from the Garden of Eden by Eve's (feminine side) biting the apple (drawing nourishment from one side), it is our own duality that has surrendered to the apple (ego), where our over-reliance upon knowledge has brought us to where our Judeo/Christian/Muslim problems have gotten us today. We still know not of the Christian symbology of baptism - taking us under the spiritual waters into the inner-life we all have within... the place where we all began. Until we reunite to this place, the Garden, we shall remain lost and delusional to what living truly is - fearless and free where love brings bliss and contentment to fruit-ion, our own individuality.
