In a moonlit night on a spring day,
the croak of a frog
pierces through the whole cosmos
turning it into
a single family.

In the magic of the heart, in the center that is free, at play in the fields of creation, Shiva and Shakti dance together in creativity and love. This energy is an expression of eternal delight, of pure arts discovering themselves again for the first time.

Matter, life and mind are expressions of One divine Logos that the Primordial Man and Woman create through each other. Shiva and Shakti are Man and Woman, liberated and in love, seting each other free. This universe is an overflowing source of this love, a manifested expression of the exuberance of this love. This lovemaking inspires all creation, enabling art, poetry, music, and dancing as the spiritual origins of human culture.

In this infinite round of being, every being is a crown of clear light, informing and irradiating all things. Everyone inherits the ability to open a channel for helping to shape culture through creative expression and artistic action in the world. Grounded solidly in what we have come here to do, we all share and are connected in a greater movement we are creating together. Our thoughts are each others thoughts, a collective chorus of life, the unified thoughts of the uni-verse, the One Song. We are all part of each other. “Todos unidos !” – All united.

So here we are at the end of everything, a perfect moment to reinvent the future through the present. To rejoin the end with the beginning, connecting end-ways with first ways, in the Oroboric feedback loop of the perpetual present. For that unfathomable moment of conception is endlessly resurrected, and flowers in the Now.

Firmly grounded in the present, we wake up to the magical destiny of our long lineage of light. The spiritual practices of the world help us to dance outside of linear time and into the ahistorical present, into the centre of the labyrinth of mind where the World Tree, ‘Axis Mundi’, can be explored for wisdom and medicine. Gnosis liberates us from our habits and unties us from the restrictions, blockages and inhibitions around our essence which strives for unity by promoting a loving open-system for relating to energy and information. From this well of knowledge comes art, poetry, music and dance, all containing visions of the world within the world. It is from these visions that we may glimpse the potentials through which the present world can transform into the future world. The creative imagination is a guiding sign in worlds manifold journey towards actualization.

There is a deep ecology of spirit immanent within the endless flow of physical, chemical, electrical energies of our universe. We are being called out of the historical present to rediscover our kinship with a more-than-human world, interlinking with the individual and collective minds of kindred animal, mineral and plant species. Co-creating a unified communication of health and harmony, understanding that our actions have implications at every level of life on the planet, we are coming together with other living things to collectively steward the present in order to build a sustainable future. Using art as a starting point for mapping the possible and linking archaic and modern technology, visionary culture is able to apply creativity and integrate wisdom more than ever before.

By nurturing a supple awareness of how the natural ecologies of the earth work in relation to climatic and galactic patterns, we can come to understand the long term consequences of our actions on many levels at once. In this way, plant paradigms like permaculture promote the refinement of our perspective and the conscious shift of our behavioral approaches to growth and development in the world. Understanding the forest as a metaphor for a stable and healthy relationship ecology, the emerging art movements model designs in nature in order to integrate concepts like energy cycling, no-waste consumption, co-dependent relationships, and biodiversity. Plant paradigms bring us a set of malleable techniques and technologies for healing our relationship with ourselves, each other, plants and the planet.

The standing wave of our collective artistic intention crystalises through time via innumerable iterations, into the ornate and baroque structures of civilization. Humanity has walled ourselves up in ego – in mental constructs – which crystalize around us as artificial and dislocated environments like urban sprawls, credit debt and government control. Smoke stacks, fumes from an ineffable petrochemical metabolism confuse the planet and toxify our collective ecology at every level of organism. This world is only the outcome of a certain view. First we make our buildings, then our buildings make us.

In gratitude

The creative imagination is vitalized and inspired by a reconnection to the Gaian fertility circuit. Our creativity is our most valuable faculty for regenerating the web of life and moving humanity beyond its current existential and ecological blind alley. Art, music, poetry and dance are universal languages creating foundations for an authentic planetary culture. With these skillsets we are able to address and navigate the intricate problems of our time.

Visionary culture is one of the spirit seeds for the emerging civilization, a set of pathways into the collective creation of a sustainable world. The development of art, poetry, music and dance is at the cusp of a long lineage of transformational growth that can be traced back long before the humble origins of our current world. At this time of turmoil our spiritual destiny is awakening again, a vessel to transport us across the rift of impending ecological collapse. Redefining our roles as planetary stewards and redesigning our collective approach to saving the biosphere, we are presented with a toolset for activating our potential to play an active role in the unfolding. Utilizing the unlimited potentials of the empowered creative imagination provides human culture with the evolutionary option of harmonizing with the more than human world.

Magical awareness
Gaian tapestry
pure elemental frequencies
mapping the landscapes
(like falling water
life streaming from void)

within seed chambers
and honeycombed lattices of light:
an infinite empire of beauty

worlds within worlds
ecologies within ecologies
planting futures
through supple exchanges
between seen and unseen

here we are in this place
of shining stones forever
experiencing the presence

In a world of rapidly dissolving borders and boundaries, the separation between the worlds of the imaginal and the worlds of the material are deepening their weave. With access to the knowledge and history of all cultures of the world, what was once separated by distance and language, is now being melded together. We now have access to the history of art from all different artistic traditions. The modern artist is steeped in influences from all artistic genres and art eras. Advances in communications technology means artists who at one time were limited to representing in their own country can now share their work globally. In this way living artistic traditions all over the earth are influencing and being influenced by each other simultaneously. A global art culture is emerging and with it come undreamed of potentials for collaborative artistic evolution. There is a new sheen on the surface of what art means for human culture and what potentials it has to shape the context into which the future culture is being birthed.

Since deep in the mists of time, the human creative imagination has been filled with reflections of spirit. Sometimes these came as dreams or visions, in art and song or through the very fabric of ordinary life. Splendored landscapes, mystical beings, sacred forms and heavenly architectures, all shards in a mythology rich with an intelligence of design. All cultural traditions reflect this spirit of the divine imagination, it is at the heart of the human. In our modern media miasma we find a poly-pantheon of entities and blessed realms rich with nuance and meaning. Today such art comes by many names and has many manifestations, some of these art culture movements are ; visionary art, fantastic realism, surrealism, magical realism, psychedelic art, fantasy art, fairy art, religious art, and new age art. Like crystals, the different movements grow out of each other creating an interconnected mass of points and facets. Some see many of these different art culture genres unified by a common exploration into the divine spirit of the creative imagination. Entheo art is a cross-platform description of a non-localized, modern manifestation of this spirited art culture.

It is a time of great transition for our civilization. The planetary art cultures are a celebration of what is past and what is possible, a shamanic bridge between presence and futures. Entheo art is both a vision and a vehicle for spirit, let it invoke a return to a deeper connectedness between the inspired spiritual life of creative production and the textured material life of the approaching technofuturism. Art is a form of life and its working with us to shape the very fabric of what’s to come.
