Proposal For Art Project at Burning Man

I've started to get some favorable responses from one person within the Burning Man organization for an art project involving the demolition of the giant word "truth" constructed from steel i-beams and destroyed by computer timed thermate cutter charges. Burning Man is a high visibility art spectacle that oftentimes manages to feature thought provoking works of art on a large scale. I believe that the proposal I outline here can draw more attention to the notion of thermate cutter charges being used to bring down the World Trade buildings. What I need from interested folks on this blog are contacts to qualified demo companies that may be interested in teaming with me and providing technical assistance, Links for possible funders & other considerations you deem worthy. I will attempt to secure an art grant from the Burning Man Art Foundation, though it may be a little late for that. I just got the idea for this. International and national news attention usually follows around this type of thing at Burning Man, so it can become very interesting. You can contact me through my brightpathvideo website.
Thanks, John http://www.brightpathvideo.com/Truth/TruthPlan.htm

911 Prayer Intention

"Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see. "

John Newton penned these words around the time he experienced an ‘awakening’ around the early 19th century.
He had been the captain of a slave ship. During a violent storm at sea, he experienced a shift in consciousness. Soon after, he renounced slave running for an altogether different way of life.

Outer transformations are really inner transformations. How does this happen? What makes a Daniel Elsberg decide to risk career and personal freedom to publish a disturbing classified account of America’s darker reasons for engaging in the Vietnam War?
What causes any whistle blower to take the sometime life threatening risk of revealing truths that would otherwise never see the light of day? It is, in short, the higher mind at work.

Positive prayer or focused intention is a way for the universal to operate on the level of a well placed, well crafted thought put to its highest use. The Transcendentalists spoke of the “over soul”, a kind of unifying principle. There is a commonality in experience. Making contact with the source of that commonality, is to share some of its attributes, namely, the shaping of higher thoughts. Higher thoughts vibrate at a different frequency that tends to lift up the atmosphere of general thought. Grace is the constant movement in all sentient beings towards a higher expression of itself. In times of great troubles, many minds converge with thoughts of peace and solution. These deeply felt longings are what’s at work especially now, in the time we live. We can re-create what we have created. The complexity of what we have created can be worked with and set to balance.

It is with these thoughts and realizations that I offer the following “idea”, craving for implementation.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, events around the attacks of September 11, 2001 are clouded in darkness. Voices that have asked for a deeper and more thorough look into the causes and details of this event have raised many unanswered questions and largely been ignored by the press and dominant thought in the public mind. Yet the questions keep coming through the crevices that are afforded to them at the moment.
Suppose there is some truth to the thought that Government knowingly permitted the attacks to happen and even embellished them in order to achieve what it thought was the highest good of those they represent? If true, then there would be momentous consequences for the acts and directions this country has taken since then. If true, the only way to reset the course, would be to manifest a complete and honest account of what happened. South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation policy is a working model for how this can work.

To help the possibility of truth unraveling in this country, a pointed and well crafted prayer designed to function for the highest good, is put forth; use it like a prayer wheel.


The Prayer

Being that we are all intimately connected by our common inheritance of shared life on one planet and that our common shared higher intelligence governs life in both seen and unseen ways, and being that this common ancestry has its roots in cosmic intelligence or mind, and being that we therefore incarnate with this shared higher intelligence, we share its creative power as well. We are imbued with this creativity and its commonality.

As an outlet, voice, individual manifestation and aspiration for this cosmic intelligence, I claim the highest thought of calling forth truth telling on an unprecedented scale in the minds and hearts in high levels of government and other individuals. I call forth the energizing of personal courage where it matters the most to catalyze this movement of truth telling on a grand scale. I know that truth telling is at the foundation of healthy individual as well as a healthy societal life. I know that what has gone astray can be righted by a personal and public, fearless embrace of the truth, with safety for the truth teller.. The deepest space in the heart of all people knows this to be true and wants it revealed without delay. The refined and subtle physics for this is already in place and happening at this moment.

For this I give my deepest and profoundest thanks.
I release this prayer this intention this shared spark of light into the creative mind running through us all and through all of life. Happily, I know the glory of its fulfillment is accomplished already in ways unimaginable and realizable.

And so it is.

Burning Man Recent Feedback From Laughing Squid

I picked this up at http://laughingsquid.com/burning-man-protest-protested-by-burning-man-protesters/

This was the original post that set this off. The issue doesn't seem to be going away.

Today, Feb. 18, 2007, a few workers, some with their heads covered by paper bags, staged a small demonstration outside of Burning Man headquarters in San Francisco to protest what they say are reductions in pay, forced "death waivers" and lack of adequate health care for the workers who primarily clean the desert up after the Burning Man event.

Many people who are whistle blowers have a grudge against the corporation they work for. The point here is that Burning Man is now a large theatrical production, akin to a haunted house or other participatory theater event. They are a legal entity that has a large impact on our economy and the culture. This is a big responsibility.

It seems that there are legitimate concerns about their labor practices and treatment of workers. This is not the kind of thing an organization should try to sidestep. If this is the first time these concerns have been raised, they should confront them in public, through a public process. Any organization that has workers needs to abide by a minimum code of ethics and standards because they are responsible for the health and wellbeing of their people—independent contractor or not.

Any time you have this many people participating in an event, bad things will happen. That is not the problem. The problem arises when the organization responsible for the infrastructure of the event handles these bad things in an immoral way. It seems that there is enough information, based on the above comments, to warrant further investigation of the labor practices of Burning Man.

The event is very fun, and the majority of the people are good folks who want to have a good time. Burning Man (the organization) shouldn’t create an environment where worker injuries, workplace safety issues, unfair pay and unfair employment practices interfere with the running of a healthy culture/business.

Birds of Gallinas Creek

We didn't film any clapper rails this 16th day of February, 2007, but we did capture some of the variety of bird life on the creek near the proposed site of a giant indoor soccer complex & outdoor baseball field. The serenity and wildlife habitat of this locale begs for a more sensitive treatment of the land.

Clapper Rail at Upper Reach of Gallinas Creek

On February 28th, a clapper rail was sighted feeding near the boat docks near Mark Twain St in San Rafael. This is part of the ongoing clapper rail video project.

off to hidden realms

The pope goes off to hidden realms
where effects like snow tumble out of unrealized dreams
that dream and think
forms of electrical energy
sending impressions over the highway of the brain
from whence to where.
his god in a far away castle
waits for his return
when did he leave? could he be so small to fit into a hat box? a shoe box
an ash box blown through deserts impeccable in stillness and night.
what thinking goes on in the brain turned ashes what thought traces through the alleyways of carbon
burnt with last impressions
last thoughts
electricity burnt spark fills the air with ions
ionization canonization
flowers officiate at the ceremony of sainthood internal
though that be unperceived.
what spark burnt particle atomic simplicity thinks the last thought
the thought that counts and keeps counting like a heart beat
a thought beats back and forth in silence silenced
who says
the final thought
says hello.
hello, shall we begin?

Clapper Rails at Gallinas Creek Jan 20, 2007

On January 20, 2007 at N 38.00.54.7 W 122. 31.32.7

John Parulis of brightpathvideo.com continued with a detailed video documentation of California clapper rail sightings across from the proposed site of an indoor monster sports complex on the north fork of Gallinas Creek in San Rafael, California.

This day saw the furthest eastward movements of the elusive birds across from the busy, mysterious excavation of an overflow pump house at the airport/proposed soccer site.

The recent appearance of a new array of bright landing lights for the airport runway (the runway runs adjacent to the proposed soccer complex) is provocative. Concerned neighbors’ emails to San Rafael officials about this activity have so far gone unanswered.

The Birth of Rain

The Birth of Rain

Bathes small birds, fills tropical oceans, washes away bridges, nurtures red flowers, sparkles on green grasses, pulls down great hills, pushes over houses, refreshes fawns, feeds algae, grants puddles to children, cleans the whole earth body, makes wet leaf carpets, sings on tin roofs, hisses (steams) on summer sidewalks, halts baseball games and picnics, rushes rivers, breaks high stone walls, brings people together in doorways, all this great imagining, born vast in eternal mind.


God Owns

God owns Bosnia. God owns Persian cats and dark chocolate. God owns plutonium. God owns rainbows. God owns polyester. God owns stained glass windows. God owns rats and cockroaches. God owns poodles. God owns capitalism and communism and corporate raiders and God owns Rhinocerous water pistols. God owns orchids and pansies. God owns boils and Hunta virus. God owns all my clothes. God owns Tammy Faye Baker’s mascara. God owns Imelda Marcos’ shoes. God owns automatic weapons. God owns orgasms and herpes. God owns my lovers lips and tongue and my clitoris. God owns Kleenex and styrofoam. God owns oil tankers, poisoned birds and boogie boards. God owns shetland ponies. God owns razor blades and Prozak. God owns all the trees everywhere. God owns the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary and all the words in it. God owns particle accelerators. God owns black holes and jelly donuts. God owns all the alligator pocketbooks. God owns bells, church bells, dinner bells, school bells, sleigh bells, Taco Bells. God owns geese honking, crows cackling, cranes taking flight.
