Ezekiel

Ezekiel had a vision of Seraphim around the throne of God. Each faced four directions at once. One face was like a man, another like a lion, another like a bull, and the last like an eagle. The Seraphim did not turn, and the direction the Seraphim moved, that face was forward. It is much easier to conceive the words than to draw the vision, for like the mind, visions are not limited by the physics of physical reality. The artist often is trying to express visually a perception that is more all in compassing than so-called reality. As Shakespeare wrote, "..there is more in the world than in your philosophy, Horacio."

8th Day

The 8th day is often referred to as the resurrection day in Christian ideology. The concept of resurrection goes far back into human history. One legend is of the Pheonix, a bird that died in fire every thousand years and was reborn out of the ashes, and then there are the eastern religions with their beliefs in the rebirth of the soul though many life times. But there is another type of resurrection called 'starting over', when an individual has lost everything and begins again to build another life in this world. This modern world, the new world order, with its computers and tracking methods, is destroying rebirth in this world. Just as the resurrection of Christ was the defeat of the law then, so when a person casts away his old life and manages to begin again, it is the defeat of the law now. The Law does not like resurrection, for the power of Law is sin and death.

TECHNOFLOWER

The biggest problem with technology is that its practitioners are trying to make a new and improved version of nature. I call this "white bread" science. The wheat is taken, stripped of its husk and kernel, hot milled into a flour in a process that destroys forty some known vitamins and nutrients, and then the manufacturer adds a handful of vitamins and calls the bread "enriched". Yet it is not enriched at all. In the end, the world will be turned into a grinder and man will just be grist for the mill.
