TTT ISSUE #2 (YOU SHALL NOT BORE GOD)

Dear Stephan,
The phrase "You shall not bore God" you presented to us in your last letter is just marvellous; it never goes out from my head. I told it to the people around and everybody was fascinated! Did you invent it? I never heard it before. Whatever you have to make a great series of art pieces within this statement/topic.
I love this kind of exchange between souls,
Love
Gia

Hi Gia,
Not really, it is not mine it is the title of a chapter of a book about life and spirituality. I didn't read this book but was fascinated of this term too and like you said it should be THE motto for artists. In a deeper meaning it has a lot to do with questions concerning consciousness, evolution, being human and how we define this idea of "something called God" in a contemporary and non-religious way.
We should keep it always in mind and maybe we can work with it - hey it's a great title for a performance or exhibition too.
Yeah it's wonderful to stay in touch and share ideas and thoughts...
we keep it on-

Dear Stephan,
It s Gia. I want to add Rajneesh (one of those great guys - Indian sage) makes distinction between Religious feeling which is connected with institualisation of the authentic messages of the prophets (their adaptation towards social needs and public weaknesses) and Religiousness what is the unintentional gift which culture luckily made to human being due to creating gap/abyss between him and the nature. He advises to drop down feeling of Religious inside us (which is mostly built on fears, feeling of gilt and wish of obedience) and to cultivate Religiousness (to keep this unique capacity of human being detached from any kind of identifications) which is a purely creative force directed to everlastingly unfolding and growing Thirst (some people call this unconditioned love). All what was sad refers to the Dzen Buddistic saying when you see Buddha immediately kill Buddha; which means - what is seeable never can correspond to unlimited nature of the desired by us. That s why Religiousness is an everlasting Thirst the thirst without satisfaction is the ground for dynamism and ex-static, The Total Thirst (TTT) is able to cancel all the other time modes (past and present) and set real - endlessly opening future which is never associated with anything, future as a future and future - one never ending inhale, run from nowhere to somewhere, as birds when they are flying in the highest skies.


Hi dear Flo,
Where did you disappear? Is everything all right? Is it still everything active and boiling in Skowhegan? If not don t worry; at the beginning everybody is nervous and kin to present themselves to each other (to the foreign people) in the best way and begin to throw out (in to the public space) the most and the best things they collected in their life (thoughts, concepts, memories, fantasies) after while situation becomes more calmer and normal, people appear in their normality . The over hyper condition (when all power and all knowledge gathers and still strange energy inside of man outpacing all these) is a rarely presented in human s life and usually very soon is away. Unfortunately man s inner constitution is based on the principal of economy of energy that s why some inner rule always strongly tries to avoid man to dwell in ex-static conditions. This rule discovered Malevich and wrote pretty much about it. To fight with this constitution, which makes us just ordinary members of the spectacle, to overcome this economy in every possible sequence of time is a spiritual goal which on it s highest level means to find that magic outpacing energy which is based on The Total Thirst (TTT) for the every next coming second. This specific energy outpaces events, thoughts and emotions, abstracts them into one Running Future which has no inside static appearances like self, ego, mine that s why people in this condition look like beautiful beyond of beauty blessed, possessed with no graspable.

I am looking forward to hear from you my dear man,
Gia

The Total Thirst (TTT) is a result of the wrong look which is directed not to the phenomena but to the open sky where nothing is to grasp, to communicate, to be part of, to consume it is just a run (of objectless and aimless desire/love) within something widely open, which finishes (vanishes) with us or me.
