In The Midnight Hour
Addam
Symbolism is the artist’s tool for expressing his “message”, and every
artist and street corner messiah has a “message”. But this is not a
message of salvation, this is a message of realization, that the drama
exists as part of our cultural condition:
“The fulfillment of Roles vs. the expression of Free Will.”
Or: ’the nature of Man vs. the man of Nature.”
Or: “the self (Actual) vs. the Self (fantasied)”
The medium is the artist’s vehicle; this medium’s crystal ball is a lens and
an iris upon a Lens and an Iris and a functioning Mythology that outlines in
detail the scripts of the Roles aforementioned. The subject is Beauty, the
indefinable quality that strikes a harmony deep within the soul chords of
our DNA strings. Human desire is the mirror to the human condition... or a
window to the collective experience where the Roles have played out to every
possible ending before.
It is up to us to adapt our weaknesses to become strengths; we seek
self-awareness (meaning) in the faces of others. We get angry when the
universe does not act according to our will (rather, when we are not acting
in accordance to the universal will, which is truly a Free Will), because
these Roles fill us with desires, promises of fulfillment... yet when we
acknowledge the Role, it loses power over us, we become the medium, as we
refine the process.
We stand naked, in Truth, and fascinated by the quality of the Light.
