What holds your hopes together?
And peace porn…
I'm torn about whether I should openly share the full details of a particular project I'm currently immersed in. This stems from the understanding that many projects and rituals often don't come to fruition.
This sentiment is familiar to many writers and artists.
For instance, a feature I was preparing for full production in August got pushed back to summer 2025. Additionally, the project I'm currently focusing on for the summer is a feature.
My current creative focus revolves around cultivating a space where nuance and wildness can flourish. I'm not inclined to produce work within the confines of the existing system available to filmmakers and artists.
My ambition isn't to have my next film featured on streaming platforms. Instead, I aspire to create something with a distinct value system, as my artistic successes have primarily stemmed from direct connections. Unfortunately, the contemporary film industry seems to prioritize anything but direct connection.
The only recent film that resonated with me in this regard was "Perfect Day," a reflection on simple existence—a form of Peace Porn for those caught in the perpetual cycle of busyness and seeking.
Coincidentally, as if by magic, I've just received an email regarding an urgent matter that requires my attention.
I'm heading into the woods for a ritual this weekend, and I look forward to discussing this further next week. And this has gone in a new direction.
Feeling content, overwhelmed, and happy.
As I contemplate the year ahead, I find myself reflecting on the interplay between the teachings of Neville Goddard and their connection to ritual art and the philosophy of New Thought.
While I won't delve into the intricacies of New Thought here, let's just say it serves as a precursor to the concept of Manifesting, which has inundated modern life recently.
Wouldn’t it be fucking hilarious if this is the true precursor of the eschaton?
Always be immanentizing the eschaton.
