Raw Visions
Day-Dreaming DreamTime
Centered in the bush of young olive trees. Pulling my didjeridoo. Breathing through the end-
less cycle of “circular” breathing. Breath in. Harmonics. Breath out. Harmonics. Vibrations
shaking my whole body. The drone of my lips pervading every part of my Being. Going Alpha.
Despite its primitive appeareance, the Didjeridoo is a high technology device. A human
oscillator way better than all the Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) of sophisticated syn-
thesizers and electronic devices. It is time to talk about the connection between Human
Mind and Wave Patterns. Playing didjeridoo harmonics has the power to bring me to other
state of consciousness. A TRIBAL REALITIES State of Conosciousness, actually. Our minds
constantly emit several wave patterns, with different frequencies. How fast are these vi-
brations? The lowest vibration perceived by an adult human is about twenty times a sec-
ond - which our brain interprets as a BASS type sound. The highest vibration we per-
ceive is many thousands of times a second - which our brain interprets as an extreme
TREBLE type sound. It is the number of vibrations in a given time that determines the
pitch of a sound. This is the reason that pitch is sometimes referred to as frequency. It
is the frequency of the waveform peaks which are counted during a given period of time.
Generally speaking, standard range of audible frequencies is 20 to 20,000 Hertz or Hz . What
about the frequencies below 20 Hz? We cannot hear them but we can “feel” them. Our usual
state of mind is called the Beta state. Beta waves are present when a person is interacting with
the surrounding environment, and is concentrating, thinking, or solving problems. When I
follow my Guru instructions and I successfully start ‘to tame my monkey mind’, the dominance
of Beta waves (13-40 Hz) is replaced by Alpha waves with a frequency of 8-12 Hz. Alpha
waves represent a mental state of rest and focus, yielding increased capabilities for creativity.
Being Alpha. Darkness. Feeling my breathing cycle. Expanding. Expanding. Expanding. Ser-
pent of Lights. Going Theta (4-7 Hz): Day-Dreaming. A wise Elder. Smiling. He is coming
to teach me The Way. Pointing at me, He said “Tjukurpa”. Showing me The Way to Tjukurpa.
Waving his hand. Delta waves (0.5-3 Hz). I see the Light of Intuition and Deep Meditation.
Uluru. I see Uluru.
The Monolith of Changing Colours. Uluru, The Sacred. Uluru, The Space-Ship. Uluru, The
Dimensional Door to the “Time Before Time” when Ancestral Beings created the world.
This time is called Tjukurpa by the Pitjantjatjara people from the north-west of South
Australia. This “Creation Time” is known to non-Aboriginal people as the ‘Dreamtime’.
Uluru is the Serpent of Lights. The Spiral of Energy Creating the Whole Universe.
Enjoy the Bliss of the Vision. I am gonna learn The Way.
Then, the wise Elder told me: “Now, go back and tell them about It”.

I am a Channeller. Spirits talk to me. I am a Shaman. I talk to Spirits. From the other
Side of The Gate. Live. She came and visited me. Her Energy was soft yet steady as
a rock. Positive vibes of a Noble Soul. “Deliver my Message” - she told me - “through
effective media”. Her name is Mrs Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was a black seamstress by
profession and secretary for the Montgomery chapter of the The National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) - a “civil rights organization
for ethnic minorities in the united States”. On Thursday, December 1st, 1955 she was
charged for violating racial segregation laws in Montgomery, Alabama, after refus-
ing to give her seat on a bus to a white man. Break the law, before the law breaks you.
“I knew someone had to

take the first step and I
Such an episode got a different aftertaste in the days of the 2010 FIFA World Cup
South Africa. Naturally, in these days Africa is the very center of global attention. We
are all part of the football euphoria, blowing through vuvuzela horns, enjoying spec-
tacular games. We learn about African culture, hopefully beyond stereotypes. At the
same time several old issues (both African and Glocal) appear under a New Light: rac-
ism, segregation, apartheid (i.e. apart-hate) civil rights, human rights. My mission as
a Channeller/Shaman: deliver again Rosa Parks’ powerful message of serene and
steady opposition to unfair laws and sub-human behaviours. Effective media? Sub-
human behaviours? Two questions with one single answer: DUBSTEP. Yes, Indeed. Al-
mighty sub-bass linez to disintegrate sub-human behaviours. For “Time has Just Come!”

A savage fusion of jazz, funk, rock

Who go want take coffin? make you shake and shout from the

And watching a couple of matches

I Sing and Dance and strangers greet me because of that. People consider me a
friend, and feel that they know me because of that. Some don’t even know my name.
“The Woman Who Knows How to Dance” - they call me that.
She is the finest dancer in the village. Her distinctive personality shaped her life
of liberty. Her persona, her music, her dance steps, her special accessories and
her quirks. Among the Baule people (Côte d’Ivoire), many individuals have inti-
mate relationships with artworks - and with the spirits who dwell in such objects.
An exclusive relationship, connecting one single person with one single work of art.
Therefore this portrait mask of a woman is a virtual alter ego. Ah yes, indeed... An object
of art, and sometime the Spirits it houses, may be an individual’s very double. Whenever
this portrait mask of a woman, the woman who is its “double” dances with it. Right in
front of you. She Dances the Essence of Life! se jounrney into the reality of Love.I was

“Maui became restless and fought the sun
With a noose that he laid.
And winter won the sun,
And summer was won by Maui.”

Kia Ora! I’ve been always enchanted by ancestral tales from ancient civilizations.
This is why I am a Peter Gossage fan! Peter Gossage is an artist, author and illustra-
tor from Auckland, Aotearoa aka The Land of the Long White Cloud aka New Zea-
land. He is a storyteller. He writes children’s books. He is teaching the old ways to
the young ones. Peter Gossage is sharing with the whole world the story of Maui.
And how He slowed Te Ra, The Sun. I stumbled upon a brilliant animation of this an-
cient narrative. I was captivated and charmed. Watch it and tell me your opinion.

Humans are treating

me so bad
and I dunno why.
I gave them All My
Body.
I gave them All My

Heart.
They hate me.
I cry my tears of Water and Fire.

As I shake with sorrow, My Winds
blow strong.
I cannot hate humans, for I am their Mother.

I am a Shaman, painting Visions. Leveraging the Powers of word_music_video_art, I
guide Rare Souls to their own destinations. Are You One of Them? Beyond the reduc-
tionist-cartesian paradigm, I create Spaces of Trascendence giving voice to Human
Being’s pristine desire: going beyod the physical body, towards Higher Levels of Con-
sciousness. I explore trans-personal dynamics, depict enlightning experiences, tak-
ing part into the Vibrant Dance of the Universe: the Simultaneous and Multiple Unity.
My Art is Magic, because it mediates between the Natural and the SuperNatural.
Are You Ready for some Magic in Your Life?
