The Temple of a HIGHER SOMETHING

I will show my search for a belief.
I will criticize the antiquated religions.
I will search for a new dimension of human life with a religion.
A life, ruled, not only by reason and logistic demands.
To keep on believing in an utopia, although reality slaps you in the face each time.
Faith makes you strong, even if there is no hope you keep on doing.
I will find a post globalization religion, a post apocalyptic religion, a special religion just made for our time, for our needs.
a religion with some progressive commandments.
At the end I will show that it is good to have one's own faith, even if it is the belief in art.

Holy HIGHER SOMETHING

All the false prophets and gurus must go directly to hell!
Is this our future?
The old religions have failed. They ruled the world for a long time, but mankind didn’t change at all.

The world will change soon.
You will bring the humans to the next level.

The blind will see.
You will bring clearness
Before the next religious world war will breakout.
You have to lead us to a higher consciousness.
We think, we are a far developed species, but without our technology we are primitive like in the stone age.
We need a new prospective from outer space!
We all have to believe in you!
Holy HIGHER SOMETHING!
We need to believe, a human being needs his own faith.
A lot of us lost our belief and our good sense too.
Our only pursuit is our economical fulfillment.
Or we are running in a fanatic insanity in our own total ruin, taking thousands of people to death.
We need your salvation!
I need your salvation!
Holy HIGHER SOMETHING!

Your face, holy HIGHER SOMETHING, seems for me so new, your religion so progressive.
You will bring peace and union to the planet.
You come from a foreign world.

The false prophets and the eternal crabbers will grow silent if your sparkling face will appear.

You will lead me through the darkness of the worlds night
Holy HIGHER SOMETHING!
I believe in you.
My belief is strong.
I am waiting for your arriving.
I will build you your own sphere
For the new alien religion.
I will celebrate the new religion.
I will go around the planet and tell all people that your coming is near.
I will be your ambassador, your prophet on earth.

PREFACE

Close to the devil, far to god, the good and evil.
The good life, the value of human life.
What is it really worth to be done?
Sitting under a tree while thinking?
Without compromise, without hurts, without selling yourself for less than 50%.
Is it possible to keep your own mind, to stay strong, to stay straight without quitting your work?

What does it mean simple life?
Sometimes it is probably really more worthwhile to do nothing, than to do anything.
We really have to look back in history to understand the present and the future.
What could a contemporary prophet say to his believers?

Think at the core, - the essential, - the whole.
Don’t lose your way.
Don’t be led to temptation,
narrow – mindedness, hard heartedness, greed for profit or boundless egoism.
The lack of a general idea.
Money is not a medium for oppression.
They cannot look far enough.
It is rare to find wise people at the top of the leadership.
A lot of them are imprinted by hate and by wrong insane faith.
They have lost their ideals.
An army of vegetating unconscious zombies.

To know what happens on the planet is important.
We as individuals react and interact to the mankind and the earth.
We have found our opinion, consciousness and prospective.
We have to deal with the situation of nowadays.
We are contemporary artists and we live now.
And now is still our position of doing.
We all cannot look into the future , but we have a kind of impression of what could happen.
Our role is to do as much as possible to manipulate the day of tomorrow, the next day.
MANIPULATE THE NEXT DAY!
We are always in a special situation, with a typical environment.
Sometimes everything is great and wonderful and you cannot even imagine the dark side.
You are overwhelmed by the beauty of nature, or just by the fact of being alive.
The other side is, you feel uncomfortable in your body, you are disappointed of the world, -situation, -social environment.
You are forced by bad thoughts, emotions, you just stick in your mind and you cannot think on the bright side.
Then you cannot just enjoy living.
The fight for survival is sitting in your neck.
Your mind is badly infected and full of pollution.
The pollution of human thoughts is much worse than the pollution of the terrestrial environment. It is the cause of a lot of problems.
Jumping between brightness and darkness. Hunting the last ray of the sun or the last rain drop, always thinking what a fucking mercy of the HIGHER SOMETHING that I am alive and on earth.
