Towards a New Spirituality in Art
“The Remodernist Manifesto” by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson
We don’t need more dull, boring, brainless destruction of convention . . . We need an art that integrates body and soul and recognizes enduring and underlying principles which have sustained wisdom and insight throughout humanity’s history.

Suicide Dictionary: The History of Rainbow Abbey by Paul Lonely
The title is a bit misleading. Suicide Dictionary is a “contemporary Upanishads that captures the beauty of both western intellectuality and eastern (or mystical) spirituality in a single literary framework.”

Jonathan Zap: Oracle Cards
To use Jonathan’s ORACLE, go to http://www.zaporacle.com and click on the gold sphere at the top. Here are some quotes from the Oracle cards:
1. “The core of your relationships to people, sex, time, money, power, eating, politics, career, health, and spirituality is your relationship to yourself. Get that relationship right (a moment-by-moment challenge of epic proportions) and all those other relationships will be as good as they possibly can be. Omit, neglect, or distort any part of your relationship to yourself and all those other relationships will accordingly be diminished and distorted.”
2. “Find your spirit medicine and remember that what works for someone else, may not work for you (and vice-versa). Also what works for you when used consciously, sparingly, in just right the circumstances, might be disastrous as a habit.”
3. “The Warrior must be aware that the psyche is conservative in nature, preferring old, self-destructive neurotic patterns to the unknown. The Warrior must have the insight and determination to break those patterns, particularly those created by early childhood situations.”
4. “The liminal state is characterized by ambiguity, openness, and indeterminacy. One’s sense of identity dissolves to some extent, bringing about disorientation. Liminality is a period of transition where normal limits to thought, self-understanding, and behavior are relaxed — a situation which can lead to new perspectives.”
