The Age of Fear

Where are the mediums in which those who oppose the way things are can speak out? Are the technologies that are becoming more and more accessible creating more mediums for protest? Or are these mediums only available to poeple who are generally not in a position to oppose. Is it not mostly the privlidged who are have access?

Are the walls of our cities one of the last battlegrounds? Is our art our speech. Where are the deviants? Where is their voice, where are the renagades, the outspoken masses? Are we really happy with the state of affairs? Is there not a overriding sense of guilt in the day to day lives, knowing full well that our lifestyle is at someone else expense.

How controlled are we? How dosile have we become?

How can we free our spirits if we live in fear?

Lovers and Dreamers

On the faces of the people I see, the faces that pass me, I see an uncertainty, I see doubt.
Look to the hills, look up high, look past the buildings, past the clouds, past the world that?s passes you by.
Look for hope in the people you meet, look for positivity.
Seek out the world you want to live in, don't doubt it is there.
Seek out the world you want to believe in, don't doubt it is here.
Seek out the dream you want to live in, and dream, dream out loud.

The Elements: KNOWLEDGE (PART ONE)

KNOWLEDGE, TRUTH, DISCOVERY

"The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery." - Anais Nin

It is not always a matter of truth, but of discovery. It is not always an issue of finding only one definiation, but creating a new spectrum of possibility. It is not an end, but a means to something that may open into infinite new endings.

KNOWLEDGE AND REALITY

"The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." - Eden Phillpotts

Knowledge is restained by what we believe. Restained by what we ourselves restrict ourselves with. Here, in The Movement, we are bound by a distinct set of boundries. Given The Movement can only be discovered through admitting it's existence to ourselves, The Movement itself becomes known, or acknowledged to only its members and players. It's meaning can only be found in what we understand it to be.

KNOWLEDGE AND THE MOVEMENT

What is knowledge to The Movement...? It is only what we know of our own world, of the social context in which we find ourselves, in the climate of the times which surround us, our knowldege is bound by the streets we walk, the information that we consume in every aspect of our lives. Our knowledge is bound by the influences we infect ourselves with, the items we choose to see, the writing we read from the walls, the itelligance we choose to form as a social consciousness.

SYSTEMS INTELLIGANCE:

A Systems Intelligent person, group or an organization:

-sees the whole world around themselves be made of a complex web of interacting systems
-engages themselves into the holistic feedback mechanism of the environment and evokes productivity and success in their task
-sees the environment as feedback intensive, and manages to act intelligently in it
-interacts with the environment in a way that makes minor corrections in the systems, generating huge effects due to the nonlinearity of the system

SOCIAL KNOWLEDGE AND MOVEMENTS

The Movement relates to both individual reltationships with knowledge, and collectives. For it is assumed that communities of many natures form intelligance systems, bonding knowledge to sitational understanding. Concepts of this generation, gathered from the streets, the walls, the technology, the backgrounds, the world around gather, combine, consentrate and move fluidly through the consciousness, as a system of understanding. This gives the Movement life.
