Disclaimer

This is a catch 22 of sorts since this book is committed to the glorification of love and beauty but it is also a seeker of truth. The truth that there are evil subversive forces in the world. The Glass Bead Game is the shining light amidst the darkness. This book wants to emphasize the beauty but does not shy away from the harsh of facts of evil as well. The production of this book is for artistic purposes only.

Upanishads

Love

Truth

The spirt

Consciousness

The atman

The self

The sweetness of the flowers

Beyond fear

The god of creation

This is that

The god of infinity

Born from the elements

Seed of life in the womb of a mother

A mother’s love

This is that

What is here is also there

Who sees the many but not the one wanders on from death to death

He who sees variety without the unity wanders on from death to death

The soul of the sage who knows

Riviera Maya

Here we are again on our flight to Riviera Maya to write the book Infinite Maya. These are the greatest joys since it allows for the escape from the ills of the world. It is a fantasy trip of sorts. It is an illusion of fantasy within the illusion of reality. A trip to visit the ancient Mayan culture is fitting since they were a successful civilization from 300 to 900 A.D. in which they thrived in architecture, city planning, mathematics, and a hieroglyphic writing system. The Hindu and Buddhist interpretation of Maya is that it is the image of the illusionary world. If you look at the inside cover of this book you see the clash of civilizations. The peaceful Mayan warrior with a stick club fighting off the advanced civilization of the Spanish conquistador with a sharp sword. This is another example of the evil world in which we live where completely peaceful loving people get invaded by terrible ruthless people to take over their land and culture. It is how hate overtakes love in the real world. It is so sad. This world that god created in which the dominate rule is the survival of the fittest. The history of the world is one of wars. Of terrible atrocities. So sad. Not the way a world should be created. Especially by an all loving and powerful god. The Divine Artist could do so much better.

The world today is no better. We have great tension in the world on every level. It is as was stated in the Heart of Darkness. The evil of greed, colonization, and globalization is everywhere. People as a general rule are not free to pursue their dreams without the interference of evil forces and people in the world who want to control you. It is the 1984 big brother nature of the world in which insidious forces and subliminal messaging is influencing and tracking your thoughts and actions at all times. From a very early age we all learn the word No for what starts out to be a mere safety mechanism but quickly turns into an indoctrination tool by our education system, the fake news of the media, our social norms, and our legal system. To a great extent we are not taught the word Yes which is what can take us to great heights in the world. We are taught the word No to our freedoms and greatest desires.

This book is a stream of consciousness of Ulysses in which all of the ideas of The Divine Artist can be expressed. Similar to that of poetry yet without being all that poetic. It is profound and isn’t in a way. It is one of those greatest historical documents that will forever be preserved in the history of the world. Hidden from the world yet eternally present. This book like all the rest of the great works of the world were destined to be. There could be no other way. Once the big bang occurred all of the subsequent events were omnisciently known and pre-determined. All of our thoughts no matter how complicated. All of our free wills no matter how free. All of the evils. All of the love and beauty. How could that be but it is true. Determinism is truth in the discrete concrete world. Like billiard balls. Cause and effect. But, who is the grand mover? Who is that first thought? What is the first mind that contains all of the other thoughts? It is The Divine Artist. It’s True. Since that mind contains all of the other thoughts and relevant events it is the only solipsistic explanation of it all. It’s all in the mind. That is where everything resides. It is all Maya. Illusion. The Grand Illusion. That’s what this trip by The Divine Artist and Cathion is all about. It is to find that illusion in the most glorious way. The most artist way. To discover the beauty and love of the world for without that we are left back in that evil world were suffering occurs. Where people suffer from diabetes, obsessions and various forms of insanity. Let alone all of the other really tragic things like the idiot state torturing and killing their infidels in the most gruesome ways. Or, random acts of senseless suffering of baby’s being aborted or innocent people dying in house fires or being swept away in hurricanes. Some done by the free choices of people and other events occurring for no random reason at all. All one grand accident of sorts.

Our trip to Riviera Maya is of ultimate importance since we have discovered many important things. We were able to go Zip Lining over the jungle which is something that I thought that I could never do since I have such a great fear of heights. The last time I drove up to the top of the mountain on in Aloha Spirit in the middle of the night I thought that I was going to die. I said to myself that I would never go up a mountain again. Ironically, I was able to go up again with my entire family on a very important mission only two days later. These phobias are almost impossible to overcome since once your subconscious mind takes over there is nothing that your conscious logical mind can do to stop the debilitating emotions that take over. It is the strangest thing. It is a form of insanity and sanity. Sanity since it is a very real fear that you may fall to your death but also an insane fear since it most likely isn’t going to happen since you have built in safety mechanisms which will do everything it takes to stay alive. The weirdest thing of it all is that once your emotions take over you don’t have the capacity to control your own motor functions. This is something that you could never fully explain to someone who doesn’t share this fear. G. Gordon Liddy in Will said that there is only one way to overcome an irrational fear and that is to face it head on. He was afraid of rats so he decided to kill one and eat it which cured him. No one has greater will than G. Gordon Liddy and that is why he is being inducted to the Glass Bead Game right here right now. He has taught me so much about living in reality. He is right there on par with Ayn Rand, Aristotle, and Alexander the Great. The most prominent realists of all time. This trip to Riviera Maya was extremely important since I was able to go zip lining. My fear of heights was overcome to a great extent. I didn’t think that I was going to make it. After walking up a large tower for the first zip line event I did turn around at one point and decide that I wasn’t going to do it. Cathion went before me as did many others and they all survived, some as they winged along screaming at the top of their lungs. There was one very important factor that allowed me to do it though. I was strapped in and didn’t have to physically do anything. I was able to lay back in security so to speak and only stare at the sky. I could never had looked down before being strapped in before that final launch. I didn’t have the guts of Lady Gaga to jump off a stadium. I didn’t have the nerve of the Red Bull Man to jump out of a satellite and fly to earth without his parachute open until the last moment to bring him to safety. That was one of the greatest feats maybe ever. I would surely pass out if I had to be the one to pull the chord. Or, the ones that jump off mountains with little man made wings and fly down mountains and across caverns. The true guts and balls. The nerve. It is as Andre Gregory described about the near-death experiences that make you feel truly alive. Like when he was ceremonially buried alive by a group of his crazy like-minded artist colleagues off in a distant land. That’s what makes life extremely interesting. If you could only live like that every day. Andre said most people wouldn’t have the energy to do something like that. For one, you get bogged down in worry about the concern for failure before you ever get out of the starting gate. Also, you don’t have faith in yourself that you have the talent to accomplish something so great. The more you start
