Iona Miller's NETzach Art Gallery: "Showing Live"

Netzach is usually translated as Victory, but it also means clarity or brightness, such as sincerity and truth, or perfection and glory. We develop our creative imagination to see through through things clearly, including luminous works of art.

In the art of Qabalah, NETZACH is the the realm of creative imagination, affect, aesthetic arrest. It also means clarity, brightness, sincerity, and truth. It is the sphere of meaning, divine beauty, the inner glow that results from the merging of human and divine. Art reflects the cosmic creative process.The evolution of art mirrors our liberation from time, space and personality. No longer bound by normal sensory frames, we are removed from time and desire.

Through the magick of art we give birth to our vision of reality. This imaginal reality has the occult or hidden ability to radically transform us. Art is the secret of the secret art. We gain independence through the construction of images in both science and art. Art is therapeutic magic. It mediates the Great Unknown through the power of self-expression as the inner becomes the outer. We turn ourselves inside-out.

We are works of art. Our consciousness is a formative power which grows stronger when we aspire toward artful living with increasing devotion and passionate intensity. When we keep knocking at that door, we realize our inspirations. There is a resonate feedback loop that intensifies the process enough to keep desire alive through dry periods.

We can immerse ourselves in the imaginative process at will. Image crafting is a metaphysical art. Rhythm is the essence of that art. In fallow periods, we incubate. We plumb our depths with the perceptual field independence of a mystic. Art is an aesthetic mystical experience.

Art is an upwelling. Creativity is a constant. Netzach is the sphere of fire on the mental plane, psychosensory enrichment, including symbolic awareness. It means "remembrance" but with more acute realization than ever before. The goal is kept before the mind's eye with imagery. Creative imagination is the force which transforms spiritual energies into manifestation, making the concealed reality visible. We have intuitive access to the collective pool and to our cultural destiny. We discover our originality.

Art expands our consciousness. It can be prophetic. Imagination flows through us, welling up from our core. Netzach brings stabilization and experiential realization that we are vehicles for creative process. A series of realizations accelerates artistic development. Living from love, we enter more fully into the stream of higher consciousness which pulls us along in its current -- the flow state. We become more creative and appreciative of beauty.

Artistry is the result of a renewed ability to perceive and express harmony, proportion, and balance. In Netzach, we learn to refine our mental images by loving them into being. We also blossom under the influence of the creative process. Mental and emotional, cognitive and affective processes are harmonized and stabilized and the 25th Path of Art opens.

Higher art must be intensely personal while being universal and universally accessible. It must show refined knowledge, understanding and respect for the art that has come before to enrich those around us. Much the same can be said for an artfully and heartfully lived life. We can apply a similar strategy to our spirituality, drawing on the best of what the past offers while keeping our practice and service contemporary and relevant. Our lives become multidimensional artful expressions without frames, embodied in living Light. Process-oriented spirituality is an art that is eclectic and intensely personal.

"Art provides a new SC [sensory closure] before technology provides a new SI [sensory input]. Art is not only ahead of its time but provides the indispensable corrective for the impact of technology on human sensibility. For the new SI is ordinary provided with old SC in our psychological set or conditioning.…And when we use old SC for new SI we enter a schizoid state." --Marshall McLuhan

"I am curious to know what would happen if art were suddenly seen for what it is, namely, exact information of how to rearrange one's psyche in order to anticipate the next blow from our own extended faculties..." --Marshall McLuhan

"The artist picks up the message of cultural and technical challenge decades before its transforming impact occurs. He, then, builds models or Noah's arks for facing the change that is ahead." --Marshall McLuhan

Art, or the graphic translation of a culture, is shaped by the way space is perceived. Primitive and pre-alphabetic people integrate time and space as one and live in an acoustic, horizonless, boundless, olfactory space, rather than in visual space. Their graphic presentation is like an x-ray. They put in everything they know, rather than only what they see. …Electric circuitry is recreating in us the multidimensional space orientation of the "primitive." --Marshall McLuhan

"The new media are not ways of relating to us the "real" world; they are the real world and they reshape what remains of the old world at will." --Marshall McLuhan

FREE RADICAL: Iona Miller, consultant and transdisciplinarian, is a nonfiction writer for the academic and popular press, hypnotherapist (ACHE) and multimedia artist. Her work is an omnisensory fusion of sacred activism, intelligence reform, esoterics, science-art, chaos theory, plenum physics, and emergent paradigm shift melding experiential psychotherapy, new physics, biophysics, resonant space, philosophy, cosmology, healing, creativity, qabalah, magick, paranormal, media ecology, mind control, paramedia, metaphysics, and cultural filters.

CHANGE AGENT: Rather than having an interest in specific doctrines, she is interested in the transformations, the EFFECTS of doctrines from religion, science, psychology, politics and the arts. Our beliefs are the moldable raw material of the psyche, manipulated by governments, media and culture. How do we become what we are and how is that process changing in the near future?

“The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is 'man' in a higher sense - he is 'collective man,' a vehicle and molder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind.” (Carl Jung, Psychology and Literature, 1930)

"Chaos is the law of nature; order is the dream of man."
--Henry Brooks Adams

Artistic expression offers self-indulgent permission for virtually mythical living. Anyone can broadcast their own reality. We now provide our own content rather than passively consume predigested media pablum and disinformation. Lack of talent or inability to play is no disqualifier; particpants are nominated and elected by themselves only. We may give wildly different names to these substructural alters than those from the normal classifications of art. Our multitudinous personae are cyborg hybrids spawned in hidden hothouses.

The artist is perhaps the main contemporary exponent of the chaotic/creative edge, especially those comitted to performance, underground, transgressive, sexual art or culture jamming. The thread of sexuality is woven through the whole cultural history of art. When order becomes too rigid, atavistic forces of entropy arise to dissolve that outworn system back into chaos for creative restructuring. This is nature’s way. And the artist’s way. Artists open us to radically new environmenments here and now.

Art gives form to the apparitions of our imaginations, and one of the most imaginative is the erotic form, expression of the erotic impulse, or raw libido. Both art and eroticism are forms of the epitome of human life, expressions of insight and deep feeling. Sexuality is one way of inducing ecstatic states that alter perception dramatically. It is simultaneously and paradoxically ordinary yet extraordinary. It embodies the very essence of dramatic tension, a finite act with infinite repercussions. Beyond this we find elements of complexity, death, spirituality and science, and most importantly the intellectual interwoven.

In Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan conjectured, "If men were able to be convinced that art is precise advance knowledge of how to cope with the psychic and social consequences of the next technology, would they all become artists? Or would they begin a careful translation of new art forms into social navigation charts? I am curious to know what would happen if art were suddenly seen for what it is, namely, exact information of how to rearrange one's psyche in order to anticipate the next blow from our own extended faculties."

Artists are the chaotic attractors of the social field. While conventional artists may enjoy great favor, the ‘strange attractors,’ including leading edge and extreme artists have a special role as catalysts in contemporary life. Artists have always drawn others beyond the limits of their ordinary awareness, confronting them with another reality -- mysterious, paranormal, occult and clandestine worlds -- initiating them into worlds of profound meaning without conventional boundaries.

The artistic life is a chaotic arc of inspiration upon inspiration, following the Muse. Artists walk what for others is ‘the road not taken" (chaos theory's bifurcation or forking of the way) sometimes going "where angels fear to tread." Their charismatic influence pulls others into their orbits, and the small effect of one personality potentially spreads its influence over the world, sometimes over history. It is a matter of applying leverage at the most strategic point to pump up small forces into macroscopic effects. The history of art is one of the richest threads of our cultural heritage.

ART AS META-SYN: Art can be therapeutic, both in the process of creation and for the viewer who reacts from personal associations. Art bares the soul, and provides a container for unbridled self-expression. High synergy is a differentiating characteristic of the nonagressive and secure. Beyond synergy is negentropy, the flow of creative connection. Symbolic art has both an emotional and cognitive content. Metaphysical art draws on the multicultural iconography, not only of the globe, but of the Beyond. At its best it embodies and reveal the indomitable human Spirit.

Any depth psychologist or therapist knows that the stories they hear from most of their clients fall into very few, quite typical tales. What we need are bigger stories to guide us in our complex world. We can enlarge our perspective from the individual to the global through “bigger stories”, such as those from our wisdom traditions.

Mythopoesis means literally, "myth-making," the natural expression of the visionary wisdom inborn to the human species (Lash, et al). It is a creative act of story-telling or narration, by which human beings "track" their experience and orient themselves to the cosmos at large.

Metahistory is a guiding narrative for human potential, rather than an interpretation of events. The cross-cultural metastory of the human species is an overarching view of past, present, and future. It opens a path toward participation in a story that leads beyond history, a mythos to guide the species.

KNOW BROW ART
http://knowbrowart.50megs.com

Neither High-brow nor Low-Brow, the Electronic Arts are "KNOW-Brow Art" born of our fusion with technology. In the middle of the forehead, neither high nor low is the Third Eye of inner or visionary sight. Electronic arts, by their very nature, require a great deal of technical knowledge to interface with computer-assisted media. They also provide intuition with a facility no other medium offers. Know Brow art respects and draws from both classical art and that of the underground or street. Digital Media include still frames, Hi-Def movies, Flash, and desktop movies, often incorporated with other media, web media, installation, and performance.
