This is a resonantly inspired love letter to remind all all of you of the luminous diamond hearts that I know in truth that you are. I offer a thousand lotus petal blessings from the core of my awakening heart for us all to open to the full spectrum of our consciousness now. The life that I am so blessed to experience is rapidly dismantling my limited shell of social conditioning to reveal my True identity. My True identity is not my name or my beliefs or even my body or senses. I know full well through my present felt experience that Divinity itself is at the core of this jewelled mandala at the center of Being. There is an exquisite polishing process taking place that is allowing me to intake and integrate a higher, more luminously grander spectrum of light. This may or may not make complete sense to you now, so if you do not hear my words, hear my heart; I am presently and eternally experiencing awakening on all levels of Being. It is an overwhelmingly glorious transfiguration. Like a a complete and total cellular regeneration from the quantum level out. It is the Great Love that binds all things and beings in this magnificent display of interdependance that is so undeniably found on every level of scale from the most minute microbial particle to the farthest reaches of interstellar forever, all completing the Great Universal Masterpiece that I am seeing. I am awakening here and now to this state of unity consciousness by seeing through the eyes of the heart and not through the lens of incessant chattering of mind and ego identity. My prayer from the deepest part of my being is to trigger into remembering this within yourselves. The exquisite display of continual synchronous magik that endlessly unfurls around me like fractal fern fronds blossoming into eternity is reaching such ridiculous levels. Unfathomably mind shattering synchronicities are the absolute standard in my life, to the point where there is now a trancendance of the state of stunned awe that I keep finding myself in. This is teaching priceless value in the recognition that it is my inner imagination of myself that is determining my experience of reality and what I attract to myself. All of my deep rooted fears, anxieties and insecurities that have locked themselves in my muscle memory are now and forever dissolving away from me to be replaced with an immovable crystal mountain of empowerment. This is the end of pain for me, right down to the quantum level. This meditation is allowing me to see ALL OF MYSELF, and truly love unconditionally every morsel of it. I am dissolving all aspects of consciousness that invests in the belief in limitation and scarcity. All of my greatest dreams and prayers are being answered by the source of creation itself with the finest of details. Ive mostly held back in sharing this divine communion I am having with Universal Spirit, but not any longer. It is so grounded at the center of the center of my life experience and enriches me so fully as if I am drinking from a vitalizing fountain that is infinitely abundant that there is no depletion of its resource. I am breathing this vibrant vitality through every pore in my skin and exhaling it omnidirectionally to the whole of existence. This state is also the culmination of having been so enriched by what I put in my body and how I beautify this temple. Eating a fully balanced diet of mineral, vitamin rich organic food, purifying toxins out of my system through fasting, consistent yoga, chi kung, all night shamanic trance dancing and surrounding myself with loving, creative, open hearted, open minded co-inspiritive dreaming agents. There are so many ways in which we can numb our senses through unhealthy food, negative belief patterns, television etc...and in turn limit our access to the full spectrum of our multi dimensional infinity that is our true selves. Iam no longer a sleepwalker, I am a skywalker! My intention is fully awaken my whole self, accept these extrasensory perceptions that are the natural by-product of walking in this way that are blossoming within and walk this great Gaian timeship as a lucidly awakened dreaming warrior. I am so deeply inspired by inspiration itself, surrendering to our God given right to wholeness in the heart. It certainly requires humility but I am giving up nothing and receiving everything! There exists a state of being within all of us that is a state of perfect tensegrity and balance, radiant luminosity and infinite creative abundance. The mind could never possibly encompass or contain the sheer magnitude and profundity of the true unity of all things in Love. Only through stilling the mind and senses can you awaken the divine eyes of the heart center, as all the great legacies of spritual traditions will attest to. I feel so cradled in the arms of the Goddess and nurtured and caressed into a state of unwavering trust and surrender to the will of the Divine. And this is exactly why my life experience is so staggeringly magikal and profound and deeply imbued with symbol rich meaning. I am weeping with rippling shockwaves of joy at simply being graced with the privilege of being alive in such a fun, nimble, stealthily agile, limber, unhindered and totally free human body!!! It has brought me great sorrow in the past that I have subdued this brilliance from those I truly love so dearly because I thought somehow I would be perceived to be totally crazy or that there would be no context to receive this level of experience. That time is over.I am here to shine so bright and be of humble service to the human experience by living all aspects of my life as a masterwork of art. I am presently at the cusp of my greatest prayers and dreams. All the puzzle pieces are perfectly in place and I am now in the core of my confidence to wholeheartedly embrace the many splendoured gifts being abundantly offered to awaken my soul to full spectrum consciousness. All my apprehensions aroud being a bright shining star, and my fears of outshining others are flashburning away from me alongside my ego identity. I am illuminating from within and it is beautifying all I see and touch. All of you are playing an integral role in this realization and I offer you the polished diamond of gratitude itself. The support and deep recognition I am receiving from all of my allies is strengthening me to the core, bringing me to a state of solidity and focused power to do the Great Work. Life is a magikal art, not a dull, sluggish sleepwalk through existence, denying the sacramental sanctity of the glory of creation. I feel so wholly blessed and touched by the hand of grace and it is returning me to my core blueprint of perfection where dis-ease and death are merely an illusion. From this moment onwards I will no longer deny or play down this graceful dance with Divinity. Feel free to do what thou wilt with this message, you can take it to heart or you can regard id it as a poetiic manifesto. You are loved more than you ever hoped or dreamed, you are Gods sweetest expression and I love you.
Dissolving all illusions and conceptual frameworks of mind. This is the journey to complete all journeys
The stepping off of the wheel
The unplugging from the matrix
The end of questions and the beginning of answers
Now is the moment for the awakening of the true self
And as I remember all of our selves as cells in the cosmic body
I see that the form is illusion
It is the formless original cause to which I die and am reborn every breath
Here and forever more infolding back into source
Within the surrendering there is freedom...One without seperation in time or space
Infinite Love is the only truth, everything else is illusion...
Infinite Love is the only truth, everything else is illusion...
Infinite Love is the only truth, everything else is illusion...
Infinite Love is the only truth, everything else is illusion...
Infinite Love is the only truth, everything else is illusion... _________________ Visionary art of Tyler Gentry. Futuristic surreal lanscapes and cosmic abstractions. Acrylic on canvas |

Does it hurt your soul to look into the mirror and see nothing but a pathetic wannabe? If "art" is the only thing you feel you excel at in life, your life isn't worth living. Kill yourself now and give us all a Valentine's Day present, you stupid, stupid little twat. |

Can somebody tell me how this qualify's as an artists statement, because personally I don't see more than just drivel. If you want to have a true artist statement critiqued, make one up. _________________ "It's not the tools you use but how you use them that counts." |

Remember Lawrence Ferlinghetti's, "A Coney Island of the Mind"
Well, this is kind of like Tyler Gentry's, "A Coney Island of the spleen"
Students in the psych dept. would call it flooding. |

Corny Spleen?
If this were in random musings it could be funny.
Here it takes on the more sincere tone of an evangelical broadcast. |

Hey this was kinda original and deep don't you think. Maybe I should finally watch the Revolutions part that I've managed to avoid so far.. |

I think old Strunk would have a thing or two to say about this.
Step away from the thesaurus, sir, please. We don't want to hurt you, but if you insist on using more phrases like "It is an overwhelmingly glorious transfiguration.", we'll have no choice. _________________ QED, sort of. |

i agree. i did the job to find the hidden phrase and guess what i found, after removing the logical unneeded words? this :
"i want to make love to my mom, someone help me."
now i understand why it was hidden behind 1200 other words.... tin-tsin... _________________ l'angle b |

So is it art as an artist statement? Or is it a statement by an artist attempting to be art?

Wow, I just realised, this is one of those Magic-EYE pictures!
Just stare at his post for a few minutes and move backwards and forwards, going cross-eyed occasionally. I can see a Conquistador with a tin hat.
