Dear Newsletter Reader,
As I quickly move down the path toward my 60th birthday, now less than two weeks away, I am moved closer and closer to the cosmos as the true source not only of our being, but also of all things and all actions on this planet. I have been told by a new and clearly very wise friend, who presented himself recently as a reader of my newsletter, that, according to the Mayan calendar, the weekend of my birthday, the 17th and 18th of July, is extremely auspicious. This date is given as especially advantageous for a deep change in awareness in groups.
Profound and often uncomfortable change in consciousness is in the air. We can feel it, if we allow ourselves to do so. It is time for the many thousands of years of violence, oppression and hate on our planet to come to an end. The world's peoples so long oppressed by unfair rule are becoming increasingly uneasy as they discover how little knowledge the leaders of their societies have and how deep their lack of wisdom and foresight is.
My inner direction toward the cosmos is reflected in the pictures I have been producing in the last few weeks. I find myself increasingly unwilling to produce “normal” images to correspond to the expectations of the viewers of these images. Rather, I have become more willing to shock the viewer into awareness through the images. My intention is to awaken a deep sense of longing to “come back home” through them.
Andrew Terker
