This Reader

This Reader explores the subject of the human mind, and its limitations to control and manipulate physical and future events. The following series of art references, texts, projects, films and websites shape the essential question, what is human? Each reference addresses issues and forms examples and arguments which suggest that the human mind has a direct effect upon external factors, in both individual and mass scale. The gathered material proposes a greater self power over physical circumstances, and questions the individual and mass collected power, to control and change reality. This knowledge could then be asserted to address larger issues which may confront our current reality. The choice of material is in no chronological order, but explores varied approaches and methodologies all with similar concepts. The varied size and form of the material allows the information to be considered in the form the viewer finds most effective, it also allows for the choice of both brief viewing and more careful consideration. All the references suggest how the human mind holds a greater significant influence than we normally percieve, through intention, imagery, spiritual connections, altered states of conciousness and simple observation.

Braden, Gregg (1994) Awakening to Zero Point: The collective Initiation. Questa, New Mexico: Sacred Spaces/Ancient Wisdom
A book providing a powerful body of information, written by scientist, lecturer and author Gregg Braden. The book explores changes in the earths polarization and  human perception and experience. It  determines these changes with ancient texts which predict the changes are the end of a 2000 year cycle completed by an enormous ‘shift’. The information is presented with scientific diagrams and information as well as references and  personal experiences from the author. The book tries to offer an accurate synthesis of unfolding changes as all related. It is intended to be viewed as information to help understand individual and collective purpose. The second chapter is most relevant and focuses on the particular themes of matter and energy, and explains the influence of mind as the forces behind all matter and personal and mass situaltion. Page 56 magnetic Tension, the glue of consciousness.

The book is an important refrence as it gathers together themes which run thoughout the other refrerences offering a theory of how all the concepts coincide as one.
