It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness

About Me

The explorer and visual artist, and seasoned event coordinator MikE ALivE was born many times with countless noms de plume. He was, at first, a Dreamer and attended a conservative torture chamber called; "a mis-spent youth". Influenced initially by early San Francisco Cable Cars, He experimented with media beginning with Play-Dough, then onto Surrealistic Darkroom Photography, Doom Wave Music, Gouache, Organic Stone, Jewelry Design and moving onto plastics and materialized thought manifestations. Needless to say this has an adverse affect on the economy.
He read Voltaire, Sarte, some of the Eastern philosophers and later Ginsberg who became his great imaginary friend. He also met the spirit of Marinetti and it was the direct influence of hypnotic suggestion and countless meditations that impelled him into NEO/WAVE/FUTURIST thinking.
His writings, inspired by the wild energy of the first Renaissance, explore the connection between Non-Commercial Industrialism, TRUE Freedom and Consciousness Deployment.
Through his celebration of undeveloped psychic technology and his uses of Evolution and Wavelengths as icons, he directed the potent feelings towards his own vision. Subsequently he transformed the disruptive idea of the dynamic mechanized body into a metaphor for dematerialization and/or dimentional shifting.
This follows the notion that once a person figures out what is really occurring on multiple plateaus of consciousness [yoursminetheirs&ours], they will shift out of this dimention. -Keep in mind, the rules you follow dictate the outcome of the pardyme. The world is what you made of it.
He is currently fully fledged in Reality, a practitioner of Zen meditation, and pushing the envelope of fulfillment. (Oh, And he takes his vitamins)
Three cheers for the new things that haven't been discovered before. Tomorrow is a new day. We all create.
P.S. He wants everyone to grow.
