Books of the Southwest presents THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S happening in art and reality (and a false reality presented as relatable, sellable biography with no actual truth) to break open that wrong in self-realization for a monumental, global cause. The world-altering artists are in full brilliance and action. As literature shows, they are always necessary especially when freedom and spiritual abundance is threatened and not communicated in the eternal-breaking-through consciousness and Being way, as Homer showed in his epic song, manipulative and cheap rumor (publicists feeding tabloids with a false "conversation" with the public who naively believe they are listening to a 'close, reliable friend'). This comes from an awareness in 750 B.C. and back further. The eternal artistic voice is always internally realized in immediate truth, then just as immediate in the "here and now." Penelope, as the state of internal Beingness, the eternal of her in her (body) "chamber," is the one who speaks the difference of Beingness, which is the opposite of Narcissistic Personality Disorder that defines a very limited, blind culture and existence. It is only a "repetition" of what is heard and not true being fully alive. This escalation of untruths began coming to the challenge of consciousness with a pre-meditated concocted lie about John Mayer in October 2010 brewing from 2008 from a young plagiarist bought entry into the "music" industry with hired marketers and publicists from a capitalist's greed, but with no powers of creation or original content, only repeating what she saw around her and calling it her own. This is the test of the value of art for freeing a culture.

Illumination Is

Illumination is being recognized (even by yourself) as the Being that you are and feeling how wonderfully this lights you up from the inside. Illumination is coming from being behind people who seek to darken you so that they have your light and energy instead of you. Illumination is radiating your true Being and energy from your center, the navel of the universe, at your solar plexus, and from there being rooted down in Being in the Body, living in, owning, and feeling your body, Being a part of your true tribe, and in your rootedness knowing in those lower enegeries a deep sense of eternal safety, security, peace, and abundance, and all of this alive in the powerful energy of Nature coming into you to heal you and make you whole.  It is the goddess in the body.  It is eternity in the body. 

Illumination is moving into awareness and purposefully taking out all the past pain. It is bringing light into the world to heal others’ pain so that they, too, can feel adored. Illumination is Being a layer cake, and the wine, and eating it, too, in every moment of your life. Illumination is sleeping in a teepee with the love of your light/life underneath the moonlight, even in your living room or on your own back porch (in Montana with a real bear, preferably), the record player going, and with the dogs and kids, and a neighbor or two.

Illumination is seeing the Sun and knowing you have waited for him your entire life and feeling wrapped in and lit by his warmth and love, all of life renewed.

Love and the Hero/Heroine find the way.  That's What Is.
