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.

Speaking Out


Liam Payne was very kind to me and I owe him this in speaking out about the all-encompassing, overwhelming pain he was feeling before his passing. Maybe I’m the only one who can speak against the narcissism because I’ve experienced it and watched it happen as a cultural state for a long time. I’ve written a great deal about it, but I never expected it to happen to such a beautiful young soul and for Liam to be vulnerable to getting hurt so badly.

Fame, money, and power have seemingly become what is most important in our lives and economy, and not for the better.

We have one man down. It's not okay.

We have okayed narcissistic abuse to insidiously call itself "speaking out" or female empowerment when it is gauged to gain fame and power and cause pain, giving it the power over someone to inflict that pain.

The pain caused to Liam Payne was extreme, even if you can't see it or care because you've never experienced betrayal and threat.

I lived through it with what happened to John Mayer and so few cared and slung more hate with the abuse. Humanity shockingly turned into a mass mob of hate.

What is happening to the person who made themselves vulnerable is that then that vulnerability was being exploited for power, publicity, and fame. It hurts like hell.

The biggest red flag of narcissistic abuse is just that: the willingness of a person to exploit another human being.

The person experiencing that abuse is experiencing the worst kind of pain: betrayal by someone they gave their trust. That person takes control over someone's expression and life. Can you imagine someone filled with hate taking that from you?

There is the question of whether they have the right to speak out or "female empowerment" over another human by that exploitation. Do they they have another path to fame, or is this their one shot? Is making another person a "loser" so that the abuser can be the "winner" healthy female empowerment? Absolutely not. Causing pain and exploitation is not empowerment.

In this exploitation of another human being what HASN'T happened is any kind of bond of love. Liam was trying hard to call on that love. It wasn’t there.

Love doesn't mean silence.

It means caring.
