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.

OH, IT'S JUST THAT . . .


. . . the planets have aligned in such a way that Pluto is where it was for the American and French Revolutions, Uranus is in the position of WWII and the Holocaust, all the first returns since those times, and now Neptune will enter 0˚ Aries, with the last time it being there was the beginning of the American Civil War. It's a good time to be named after a Civil War battle and look back into #BattleStudies and what art can do.

From a time when the highest attainments have been prescribed as profits and commercialism, ‘Sell, Sell, Sell!’ and now as those billionaires are set on tearing down the very systems that enabled them, tearing down the garden, the home, and bridge behind them,

for the past 15 years i have been, without stopping writing about the music, art, and literature, determined to set things right for John Mayer from someone who tried to steal his life, his choices, his art, and personhood from him, based on a lie that can be easily disproved,

and I have been determined to do this through the eternal art because it does culturally matter what we actually value, such as eternal wisdom and the heroics of altering the world away from war and where everyone can have a home.

Art has always been the carrier of that, and it powerfully moves around political systems, it moves past narcissism, past despotism, past ego, past fraud, and arrives again at humanity as that which exalts the human spirit and lifts our values again to humanity and strengthens the will of having them, coming from the deep internal/eternal.
