“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infintesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.” ~ Alan W.

“Yesterday, a man tried to yell hateful religiously inspired things about gay people in Pitt Street mall. So, myself and the other buskers moved my stuff behind him and drowned out his negativity. The crowd cheered and sang along and soon enough he was gone. Thank you Sydney for taking a stand for equality. Whether you’re homosexual or transgender or even just confused, you’re still my friend.” ~Axel Winter Posted on March 11, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Inspiration 1 Comment
Raul Lemesoff, an eccentric artist in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has created a bizarre tank-like ‘Weapon Of Mass Instruction’ (Arma de Instruccion Masiva) that he intends to use to battle ignorance and spread knowledge. Driving through the streets of Buenos Aires, he delivers free books to young and old alike. His only demand – that they promise to read what he’s given them. Awesome :) Posted on March 11, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Inspiration Leave a comment
“On Oct. 24, 1975, 90% of Icelandic women went on strike, refusing to do any work at their homes or their jobs. It was the largest demonstration in the nation’s history and shut down the entire country. Airports were closed, schools were closed, and hospitals couldn’t function. The strike had an immediate and lasting impact. The following year, Iceland’s Parliament (now half women) passed a law guaranteeing women equal pay and paid maternity leave. Four years later, Iceland elected the world’s first female President. And today, Iceland has the highest gender equality in the world.” ~US Uncut Posted on March 10, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Activism Leave a comment
“You have sole ownership of your vision. And the Universe will give you what you want within your vision. What happens with most people is that they muddy their vision with “reality”. Their vision becomes full of not only what they want but what everybody else thinks about what they want, too. Your work is to clarify and purify your vision so that the vibration that you are offering can then be answered.” ~Abraham Posted on March 10, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Olga Klimowa
“Your head’s like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune’s all we are.” ~ Grant Morrison, The Invisibles, Vol. 1: Say You Want a Revolution Posted on March 9, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment
