THE OPENING OF THE TRUNK: REOPENING THE LINES OF FREEDOM FOR THE BIRTH OF A NEW WORLD

THE OPENING OF THE TRUNK: REOPENING THE LINES OF FREEDOM FOR THE BIRTH OF A NEW WORLD

'The Opening of the Trunk' is a video based on Jim Morrison's poetry recorded on 11th November 2013 as my soul's offering a gift of pleasant surprise to Him on the occasion of the eve of my birthday. It narrates a journey in eternal time through vivid reminiscences of childhood pastoral betwixt images of the strange splendor of 'life in art' and 'art in life' caved in the dream epiphany of Nicholas Roerich's paintings of the pristine sanctity of beauty in the Himalayas, and the divine injunction of the occult stone from Sirius (the Chintamani Stone/Shambhala) with Netherlandish painter Hieronymous Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, the Sri Gouranga Lila- the Rasa-Lila of the Adi Purusham and the Star on a Gaussian Plane. The image texts also refer to the 60's counter-culture movement and the deep divine connection it had with the concept of universal love and brotherhood.

"The Star on a Gaussian Plane" is painting done by me bearing divine messages for the coming time with grace coming from Shambhala and the supra-cosmic 'Sri Khetra'.

The background score is from Morrison Hotel (Indian Summer).
