1) We have all become Adam and Eve , trying
desperately to make it back to where we came
from ..................... another planet, another plane, another dimension. The social outcast thing for me represents turning your back on a true path, that of light and love.
2) Without shadow there can be no Light.
3) Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder .......... where there is Love there is an abundance of beauty for all.
4) In our physical form we are embryonic .......... connecting to our higher self we can give birth.
5) Opening your mind to the infinite possibilities of Love and Light will open the gateway back to the " Garden of Eden ".
6) Humans are afraid to Love, they see it as a form of weakness.
7) Why? Is a crooked letter......
5) When someone dies, we all quickly gather around the corpse just to be certain that we are not the dead one.
6) Tears are made of all those dreams that our body cannot process.
1. T if we are all social outcasts from another planet
2. T - without a shadow we never see the light
3. F - real beauty comes from within and requires a lot of work and polishing to be in pristine condition
4. F - to think this gives us an excuse not to try a whole lot harder and to grow up and face our responsibilities as a race. There may be no second chances.

6. A healthy ego is the greatest love of all and the greatest gift we can give others.

These questions of perception remind me of my visit to the MET with my son's kindergarten class. The teacher asked the group of 24 five year olds whether they thought Damien Hirst's 'shark...' was art? Without a moment's hesitation they all responded NO. She then asked them why was it at the MET, in a gallery of art? After some thought they pronounced: one of the museum curators had gone on a fishing trip and caught a shark. However, because it was too big to keep at home, the curator had brought it to the MET and put it in a spare corner next to the window. The children left believing their interpretation was true, because no-one presented them with Damien Hirst's story, the reason he made the piece. The only thing present was a small caption with the artist's name, title of work, date made, etc.
A few years ago I visited a female sculptor from South Africa, who had gone to England for a project that set out to expose the art world to the work currently being produced by artists from non-western traditions. Namely those artists working within the continent of Africa. Her name was Noria Mabasa and she had made a series of ceramic sculptures of mothers holding babies. None of the visitors to her studio during the open day, stopped to speak with Noria about her work. Some women stopped to admire the primitive quality and sentimental subject matter. Noria told me that she had made the work to teach girls: that it was dangerous to feed their baby whilst watching T.V. because the baby might choke and die, while the mother was distracted. Another was made to warn young girls not to dress and wear bangles, etc. to attract men. For once they become pregnant the men would leave them with no money and a child to raise on their own. And so it went on...
The other woman working in the studio with Noria was Reinata Sadhimba. Reinata was from Mozambique. After seeing Noria's work Reinata began to make a ceramic image of a mother holding a baby. Again no-one stopped to speak with her about her sculpture, which was not so aesthetically sweet. Reinata told me: When she had been enrolled to carry the arms and amunition for FRELIMO, the freedom fighters, she and her group had to take cover on the side of the path in the bushes. Her baby had begun to cry. It's cries put the group in danger of discovery. A soldier had taken the baby from her and swung it so the baby's head smashed against a tree trunk. As Reinata told me this story, her story, Noria stopped to listen. After the telling we all sat quietly. Noria cried.
When Reinata and Noria left for home their work was displayed in a London gallery - with small black and white captions stating name, title, date, etc.

ps/. The IDEAL School of Manhattan is still looking for a new home.
5) We make our own reality.
6) #5 is a false statement.
I have just sat down to read today's New York Times and there it is - an article about Damien Hirst. What a co-incidence that I should have just written to you about his 'shark' earlier this morning...
Love,
Rachel.
ps/. I wonder if he would be interested in creating a new home for The IDEAL School of Manhattan. It would surely become of his most important works of art... and a living one at that.

1) A creationmyth from the middle east,,putting the male first...heard another myth ..tha "GOD" told eve to let him ADAM think that otherwise he would have been pissed......NOT TRUE

3) True beauty comes from NOSELF...TRUE..
4) Most of us...TRUE
%) CULTURE means to cultivate GROW SPIRITUALLY
6) BUDDHA means AWAKE
1/ false...makes me think of Dr.Who
A and E were ideas...
2/ false, but I agree that without a shadow our dimensions would be flatter...we need datkness and light. But I think a lot of people want to stay in the shadows.
3/ Ownership? Ha! No-one owns anything but their beautiful brains. So true.
4/ True as. We are tiny babies. Tiny idiot babies.
5/ There is a dark side of everything.
6/ There is a bright side of evreything.
1. I'm not sure. I wasn't there. And I am not being cocky, I just seriously wasn't there, but I hope one day to know the truth.
2. I know I am afraid of the shadows because I can't see what is there. I don't know what two dimensional life would be like, but I would be willing to try it on a temporary basis with an option to buy.
3. True. Beauty is untamable. Once you put anything in a cage it slowly loses it's beauty and vitality, becomes merely a novelty of what it once was.
4. Maybe. No, true. I think that being human is embryonic, the spirit that continues on is only just born into what is really out there.
5. Fear is the driving factor of hate.
6. Death exists.
5) ...there is no future in hate

1) Adam and Eve were inventions by wise people. they were chosen as symbols. Representatives. they give an explanation but what they explain is false.
2) I cannot speak for people without their consent. That is why i'm an advocate. As a self advocate i can say i love my shadow. I like how he wears my hair and plays with my height. There have been very grey days this year. Why that depresses me is because i am not allowed to welcome my shadow often enough.
3) Beauty is another fake concept. You need to own your own concepts. I like the idea of diamonds in the dirt but the dirt remaining beautiful without the diamonds. I can gorw in the dirt. I cannot grow in the diamond. I donot own the dirt i plant in. I might own a diamond for a while.
4) Errrmmmmm!!!!!! Surely we are all someones babies.
5) There claim is for 125% You cannot have 125% Only 100.
6) The buyer pulled out. the sale went ahead. There is nothing to be bought or sold.
1)Adam and Eve were beautiful rebels.
2)Aaaah those shadows. If it were not for some people projecting theirs outside of them, there would be no wars probably. To face our Shadow is scary. Art is the best way to see it in front of us.
3)True. Since from my frame of mind beauty is in every little corner, from the invisible, microscopic to breathtaking landscapes. There is even beauty in what can appear to be at first ugliness.
4)The physical part of the human animal race is not but the other part yes.
5)You are me and me too I am you.
6)we are all almost not crazy
PS -
Yoko, I love your artwork for the questionnaireII. I can see shadows in there.
