artist is in the very front rank of those who lead humanity toward better world

I went to see Mai today after her post yesterday. (Iku, the spirit of Death, is pursuing her according to her boyfriend's father, a Yoruba priest.) I'll let her tell the rest of the story when she can tomorrow. 

"The artist is in the very front rank of those who lead humanity toward a better world, more beautiful, more free, more just, more brotherly." - Frans Masereel

I usually keep this private, but for the last six, maybe seven years, if I encounter anyone  with an illness, I apply a wholeness reclamation technique called Ho'oponopono. You can learn more about it online, if you will. Ultimately, it's about owning your projections, recognizing everything in the world as a self-reflection.

"When I heard you talking about 100% responsibility not just for myself, but for every situation and problem, I thought, "Whoa! This is crazy! I don't need anybody telling me to be even more responsible!" Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realized that there's a big difference between overly responsible caretaking, versus totally responsible self-care. One is about being a good little girl, and the other is about getting free." -- Cat Saunders in an interview with Ihaleakala Hew Len, Ph.D.

Really grateful for the post and its gentle reminder to me.
The process ultimately offers us a thoroughly empowering way to live and reminds me of Casteneda's Don Juan and his philosophy of the warrior:
"For the average man, the world is weird because if he's not bored with it, he's at odds with it. For a warrior, the world is
weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable. A warrior must assume RESPONSIBILITY for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous time."
Thanks again
