Orsismo

Just back from the Island of the Sun on lake Titicaca. Wow, they say the sun was born there and I don't doubt it. Although everyday at night it rains and storms like a hurricane and the temperature drops, during the day the sun is so hot Ive roasted a whole layer of my skin like a lizard. Its because we re so close to the sun I think. The island has the perfect climate for agriculture and its been completely transformed for thousands of years by different cultures to have graded steps for growing. We walked over the whole thing. It sure is nice seeing donkeys and pigs and sheeps and shepherds and lamas. It definately feels like stepping back in time. All the people are still dressed like witches but some of them have cell phones. There's ancient crumbled temples all over the place. On one side there's a hippy beach where all these long hairs are living with their dreadlocks and cooking fires. This lake is like a giant puddle sitting way up in the mountains. Apparently its left over from the great flood and thats why there's traces of the great antidiluvian civilizations here. I asked a little girl about it and she said that its good to leave coca leaves as offerings to the gods. I asked her if it was for jesus or for the panchamama (mother nature) and she said it was all the same. For heaven's sake, the suppression of the coca plant by our nations is a crime. As shown by its widespread worship and reverance here its obviosly a gift from the gods albeit the devil may be the one who taught how to synthesize into cocaine. Now we ve left Bolivia and are on the peruvian side of the lake again. We re headed to a place called the Muru Doorway that apparently is a stargate into another dimension. Legend has it that this dude named Amaru, a high Incan preist was fleeing the Conquistadors with this magical sacred object called the Sun Disc. And apparently he fled through this door. Apprently the locals stay clear of it. People have been known to disapear into it for days. We re going to camp outside of it. I just read Brave New World. Found an artist´s dossier by this guy named Mosho. He makes art based on the ruins and ancient cultures around here. He made his own style of art and called it ORsism0. Here´s a youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2qrG-aunos. And here's some good quotes from him. I think I may convert to Orsism;

-Mosho worked non stop to find his own artistic language. He made various imaginary journey's and always came back with great finds, with encounters with himself.

-An Orsist painter will be one that creates their art thinking of themselves as a small god destined to stop time after receiving the gifts of the founding gods of all humanity. The artist will feel under teh power of strange cosmic forces to paint the othe side of divinty and life.

Last night I dreamt that I solocited help for my music from Burton. Anyone know how I can get in contact with Burton?
