HERALDING: THE NEXT-CYCLE
The time for experimentation is over.  Time is a web of interlocking cycles.  We are now nearing the end of the first swing, and as the final of the four ages fizzles out, the energy behind the next golden age mounts.  It is organic for these processes to happen slow, indifferent to human life.  It could be a thousand years, or many thousand.  But there is a choice to make in your own lifetime.  To be preoccupied with the apocalyptic process that has been playing out for centuries, or to be oriented to the inevitable golden age to come.  We suggest that the essence of this golden age exists mostly in thought-fire, at the crossroads of inspiration and creativity, where the Muse lurks.  When a divinely inspired idea becomes manifest it immediately is set to decay, a bell ringing out until delicate ears pick it up , barely, in the silver age.

A return to the golden age is a return to the natural harmony of the universe.  The reconstruction of the hierarchy of nature.  If you attempt to breathe water you drown.  If you put you’re hand into fire it will burn.  These are two examples where attempting something out of balance with natural hierarchy is obvious because there is an immediate reaction.  Many other actions disturb the balance without an alarm, though slowly they bring all to physical or psychological but always spiritual ruin.  Natural hierarchy is there for you to perceive, it is the paradigm of  pagan tradition, equipped with the polytheistic ability to readily process abstraction.  Fracturing all perception into an ecology of deep symbolic meaning.  The Gods, the Archetypes, the Elementals.

The time for experimentation is over.  To embrace hierarchy is to do so under oath.  An oath to the truth of your own perception.  Once the oath has been made to see the spiritual world, actions become charged with intent.  This age has left the world asunder.  There is nothing left for art to break down or destroy.  Aside from asceticism; punk, industrial, counter culture, science-fiction and so on  have already put consciousness into the alchemical crucible and through torment isolated it’s constituents.  Then these parts have been scrambled for decades by fringe artists spanning all disciplines.  The work that is now at hand is the deliberate reconstruction of consciousness.

Next-Cycle is Purposeful rather than Experimental.  Next-Cycle is Hierarchal rather than Conceptual.  Next-Cycle is Structural even though it is Abstract, and it’s abstractions are Visceral, Atavistic, and Divine.

We here by raise the flag of NEXT-CYCLE, let us see who shall salute it.
