Default Furthermore. . .

Thanks Dien, I was waiting for you to post that sort of comment :)

The subconscious level is where I aim a lot of
my messages, and I think one of the exciting features of Gordon's remote hypnosis is that it
explains it clearly: who is the target ? what subconscious buttons must I push to reach that person ?

Another important aspect to subconsious messaging
is that it has to be, by nature, operating at a subliminal level. If it was blatant and in your face, it wouldnt make its way past the conscious processing mind, with all of its preoccupations.

Granted, this is one of the few times Ive actually stepped out into the open and explained the symbolism which I intended when designing this graphic, I much prefer to let people make up their own stories and interpretations for my "art", because on the whole, to a creative thinker, a picture can be many different stories and I think
each individual should create the story they want to see. When several minds can get together and independently arrive to the same story to describe a picture, then we have another interesting phenomenon of consciousness. But, that is a whole other story.

Each individuals experience is their own. Sometimes we can have and make shared ones.

So, Rick Net Guerilla, dont worry about not having all of the hidden symbolism spring to mind on first, fifth or even tenth look at it. I have come back to some of my pieces after 5 or more years and only then realised what they mean.

One really good way to train up in guerilla ontology and semantic jiggling is to read Robert Anton Wilsons books, they are a really good primer into seeing the world differently, although somewhat hard reading sometimes. Either that or it just twists your thinking...

I'll get off my soapbox now.
