The Hyper-Gnostic Manifesto
The Final Movement of the Avant Garde
In the spirit of creativity that guides humankind in its actions of perseverance wherein conflated pretenses of immense cultural, religious, ideological and economic tensions denigrate the ideals and ideas through which a peaceful and eternal unity can be achieved by and for the living and yet to live forms of life of Earth,
And in the name of perpetually accepted harmony of the diverse forms of human consciousness graciously occurring with the purpose of validating the existence of all the productive works of intriguing, if not completely innocuous, goodness by ensuring that they will be forever understood as expressive components of various specific points within the total of human historicity,
And to create, for that which is known in scarcity so that it may be known in abundance, the conceptual framework in which all works of innovative and repetitive beauty and cultural reflection are rendered irreducible by comparison and interpretation of their content and creators’ motivations, and softened so that even the most fragile or easily influenced of minds can find them palatable or, in the very least, passively associated to artistic form or forms,
And so the rampant counter-action of the trend towards the attempt to grasp all that was, is, may ever, and will ever be with the multi-causal, dialectic vehicle fueled by the mindset of negative dialectic perception known as post-modernism, post-modernity and post modern thought does not halt, with its ability to dilute ones will to action, the actualization of works by well informed persons,
It is declared that the madness begins its ending, and Genius begins its ever stretching perpetuation of being, NOW, with Hyper-Gnosticism.
The derogatory incursions aimed at artists, critics and persons as groups or individuals by each other, themselves and others of the same of each do little more than serve the function of exaltation of one at the cost of obscuring another for the goal of material success which only works to confuse the society in which such occurs as much as this paragraph does the same to the reader.
Time, if humanity survives eternally in Universe, is not to be thought of as the succession of moments through which persons do age, changes occur and events happen, rather it is the instrument of nature that implies degeneration or total transmogrification of all that is. This commonality is one that brings an equal value to all works, and, as this commonality makes equal all things through their erosion of being, the only knowledge of value a subjective perception (person or persons) can truly have is one of immediacy of experience hinged on a continuum between Perception and Conception the latter of which spans a range from Imagination to Actualization.
Hyper-Gnosticism presses into reality (consisting of choreographed and structured fragments of experience dependent upon and inciting human desires) the notion that all Artistic Endeavors, by their nature of being, are never commercial products or services. Any “compro” (or “comser”) is an artifact (or performance) that is celebrated and/or valued publicly, but a work of art is celebrated and/or valued by its creation/actualization/coming into being.
This means the works that are considered art, or even are viewed on the artistic scale that includes non-art (for some) by a person other than the artist who created the works renders those works as cultural artifacts, at best, a compro or comser, most likely, and retained and/or destroyed, eventually. This also means any and all works of the past and future that utilize media or representational symbols to conjure an artifice that creates an affect of the society through the constituent components of the society were and will be part of the Hyper-Gnostic movement.
This finality is all inclusive and promotes perpetual expansion and innovation of further artistic movements that, themselves, serve the same function as all artistic endeavors in that they labor to produce those products that are intended to awaken persons to the reality of the machinations, manipulations, preventative measures and moderations of desire and lack thereof which can obliterate all humanity if left unchecked and uncorrected, respectively, of, from and within the world constructed by humans that, as an entirety, effects the world that humans create, or simply communicate their vantage, within and of. Whether or not artists were, are or will be aware of it, all artistic movements arise within the movement of Hyper-Gnosticism.
It is not all a matter of time.
It is all a matter in time.
To that point of thought, this finality marks the beginning of what stretches indefinitely into the past and future to touch upon all endeavors of artistic intention while being the movement within the present (what ever present happens to be occurring) that intends or does not intend to enliven the spirit of peaceful, comfortable, expansive and enjoyable co-existence of all persons by means of communicating their view of the world to another despite the miniscule chance of being fully successful in the communication.
A Hyper-Gnostic artist is one who continues to create works in light of knowing that once presented, the works cease to be art. In that art presented is relegated to a designation of social-molding-device, this movement both closes the existence and re-invigorates the presence of all other artistic movements because all works become representations of human history including the contemporary interpretations of the works.
A Hyper-Gnostic theorist or critic is one that exploits all contemporary fashions of language possible to achieve an all encompassing interpretation or criticism that includes all of that upon which perception, by that one, of the work/artifact/pontificate is founded.
Holding belief in all or none, neither or both, a true Hyper-Gnostic will find that the communicative device of phonetic symbols (direct representational language) is, fittingly enough, the best representation of how systematized knowledge is the basis of the organization of any and all human life, environments, societies and cultures.
We have entirely too much fun and pain due to existence being driven forward relentlessly, and achingly caused, by human creative tendencies.
This is the end of the beginning of the arts of humanity, so
onward!
upward!
outward to the best of the better of all things.
Even a single utterance does.
Even a single thought too.
What do you think?

Ok i too got lost at ‘In the spirit of creativity that guides’ but I am persevering. I am not wordy like you so really am having trouble understanding a lot of it
But its great because I am learning new words, or words I had forgotten years ago.
I know only what I believe so if I go there then it may answer, in part, what you have written. If it does it is entirely by accident, but use it all the same LOL
I believe that ALL artists are wonderful creative people and I aim to help them grow together as much as I can using my two sites. However I have seen the angst they go through when it isnt necessary, and the backstabbing among many as they try to outdo the other.
They dont seem to realise there is room enough on this planet for all of them, with their unique styles, and it is only the people that create just for the masses that will die out. You have to be unique but you are also part of the whole.
All art to me is special… advertisements are art, music is art, paintings, photogrpahy, poetry and your words… All art.
Nothing to do with what you write perhaps but, I just wanted to say that I can look at an abstract and not understand it a jot. (In fact most of them I dont) but they can have a sense, a colour, a shape that draws me and makes me look again and again. This piece of writing had that.
