A New World is Born

"Time is blurred right now. The ancient is in us, the now is blaring in our faces, as they coexist. Much of the past is forgotten, as this new present emerges at a rapid rate. These neo-surreal landscapes of China where iPhone apps identify the changing and always horrible pollution, suggest this conglomeration of layers in a newly evolving world as I viewed it.” S.F.

“ I discovered the “Sixiang” archetype in my Feng Shui studies, and held imagery in my mind’s eye, that it would surround an emerging China and have metaphysical influence creating the ideal conditions for living. When North, South, East and West have alignment with the constellations of Black Turtle, Red Phoenix, Green Dragon and White Tiger ideals will emerge on the ground.
My research shows that others, aside from myself, thought that the Sixiang was a desirable stimulus for ideological Paradigm Shifts in China's World Views, for example the Mao Zedong Sixiang.

I’ve gone further in my personal meditations visualizing the sixiang intermingling with our a newly evolving world, to create ideals where all of us live side by side understanding and coexisting with each others differences amenably. . . etc. The appealing suggestiveness of the Sixiang has gone from Marxism-Leninism and Maoism to the Pragmatism-Multilateralism eras and to our New Age / me. “S.F.
