The American Dream

"In 2008, leave narrow and exclusive ideologies at home
and carefully consider your immediate experience.
2008
What has America achieved that you admire?
What has it done or failed to do that fills you with dismay?
What is laudatory? What is ludicrous?
Put blame aside, let humor thrive,
and dare to contemplate a larger question:
What can America contribute to the world?"

The Green Man
He does not
speak or sleep;
he waits!
2007
Humanity's relationship to nature.
Do we, as conscious beings,
exist outside of nature's way,
or does its force impel us and inform
the central root of who and what we are?

"His name means the Green One or Verdant One,
he is the voice of inspiration to the aspirant and committed artist.
He can come as a white light or the gleam on a blade of grass,
but more often as an inner mood. The sign of his presence is the
ability to work or experience with tireless enthusiasm
beyond one's normal capacities...".
~William Anderson

The Future

Psyche
The Conscious
The Subconscious &
The Unconscious
2005

The Mind Shaft Society once again chartered Playa Air,
"a shitty airline, but it gets you there".
We flew south of the border deep
into the Youcantan Peninsula
where under the direction of Dr. Roxie,
the resident Mind Shaft Society psychologist,
we discovered the secrets of an undiscovered
Mayan God ~ Huracan.

Vault of Heaven
search for the Cosmic Giggle
2004

The Mind Shaft Society embarked on
a search for the Cosmic Giggle. We have all
experienced it one or more times in our lives.
Some of us get it easily, others have to look harder.

2002

Inspiration Island may be just what you need
to adjust your attitude! Feeling dazed and confused
from all of the recent world events? Perhaps you
feel you have the answer and can inspire others.

Expiate...
undo bad ideas
2001

Visit the Mind Shaft for a moment or an hour.
Give us your Mind and we'll give you the Shaft.

The Mind Shaft Society will help you
undo your bad ideas,
take back past mistakes,
expiate your greed,

your fourth ex-husband or wife,
that left turn into the desert,
in The Mind Shaft.
