There is no secret meaning hidden in my works. Brotherhood in the collage you asked about means soul brothers and sisters waiting to be discovered. Unconventional people are often alone with their insights and their desire to act. I want to remind those people that their true family will usually not be found among blood relatives. Your true family is scattered like starfish on a beach — you have to go looking for them.

I made all of these collages as illustrations for essays that appear on our website, and have created a page that shows , most of them in one place. Or you can view a . Maybe seeing a few more will give you a better perspective of where I'm at.

Our motto is "Social progress through personal development", and my art is supposed to encourage and entertain humans. (Smearing poop on walls and calling that art is cynical and disrespectful.) I try to show wisdom and strength, and I use pretty, scientific, and sometimes even funny elements. I don't care about what starfish and owls might represent to the misbehaving boys in private men's clubs like Bohemian Grove. That's the fault neither of the owls nor the starfish.

You might be surprised to learn that Hitler has made the term "leader" difficult for Germans to use — we have to use the words "manager" or "supervisor" now even even though neither word expresses the same idea as "fuhrer". And if we don't have a word for "leader", we risk becoming leaderless. The banishment of the ancient Hindu swastika from modern design is less harmful but equally illogical. For this reason, I refuse to limit my artistic expression just to avoid symbols that have been misused in the past.

We offer a new kind of psychological counseling — not the sort that declares people victims, forces them to dig through dirt, and then tells them how to adopt to a sick society so they will be happy. We are interested in encouraging people, strengthening and challenging them. We help them see clearer. And we don't make money with it — we are doing it out of love and friendship.

Our theoretical foundation is psychological polarity, an ancient concept you certainly have heard about and about which you can learn more by visiting our Timeline of Polarity Awareness. But we feel that earlier formulations of this concept have been faulty. For example, we don't oppose good with bad, or love with hatred, like the Manichaeans did, but rather see good as analogous to beauty, and love as analogous to power. Our worldview is not antagonistic, but complimentary.

The freemasons tried to talk about polarity too, but they wanted to create a superman who united both elements in one person. But that way, psychological types would be useless, and polarity — the driving element of life — would be gone. They also made it a "secret teaching" instead of offering it to humanity at large. Manichaeism and Masonry are, for us, only false starts on the road to real insight. For a crash course in a better theory of polarity, check out our Thumbnail Sketch of Rosenfelsian Semantics.

I am utterly against any secrecy, and I don't hide secret messages in my art. People who are free from intimidation and seduction are able to decide at what pace they want to learn, how much, and what "secrets" they want to discover. Ever since I learned about the freemasons, I've regarded myself as a bit of a Prometheus bringing back a light that has been stolen by naughty little dwarfts dressed up as gods. And, for me, the works of Paul Rosenfels are the currently most progressive theories in the science of human nature.

The world is good and beautiful, and so are human beings, but to understand this, we need knowledge, not elitist societies. If you are interested in this topic, and want to sharpen your perception of polarity without buying into a lot of psychiatric gobbledygook, study . This is probably the most useful dictionary of the 21st century.

Thank you for asking me that question!
