The heartless AI and other computer programmers and the NWO self-proclaimed elite, all with their lifeless, human controlling and manipulating machines, have rendered the artist, in the World Economic Forum’s guru, Yuval Harari, words “irrelevant” and “obsolete.” We artists must not become disheartened, but instead rise above and in our many ingenious ways beautifully contribute to the creative and spiritual (in particular lacking) progress of humankind, if not our salvation.

.The Victory Of The Human Spirit – Christ Consciousness by Leslie M. Taylor 30″ X 40″ oil on canvas
This piece was created without the aid of a model or photo of a model – quite the challenge! The image here is also a bit blurry, very frustrating. I cannot capture the sharpness of my work in photographs of them as I did up to but a few years back whether professionally photographed or done myself. The original, now beautifully framed, is exceedingly uplifting to look at and feel while praying for humanity.

STREET WISE – The models below were some of the young people that would hang out in downtown Boulder, Colorado in front of the courthouse. Of the photographs I wanted to use I had the models sign model release forms and paid them $50 for the use of the photos for the paintings below. Realist artists cannot just paint anyone they please, they need permission from the subject.

This model and the one in the painting below, Sugar and Spike happened to be the same person. I did not know this until after the works were completed and a friend of the model informed me of this fact.
However, notice that I treated them just the same!
See these two together and compare for yourself:

THE ARTIST
I am a self-taught artist, I just knew how to draw and paint and even the use of the materials came naturally to me. My first paintings were as complex as my latest works. My father and grandfather both had this talent though they chose different career paths.
All humility aside, many people despise the beautiful and gifted unless somehow they can control and profit from them or are dead thus no longer a threat to petty egos. Others will just praise the stupid, ugly and ordinary. Technology has replaced the artist, you can no longer tell the difference between a computer program produced oil painting and one created by a human artist. Even the materials and textures are the same. They can be quite hostile works. I saw where a major NY gallery was featuring technopaths’ so-called artworks taking reproductions of Norman Rockwell’s brilliant oil paintings and replacing the figures in it with transgendered, transvestites and people of varying ethnicities. In their stupidity and insensitivity they believed they were improving on Rockwell’s post WWll, historically significant masterpieces as they “woke” humanity with their ‘in your face’ garbage.
Here, techno fools, is one of Norman Rockwell’s paintings:

THE VICTORY OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT – CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS
Past Life Regressions
I did a 30 minute past life hypnotic regression online with Dr. Brian Weiss where I encountered Christ. I’ve done past life regressions before, years ago, not online but in a more personal situation and the results were valid given my follow-up research about the places, timeframes and physical and behavioral evidences. In one case, for example, I was an African Pygmy male banished from my primitive tribe, for what crime I do not know. I died as a result of a poisonous water snake bite on my thigh as I was pushing my boat onto the bank of a river. As I lay down on the river bank crying, I was thinking, “Now I will die just as the animals die.” I awoke, still crying, to a red and sore lump that appeared on my thigh where the snake had bitten me. It was not there before. Also, I learned later that banishment from these tribes was a form of capital punishment for they could not survive alone in the jungle.
In this recent past life regression I was who I am today encountering Christ. I asked him if the modern miracle of the return of his presence that so many are waiting for (as if he had ever left) can be demonstrated by the replacement of religious artworks worldwide featuring the crucifixion, not as bloody, painful and torturous, but instead depicting his fully strong, healthy body and serene state of mind at the moment of his ascending the cross. Showing that in truth, despite what is currently believed and generally conveyed, the injuries, the pain and suffering were but a momentary illusion and what occurred instead was a miracle: God’s beloved Son (all of humanity) healed and whole, peacefully ascending, rising from the cross (symbolizing a point in the matrix of spacetime); a transcendence and that there is and was no death. After my rather involved request Christ did not speak, he didn’t have to, his response was clear, “Get to work.”
