Here’s my newest book cover 🌟 US Army Insider Missions 2 by Dr. Michael Salla
I’m tremendously proud of this collaboration. I used to wait for publishers to hire me, but in recent years I’ve been offering my services to those whom I admire the most.
This weekend is The Galactic & Spiritual Informers Connection in Orlando. Dr Salla is a highly respected educator who will be speaking, accompanied by other prominent voices including Elena Danaan. Last year I created the art and design for her book, The Seeders 🧡

“Ontological shock” refers to a deep and unsettling feeling of cognitive dissonance or realization when one’s fundamental understanding of reality, existence, or the nature of being is disrupted or challenged. It is the profound disorientation that occurs when one encounters a concept, experience, or idea that fundamentally contradicts their established beliefs, assumptions, or worldview.
Ontological shock often leads to a period of reflection, reevaluation, and potentially a shift in one’s fundamental understanding or perspective on life and existence.
Thomas Kuhn, a twentieth-century physicist and philosopher of science, coined the phrase “paradigm shift†and extrapolated upon it in his book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
A paradigm shift is a major change in how people think and get things done that upends and replaces a prior paradigm. A paradigm shift can result after the accumulation of anomalies or evidence that challenges the status quo, or due to some revolutionary innovation or discovery.
While the tech-oriented hordes rave about AI as a shortcut to creativity, those who’ve committed to the challenges of communicating through their own hands, eyes, and hearts are struggling. The struggle is with meaning, purpose, and autonomy.
Do artists have to submit to Big Tech to stay relevant? Does the artist’s journey matter in a world dominated by screens and simulations? Furthermore, how do we all maintain our own well being when the shape of the human form is continually being manipulated by new gadgets, new media, and the ever-growing attention economy?
The answers to the biggest questions about life and our place in the universe are available to each of us. All it takes is the initiative to seek out information from enough reliable sources that the beautiful truth becomes self-evident. When we explore with a vigilant mind and an open heart, we can claim our sovereignty as truly awake and aware human beings 🧡
